Spring 2019 Lab Information: This laboratory course is intended to provide the student with

the opportunity to observe many of the physiological principles that are essential to human

function. It will help students develop physiology-related skills and techniques used in clinical

settings, improve student's problem solving skills, and enhance their ability to work both

independently as well as working as a part of a group.

Instruction will involve inquiry-based laboratory activities as well as traditional direct instruction.

Students will generate their own hypotheses, collect data from fellow students, analyze,

purchased at the campus bookstore. All pre-laboratory reading will be provided through this

platform, so there will be no additional text to purchase. Students will be expected to bring a

laptop to lab in order to complete their data collection.

Grading:

Pre-lab assignments = 15%

Lab activity = 5%

Post-lab assignment, case study = 25%

Presentations = 20%
