Policy A student who is not performing adequately, or who is failing the course, must meet with the course director to arrange for review of course information or laboratory requirements. The decision to recommend a tutor can only be made by the course director following discussion with the student. The method of course repetition will be determined by the course director. APC will also set a deadline for completion of the remediation or repetition of this course. The general goal of the lab is to teach you how to develop a differential diagnosis and to provide opportunities for you to practice developing one.
Every lab focuses on one particular, problem-oriented case.
You are asked thought-provoking questions about each case. The cases were designed to assist you in developing problem solving skills and the critical, logical thinking a differential diagnosis requires. It does not matter if you arrive at the correct diagnosis for each case. You are assigned two cases, and are required to present both cases in class. You are also required to submit a written assignment for each case you present.
