This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Your unit may be subject to government or third party COVID-19 vaccination requirements. Please consider this before enrolling in this unit, and speak with the unit coordinator if this raises any concerns.
This unit concentrates on excitable cell physiology in both the muscular and nervous systems. It focuses upon neurophysiology, control of pyramidal and extrapyramidal systems, and sensory signalling input. Students develop an understanding of muscle physiology by addressing the mechanical properties, structure, energetics and control of muscles and learn about the connection between brain and body. Students learn how to perform diagnostic tests to assess muscle and nerve activity, manual dexterity, vision, hearing and cutaneous sensations and how to collect and analyse clinical data. Current themes in neuroscience and muscle physiology are examined through the scientific literature, with an emphasis on the application of physiology in clinical, scientific and assessment situations.
Students must pass 1 unit from either SCH1134, SCH1143 or MHS1102
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS
| Joondalup | Mount Lawley | South West (Bunbury) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semester 2 | 13 x 3 hour lab | Not Offered | Not Offered |
| Semester 2 | 13 x 1 hour seminar | Not Offered | Not Offered |
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Students will use contemporary clinical and diagnostic tools, such as Electromyography (EMG), Electroencephalography (EEG), Nerve Conduction studies (NCS), Audiometers, Vision, Manual Dexterity, Cutaneous Sensation and Cognitive tests during laboratory sessions. This unit provides recorded lectures and self-paced quizzes to support students with their learning. Laboratory activities provide an opportunity for students to work collaboratively to collect and analyse clinical data, comparing data sets and sharing ideas, to support knowledge development. Students will be assessed on their ability to evaluate current scientific literature, analyse clinical data to solve problems and communicate ideas through written discussion, using scientific terminology correctly and demonstrating academic integrity.
GS1 GRADING SCHEMA 1 Used for standard coursework units
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Due to the professional competency skill development associated with this Unit, student attendance/participation within listed in-class activities and/or online activities including discussion boards is compulsory. Students failing to meet participation standards as outlined in the unit information may be awarded an I Grade (Fail - incomplete). Students who are unable to meet this requirement for medical or other reasons must seek the approval of the unit coordinator.

| Essay | Comparative essay - In depth comparison of two journal articles. | 20% |
| Test | Online tests - based on weekly worksheets | 40% |
| Presentation ^ | Presentation of findings from laboratory work | 20% |

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
