Thank you Ken and well put. Our situation is that we have some people
that would like to try switching the sequence to spend a little more time on
the nervous and endocrine systems earlier in the semester. One of the
major factors is a “gut feeling” that this will better prepare our
students in these two vital areas because the students are “fresher”
earlier in the semester. The counter to this is that a few don’t
want to even give it a try because they don’t think it will work.
Therefore, they want some evidence. I don’t know about you, but I’ve
tried a lot of things in my life/career that I didn’t think would work,
or that I would like (several foods come to mind). So the real issue becomes, will trying a change
in the sequence of chapters/topics in API hurt anyone, especially students.
I think not. Jason LaPres Associate Professor of Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology 2700 WW Thorne Winship 210E 281-618-7132 From:

early in API (before muscles and bones) helps students do better and APII, and
subsequently, in future health care programs?
