Winter Short: Students Perform Best with a Pre-Test | TAPP 129

In yet another of our Winter Shorts episodes, Kevin Patton discusses his experience with Pre-Tests as a learning tool—not simply an assessment tool. Surprisingly, the use of Pre-Tests improved student scores on the regular tests.

Guess what? This is another one of our winter shorts! Yep, that's right, it's a shorter-than-usual episode in which I present one or two, or maybe three or four, classic, evergreen segments from previous episodes that are remastered, reconstituted, and recycled for your listening and learning pleasure. But mainly it's to give me a break for self-care over the holiday season. We'll be back to our regular programming in late January.

 

What is a Pre-Test?

7 minutes

Pre-Testing isn't just for measuring prior competence before new learning starts. By itself, regardless of its use in course assessment, it's a powerful learning tool. Listen to Kevin's experience with pre-testing in his A&P courses.

Winter Short: Mitochondria, Platelets, Golgi, & Green Pens TAPP 127

Episode 127 is one of our winter shorts, where I replay interesting segments from previous episodes. In this one, you'll hear about the role of platelets in immunity, how the Golgi apparatus gets its weird shape, exactly how hot mitochondria get, and why we may want to consider marking assignments and tests with a green pen, rather than a red one.

Mitochondria

1.5 minute

Mitochondria run about 10 °C hotter than the other components of the cell. This number may be helpful when discussing thermoregulation, metabolism, cell biology, and more.

• Hot mitochondria? (an article in PLOS Biology) AandP.info/hw7
• This segment first aired in Teaching For Long Term Learning | Episode 7




Platelets

5 minutes

I summarize the newly described functions of motile platelets (not the sticky ones) in grabbing and bundling bacteria from a site of injury. The motile platelets then deliver the bacteria to neutrophils, which gobble up the bacteria. I offer suggestions on when (and if) one could use this information in teaching an A&P course.

Golgi Apparatus

5 minutes

The Golgi apparatus has a distinctive flattened shape. It turns out that it's the functioning of the cytoskeleton that is responsible for that shape.

2.5 minutes

It's a small thing, for sure, but the color pen we use for grading student work can have an impact on the tone of communication in a class.

★ No Red Pens! (Kevin's blog post on this topic; with links to additional information)

★ Green Felt Tip Pens

Ten Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells | A Forest in My Office | TAPP 126

We list ten things that we often forget to tell—or remind—our students about cells. We learn how to create a peaceful forest-like retreat in our office using soundscapes, I get my winter shorts ready (seriously), and Margaret Reece comments about teaching urinary concepts. That last topic spurs a rant from Kevin on diversity of course sections.

Pee Again

7 minutes

Reacting to The Pee Episode (TAPP 125), Dr. Margaret Reece explains why she thinks the urinary system could be covered far earlier in the anatomy and physiology course than is typical. Kevin then takes off on that idea, suggesting that we should encourage differences among sections of the same course taught at the same time in a single institution.

Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells

15.5 minutes

Here, we outline four (of ten) things that we sometimes under-emphasize to students in our A&P course when discussing cells:

★ Cell diagrams & stained specimens are best thought of as cartoons. They are simplified.

★ Cells are not multicolored, as they are often represented. They are transparent.

★ A fuller concept of the cytoskeleton

★ Molecular motors, which are part of the cytoskeleton, are the movers of cells.

This segment mentions the mind's eye of students, which is not well developed in all students.

More Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells

15.5 minutes

We finish our list of ten things that we often forget to keep in front of students as they struggle to understand cells and their characteristics.

★ Cells interact with the intracellular matrix (ECM).

★ Things are really, really, really—really—crowded inside cells. And this is a good thing.

★ Cells are not water balloons. Not exactly. Maybe a chunk of Jello covered in butter is a good supplemental example.

★ Cell processes don't happen in steps. Steps happen in explanations, not in the continous flow of living processes.

★ Cells make mistakes. All the time. Some are tragic; some are not.

★ Cells can take care of (many) mistakes.

The Pee Episode | Teaching Urinary & Renal Concepts | TAPP 125

Teaching renal anatomy & physiology is tricky and sometimes difficult. In The Pee Episode I'll tell you how I know that for sure. Plus, I'll share some possible strategies for providing the clarity needed to avoid confusion and that unhelpful kind of frustration that sometimes accompanies the renal module in our course. And there's a song from Greg Crowther!

Kevin "proves" that renal A&P is hard to understand, learn, and teach. Using the countercurrent mechanisms as examples, he demonstrates his point AND gives some tips on making things work better for students. And of course, storytelling enters into the discussion. A note from the HAPS Learning Outcomes tells us that sometimes less is more.

Big Picture of Renal A&P

11 minutes

Here's an example of condensing the story of urine formation into a brief "big picture." Kevin shares a playful story that shows how filtration, reabsorption, and secretion are not as weird a way to balance the blood as they  may seem at first.

Lyrics

Solutes in the plasma may be lost in the urine.
(Push some solutes out; pull some solutes back!)
They're governed by a formula that's well worth learnin'.
(Push some solutes out; pull some solutes back!)
Three different processes control what you're releasin':
Filtration plus secretion minus reabsorption is excretion.
(Push some solutes out; pull some solutes back!)
(Push some solutes out; pull some back!)

Anatomy & Physiology: Combo or Split? | Journal Club with Krista Rompolski | TAPP 124

Dr. Krista Rompolski joins us for a Journal Club episode discussing a study regarding whether it's best to have a separate anatomy course followed by a physiology course, or to combine anatomy & physiology into an integrated two-semester sequence. We've all considered this question, haven't we? Now we have some data to discuss!

Krista briefly summarizes the key elements of the study that serves as the jumping-off point for this episode's discussion. All the facts, with no filler.

Long-Term Retention Sucks Either Way

12.5 minutes

Which is better? Anatomy, then Physiology—or combined Anatomy & Physiology?> Let's face it, as Krista points out in this segment, long-term retention sucks either way. In this segment, we go beyond that rather flip gut reaction we can all identify with to some more profound ideas about what this study means for us.

Cover Everything?

13 minutes

Continuing the conversation in this segment, we wonder how much we should be teaching in our courses and whether integrated A&P courses allow us to "have it all" by allowing us to "remember less" because we can revisit important concepts later on, as needed. We also remind ourselves that we don't have to cover every objective recommended for the A&P course or that is in the textbook.

Detailing the Level of Detail

15 minutes

We explore the idea of the amount of content in the A&P course as "being easy" versus "being manageable." Is an overwhelming course really best for students? Or is the main goal to provide a foundation upon which students can slowly build after leaving our course?
