In addition, students use data-acquisition devices to monitor physiological mechanisms such as muscle movement, reflex and respiration. Using clay, students construct organs and tissues on a skeletal manikin system by system. One would expect to work through interesting real world cases and often assume the role of various biomedical professionals to solve, troubleshoot challenging medical problems from different perspectives.
Student pre-requisites for this class: Biology I (A or A+) OR Biology H (B or higher),responsible, organized , very detailed- oriented, independent ,diligent (hard-working), excellent note-taking and time management skills are essential. FAQ: HBS vs. Anatomy and Physiology (A & P) HBS- sophomore level course- approach is non-traditional via activities/projects. A & P- junior/senior level course -approach is traditional
Student assignments are moodle-based (ex. electronic career journals, discussion forums etc.) Students are expected to maintain a portfolio which will be periodically submitted. This class is heavily centered around group projects.
