ANA 509. Teaching Methods in Anatomical Sciences

Associate Professor B. Davis and staff

Credit: two hours

This interactive class offers practical applications in the use of various teaching formats in the anatomical sciences (gross anatomy, histology, embryology) including lecture, gross anatomy lab, histology lab, computer-assisted lab instruction (virtual lab), small group discussion and problem based learning. The course will also provide experience in syllabus preparation, learning objective construction, exam question writing and course evaluation. Additional lecture topics will focus on learning theory and selected topics in educational research relevant to teaching methods and outcomes assessment. Students will also prepare and deliver lectures using several different formats (power point, slides, overheads and blackboards), and will lead small-group venues (e.g. laboratory, case study sessions).
