| STUDENT PRESENTATIONS:
The first night of class students will be randomly assigned into small groups (2-4 depending on class size). Each group will be randomly assigned a chapter in Medical Cell Biology that they will present to the class on a predetermined night. Each group will: 1) prepare and deliver a 45-50 minute lecture (total for the group), 2) prepare a coherent and informative PowerPoint that will be uploaded to Moodle after the lecture, 3) have a lecture guide to distribute to the class prior to the presentation, 4) prepare and email to Dr Brendley and/or the class TA: a set of 10 m/c questions, 4 short answer questions, and 1 essay (with answer key) for possible inclusion on the student presentation section of the exam It is expected that this will be a logical, interesting, informative and coherent presentation that will be delivered as if the class is at an AAFS plenary session. Students are expected to dress appropriately and to have worked together to make the talk flow smoothly. This presentation is worth 100 points. You can determine your grade by dividing your points earned by the total possible points. For example, if you earned 355 points out of a possible 465 points, your grade is a 76.3% and a C. Again, I can change the point values at any point in the semester. Check Moodle on a regular basis! The percent that you see at the end of the semester on Moodle will be your final grade! This is a four credit course, with each credit representing the equivalent of three hours of work per week (the faculty based standard at Guilford). Therefore, the total work load for this course depends on an average of 12 hours of work per week. Considering that a total of 2.45 hours of the course is spent in class and lab, the remaining 9.55 hours are reflected in the required assignments, activities (including lab reports & flowcharts), and readings to be completed outside of the scheduled class periods. To this end, I strongly advise you to establish a study routine at the beginning of the semester, allotting the required additional study time outside of class for each of your classes. Preparation: Reading and Note Taking Both because of its format and because of its content, this class requires everyone’s advance preparation. You must read and reflect on all assigned readings completely and carefully, more than once, before our class meetings, and take notes on what you’ve read. If your comments demonstrate that you are not prepared for the class discussions, and then I will either ignore you, ask you to leave class that day, or both. “Reading”, by the way, does not mean “skimming”. The mere fact that some photons bounced off the page and into your eyeballs does not mean that you read the material on those pages. “Reading” implies devoting attention to those pages – breaking them into manageable chunks, looking up the meanings of unfamiliar or forgotten terms, and making the time to digest what you read.
