This course is designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of anatomy and physiology as each relates to physical education and sports performance. The course develops an understanding of the structure and function of the human body, and how systems interact to maintain homeostasis.
Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology enables students to learn about the structure and function of the human body through weekly lectures, and lab and tutorial experiences. This very practical course will equip students to understand the basic structure and functions of organ systems of particular interest to human movement for sport and exercise participation, including- Bones, muscles and joints- Nervous system- Cardiovascular system- Respiratory systemLearning is supported through teaching sessions recorded through ECHO360, online video conferencing, worksheets, weekly online quizzes, and drop-in and email support from the course lecturer. The course text provides a rich online environment with videos, adaptive quizzes (questions get harder or easier based on your performance), learning activities and plentiful other multimedia support.
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:1. Identify the levels of organisation in the body2. Describe the structure and function of cells3. Explain the concept of homeostasis and the function of homeostatic control mechanisms4. Describe planes, joint & muscle actions using anatomical terminology in human movement contexts5. Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, muscular, and skeletal systems

Ten weekly online quizzes will each contribute 1% towards the final grade, while the rest of the assessment will be comprised of two written tests/exams, each examining one term's worth of course material.

Due to the carefully planned learning progressions within courses and the workshop type nature of most on-campus classes, you are expected to attend all sessions. This will ensure that you do not miss vital information which will allow you to make sense of the course content. If you are going to miss classes you are expected to email the course lecturer, catch up on missed work through classmates, view recordings (if available for the course), readings and other supplementary material provided. In special cases, the course lecturer may provide additional support for you.
Students will be asked to complete course and teacher evaluations, using the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring surveys. Survey responses are conducted electronically and are confidential. The Faculty of Education will conduct regular graduate surveys.
All course assessments in the Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) are internally and externally moderated. A sample of your work may be used as part of this moderation process. Regular examiners meetings monitor the distribution of final grades in courses and adjustments are made if necessary to ensure reasonable consistency and comparability of course grades.
An assessment is late if it is handed in after the due date, without a formal extension. If an assessment is submitted after the due date, 5% will be deducted from the final grade for every day the assessment is late. No assessments will be accepted after a period of 3 days after the due date, unless an extension has been granted.
Students should refer to the Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) Course Handbook and course regulations for further information on course completing assignments and assessment. The Award regulations for the Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) can be found within the UC Calendar. The UC calendar is available online at:http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/publications/calendar.shtml. The specific Award regulations for the degree can be found at: http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/publications/documents/calendar/faculty_of_education.pdf.The College of Education assessment guidelines, which contain specific information regarding the College grading scale, late work, extensions, submission of work, reconsideration of grades, aegrotat procedures, academic integrity, and moderation of assessment can be found at:http://www.education.canterbury.ac.nz/documents/assessment_guidelines_for_students_13.pdfThe specific assessment details for each course, including assessment dates, can be found in the course outline which will be provided by your course lecturer at the start of the course.
All written assessment tasks and presentations must be referenced according to APA convention. (Information relating to APA referencing can be obtained from both the Central and Education Libraries.) Notes on APA referencing can be found at the Library and online. Each assessment submission requires a completed cover sheet (available on-line).
Students who cannot complete assessments by the due date should discuss their situation with the course lecturer and complete the appropriate extension form. Where circumstances are known in advance, the student should discuss these with the course lecturer at least one week days prior to the assessment due date. In circumstances where this is not appropriate, the student should discuss their situation with the course lecturer as soon as possible.
To pass this course you are required to gain an overall average grade of C- (50%) or better across all assessments. No resubmits are available for this course. This assessment procedure applies from 2015 onwards.

Hard Copy Submission for ON Campus StudentsOn campus students assignments are to be submitted with a cover sheet to the School of Sport & Physical Education office, (behind the Rec Centre) by 5.00pm, or time directed by course lecturer, on or before the due date. Please use the drop box placed at the entrance to School office.Marked assignments will be returned directly from the lecturer. Electronic Submission via LEARN (all on campus and distance students)All students must submit their assessment via the online assessment system in the Learn (Moodle) class site, on or before the due date.
