It is the faculty's intent to facilitate student learning by focusing on ways of knowing about pathophysiology in relation to a wide variety of health challenges. Learning activities include lecture and group discussion, nursing case study analysis and group work, group or individual research and presentation. Students derive knowledge by actively engaging in learning activities, by relating course content to clinical practice situations and by critically reflecting on the application process.
Evaluation is consistent with Douglas College Curriculum Development and Approval Policy. There will be a minimum of three assessments which will typically include exams, quizzes, papers and/or student presentations. An evaluation schedule is presented at the beginning of the course. Respect for individual choices and an openness to negotiation guide decisions about methods of evaluation.
This is a graded course.
