Hi everyone! Here are the details for our last exam.

Date/time. Exam 4 is scheduled for Wednesday, December 10. It will open at 12:00 am that day, and you will have until 11:59 pm on Wednesday to complete it. You’ll have 2 hours to complete it once you open it. Just be sure to submit it by 11:59 on Wednesday 12/10.

Password. The assessment password is YouarethebestD2s

Points/questions. The exam has 33 multiple-choice, one-answer questions, each worth one point.

Exam breakdown. Here’s the breakdown by lecture.

• Pituitary: 1 question
• Thyroid: 8 questions
• Adrenal: 4 questions
• MEN: 1 question
• Bone and Joint: 10 questions
• Muscle: 2 questions
• CNS: 7 questions

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Due to an unexpected scheduling conflict, Dr. Koutlas is not able to present his lecture in the classroom live tomorrow. So I have posted a lecture recording for you to watch at your convenience. Sorry for the last minute change! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi everyone! Here are the details for our third exam.

Date/time. The exam will be open from 12:00 am until 11:59 pm on Wednesday, November 19th and you’ll have 2 hours to complete it once you start. Just be sure to get it uploaded by 11:59 pm Wednesday night.

Password. The assessment password is AwesomeD2s.

Points/questions. The exam has 28 multiple choice, single-answer questions and is worth a total of 28 points.

Exam breakdown. Here’s the breakdown by lecture. Some of the questions ask you to differentiate between acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, lymphoma and/or myeloma, so I had to lump those two lecture topics together.

• Anemia: 8 questions
• Acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma: 10 questions
• Hemostasis: 5 questions
• Bleeding and thrombotic disorders: 5 questions

Suggestions for studying. It would probably be a good idea to do Quiz 3 (even though it’s not actually due until Friday – because it will test your knowledge) and go through the Exam 3 review as part of your studying process.

As always, the exam questions will all come straight from the PowerPoint slides for each lecture. For diseases, focus on the “Things You Must Know” slides to help you narrow things down to the points I think are most important.

That’s all I can think of! Please let me know if you have any questions. I’ll be checking my email frequently tonight 🙂

Just a reminder that we will NOT have class in-person tomorrow. You guys asked if we could do an asynchronous class because you have a radiology exam right after our class – and since it’s just a quiz and an exam review, those are things that are easy to switch to online.

I posted Quiz 3 and the Exam 3 review Kahoot on our Schedule page.

Please complete quiz 3 by midnight on Friday, 11/21.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Really, please ask me some questions. I haven’t gotten any and that kinda makes me anxious. So if any little thing doesn’t make sense, drop me an email. Thanks!

Scores for exam 2 are now posted on Canvas. You did great, as always – the mean was 96%!

I posted the scores for quiz 1 and exam 1 on Canvas. You guys did great on Exam 1 – the mean was 97%! Yay!

Just a quick reminder: I am on vacation until the 25th, so for the next three weeks, we won’t have in-person class. I don’t like being away that long – it feels weird not seeing you guys at all – but I will do my best to keep checking in with you and I am always here if you have questions (just drop me an email).

Looking ahead a bit, this week is pretty simple – just a couple lectures (pancreas/liver/gallbladder and renal) for you to watch at your convenience. The following week, we’ll have Quiz 2 and a lecture on skin. We’ll do Quiz 2 the same way we did quiz one (using Google forms, open-book etc.).

Here are a few photos I took today and yesterday, in case you like seeing other people’s travel photos!

Hi everyone! Here are the details on exam 1.

Accommodations: Please drop me a quick email if you have accommodations (even if you’ve done so before) and let me know what your time accommodation is. I just want to be sure I get everyone, since there may have been some changes since Histology.

Date/time. The exam will be open from 12:00 am until 11:59 pm on Wednesday, September 24, and you’ll have 1 hour to complete it once you start. Just be sure to get it uploaded by 11:59 pm Wednesday night.

That’s all I can think of! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here is the link to Quiz 1.

This quiz covers Cardiac Pathology 1, 2, and 3. is an open-book, open-note, talk with each other quiz, just as if we were doing it in the classroom. I’ve used Google Forms instead of Kahoot for this quiz, which makes it SO much easier for me to collect your responses, and also it means there’s no time limit for answering each question.

You can take the quiz anytime you want. The deadline for completing the quiz is midnight on Friday, 9/19.

You can also find the quiz on our schedule page, under today’s date (9/15).

Since I didn’t get through all of the cardiac pathology material this week, we’ll use our class time on Monday 9/15 to go through the last lecture (Cardiac Pathology 3).

We’ll finish early, since there are only 15 slides, but rather than doing quiz 1 in class (before you’ve had a chance to digest the material in Cardiac Pathology 3), I’m making quiz 1 an online, take-home quiz. We’ll use Google Forms, because that format is easier for take-home quizzes. The deadline for completing the quiz will be midnight on Tuesday 9/16, just so we can get it done with and it doesn’t linger over your head.

I’ll post the quiz on our website and also send out an email after class on Monday. Please let me know if you have any questions!
