The more ways content can be delivered the better we all learn. I am a huge proponent for reading & understanding the material prior to coming to class that is, if the lecture is on the heart then one should have read that chapter before coming to class. Connect s Learn Smart module offers a tremendous way for testing your understanding. I have assigned these modules to be completed prior to the relevant lectures. 15 modules are assigned throughout the semester. You need only complete 10 of the 15 to receive the full 150 points (15% of the final grade) for the semester each module is worth 15 points. Page 5
