∗ Minimal Text. Specific details are available in the textbook. We will only provide text to set up and support the activities in the lab.
∗ Variety of Learning Activities. Within each lab exercise will be a variety of activities, including coloring and labeling anatomical figures, critical thinking and clinically–orientated questions that promote problem–solving.
∗ Effective Use of Illustrations. Simple line drawings, that allow important features to stand out, not just duplication of figures from the text book, will support the lab activities. Histology specific to each organ system is found in that system chapter, not all lumped together in a separate section.
∗ Active Diagrams. Many diagrams will be provided without labels, or in a coloring–book format to promote active learning of the material.
