Principles of Biomedical Technology (Principles of Biomedical Science) · Catch-up day 7 of 14

Wed, Oct 21, 2026

Two things today. First, here is everything that was due since your last catch-up day, so you can see what you still owe and turn it in. Then the rest of the period is Research Track time.

Step 1 · Am I caught up?

Check what you have already turned in. Anything left unchecked is what today is for.

  • Thu, Oct 8, 2026 · Write the report CERFull investigative CER report: a clear cause-of-death claim, one piece of evidence cited from each of the four streams, a reasoning paragraph explaining how the evidence fits together to support the conclusion, a conflict-resolution sentence, and at least two limitations.
  • Mon, Oct 12, 2026 · Ethics of privacyWritten CER (3-5 sentences) arguing when patient privacy should yield to public-health needs, with a reference to HIPAA or mandatory reporting and a trust-based reasoning sentence.
  • Tue, Oct 13, 2026 · Vital signs practicalSimulated EMR record: all four vital signs with values, units, and normal range noted; one repeat measurement with both values compared; one limitation and one error source per technique.
  • Wed, Oct 14, 2026 · Analyze vital signsCER arguing whether your partner's vital signs suggest homeostasis is maintained, using Wednesday's EMR readings as evidence and connecting at least one reading to its homeostatic feedback mechanism in the reasoning.
  • Thu, Oct 15, 2026 · JCU bioethics 4: Euthanasia to reduce antibiotic useYour worksheet: the side you argued, your three strongest arguments, the opposing point you had to answer, and where you actually stand now.
  • Fri, Oct 16, 2026 · Ethics of monitoringWritten CER (3-5 sentences) arguing whether continuous wearable monitoring helps or harms patients, with a reference to patient autonomy in the reasoning.
  • Mon, Oct 19, 2026 · Bloodwork and rangesExit ticket: list three blood panel markers, their normal ranges with units, and one clinical condition associated with an out-of-range value for each.
  • Tue, Oct 20, 2026 · Simulated bloodwork dataSimulated bloodwork data table (all time points for glucose and cholesterol) and a labeled time-series graph for one marker with the normal range band marked and at least one annotated out-of-range point.

If you cannot get in, see Mr. Mendoza. Do not skip the work.

Were you out for any of these? You get two school days for every day you were absent, so this deadline moves with you.

If you are behind, review this first

Those days fed these parts of your end-of-course WebXam (072110). Heaviest first.

Step 2 · Research Track

The sessions picked out for Principles of Biomedical Technology (Principles of Biomedical Science) all sit earlier in the track, so this day does not name a new one. Open the track and take the next session you have not done. The case runs the length of this course.

Open the Research Track

Research Track work is enrichment, the same track your lessons link to. It does not replace anything on the checklist above.
