Teaching Methodology:
This course utilizes several approaches to teaching including but not limited to lectures on PowerPoint, workbook assignments, writing assignments, group discussions, oral presentation, and videos to accomplish stated objectives.
Students are expected to come prepared for lecture; assignments or special projects are expected on scheduled day. Lectures will address course objectives and will be presented as PowerPoint outlines which will be available for printing from NYCCT’s Blackboard account. Lectures may also include videos providing demonstrations to provide visualization, an additional aid in understanding and comprehension of the material.
Student oral presentations are prepared from required course materials that cover developmental abnormalities and are included in testing.
All lecture objectives if not covered in detail during class time are the responsibility of the students.
A writing assignment is required and one assignment will be available for extra credit. Any problem with lectures, materials or objectives should be brought to the attention of the instructor.
Assessment Methods: Four (4)tests and one(1) cumulative final will be given along with weekly quizzes, and workbook assignments.
Each test will consist of approximately 25-35 questions. The cumulative final will consist of approximately 50–75 questions. The test format may include multiple choice answers, diagrams and possible short answer fill-ins. Weekly quizzes will also contain this variety of testing modalities.
Homework assignments are required, counted as part of the final grade and due on dates specified. Failure to hand-in assignments by due date will result in a 10 point reduction in the assignment grade.
Oral Presentations and Written Assignments will be graded using rubrics which will be available on class website: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/groups/den-1114-oral-histology-embryology/.
One end of term extra credit assignment will be available. It will only be accepted when handed in by the assigned date and will add 1 point to the final grade.
