I posted feedback from a meeting 2/18 regarding the High Risk Student policy and ATI testing policy. Please look it over and either post feedback on this blog, the google groups, or send it to me directly at spokewrench@gmail.com.
At the meeting, we also discussed ideas for improving lab given the new format. Students expressed concern at how little time we get to practice skills with instructor feedback. We assumed that we cannot simply add more lab time. One idea was to ask Jolene and Sherry to train a student liaison for each skill who persons a skill station during our "play" time in lab and is able to supervise student practice of that skill before the student completes the instructor demonstration. I will ask Jolene and Sherry today if they wants ideas given directly to them, or if SFA is the preferred venue. My hope is to keep hashing this idea out in order to present something either to J&S in a couple weeks, or to SFA's March meeting.
Some students have also expressed a desire to have more clinical days. Before we get too deep into discussing this topic, I want to check-in with the SFA to see if discussing additional time is within the realm of the changeable. If it would be logistically/fiscally impossible, I don't want us to waste time hashing out our opinions.
Thank you!

SFA--please give feedback. Thanks!!
Hello lovely classmates,
I posted Marilyn's latest drafts of the High Risk Student Policy which outlines faculty intervention for students at risk of failing any class, and the new ATI testing policy which would require students to pay for various ATI assessment tests that will be taken throughout the two-year program. Helpful feedback includes everything from editing to clarifying questions to statement of agreement/disagreement. Please include reasons for any opinions. The goal is to have clear and fair policy that a new student could understand simply by reading the policy (imagine that!).
Also, my roll is to take your ideas/feedback/concerns to the faculty. I would love ideas about how to best accomplish this goal and will appreciate ongoing feedback so that we, as a class, can best take advantage of student representation.
Thank you!

Unit III study guide
You are not going to believe this, but there is now a 27 page study guide available at your fingertips on the Google docs page. We spent A LOT of time on this one folks, so please, use it!!
There are some empty and highlighted spaces that we didn't get to, and all of the objective F is empty. Good luck!

Unit II Objectives
Michelle and I just posted a collaborative Unit II Study Guide for objectives A-C. Objective D was to vague to tackle.
Hyperventilation
I just read an article about hyperventilation that I found helpful. Not much new information, but a more connected and reader-friendly version than the text.

Lab packets posted
Hi Class,
I just posted some packets from lab class. Some of them didn't post right, so I tried changing the file type and reposting. Anything with a (2) or (3) after it would not open correctly. Let me know if you find any errors!

More notes
Hey folks,
Rachel and Holly have put up some great documents on 145 videos and height weight metrics on the Google groups page. I've also put up the (sloppy!) notes I took in class this morning in 144- the lecture on Unit III and the video. Plus I posted Jan's Unit III outline that she has up on eReserves.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed!
Can you believe its week 5?
