This module builds upon the semester 1 module WIRR013. In the second semester module students will learn how the nervous and endocrine systems influence behaviour. Topics covered will include the role of the central and autonomic nervous systems, the visual systems and hormones. These provide a strong foundation for modules that follow in years 1, 2 and 3. At the end of the module students will have an understanding of the major functions of the brain, spinal cord, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and the role of key hormones in regulating behaviour. The module will be taught via 11 weeks of 4 hour classes, composed of 2 x 2 hour lessons. These are small group teaching sessions containing fewer than 20 students per class. Learning will be assessed via coursework poster and end of semester essay examination. Material will be available to students via the VLE (e.g., lecture slides, online activities, group discussion forum, formative and summative feedback).
