Assessment and Grading
I want to assess student knowledge of the Musculoskeletal System by using three methods. (1) Ask students to review anatomy-related internet websites and write a brief summary of an article of their choice. (2) Ask students to correctly name pictured musculoskeletal body parts. (3) Split students into two teams for developing pro and con arguments on a topic, which will be debated on the discussion board. (4) Ask students to select a musculoskeletal body part and write a summary about it. (5) Ask students to use knowledge gained and team with others to define and create a group project.
