A Two-Level Case Study Design to Teach the Physiology of the Nervous System
By Tangi Mitchell, Cheryl L. Watson
In this two-part case study on the nervous system, students learn about neural pathways. The case scenarios are drawn from real life and require students to explain the physiological mechanisms at work. The first scenario is designed for freshmen level students while the second is for senior biology majors and graduate students.
