Number of Credits: Five
Exams:
There are four exam days (Feb. 12, Mar. 25, Apr. 29 and May 2, 2007). The
initial three exam days will each have lecture and
lab parts with each part counting equally to get a composite score for that
day. Each composite score counts for 26.66% of the overall course grade. The
tests will be a combination of multiple
choice (lecture part) and short answer fill-in-the blank (lab part) questions. Exams will cover lecture, case history/clinical
correlation, and laboratory material.
The fourth exam day will be a set of 50 multiple choice 'common
questions' (i.e. given at all WWAMI first year teaching sites) that cover
material taught throughout the course. This set of questions counts 20%
of the overall course grade.
Required Passing Level:
minimum of 70% overall for the four exams and minimum of 70% on the 'common
question' set.
Requirements for "Testing Out":
A minimum of 80% on an exam (multiple choice and short-answer) to be taken by
Tuesday, January 16, 2007.
See Dr. Kelliher if you wish to discuss testing out.
Required Books:
(1) The Human Brain. An Introduction to Its Functional Anatomy.
Nolte, J. 5th ed., 2002. St. Louis: Mosby Inc. (ISBN
0-323-01320-1)
(2) The Human Nervous System/Med. Sci. 532 Laboratory Syllabus 2008.
