Description:
Diseases and illnesses of the cardiovascular system are presented from multiple perspectives, including modern therapies. Learning activities highlight ECG interpretation, making a differential diagnosis, and strategies for prevention of heart disease.
Course Learning Goals, Assessment, Practice, Teaching and Learning Activities, and their Integration with the Institutional Educational Objectives:
|
What does our institution want our graduates to do? |
If your students mastered the content of your course, what would they be able to do? |
What will students need to do for them and others (peers, professors) to know whether they have achieved this specific learning goal? |
How will students get the information they need to learn? |
