Rubric Maker!
Site for making rubrics. Different types are available for different courses. Well written, but can be modified. A definite plus! http://teachers.teach-nology.com
Case-based Science Websites with cases
Good A&P case studies. Professionally set up w/questions and answers. Factual, often quantitative answers. Available only to qualified teachers = http://www.sciencecases.org
Social, legal, and ethical science issues. Probably better for Human Bio or Intro Bio. Answers to questions are opinion. Stimulates thought. = http://ehrweb.aaas.org/

KENYON COLLEGE Cat Anatomy Tutorial
Excellent website with real pictures that walk the viewer through a cat dissection.
http://biology.kenyon.edu/heithausp/cat-tutorial/welcome.htm
This tutorial was designed to be used by college students studying cat anatomy. It is intended to enhance the laboratory experience and provide an alternate frame of reference for learning.

Audio for Case Intro
This is something new that I'm trying to create: an online case study class. Below is an audio tape that I've made for an opening sequence. You can listen to it by clicking on the triange at the left side. Please try it. I'm open for comments !!

Some Good Cases
Well...I've sent for several books over Amazon. Two arrived and are too involved for the CC level. They are Case Studies in Anatomy by Ernest Lachman and Lachman's Case Studies in Anatomy by Cahill. They are good, however, for stimulating my thoughts. One arrived and is a truncated version of the book so I returned it. That book is Van Wynsberghe: Case Histories in Human Physiology and it is wonderful!! Very detailed stories and questions to lead the learner through to the answer. I am impatient to receive the correct version!Online I found an adapted version of 20 of Van Wynsberghe's case studies at www.mhhe.com/biosci/abio/casestudies. These are also useful, albeit simplified, and I will probably use them for my one term A and P classes. I am going to contact McGraw-Hill Publishing to see if they will send me a review copy.This may seem as though I haven't done very much, but I wrote 6 syllabii this week and added case studies into all of them. Now I have to make it work! Wish me luck!!!

New Beginnings
Well...here's my first blog. Why am I starting this blog? I'm not sure, but I do know that one of my main objectives this term is to use case studies in my Anatomy and Physiology classes. This will require research and time that I, of course, don't have. Maybe I will keep track of my progress in this blog. If you have any recommendations on where to find A and P 1 and 2 case studies, please post them for me! I teach at the Community College level.Thanks,KC

Problem-based learning
I'm posting some new areas to visit for teaching science using case studies. I used the term "Problem-based learning" instead of case based or case histories. Check them out. K
