PAM1015 Radiographic Anatomy2007-2008Code: PAM1015Title: Radiographic Anatomy Instructors: Ms C.J. Heales CATS credits: 10 ECTS credits: 5 Availability: B821 only Level: 1 Pre-requisites: N/A Co-requisites: N/A Background Assumed: N/A Duration: Weeks 12-20 Directed Study Time: 20 hours Private Study Time: 69 hours Assessment Tasks Time: 11 hours Observation report: Scheduled for 2006/07 KMK AimsThis module aims to enable the students to develop knowledge, understanding and application of biological concepts in the context of contemporary healthcare practice. It draws on established-knowledge from the scientific discipline of anatomy that underpins sound practice in Healthcare. The discussion of anatomy emphasises how it is demonstrated on diagnostic images, and the module concludes with an introduction to life support in the context of healthcare practice. Intended Learning OutcomesStudents should be able to: Module Specific Skills

Learning and Teaching MethodsLectures (14×1hour) and practical work (6 hours). Directed background reading. Students are required to work to weekly deadlines for the completion of homework and must therefore develop appropriate coping strategies. In particular, it will be necessary for them to work consistently through the week and manage their time carefully. Students are encouraged to discuss homework problems with each other. Hence they have the opportunity to work co-operatively and exploit each other as a learning resource.AssignmentsCoursework Exercises (5×2hour). AssessmentFive 2-hour coursework assignments (50%), 30-minute test (20%, week 17), 30-minute test (20%, week 20), six hours of practical work (10%). Syllabus Plan and Content
