At a tertiary level, which of the following are examples of 'poor quality work'?

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This assessment task relates to ALL of the learning outcomes for Theme 5: Histology lectures & laboratory as follows:

• Gain an understanding of the cellular structure , classification, and function of the four primary tissue types (functional histology):

• Be able to identify key structures in light- and electron-micrographs

  • Epithelium
  • Connective tissue
  • Muscle
  • Nervous

• Outline how the 4 primary tissue types combine to form organs and a complete organism.
• Describe how the function of the small intestine is related to the tissue and cell types of which it is composed
• Demonstrate laboratory skills including using light microscopy to investigate a mammalian histological specimen

TASK

Your task is to make a 4-minute video recording of you navigating a virtual slide of mammalian duodenum

What to include:

General Requirements:

• You must use the virtual slide provided in the link above (DUODENUM) (or you will receive 0)
• You should use whichever magnification best details what you are trying to show - eg we recommend at least 10% magnification and 100% magnification 

• Some students may prefer to take snapshots and annotate these, and create a video using multiple of these OR some students may like to record "live" video zooming in and out of the virtual slide - either way is acceptable

• 4 mins +/- 10% (you can go under 4 min if you want, just not over 4:24min)

• Audio and video must be included (we suggest zoom recording while sharing your screen)
• You MUST APPEAR  appear live for the duration of your video (eg you can record yourself via zoom where your face is in the video)
• References are not required for this video task - use the available resources on the resources page of this assessment task
• Labels can be included only if you wish (however students MUST use a mouse or pointer when describing everything in table above)
• Convert file to mp4 or upload via Panopto

To obtain 7 marks allocated for meeting the general requirements of this task, your video will need to be within the stated time limit, be live and present for the duration of the video & include audio AND video  7 marks
