Description

As an introductory course to reviewing and analyzing peer-refereed research and clinical literature/articles, this course focuses on the development of skills associated with the critical evaluation of content, relevance, reliability and delivery of professional communications. This course consists of weekly "journal article reviews," led by students, pertaining to peer-refereed research and clinical journal literatures/articles. Faculty and guests, on occasion, may also be invited to demonstrate, instruct and lead presentations. If the student enrolled does not give a presentation, a grade of "Pass' or "No Credit" is assigned based on attendance only. If the student enrolled does give a presentation, a grade of "A, B, C, D, or F" is assigned based on both the presentation and attendance. Prerequisite: Sophomore science major or instructor approval. (0-1 s.h.) Anticipated frequency of offering: fall/spring.
