Critical Performance
By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the 
ability to apply the identified anatomical structures of the upper 
and lower extremity to their functional movement and activity. 
   
Learning Outcomes
To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated 
the ability to: 
1. Communicate using functional anatomy terminology.
2. Describe the structure and function of bones and bony prominences.
3. Identify the attachments, and function of the primary inert  
   structures that comprise each peripheral joint.
4. Identify the nerve supply of selected muscles. 
5. Identify the structures of the upper and lower extremity in order 
   to realize their importance in terms of function and potential 
   pathology.
6. Identify the structures of the upper and lower extremity in order 
   to realize their importance to movement and activity.
7. Palpate the attachments of the primary inert structures that 
   comprise each peripheral joint.
8. Identify the function of the muscle groups in the upper and lower 
   extremity.
9. Palpate the muscle groups in the upper and lower extremity.
10.Palpate bony prominences of the upper and lower extremity.
 

Midterm Written	        20% 
Midterm Practical	20% 
Final Written     	25% 
Final Practical   	25% 
Assignments (2) 	10%
Total	               100%

The final grade will be a combined total of the written mark and the 
practical mark. A passing grade in both is required in order to 
successfully complete the course. 

Attendance is expected at all planned classes and experiences. 
Extended absenteeism may be cause for review by the faculty. Specific 
circumstances not withstanding, field placements should not interfere 
with classroom attendance. Lab dress must include shorts, T-shirt or 
halter-top, shoes and socks. Students should change for every 
practical class unless informed ahead of time.


TEST AND ASSIGNMENT PROTOCOL  
 
To encourage behaviours that will help students to be successful in 
the workplace and to ensure that students receive credit for their 
individual work, the following rules apply to every course offered 
within the Faculty of Applied Health & Community Studies.  
            
1. Students are responsible for staying abreast of test dates and 
   times, as well as due dates and any special instructions for 
   submitting assignments and projects as supplied to the class by the 
   professor.
2. Students must write all tests at the specified times. Missed tests,  
in-class activities, assignments and presentations are awarded a mark 
of zero.  If an extension or make-up opportunity is approved by the 
professor as outlined below, the mark of zero may be revised by 
subsequent performance.  The penalty for late submission of written 
assignments is a loss of 10% per day for up to five business days 
(excluding weekends and statutory holidays), after which, a grade of 
zero is assigned. Business days include any day that the college is 
open for business, whether the student has scheduled classes that day 
or not.  
3. Students who miss a test or in-class activity or assignment or 
   fail to submit an assignment on time due to exceptional 
   circumstances are required to notify their professor in advance 
   of the class whenever possible.  A make-up test may be supplied 
   for students who provide an acceptable explanation of their 
   absence and/or acceptable documentation explaining their absence 
   (e.g., a medical certificate). All make-up tests are to be
   written at a time and place agreed to  by the professor and the
   student upon the student's return. Alternately, students may be
   given an opportunity to earn the associated marks by having a
   subsequent test count for the additional marks. Similarly, 
   exceptional circumstances may result in a modification of due 
   dates for assignments.
4. Unless otherwise specified, assignments and projects must be 
   submitted at the beginning of class. 
5. Students must complete every assignment as an individual effort      
   unless, the professor specifies otherwise.
6. Since there may be instances of grade appeal or questions regarding 
   the timely completion of assignments and/or extent of individual 
   effort, etc., students are strongly advised to keep, and make 
   available to their professor, if requested, a copy of all 
   assignments and working notes until the course grade has been 
   finalized.  
7. There will be no resubmission of work unless this has been 
   previously agreed to or suggested by the professor. 
8. Students must submit all assignments in courses with practical lab 
   and field components in order to pass the course.
