Synopsis
This unit will adopt a systematic approach to the study of pathology. Organ systems will be
addressed in turn including the important diseases in each. These will include ischaemic heart
disease, diabetes, obesity, stroke, leukaemia, carcinomas of the breast, lung and colon,
inflammatory diseases of the lung, kidney and liver, and sexually transmitted diseases. The
aetiology, clinical presentation, treatment and course of the diseases will be discussed. Particular
emphasis will be placed on molecular and genetic aspects of disease pathogenesis. Laboratory
investigations will be presented to provide an integrated approach to the diagnosis of specific
diseases.
Mode of delivery
Clayton (Day)
Workload requirements
Two 1-hour lectures and one 2-hour practical class per week
HUP3022 is a 6 credit point unit. As such, Monash guidelines stipulate requires that a 6 point unit
requires 12 hours of work per week in varying combinations of formal course contact, practical and
/or group activities and private study. Formal contact hours are composed of 2 one-hour lecturers
and one 2 hour workshop/practical class each week. A guideline for the remainder of time
dedicated to this unit would be as follows:
2 hours of preparation and review of lecture material each week.

2 hours of preparation for practical workshops each week.
4 hours of private study per week.
*As Monash University tertiary students entering third year, a level of self-directed learning is
expected. You are encouraged to read beyond lecture notes and seek out further material to
enhance your learning in human pathology.

Teaching approach
Lecture and tutorials or problem classes seminars
There will be two 1-hour lectures per week.
Lecture 1: Thu 8-9am Lecture theatre R2 (CL_46Exh)

Lecture 2: Fri 10-11am Lecture theatre R2 (CL_46Exh)
For details on specific lecture topics, refer to the Unit schedule' . If you wish to review the lecture,
you can access the audio content of lectures at Monash Lectures Online (MULO), through the new
EchoSystem online lecture technology. Go to EchoSystem recordings link displayed on your
Monash University Lectures Online unit webpage. Lecture notes will also be available online on
the unit website which can be accessed from your My Monash Portal.
Note: Listening to the lecture on-line does not replace attendance at the lecture; it enables review
and reinforcement of lecture material.
Laboratory-based classes
In addition to the two lectures, there will be a 2-hour tutorial/practical session each week. Practical
workshops will be held in CL_10Chn/CG63 Histology laboratory (Building 13C) (There is a
possibility of having another session atCL_11Chn/G03 Immunology laboratory, if the class size is
big).These sessions, devised to reinforce course content, will be split into tutorial based learning
and practical based learning. The sessions will be comprised of tutorials, case studies, group
demonstrations, slide and anatomical specimen viewing, and hands-on exercises. Students will be
provided with tutorial notes (including questions and suggestions for information collection). This
will serve as a guide allowing students to collect relevant information to facilitate the completion of
the questions at the end of the class.
Tutorial/Practical Workshop:
Tuesday 2-4pm Histology laboratory CL_10Chn/CG63
Ifthe class size is big, we will have another session on:

Tuesday 10am-12pm Immunology laboratory CL_11Chn/G03
For each session, students will be required to complete and submit an activity sheet at the end of
the practical class. These will be handed back to students the following week. Students will also
be required to complete Self Directed Learning (SDL) tasks for each practical/tutorial. Students
will participate in a 1 hour Practical test at the end of semester.These activity sheets, SDLs and
the test will count towards 20% of your overall mark.

Assessment requirements
Students are required to note the Facultys assessment policy (item 1.2.1) regarding threshold standards at:
http://www.med.monash.edu.au/policies/assessment-policy.html
Students are required to refer to the University Academic Integrity policy and procedure at:
http://www.policy.monash.edu.au/policy-bank/academic/education/conduct/student-academic-integrity-policy.html
The procedures state that:
Proofreading: The process of identifying errors and suggesting corrections to a text. This must not involve rewriting passages of text in
order to clarify meaning; amending the words used by the author (except to identify the correct spelling of the word used); rearranging
passages of text or code, or reformatting other material; contributing additional material to the original; and checking calculations or
formulae.
Academic Integrity and Technology
In line with the Acceptable Use of Information Technology Facilities by Students Procedures, students are not permitted to use
Information and Communications Technology facilities to sell, purchase or offer to write assignments or other assessable work, or to
request help with such work. Furthermore, students are required to take steps to minimise opportunities for others to cheat by, for
example, not saving work to a shared network drive that is accessible by others and not sharing work on social media sites. Failure to
comply with these requirements may result in disciplinary action under Part 7 of the Monash University (Council) Regulations for
collusion or general misconduct, as appropriate in the circumstances.
Students should be aware that the University will monitor and act on information received about the use of cheat sites, paper mills and
other online resources that promote dishonest academic conduct. If a student has been found to have used any of these sources to
breach the Student Academic Integrity Policy, the University will pursue the matter in accordance with Part 7 of the Monash University
(Council) Regulations.
Participation
Participation is compulsory in all practical and tutorial classes. Failure to attend will result in a mark of 0 for the missed session unless
special consideration has been submitted and approved by the Unit Coordinator.

Assessment title:2. Critical Analysis of the Literature Assignment

Apply analytical and interpretive skills through review and critical analysis of the literature. Compile a critical report on a chosen
topic related to human disease.
Details of task:Students must complete a written assignment on a topic of their choice from the list provided. These topics can be found
on Moodle. This task will involve a critical analysis of two papers.
The assignment is designed as an introduction to scientific investigation and writing.
This is an important skill that will be required for many (if not all) career paths in the fields of Medicine and Science.
Approximately ~10 topics will be provided in Week 1, each with 3 associated journal articles. You will be required to select and
critically appraise 2 articles from the 3 provided. Note: sign-up lists for each topic will be made available on Moodle in Week 1.
Students are advised to sign up early to avoid missing out on their first topic preference.
You will be required to write a brief literature review style introduction to introduce your area of investigation (Approx. 300-400
words).
This will be followed by a critical appraisal of both of your journal articles and a discussion on whether the findings in the two
papers conflict or complement each other. Where there are differences, suggest possible reasons and further experiments which
could be performed to resolve these differences (Approx. 1500 words).
Your assignment will be completed with a conclusion, succinctly summarizing the new findings in your selected papers, unresolved
questions and the biological and/or clinical significance of this area of research (Approx. 100-200 words).
Your bibliography should reference all the articles (approximately 20) which you have cited in your introduction and conclusions as
well as your selected articles. Referencing should be in Nature Medicine style.
This assignment is designed to develop your skills in numerous areas, including the use of computers to access the scientific/medical
literature, critical analysis and review of the literature and specific research articles, as well as the ability to write a coherent summary of
your findings. For this assignment, keep in mind that scientific writing is very different from essay writing. Scientific writing is evidencebased, with no place for long dissertations, opinions or assertions. The findings of papers should be given concisely, with the relevant
16
based, with no place for long dissertations, opinions or assertions. The findings of papers should be given concisely, with the relevant
references.
General Guidelines
The assignment should be 2000 words. Original references and review articles should be cited in your introduction and conclusions.
Internet addresses/web pages are not acceptable as references. Cite references in the text by number according to the order of citation,
and format the reference list at the end of the assignment in numerical order according to the format used for Nature Medicine. Your
assignment must be written with a word processing program on computer and submitted online through Moodle site for the HUP3022
unit. Please do not submit assignments by email. You must retain the original work on disc as you may be asked to send further copies
to the Department. Please run a spell check before submitting. Please note that summarising each paper separately and then
comparing them in the final paragraph is not sufficient.

If the assessment/plagiarism/collusion declaration is being used within Moodle for an assessment
item a separate assignment coversheet is not required.
Please keep a copy of tasks completed for your records.
Hard copy submission: Where hard copy submission is necessary, assignments must includea
cover sheet. The cover sheet is accessible via the Monash portal page located at http://my.
monash.edu under the heading "Learning and Teaching tools". Please keep a copy of tasks
completed for your records.
Returning assignments
Assignments will be returned to students as detailed in class. After this class the number grade will
be entered onto Moodle.
Resubmission of assignments
Faculty policyhttp://www.med.monash.edu.au/policies/assessmentr.html
Under no circumstance can assignments be resubmitted after the due date.

21

http://www.med.monash.edu.au/policies/assessmentl.html
The due date for the submission of the assignment is given in the Assessments section (see
timetable). Please make every effort to submit your work by the due date. Students are advised to
NOT assume that granting of an extension is a matter of course.
If you need an extension for any of the in-semester assignments, Faculty regulations require you
to submit a written request to the Unit coordinator 48-hours within the due time and date (other
lecturers cannot grant extensions for work submitted in this unit), and attach supportive evidence
such as medical certificate or letter from work place superior. The appropriate pro-forma is
available at: http://www.monash.edu/exams/assets/docs/in-semester.pdf
The form should preferably be forwarded as an email attachment, sent from your university email
address with your name typed in lieu of signature.
Faculty regulations require that the Unit coordinator will indicate at the time of granting the
extension whether any penalty in marks will apply to the submitted work. If an extension is
granted, the approval must be attached to the assignment.
Late assignments
Late assignments are to be submitted through the Moodle site. Submissions after the due date
(see timetable) will incur a penalty.
Assessment tasks that are submitted after the due date and without an agreed extension from Unit
coordinator, will be penalised by 10% per day (including weekends and public holidays).

Feedback to you
http://www.med.monash.edu.au/policies/assessmentf.html
For each assessment task, you will be provided with graphs that demonstrate the class average
for each assessment task.
Informal feedback
You can gain an indication of how you are coping with HUP3022 course work by revising your
lecture notes and any other reference material provided during the course of the semester, and
determining how confident you feel in your understanding of lecture material.
If you encounter any difficulties in your understanding of any aspects of the lecture or practical
workshop material, you can contact your lecturers or workshop conveners by e-mail, or
alternatively you can discuss any issues directly with the teaching staff either before or after class.
You may also seek assistance from your peers by posting a question on Moodle. This can directed
to you other students, or also directed to the teaching staff.
Formative feedback from your peers
You can obtain peer feedback by using your Discussion Board. You can use the discussion
function to pose any question that you want to discuss with your fellows students.
Teaching staff will not view or post responses on this site, and it is not linked to formal assessment.
This site is for you to work through questions with your peers.
If you do use this site, we will expect that you use good internet etiquette:
Do not post time-wasting or frivolous messages

No rude or insulting remarks to other students (or about staff)
Be careful about the tone of voice you use.
Feedback from your demonstrators and other teaching staff
In order to discuss any questions you may have about course content, you can contact your
lecturers by e-mail, or alternatively approach them before or after lectures.
23
During your practical workshop session, the class convenors are available to discuss any
questions you may have. In some cases, class convenors will bring along one or more colleagues
with expertise in the topic under consideration. These experts have been provided to assist the
class convenor and demonstrators, and will be available for your questions and further discussion.
You should also ask questions and discuss workshop content with your demonstrator. Please keep
in mind that Human Pathology is a very broad topic, and your demonstrator will hold expertise in
one aspect of human pathology (not all). It is therefore unreasonable to expect that he or she can
answer all your questions. If necessary, your demonstrator will seek further clarification from the
class convenor in order to better answer your questions.
Your attendance, preparation and completion of assessment sheets will contribute to your final
mark. Therefore, feedback from your demonstrator will provide both formative (discussing how you
are developing your skills) and summative assessment (formal marks).
Feedback for your summative assessment tasks
MCQ:
The mid-semester multiple choice question test is a summative assessment, that will allow you to
determine your understanding of course content mid-way through the semester. For this test, you
will receive a grade to indicate how well you have succeeded in the test (HD: high distinction; D:
distinction; C: credit; P: pass). This assessment task constitutes 15% of your overall grade for the
semester.
Given that this test requires you select the correct answer from a number of choices, it does not
give an idea of the reasoning you used to decide on your final answers. If you require further
feedback on how to improve your performance following the test, you should contact the unitcoordinator, who will be able to provide you with feedback on the areas and subject themes for
which you performed poorly.
Practical workshop assessment:
Practical workshop activity sheets, student directed learning (SDL) assessment and computer
based assessment in tutorial sessions constitute a continuing form of assessment throughout the
entire semester, allowing you to track your progress on a weekly basis. These assessments
require you to answer several questions regarding the practical and tutorial workshop content in a
given week, and must be completed either prior to class (for SDL) or during the workshop session
(activity sheets). At the practical sessions, the activity sheets will be handed in to your
demonstrator at the end of each session. They will be returned to you the following week with
individual feedback in the form of a mark(0 (incomplete) or 2.5 (partially complete) and 5
(complete))and comments including an indication of areas for improvement.
Tutorial marks will be released after the session is complete and will be available through Moodle.
Taken together, this form of assessment constitutes 20% of your overall grade for the semester.

Taken together, this form of assessment constitutes 20% of your overall grade for the semester.
Students should avoid copying answers from their peers. If you have any queries about any
questions on the assessment sheet, talk to you demonstrator or the prac convenor. Demonstrators
have been instructed to deduct marks for copying.
Assignment:
This assessment task will examine how well you are able to interpret scientific papers, and
communicate their major findings. In addition to describing scientific findings, you will be required
to compare and contrast findings from 2 different papers on a given topic, and exhibit critical
analysis on the scientific data to the best of your ability.
For this assessment task, you will receive individual feedback in the form of a mark as well as
comments on the areas in which you performed well, in addition to those that require improvement.
This assessment task constitutes 15% of your overall grade for the semester.
Final Exam:
This assessment task allows you to demonstrate the knowledge you have obtained throughout the
entire semester. You will be required to answer 60 MCQ and 5 short answer questions. For this
final exam, you will receive a grade to indicate how well you have succeeded in the test (HD: high
distinction; D: distinction; C: credit; P: pass). This assessment task constitutes 50% of your overall
grade for the semester.

Unit Prizes
Mark Barnett Memorial Award
Medal together with $500.00 cash will be awarded to the student with highest mark across both
semesters of Human Pathology (HUP and HUP3022). This award is in memory of the
outstanding contribution made by the late Dr. Mark Barnett to the teaching of General Pathology in
the formerly named Department of Pathology and Immunology
Barry Firkin Prize
A Certificate together with a $100 Monash University book voucher will be awarded to the student
who submits the best assignment. Assignments will be judged by a panel comprising the Unit
coordinator and Director of ACBD/Head of the Department of Clinical Haematology
This prize has been established in honour of the late Professor Barry G. Firkin (1903-2001),
regarded by many as Australias most famous academic/clinical haematologist. He was a powerful
advocate of the notion that clinical research began at the bedside, was investigated and solved in
the laboratory, and returned to the clinic for advancement of patient care. Throughout his career,
Professor Firkin made many important discoveries that have had a profound impact on medical
practice. He inspired many young investigators and clinicians, provided great leadership in the
broader medical and research community and left a lasting impression on all who were fortunate
enough to know the great man.
