Students will be able to explain in their own words the foundational concepts presented in the two biomedical modules comprising this course. Additionally, they will be able implement the strategies for studying and learning presented in the educational module.

As an online MS-level course, graduate student involvement and 
participation are self-paced. Because repetition and reflection 
are foundational to this approach, students will answer 
questions to assist in mastery of the concepts. Some questions 
will assess the student’s ability to recall specific information 
from the module, while others will assess the student’s ability 
to analyze and apply the information presented. If a student is 
unable to take the question of the day, they will be given one 
opportunity to make up the question at the end of each module. 
Students will have an opportunity to answer make-up questions for 
credit, provided they provide proof and prior notification of a 
severe illness, a death in the immediate family, or other grave 
circumstances. If one of the module tests is missed because of 
the reasons above, a make-up test will be given. Missed module 
tests must be made up by the end of the Reading Day; otherwise, 
a score of 0 will be given for that test.

Copying, photographing, or recreating questions asked during 
this course in any way will be considered a violation of the UGA 
academic honesty policy; students guilty of such actions will 
receive an F grade and will be reported to the Vice President for 
Instruction for further investigation, action, and potential 
discipline for this violation, as outlined by the UGA online 
resources found at: https://honesty.uga.edu/Academic-Honesty-
Policy/.

Additionally, all questions and exams must be taken 
individually. Students found to be working together on these 
assessment items will be considered in violation of the UGA 
academic honesty policy and will be subject to the same procedures as 
discussed above. All Questions of the Day will be randomized. 
Consequently, students should not expect to each see the same 
question with the same answer choices on any given day as their 
classmates.
