Thanks, Aki! That does help.

I like the ideas that are presented in this class, and I think that I will use some of them for my clinical courses, but my most difficult class to teach, and the one that students have a lot of axiety over, is pharmacology. I'm mainly lecturing and it's so much information. I would like to do more active learning. Does anyone have any ideas for how to involve the students more? I want them to understand the drugs rather than just memorize them. I'm thinking of using case studies, but I'd like to do more.

I work in a vet tech program and most people think that all we do is play with animals all day long. We like for prospective students to see that what we actually do goes far beyond that. Our program is very challenging and that isn't immediately apparent. How can we encourage our school to require observational hours as part of the admissions process and what is considered a fair amount of hours?

In my profession, employers usually require certain physical characteristics like the ability to lift a certain amount of weight and the ability to stand for a certain period of time. If an applicant to our program will be incapable of meeting these physical requirements, are we simply obligated to inform them of the requirements? I don't think we can deny them entry into the program because that would be discrimination, right?
