Objectives

The aims of the Systematic Anatomy I discipline are:
1. The acquirement of knowledge on the normal morphology of the locomotor system (bones, joints and muscles), central and peripheral nervous system of domestic animals (carnivores, ruminants, equines, swines and lagomorphs).
2. The accurate designation of the anatomical structures according to the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching method includes theoretical classes (a) and practical classes (b), both 2 hours per week.
(a) In the theoretical classes, the systematic exposure of the contents is made using slides and occasionally video projection.
(b) In the practical classes, both observation and description of anatomical structures (bones and skeleton, dissected and fixed joints) previously prepared in the Department of Anatomy are made. Dissection, the main method for studying anatomy, is also performed in cadavers of dogs. Surface and radiographic anatomy are used whenever is considered useful.

Eligibility for exams

The students must attain to at least 3/4 of the practical classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

ATTENDANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
The evaluation consists in Continuous Evaluation (CA) and Final Evaluation (FE).
Continuous Evaluation – 2 points
The students will be individually evaluated during the semester by the teacher responsible by their class. The methodology that will be used is determined by each teacher.
Final Evaluation – 18 points
The Final Evaluation consists in a Practical Evaluation (PE) and a Written Evaluation (WE) to be performed at the Evaluation Periods (regular and/or appeal).
PRACTICAL EVALUATION – 4 points
The Practical Evaluation is composed of 1 anatomical practical test in which a minimal of 2 points is required for approval.
WRITTEN EVALUATION – 14 points
The Written Evaluation will be achieved by performing a single written test composed of 50 multiple choice questions. No minimal points are required.

PREVIOUS ATTENDANCE
The students that have previously attended to the practical classes are not obliged to Continuous Evaluation. In this circumstance, the Final Evaluation will worth 20 points that are distributed as following:
PRACTICAL EVALUATION – 4 points
WRITTEN EVALUATION – 16 points
The same rules and determinations established to the students who are for the first time attending to the Systematic Anatomy subject will be used regarding to the form and minimal points required on both practical and written evaluation.

PARTIAL TESTS
The Final Evaluation can be also achieved by performing 2 partial tests to be performed during the weeks determine by the Educational Board for the realization of the intercalary evaluations. In this case the following rules will be used:
PRACTICAL EVALUATION – will be divided in two anatomical practical tests. Attendance to the 2 tests and a minimal of 2 points in the sum of the 2 practice tests are required for approval. The final practical grade will be obtained by the sum of the points of each written test.
WRITTEN EVALUATION – will be divided in 2 partial written tests (25 multiple choice questions). Each written test will worth 7 / 8 (for students who have previously attendance in the subject) points and a minimal of 3 / 3,4 points (for students who have previously attendance in the subject) in each test is required to be approved. The final written grade will be obtained by the sum of the points of each written test
Note: If a student chooses to attend to the Partial Tests he can also attend to the Final Evaluation of the Regular and/or Appeal Evaluation Periods whenever one of the following situations occur:
a) the minimal of points in each written test is not achieved
b) the minimal 2 points in the sum of the 2 anatomical practical tests is not achieved
b) the sum of the points obtained in the Evaluations components does not reach 9, 5 points.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

The students who will attend to Special Evaluation Periods (working students and / or finalist students) and / or Special Calls (associative leaders and / or overlapping of written tests) will be evaluated by a single oral examination that is worth 20 points.

Classification improvement

The students who wish to improve its former classification will be evaluated by a single Written Test that is worth 20 points, unless they attend to Special Evaluation Periods or Special Calls. In this last case the rules established to these Evaluation Periods will be applied.
