Overview
Module aims and purpose
This module aims to consolidate learning from across the programme so far by bringing together and applying concepts in anatomy & physiology to selected pathologies to deepen understanding of how the body works and how it can become unhealthy.聽
The module aims to use an integrated and case-based learning approach to apply anatomy and physiology to pathology whilst also expanding research and study skills preparing students for further learning on pathology and their research projects in the future.聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Acquire and apply knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms of selected pathologies
- Acquire, select and appraise appropriate scientific resources to research pathology topics
- Assimilate multiple sources and resources to communicate information
- Develop understanding of the clinical impact of selected pathologies聽
Module content
This module brings together anatomy and physiology, study and research skills to understanding the development, management and treatment of selected pathologies.聽
This module will expand from the understanding of the healthy body to provide detailed discussions of the development of selected pathologies. The module will focus on key relevant pathologies with great impacts on human health and healthcare (e.g. cancer and neurodegenerative disease), giving students in-depth knowledge of these selected pathologies. The module will use a聽pathophysiological approach to discuss how healthy cells, tissues and organs become diseased, and the mechanisms of disease development. This provides opportunity for students to apply their knowledge of a healthy body to pathology and ultimately the impact this will have on patients. Clinical case-based sessions will focus on application of pathological processes to patients in the clinic, and how clinicians diagnose, treat and manage pathologies. The module will make use of the Anatomage 3D anatomy table, where students will explore the 3-dimensional nature of disease.
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
This module will utilise various methods of learning (e.g. lecture, workshops, Anatomage sessions, case-based learning) to support understanding and discussion of the core content.聽聽
Supplementary information and reading lists will be provided by the lecturers and the available facilities for computer-aided literature searching for related material will enable students to improve independent-learning skills.聽
Study hours
At least 30 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

Assessment
Requirements for a pass
Students need to achieve an overall module mark of 40% to pass this module.
Summative assessment
Type of assessment | Detail of assessment | % contribution towards module mark | Size of assessment | Submission date | Additional information |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Written coursework assignment | Individual written report | 50 | 1,500 words | Semester 2, May | |
In-person written examination | Exam | 50 | 2 hours | Semester 2, Assessment Period |
Penalties for late submission of summative assessment
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
Assessments with numerical marks
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of three working days;
- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
Assessments marked Pass/Fail
- where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): a grade of Fail will be awarded.
The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/qap/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.
Students will have various seminars throughout the module with activities designed to allow formative feedback and discussion on coursework and exam material.聽
Reassessment
Type of reassessment | Detail of reassessment | % contribution towards module mark | Size of reassessment | Submission date | Additional information |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Written coursework assignment | Individual written report | 50 | During the University resit period | Resubmission of coursework | |
In-person written examination | Exam | 50 | During the University resit period |
