This course is fully online. There are recorded lectures, case studies, weekly quizzes, weekly discussions and 3 midterms (which are given online).

Office hours are by appt..

Please see information above for textbook options. You can purchase used 6th editions of "Understanding Pathophysiology" by Heuther and McCane if you would like a hard copy of the textbook. The publisher is offering eBooks only at this time. You can purchase the 7th edition if you would like a new book. If you buy the 7th edition, I have a conversion guide for the 6th to the 7th edition. 

Technology

You will use the internet to access course materials and do some searching of information. The textbook is available in eBook format for the 6th edition. You are welcome to purchase the 7th edition of the book if you would like a hard copy. I had to switch to the 7th edition due to bookstore requirements. I am fine with you choosing a source that will save you money. There is a conversion sheet to guide you on the change of chapter numbers. That is the only difference that will affect your use of either book. 

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class. It is important to log in as soon as the class starts to see what the participation requirements are.
