Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:. Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs. Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide. The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience.
Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching SELT surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews. SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes.
Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources e. In addition aggregated course SELT data is available. This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.

Biology for Nursing Practice provides a significant depth and detail to the anatomical and physiological knowledge base for beginning level nursing students. The course provides a systematic approach to cell; tissue and organ function and provides working examples of how nurses use biology to inform practice. The base of knowledge provided by this course will encourage students to adopt an attitude to incorporating scientific concepts throughout their nursing career and especially in relation to the nursing assessment.
Open All. Nurs students only Course Description Biology for Nursing Practice provides a significant depth and detail to the anatomical and physiological knowledge base for beginning level nursing students. Course Learning Outcomes 1 Demonstrate a basic level of knowledge of the structure of the human body at both the microscopic and macroscopic levels of organisation.
Online materials Links to lecture notes, activities and videos to support learning will be provided for each week in course modules, The Echo library for the course contains corresponding recordings. Weekly tutorial worksheets are via the modules in your course via MyUni. In particular students will undertake online learning using the Articulate Storyline Software, complete online assignments through MyUni, submit assignments online, and participate in discussion boards and blogs. Links will be provided throughout the semester.
The plagiarism software TurnItin will be used throughout courses within the Bachelor of Nursing. COrresponding recordings are available via the Echo library for the Course. This content is examinable and will assist to clarify complex descriptions and terminology. Much of the content for this course is supported by textbooks with web page and e-learning supports.
The School of Nursing supports the audio and video capture of lecture content as an aid to revision. In these courses the major systems of the human body are taught, including the urinary, digestive, skeletal, reproductive, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous systems, as well as other relevant topics such as Genetics and Immunology. In addition to Anatomy and Physiology, depending on their specialization, nursing students are later required to take other Biology courses such as Medical Microbiology and Pathophysiology which serve to equip students with a sound understanding of the pathological basis of many different diseases.
There is no end to how much can be learned about biology and the human body. It seems apparent that the role of nurses as healthcare providers would require a deep appreciation of life and a solid understanding of how living things like the human body work.
Our response to this question is two-fold: firstly, knowing Biology even at a basic level can contribute to rational decisions about patient management and allow for quick and appropriate responses to emergencies.
These responses, from nurses who are grounded in a firm knowledge of Biology, contribute to the well-being of patients and their families. In recent years there has been considerable emphasis on the social and behavioural sciences in the nursing curriculum, with a corresponding tendency to devalue the role of the biological sciences.
This paper argues the case for the biological sciences as being essential to the development of 'intelligent practitioners' and the progress of nursing. The notion of 'intelligent practice' is discussed against the background of a historical perspective which seeks to present a brief comparison of the traditional expectations of nursing practice with those for practice in the future.
