11/01/2012   (1340-1640)  OB Lecture #4 - LAST ONE!!

Today was my last lecture for the OB PL students with Marla.  Every lecture has been a lot of work but this one took quite a bit longer.  In addition to the reading of the chapters and note-taking, I added a case study that I created from my clinical experience.  I had the students divide up into groups of 5-6, read and discuss the case study, then answer six questions regarding it.  After about 15min, we discussed the case study together and with PowerPoint slides, I gave the answers to the questions after discussion of each question.  I gave the students evaluation cards and I received great feedback regarding the case study.  They commented that it was good that they were given the opportunity to correlate what was discussed in the lecture with an actual case.  So, thumbs-up on case studies in the classroom!  It was a lecture that met all the goals I had set for myself.  At the end of the lecture, Marla gave me a stack of written papers to grade;  that's next on my To-Do List.
