Lecture and Team Learning Activities: Room CM 340; M - F;
9:30 - 10:25 A.M.
This year there will be a combination
of lectures and team learning activities during this time slot.
For lectures, an outline with corresponding figures will be provided several
days before each lecture. The optimal learning situation is to familiarize
yourself with the lecture outline and read the assigned chapter in the
textbook prior to attending the lecture on a particular day. For
team learning activities, a reading assignment will be made and learning
objectives will be distributed; you will be expected to arrive for the
team learning activity prepared to discuss the material. To insure that
material has been read, an individual or group quiz will take place at the
start of the team learning activity. However, the instructor will be responsive
to any questions concerning the material prior to the quiz. For both
lectures and team learning, Power Point slides will be available on ANGEL
as an overview of the material. These activities will facilitate
the integration of information by participation in small group discussions
and will place a greater emphasis on active learning.
Laboratory / Problem Based Learning Activity: Wednesday
12:30 - 3:30 P.M.
Conference: Friday 11:30 A.M - 12:30 P.M.
These time slots will be used to amplify and
reinforce the concepts learned in lecture and for help sessions. There
will be a mixture of field trips, computer simulations, patient-oriented
problem solving sessions, discussion of clinical case, Internet activities
and video tape presentations. Some of these activities will be used to
satisfy formative exercises for Level 1 Competency achievement. Evaluation
tools, usually a written exercise or quiz (multiple choice/short answer),
will be used to monitor preparation and comprehension of handout materials.
It is prudent to prepare for these activities by reading and understanding
handouts made available. Make-up work will be possible only
if arranged prior to a scheduled absence. Students will be responsible for
written assignments on the due date. These will be graded and calculated
with the lab/conference/team learning grade. Occasionally, these time slots
will used for unit examinations where the exam is 2 hours in length. The
laboratory /conference grade will count for 10% of the final grade, with
approximately 1.6% of the lab/conference score for activities associated
with each of the six units.
Examinations:
There will be 6 unit exams during the semester at
regular intervals (during allocated laboratory / conference period time
slot or other arranged time as designated by class majority).
The value of each exam will be approximately 11.65% of the final grade (6
X 11.65% = 70% of final grade). The exact value of each exam will depend
on the number of lectures covered and is noted on the lecture schedule with
the exam dates. This may change slightly, depending on negotiated exam
date changes. The final exam will be a comprehensive shelf exam from the
National Board of Medical Examiners and will be 20% of the final grade.
A passing grade must be achieved on the comprehensive final to pass the course.
Grading: An evaluation of your performance
will be determined on the following scheme:
92 - 100 % = Honors; 84 - 91.9 % =
High Pass; 75 - 83.9 % = Pass; Below 74.9 % =
Fail
