1-2 hours per week. The assignments are the final activities for each lesson. They provide the student and myself an opportunity to see if they are able to connect what they learned to real-world problems.Mastery Evaluation
This includes the final test that follows a similar format to the activities - applying the learned concepts to real-life applications.Grading
I will provide feedback as the student progresses through the course. I will also provide written assessments at the end of the course if the adult would like to keep a record of their students learning. Please inform me at the time of sign up if this is something you would be interested in.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
The overall A&P program is broken down into smaller unit studies which are also broken down into chapters. Each chapter is further broken down into lessons. There are between 3 and 6 lessons per chapter, including the final chapter test. A new chapter will be added to the school page approximately every two weeks until the entire program has been added. Each lesson is then broken down into a video that teaches the topic, readings that delve a bit deeper, problem-based activities, and Quizzlets. This setup provides a way to reduce the overwhelming feeling that sometimes comes up when we are faced with a daunting task while also allowing students and parents to choose to take the entire course, or just the units and chapters they are interested in learning. There will be 6 Units and 17 Chapter This is course is Chapter 4: The Tissue Level of Organization Though this progam is self-paced, I am always available for help or guidance if needed through email or video. Though I hold students to a high standard I understand that standard is different for each student. I believe the best way to learn in through guidance as a learner progresses. Though I can provide grades if requested, I focus mostly on providing critical feedback that will help guide the student to a better understanding. I see mistakes as learning points and not as something that is bad or needed to be avoided at the cost of true effort.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify the four basic tissue types.
Students will be able to describe the structure and function of each tissue type.
