Anatomy RSM

BIOL20912 Anatomy RSM 10 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 2 Stefan Gabriel Unit coordinator School of Biological Sciences 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Middle part of Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 5.0 This Research Skills Module is designed to develop your experimental design, report writing and practical skills. Working under the supervision of Anatomy staff you will develop a range of skills by studying dissection, histology, the comparative method, bioarchaeology, surface anatomy and the use of imaging modalities. Working as part of a group you will design and carry out a research project to perform an in-depth study of an area of anatomy. This Research Skills Module is designed to develop your experimental design, report writing and practical skills. Working under the supervision of Anatomy staff you will develop a range of skills by studying dissection (of pigs, deer and cattle), histology, interpreting anatomical sections, the comparative method, surface anatomy (of the human thorax), bioarchaeology (of human remains) and the use of imaging modalities. Working as part of a group you will design and carry out a research project on an area of anatomy. • To give students the opportunity to make an ‘in depth’ investigation of an area of anatomy after gaining appropriate skills.  • To gain skills in experimental design; data collection and interpretation; and presenting anatomical findings.  • To gain experience of scientific collaboration by working as a member of a team.   To be able to: • Use a diverse range of anatomical references and the primary literature • Appreciate anatomical variation and know how to evaluate it • Conceive and execute a study on a given aspect of human or comparative anatomy • Collect, analyse and present data in the format used for publication • Have an 'in depth' understanding of an aspect of human or comparative anatomy Analytical skills Students have to analyse their quantitative data using appropriate statistical tests. They also have to consider which is the best way to present that data in writing and in graphical form. Group/team working Working in small groups to answer scientific questions. Innovation/creativity Students are given a project outline. After that it is up to them to come up with scientific questions and devise ways to answer them through research. Leadership The mini-projects are intended to be collaborative efforts for groups of five students. Nevertheless, some students may embrace a leadership role whilst undertaking them. Project management Establishing research questions and managing time, direction and methodology appropriately to answer them during the mini-projects. Problem solving You will ask scientific questions and work out how to collect repeatable data to answer them, how to test that data, how best to analyse that data, and then how to interpret your findings. Research You will carry out mini-projects which allow you to come up with and test scientific questions using methodologies appropriate to anatomical research including histology, dissection and bioarchaeological analyses.

Health and safety information will be delivered at the start of practical sessions, and students who are not present at the start may be asked to leave the lab). Students who arrive late will be marked as absent for that session.Failure to attend a session (an unauthorised absence) will result in a 10% (i.e. 10 mark) penalty being applied to the overall RSM mark (i.e. a student obtaining a mark of 65% overall will instead receive a mark of 55%). Further absences will result in further penalties (i.e. 2 absences = a penalty of 20% (as described above)). For the short practicals feedback will be provided during or after the sessions. Feedback on the mini-project report will be given during the latter part of semester 4.
