The Course Objective: Students will critically evaluate real world problems, often with a personal context, through the application of acquired knowledge of neuroscience and critical thinking, resulting in a deep understanding of neurobiology and the development of critical thinking skills to an exemplary level.
The course objective can be tailored to different student populations by altering the degree of complexity of neuroscience content and critical thinking problems.
Four example learning objectives for the course are as follows, with the Bloom's assessment level in parentheses:
Learning Objective 1: After completing assigned readings and watching required videos the student will be able to explain one basic neurobiological aspect of the brain chosen from approved topics with 100% accuracy based on a detailed rubric. (Comprehension)
Learning Objective 2: After watching a required video lecture and completing research and reflection on a relevant neuropsychological disorder student will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the mind body connection. Students will complete and post into their scientific online learning journal their screencast-o-matic videos and individual research on a relevant neuropsychological disease to an exemplary level. (Application)
Learning Objective 3: After students have completed individual research and reflection, students will be broken up into teams to compare and contrast different proposed forms of brain maintenance. Work will be documented using wikispaces following a detailed rubric to an exemplary degree. (Synthesis and Evaluation)
Learning Objective 4: After completing assigned readings and watching required videos including a tutorial on concept mapping, student will utilize concept mapping software to map out a decision. The map will be based on knowledge of dual process theory, and the final product will include at least one paragraph critically evaluating that map based on a detailed rubric to an exemplary degree. (Evaluation)
