Activitats d'avaluació:

The overall score in the subject will consist of the weighted average of the 6 marks obtained in the Moodle quizzes (25%), practical exams (25%), and final theoretical exam (50%).

The practical exam will consist of identifying anatomical structures in the mannequin and in images given in the lectures.

The theoretical exam will consist of multiple choice questions (MCQ) with 5 different options. A penalty will be applied for incorrect answers. No penalisation will be applied from unanswered questions.
Students must achieve a minimum score of 5 in the theoretical exam in order to obtain the weighted average score of continuous assessment (Moodle quizzes and practical exams). A minimum final score of 5 is necessary to pass the subject.
Students who fail to accomplish these criteria will be required to sit the Basic Competences Exam (BCE).

Note: Participation and delivery of class activities are highly encouraged throughout the course and can be discretionally used by teacher as an additional part of the assessment.

The BCE will have a theoretical component (60%) which will consist of MCQ containing 5 different options with penalisation applied for incorrect answers; and a practical component (40%) consisiting of gap fill questions to identify anatomical structures displayed in images. A mimimum weighted score of 5 is necessary to pass the BCE.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
Students who do not attend to any of the evaluation components will be marked with a zero for the missed component.

Avaluació única:
For students who opt for the Special Evaluation (non-continuous assessment), they will be required to take an oral practical exam and a theory exam.
The theory component is worth 60% and will consist of MCQ regarding theoretical concepts acquired throughout the course.
The practical component is worth 40% and will consist of identifying anatomical structures structures in the mannequin and/or in images given in the lectures.
The pass mark for each component individually will be 5/10. Students must pass both exams in order to pass the subject. In case of not accomplishing these criteria, the student will be required to sit the BCE.
Please note that the decision for taking the Special Evaluation must be informed to the professor by email before the 19th Feb 2021.

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
Students must achieve a minimum score of 5 in the theoretical exam in order to obtain the weighted average score of continuous assessment (Moodle quizzes and practical exams). A minimum overall score of 5 is necessary to pass the subject.
Students who fail to accomplish these criteria will be required to sit the Basic Competences Exam (BCE). A minimum score of 5 on the BCE is required to validate the subject.

The lecturer will be available for mentoring upon previous request via Moodle chat or email.

Students must contact the lecturer via Moodle chat or email.

The contents studied in Anatomy II are very extensive, therefore it is recommended a daily routine of studies. The success in this subject comes from knowing the terminology, the three-dimensional visualization of the structure(s) and using that knowledge to solve problems.

The Anatomy II course is organised under the systemic approach, which consists in the description of the major systems of the body – cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, immune, integumentary, reproductive and nervous.


Learning outcomes:

- Identifying anatomical structures as a knowledge base to establish dynamic relationships with functional organisation.
- Knowing the different movement orientations and the position in space of the human body.
