For the purposes of the small group sessions, the class has been divided into 12 groups of approximately 13-14 students each.  Each group will have a facilitator.  Please note that the small group sessions are not additional lectures and substantial student participation is expected.  Also note that both the nature of the small group sessions and the questions addressed vary from session to session.  Small group sessions may address basic science problems, clinical scenarios, or an integrated combination of the two.  Some small group sessions are designed to reinforce material presented in the lectures while others are designed to introduce new material.  The questions addressed within the small group sessions are designed to encourage you to research your answers and discuss them during the sessions.  Following the conclusion of each small group session, answers to the questions will be posted on the Medical Physiology website and/or distributed by email.

At the start of each small group session a short quiz will be given.  The quizzes are designed to encourage you to research the questions that will be addressed in the small group session and to review lecture and/or other assigned material relevant to the session prior to your attendance.  The quizzes will be based upon either the questions to be addressed during the session or material with which you should be familiar in order to answer the questions addressed during the session.  There will be 6 small group sessions and therefore 6 quizzes.  The average of 6 quiz scores will account for 3% of the final grade in the course (each quiz accounting for 0.5%).

As noted above there will be one question per each small group session on the exams.
