FYB1100 Anatomy and Physiology - I Course description

The teaching consists of lectures and seminars. See the programme description for further details.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• The student must give a presentation lasting 15-30 minutes (individually or as part of a group) of an article, chapter in a book etc. at a plenary session during the course.
• 80 % attendance requirement (see the programme description for more information)

The purpose of the oral presentation is to encourage students to engage in more oral activity and improve their oral presentation skills, and to present the academic content to a live audience in an organised and effective manner. The oral presentation is intended to help the student to acquire the skills specified in the learning outcomes for the course.

The course is assessed on the basis of an individual written home exam over seven days, with a scope of 3,500 words +/- 10 %.

Resit/rescheduled exam:

Resit/rescheduled exam is organised in the same way as the ordinary exam.

Examination support material is permitted for the home exam.

Letter grades ranging from A to F are used, with A being the highest grade and E the poorest pass grade, and F being a fail grade.

The exam is assessed by one internal and one external examiner.

The course deals with important theories and concepts concerning inequality and power in developing countries, and theoretical analyses of processes that create, change and maintain inequality. Particular emphasis is placed on how power affects distribution through relations of class, gender, ethnicity, race, patron-client relationships and political-economic organisation.

Grade scale A-F.

All answers are reviewed by one examiner.

An external examiner is regularly involved in the design of assignment sets and assessment criteria, at least every third completion of the course.

10 credits overlap with FYSIO1100 and MENDI1100.
