YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS A STUDENT IN THIS UNIT

As a student of Deakin University, you have rights in relation to your study in this unit for example, to be
respected, stimulated, challenged and valued as an individual; to be taught by competent, motivating and
accessible teachers who provide timely and thoughtful feedback to you on your work; and to have access to
review and appeal processes should they be required.
Importantly, you also have responsibilities as a member of the University community for example, to accept
and act on advice and feedback on your academic performance; to participate constructively in learning in
class and online; and to treat staff and other students with respect and courtesy.
For more information about your rights and obligations to other students and staff while studying this unit, go
to http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/enrolment-fees-money/rights-and-responsibilities.
IMPROVEMENTS IN RESPONSE TO STUDENT FEEDBACK

Your comments provide valuable feedback for ongoing improvements to units and are taken into account when
courses and units are reviewed.
The following changes have been made as a result of feedback from previous students:
Changing the sequencing of topics so that pracs and tutes align better with lecture content
Incorporating multiple choice tests early in the trimester to give students a better indication of their
progress
Simplifiying the due dates for the practical class quizzes
Towards the end of the teaching period you may be emailed a link to the unit evaluation survey
(http://www.deakin.edu.au/evaluate/). I encourage you to participate, as constructive feedback from students
will assist us to make improvements to this unit where necessary.

In Trimester 1, HBS109 is taught in Campus and Cloud (online) mode, therefore Campus students will utilise
classes, practical classes and seminars as well as the study guide, practical manual and online resources.
Cloud (online) students will utilise recorded classes, study guide, practical/seminar manual and online
resources available via CloudDeakin. Communication between students and staff will be undertaken mainly in
classes and using the discussion boards in CloudDeakin to allow students to share their learning experience.
To discuss issues of a more sensitive nature, email or phone communication should be utilised. Students will
also utilise to prescribed text to access information for their studies.

Note
Full details of assessment tasks will normally be published in CloudDeakin by the week before the beginning of
trimester.
Assignment submission
You must keep a backup copy of every assignment you submit, until the marked assignment has
been returned to you. In the unlikely event that one of your assignments is misplaced, you will need to
submit your backup copy.
Any work you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting collusion
and/or plagiarism.
When you are required to submit an assignment through CloudDeakin, you will receive an email to your
Deakin email address confirming that it has been submitted. You should check that you can see your
assignment in the Submissions view of the Assignment folder after upload, and check for, and keep, the email
receipt for the submission.
Assessment items 1 and 2 will be submitted utilising the quizzes tool in CloudDeakin
UNIT LEARNING RESOURCES

Essential learning resources
Anatomy and Physiology by OpenStax College http://cnx.org/content/col11496/latest/
This text can be downloaded for free (various formats, check the website for details) or purchased in hardcopy
from the DUSA Bookshop
The study guide, laboratory materials and seminar notes will be available via CloudDeakin. These need to be
printed and brought to class, or be available via an electronic device.
Another useful learning tool recommended for this course is an the App Essential Anatomy by 3D4Medical
http://applications.3d4medical.com/essential_anatomy_3/
PART 2: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LEARNING AT DEAKIN

ASSESSMENT
Referencing
deakin.edu.au/referencing
Referencing is used to provide acknowledgment of sources of information, to avoid plagiarism, and is usually
important for placing your work within a body of knowledge.
Digital Literacy
www.deakin.edu.au/library/teach/digital-literacy
Being digitally literate means being able to search and navigate, think critically and analyse, create and
communicate information using a variety of digital media.
Avoiding plagiarism and collusion
26 February 2015
Page 10 of 13

Plagiarism is the use of other people's words, ideas, research findings or information without
acknowledgement, that is, without indicating the source. These sources may include other students, internet
sites, textbooks or journals. Plagiarism is a very serious offence and Deakin University has procedures and
penalties to deal with instances of plagiarism and with collusion (acting with another person with the intention
to deceive, for example submitting someone elses work). This link provides further information on how to
avoid plagiarism and collusion: http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support/referencing/plagiarism
Penalties for plagiarism are detailed in Schedule A to the Student Academic Misconduct procedure.
Further information can be found in Regulation 04.1(2) - Academic Misconduct
Submission of Assignments
Extensions
All extension requests in the Faculty of Health should be made well in advance of the assignment or test date.
For applications submitted within 3 days prior to the assignment due date, a current draft of the assignment
showing progress towards completion must be submitted with the extension application.
Assignment and Online Test Extension Application Form for the Faculty of Health can be downloaded from
www.deakin.edu.au/health/current-students/index.php
Further information regarding extensions and rescheduling of assessment tasks is available via
www.deakin.edu.au/students/assessments/special-consideration
Penalties for late submission without approved extension
Students who submit an assignment late, without an approved extension, will have their mark reduced by 10%
of the marks available for the first day late, and a further 5% for each day thereafter, up to a maximum of five
days altogether. Assignments which are submitted more than five days after the due date (without an
approved extension form) will not be assessed; they will be awarded a mark of zero.
The Faculty of Health rule on assignments which are submitted late, without the prior approval of the Unit
Chair, is that, except in extraordinary circumstances:
The students work will be marked according to the normal marking scheme. A late penalty will then be
applied: the students mark will be reduced by 10% of the marks available for the first day late, and a
further 5% for each day thereafter, up to a maximum of five days altogether.
In the case of paper based submission, the number of days refers to working days. For all other
submissions calendar days should be applied.
Marking responses to provide feedback to students are due in 15 working days.
For example, if an assignment with a total maximum mark of 50 is submitted one day late, the students
mark is then reduced by 5 marks (10% of 50).
Thus if the student scored 40/50, the final score will be 40 - 5 = 35.
If the assignment has been submitted two days late, a penalty of 15% of 50 (= 7.5 marks) would apply.
Results common questions

If you have any questions or concerns about your assessment, or about the mark you are awarded for an
individual assessment task, it is best to speak to your Unit Chair or Unit Coordinator in the first instance.
There is also a formal process to apply for a review of your overall unit result, including assessment in any part
of the unit, through the relevant Faculty Committee. Applications must be submitted within five working days
of the release of results.
For Faculty Committee contacts and the answers to some common questions about results, go to:

Special consideration
Where circumstances outside your control prevent you from undertaking or completing an assessment task or
end-of-unit examination at the scheduled time, you may apply for special consideration. If granted, special
consideration will provide the opportunity for you to take additional time to complete the assessment task, or
to complete the task at another time. Applications may only be made on one or more of the following grounds:
an acute medical condition; compassionate reasons; or hardship/trauma. See
www.deakin.edu.au/students/assessments/special-consideration
Academic progress
Academic progress refers to a student's progress towards successful completion of the academic requirements
of the Course in which they are enrolled. Information on academic progress processes, and what to expect if
your progress is unsatisfactory, can be found here:
