To minimize the students time spent on labs and lab reports, we have designed relatively simple experiments and pre-formatted lab reports. However, students are encouraged to explore new experiments by discussing their ideas with the professor. One point toward the final grade is given to each lab report. There are five problem sets in this course. The problem sets are used to provide students with some experience on analyzing basic physiological data.
Quantitative analysis is important in physiology and medicine.
Students are expected to present their solutions in class. One point toward the final grade is given to each problem set. The faculty member and one of his patients will be present in the classroom. They will review the patient s clinical history, diagnosis, and treatment to relate physiology to the practice of medicine. One point toward the final grade is given based on attendance of this session.
