Hi Christine and all,
I teach clinical pathology where veterinary students learn to make a
diagnosis using clinical laboratory data. Students learn to explain
their reasoning in terms of the underlying disturbance in physiology
that is indicated by laboratory data abnormalities. The course
focuses on thinking through problems and developing clinical reasoning
skills. A large part of the course is the ability to communicate that
reasoning. I encourage appeals because appeals help students feel
empowered to express their reasoning processes. Appeals also surface
misconceptions and miscommunications that get in the way of
understanding important course concepts. In my view, appeals are an
integral part of the TBL process and well worth the time.
Best,
Holly Bender
