Some Good Cases

Well...I've sent for several books over Amazon. Two arrived and are too involved for the CC level. They are Case Studies in Anatomy by Ernest Lachman and Lachman's Case Studies in Anatomy by Cahill. They are good, however, for stimulating my thoughts. One arrived and is a truncated version of the book so I returned it. That book is Van Wynsberghe: Case Histories in Human Physiology and it is wonderful!! Very detailed stories and questions to lead the learner through to the answer. I am impatient to receive the correct version!

Online I found an adapted version of 20 of Van Wynsberghe's case studies at www.mhhe.com/biosci/abio/casestudies. These are also useful, albeit simplified, and I will probably use them for my one term A and P classes. I am going to contact McGraw-Hill Publishing to see if they will send me a review copy.

This may seem as though I haven't done very much, but I wrote 6 syllabii this week and added case studies into all of them. Now I have to make it work! Wish me luck!!!

New Beginnings

Well...here's my first blog. Why am I starting this blog? I'm not sure, but I do know that one of my main objectives this term is to use case studies in my Anatomy and Physiology classes. This will require research and time that I, of course, don't have. Maybe I will keep track of my progress in this blog. If you have any recommendations on where to find A and P 1 and 2 case studies, please post them for me! I teach at the Community College level.
Thanks,
KC
