17. COURSE GOAL AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

18. The principal goal of the course is for students to acquire a sound knowledge of the gross anatomy of the head and neck.

19. APPROACHES USED TO ACHIEVE COURSE GOAL Lectures Laboratory Dissection Case Studies

20. LECTURES Will provide a thorough, well-organized treatment of the anatomy of a particular region (a list of learning objectives precedes each lecture outline in the syllabus) Important anatomical facts and concepts will be covered All lectures are in Room C, and will last ~ 50 minutes

25. CASE STUDIES (Group Discussions) (Groups A & B) Purpose is to help students understand the relevance of anatomy to their future clinical practice

26. ATTENDANCE POLICY

27. Students are expected to attend ALL lectures, labs and case studies Active participation in the lab (engaging in the dissection process) is ESSENTIAL for every student

28. EXAMS & GRADES

31. GRADING SCALE (%) A = > 90 B = 80 - 89 C = 70 - 79 F = < 70

32. COMPETENCY EXAM Students who earn a grade of 60 – 69 in the course will be allowed to take a competency exam. This exam will be comprehensive and will include both a lab and a written component. If a student earns a grade of > 70 on this exam, he/she will receive the lowest possible passing grade for the course (ie, 70 = C).

33. REMEDIATION POLICY

34. In the event that a student receives a grade of F for the course, he/she will be required to take a remedial course in head and neck gross anatomy during the summer.

35. COURSE EVALUATION

36. ANATOMY STUDY TIPS

37. Anatomy is a visual science. Try to visualize your cadaver dissection and use an atlas when studying notes at home. Try to put the anatomical information you learn in a clinical context (eg, what would be the deficits if this nerve were cut, or this artery ligated?) Periodically use a systemic approach to studying anatomy (eg, review all of the branches of the trigeminal nerve) Study with a group (eg, review lab dissections with classmates) Focus attention on the nervous system Keep up with dissections and study lecture notes daily
