Assessment Strategy
The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to
demonstrate; knowledge of normal anatomy and physiology and application of that
knowledge to their own clinical practice setting
Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of:
Two part examination;
Paper 1: 50 Multiple Choice Questions
Paper 2: Long answer applied questions required to answer 2 questions
From a choice of 11
Formative assessment
Students will receive formative feedback via:
• A mock examination followed by an opportunity to discuss the concepts within each answer
• Action learning sets in practice
Module aims
- Explore the significance of normal homeostatic mechanisms
Deepen the student’s knowledge and understanding of normal physiology- Relate this knowledge and understanding to their clinical skills and altered health states experienced by their clients in practice settings.
Learning outcomes
| Attributes Developed | ||
| 001 | • Identify normal physiology and relate this to practice through the identification of how normal physiological mechanisms are affected in altered health status | K |
| 002 | • Identify normal physiological mechanisms in humans, \using a systematic approach | K |
| 003 | • Identify alterations to physiological mechanisms in altered health states | K |
Attributes Developed
C - Cognitive/analytical
K - Subject knowledge

P - Professional/Practical skills
Methods of Teaching / Learning
The learning and teaching strategy is designed to:
• Develop knowledge
• Link knowledge to practice
• Encourage application of knowledge and practice
The learning and teaching methods include:
• Self –directed study through SurreyLearn activities
Lectures and applied activities – 36 hrs
Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
