035577

This course is a structured independent study. The student is expected to review materials from the previous year Intersessions course that they failed. These materials include readings, powerpoints posted to ArizonaMed on-line, as well as podcasts of lectures. In addition, the student is expected to research literature relevant to the assigned topics. See assessment.
Assessment of student performance:
The student will complete 3, 5-10 page double-spaced papers. Each paper will address a topic assigned to the student. The topics are selected by the course director to reflect one major theme for each week of the Intersessions course that was failed. The student should address the topic and focus on the current trends and controversies related to the topic. The papers should be the student's original work and should be scholarly and cite references.

The student will then be required to discuss and defend her papers with a small committee composed of the course director and several other faculty with expertise in the topic area.
