21. Teaching Methods and Assignments:

Development of ILOs is promoted through the following teaching and learning methods: (Choose from table below)

Learning-Teaching StrategiesThis is a one-semester course that will utilize EXTENSIVE interactive lectures, active discussions, case studies analyses, worksheets, assignments, and individual and group efforts to attain the objectives. The use of whiteboard and markers for summarizing major points, audio-visual aids including overhead and slide projectors, hand-outs when required, online records, and the internet would be invested. Participation and Educational Guidelines:Each student must recognize that he/she bears the primary responsibility for his/her education. Classroom participation provides an opportunity to both refine your thinking and to practice expressing your ideas. Students are expected to prepare for lectures by reading the assigned materials and reviewing relevant materials. It is assumed that students will have read and thought about assigned materials before class. That is, you should at least have skimmed through them even if you don't understand them. Having documents for the session will be very helpful in following along with the material that is taught in the course. An internet access is highly encouraged.

Students are expected to attend all classes and ask questions as necessary. Successful learning in this course depends upon regular reading, studying, and class attendance. Absenteeism and missing sessions may hurt you significantly if you do not keep pacing with the course materials.

The discussions will be utilized in this course extensively. A constructive contribution helps to move the discussion forward. NONE will be penalized for floating an idea that others debunk. I encourage you to think critically, to challenge your classmates without showing disrespect, and to put forward your own ideas for consideration by others. A “pop quiz” will be given without prior warming in any session.Bonuses will be given as per faculty for outstanding participants.

Students are encouraged to seek faculty assistance when they are having difficulty with content or with a specific skill. Seek help early. Don’t wait until you are too deeply in trouble to bail yourself out. Office hours are listed above and I am also available only in appointments. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should,



invest your braining. Students are encouraged to talk with faculty on an individual basis if they want to explore specific content in more depth than is possible in class.

Teaching Methodologies: The following approaches that are guided by Adult Learning Theory will be used to achieve course and clinical objectives related to the ILOs:Instructional Methods Learning Activities (Examples)

Direct Instruction Structured orientation lectures Skills and procedures demonstrations

Indirect Instruction Evidence-based articles Literature searches and reviews

Interactive Instruction Clinical conferences and case presentations E-learning using Moodle

Experiential Learning Experiential learning in clinical setting Simulation

Independent Study Self-directed literature review and synthesis to address problems in a

specific case study Reflective Journaling
