Extra-credit reserve track

These units are not on the in-class calendar or any in-class test. They unlock once the class finishes Unit 2, then stay open for the rest of the term so you can go further for extra credit on your own schedule. You will know they are open when an Extra Credit section appears at the bottom of your daily lesson pages. Every hands-on step has a virtual lab, and everything is submitted on Schoology.

#1MondayInnovation debate

🎯 Debate which criteria should decide whether a medical innovation is worth pursuing.

  1. 1Prepare two questions about evaluating a medical innovation.
  2. 2Draft a CER position on the most important decision criterion.
  3. 3Debate with peers and record an opposing criterion.
  4. 4Connect the criterion to your own proposed innovation.
  5. 5Submit two questions, one CER contribution, and a reflection.
You'll be able to
  • You can argue which criterion should drive innovation choices.
  • You can apply the criterion to your own idea.
