Additional Course Information

Ethical behaviour and human remains

In this course, you will be required to study human anatomical specimens. Each year, people
donate their bodies to UNSW via a Bequeathal Program so that you and your colleagues can
learn about the human body. The donations are provided through the extraordinary generosity of
the donors and their families and is a special privilege. Treating these remains with the utmost
care and respect is mandatory, and our responsibility. This is mandated by NSW Law, and a good
ethical practice. The University operates the Bequeathal Program under the Code of Practice
noted below, which all students are required to adhere to.

Code of Practice: The University recognises the magnitude of the contribution made by those who
donate their bodies for the teaching of anatomy, and it is committed to treating the human remains
entrusted to its care with the utmost respect and professionalism. In keeping with this commitment,
the University requires its employees and students to uphold all legal, public health, and ethical
standards associated with the handling of bodies and human tissue samples. Any activity which
undermines its ability to meet UNSW’s legislative obligations, or which devalues the contribution
made by those who donate their bodies for the purposes of the teaching of anatomy to students
will be in breach of this policy and subject to further action.

For those engaging in the online space (learning and teaching), the University considers that the
Code of Practice remains relevant. The use of images of anatomical specimens should follow
principles consistent with the Anatomy Act 1977 and/or Human Tissue Act 1983. When images
are used online, these should never be identifiable, caricatured and shared for any purpose other
than educational; and should not be published on social media platforms.

Throughout your time studying at UNSW Medicine & Health, you share a responsibility with us for
maintaining a safe, harmonious and tolerant University environment. This includes within the
courses you undertake during your degree and your interactions with the UNSW community, both
on campus and online.

The UNSW Student Code of Conduct website provides a framework for the standard of conduct
expected of UNSW students with respect to both academic integrity and your responsibility as a
UNSW citizen.

Where the University believes a student may have breached the code, the University may take
disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Misconduct Procedure. The Student Conduct
and Integrity Office provides further resources to assist you to understand your conduct
obligations as a student at UNSW.

Academic Honesty and Plagarism

Academic integrity

UNSW has an ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of learning informed by academic

ANAT2111 Introductory Anatomy - 2025 Printed: 2/6/2025 | 14 of 20

integrity. All UNSW staff and students have a responsibility to adhere to the principle of
academic integrity, and ethical scholarship of learning is fundamental to your success at UNSW
Medicine & Health.

Plagiarism, contract cheating, and inappropriate use of generative AI undermine academic

integrity and are not tolerated at UNSW. For more information see the Academic Integrity and
Plagiarism toolkit.

In addition to the information you are required to review in your ELISE training, UNSW Medicine &
Health strongly recommends that you complete the Academic Integrity Quest module before
submitting your first assessment task.

Referencing

Referencing is a way of acknowledging the sources of information that you use to research your
assignments. Preferred referencing styles vary among UNSW Medicine & Health disciplines, so
check your course Learning Management System (e.g. Moodle or Open Learning) page for
information on preferred referencing styles.

For further information on referencing support and styles, see the Current Student Referencing
page.

Academic misconduct and plagiarism

At UNSW, academic misconduct is managed in accordance with the Student Misconduct

Procedure. Allegations of plagiarism are generally handled according to the UNSW Plagiarism
Policy and procedure and is not tolerated at UNSW.

Use of Generative AI and other tools in your assessment

UNSW has provided guiding statements for the use of Generative AI in assessments. This will
differ, depending on the individual assessment task, your course requirements, and the course
stage within your program.

Your course convenor will outline if and how you can use Generative AI in each your assessment
tasks. Inappropriate use of generative AI is considered academic misconduct.

Options for the use of generative AI include: (1) no assistance; (2) simple editing assistance; (3)
planning/design assistance; (4) assistance with attribution; (5) Generative AI software-based

ANAT2111 Introductory Anatomy - 2025 Printed: 2/6/2025 | 15 of 20

assessments; and Not applicable. See your individual assessment descriptions for the level of
permitted use of generative AI for each task and see your course Moodle (or Open Learning)
page for the full instructions on permitted use of generative AI in your assessment tasks for this
course.

Instructions may include a requirement to submit the original generative AI responses, or drafts
of your original work, or provide these on request.

Submission of Assessment Tasks

Short extensions and special consideration

Short extension

UNSW has a short extension procedure for submission of assessment tasks. Not all tasks are
eligible, and eligible tasks have a predetermined extension length. UNSW Medicine and Health
have set School-level extension lengths for eligible assessment tasks. See your course
assessment descriptions for more information.

Students must check the availability of a short extension in the individual assessment task
information for their courses.

Short extensions do not require supporting documentation. They must be submitted through
Special Consideration before the assessment task deadline. No late applications will be
accepted.

Late penalties apply to submission of assessment tasks without approved extension.

Special consideration

In cases where short term events beyond your control affect your performance in a specific
assessment task you may formally apply for Special Consideration through myUNSW.

UNSW has a Fit to Sit rule, which means that by sitting an examination on the scheduled date,
you are declaring that you are fit to do so and cannot later apply for Special Consideration.
Examinations include centrally timetabled examinations and scheduled, timed examinations and
tests managed by your School.

Important information relating to Short Extension and Special Consideration is available here,
including eligibility for Special Consideration, circumstances where students with Equitable

ANAT2111 Introductory Anatomy - 2025 Printed: 2/6/2025 | 16 of 20

Learning Plans can apply for Short Extensions and Special Consideration, and the appeals
process.

Examinations

Information about the conduct of examinations in your course is provided on your course Moodle
page.

Timed online assessment tasks

If you experience a technical or connection problem during a timed online assessment, such as a
timed quiz, you can apply for Special Consideration. To be eligible to apply you need to contact
the Course Convenor and advise them of the issue immediately. You will need to submit an
application for Special Consideration immediately, and upload screenshots, error messages or
other evidence of the technical issue as supporting documentation. Additional information can
be found here.

Other assessment tasks

Late submission of assessment tasks

UNSW has standard late submission penalties as outlined in the UNSW Assessment
Implementation Procedure, with no permitted variation.

All late assignments (unless extension or exemption previously agreed) will be penalised by 5%
of the maximum mark per calendar day (including Saturday, Sunday and public holidays).

Late submissions penalties are capped at five calendar days (120 hours). This means that a
student is not permitted to submit an assessment more than 5 calendar days (120 hours) after
the due date for that assessment (unless extension or exemption previously agreed).

Failure to complete an assessment task

You are expected to complete all assessment tasks for your courses. In some courses, there will
be a minimum pass mark required on a specific assessment task (a “hurdle task”) due to the
need to assure a clinical competency is met. Where a hurdle task is applicable, additional
information is provided in the assessment information on your course Moodle page.

Feedback on assessments

ANAT2111 Introductory Anatomy - 2025 Printed: 2/6/2025 | 17 of 20

Feedback on your performance in assessment tasks will be provided to you in a timely manner.
For assessment tasks completed within the teaching period of a course, other than a final
assessment, feedback will be provided within 10 working days of submission, under normal
circumstances.

Feedback on continuous assessment tasks (e.g. laboratory and studio-based, workplace-based,

weekly quizzes) will generally be provided prior to the midpoint of the course.

Any variation from the above information that is specific to an assessment task will be clearly
indicated in the course and assessment information provided to you on your course Moodle (or
Open Learning) page.

Course evaluation and development

At UNSW Medicine & Health, students take an active role in designing their courses and their
overall student experience. We regularly seek feedback from students, and continuous
improvements are made based on your input. Towards the end of the term, you will be asked to
participate in the myExperience survey, which serves as a source of evaluative feedback from
students. Your input to this quality enhancement process is valuable in helping us meet your
learning needs and deliver an effective and enriching learning experience. Student responses are
carefully considered, and the action taken to enhance educational quality is documented in the
myFeedback Matters section of your Moodle (or Open Learning) course page
