Enhancing Engagement and Promoting Peer-Assisted Learning through the Impleme...Blackboard APAC
The higher education classroom is rapidly expanding beyond the limitations posed by brick and mortar buildings into the wide world of cyberspace. Constant accessibility to online information has created unrealistic expectations for academics to respond on demand to student questions. Course related enquiries have significantly increased due to the emergence of e-Learning and mobile devices. Academics are under increasing pressure to juggle large teaching loads whist maintaining a productive research output. This has led to an increased uptake of peer-assisted learning activities whereby students teach each other. Many questions from students could be answered by their peers. It is widely recognised that students learn more efficiently from their peers because it encourages independent, inquiry-based learning. An anonymous asynchronous online discussion board was introduced into the Blackboard platform for second year Science undergraduates as the primary source of student-student and student-academic communication. The authors will present a case study highlighting user statistics, student survey data and what they have learned from the experience.

This document summarizes chapter 17 on the special senses from a biology textbook. It describes the five special senses - taste, smell, vision, hearing, and balance. For each sense, it outlines the key sensory structures and mechanisms. For example, it explains that taste buds detect five basic flavors through receptor cells on the tongue, and that smell works via odor molecules binding to receptors in the nasal cavity. Vision involves light being focused on the retina, while hearing uses the outer, middle and inner ear to detect and transmit sound vibrations. Balance is mediated by structures in the inner ear that sense body movement and position.
This document discusses the autonomic nervous system. It notes that the autonomic nervous system has two divisions: sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic division is involved in the fight or flight response and activates processes like increased heart rate and blood pressure. The parasympathetic division induces the rest and digest response and decreases heart rate and activates digestion. The autonomic nervous system regulates automatic bodily functions and processes through cholinergic and adrenergic neurons that release acetylcholine or norepinephrine which act on target organs through nicotinic, muscarinic, alpha, and beta receptors.
This document provides an overview of the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. It describes the major parts of the brain including the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, and more. It discusses the circulation of blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord. The document also outlines the 12 pairs of cranial nerves and their functions in sensation and motor control. Key areas of the cerebral cortex involved in sensory and motor functions are identified as well.
The nervous system helps maintain homeostasis and control conditions within healthy limits. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system connects them to muscles, glands, and sensory receptors. Neurons are the basic functional units and communicate via electrical signals called action potentials. The document provides detailed information on the structure and function of neurons, neurotransmission, and regeneration capabilities after injury.
Skeletal muscles cause movement by exerting force through tendons attached to bones or other structures. There are three types of levers that determine how muscles generate movement based on the positions of the fulcrum, effort, and load. Muscle fibers are arranged in fascicles that determine the muscle's range of motion and power output. While individual muscles are often attributed to specific actions, movements usually result from groups of muscles working together as prime movers, antagonists, synergists, or fixators.
The document describes the bones that make up the upper and lower limbs. It discusses the following key points:
- The upper limb has two regions - the pectoral girdle which attaches the limb to the axial skeleton, and the free part which includes the bones of the arm, forearm, wrist and hand.
- The lower limb also has two regions - the single pelvic girdle which attaches the limb to the axial skeleton, and the free part which includes the bones of the thigh, leg, ankle and foot.
- Both limbs have long bones that make up the upper arm/thigh, two bones that form the forearm/leg, multiple wrist/ankle
This document discusses the classification and structure of different joint types. It begins by describing the three main structural classifications: fibrous joints which are held together by dense connective tissue and permit little movement; cartilaginous joints which are connected by cartilage and allow slight movement; and synovial joints which are connected by ligaments and contain a synovial cavity allowing free movement. It then focuses on synovial joints, describing their articular capsule, synovial fluid, accessory ligaments, blood and nerve supply, bursae, tendon sheaths and types including ball-and-socket, hinge, and pivot joints. Finally, it discusses the different types of movements that can occur at synovial joints
The integumentary system includes the skin, hair, nails, and glands. The skin is the largest organ of the body and has two main layers - the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis contains keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells. It has multiple layers that produce keratin to protect the body. The dermis lies below the epidermis and contains collagen, elastic fibers, and structures like hair follicles and sweat and oil glands. The skin regulates body temperature, protects the body, and has sensory functions.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Instructor Procedures and Institution Policies
Attendance: Students are expected to attend and participate in all class meetings,
laboratories, and field trips. A student who expects to be absent due to
another school-sponsored activity or compelling personal reason must
make prior arrangements with the instructor. All course work must be
made up as directed by the instructor. A student who does not adhere to
instructor and College attendance requirements may be dropped from
the course as defined in the Yavapai College General Catalog.
Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period closes, students may withdraw until the
deadline for student-initiated withdrawals. Withdrawals result in a "W"
on the permanent transcript.
For semester-length classes 14 weeks in length or longer, the withdrawal
deadline is October 15th
For classes of 4 days to 14 weeks in length, withdrawals are permitted
until the class is 50 percent completed.
For classes of 1-3 days in length, withdrawals are permitted until the
class is 50 percent completed.
A "Y" is noted on the permanent transcript for an administrative
withdrawal. More information can be obtained from the Admissions &
Registration Office.
Academic integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learning
environment. The presentation of another individual’s work as one’s
own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating,
plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the College’s
“Student Code of Conduct.” Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, and
violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the
Yavapai College General Catalog. All cell phones must be stowed
before beginning an assessment. The presence of a cell phone on a
5. student’s desk during an assessment will be construed as cheating and
the student will receive an F for the class. Any incident of cheating or
plagiarism on any assignment in the class will result in the student
receiving an F as their letter grade for the class.
Student code of conduct: Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property are
fundamental expectations for every student. The “Student Code of
Conduct” outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process for
responding to allegations of student misconduct.
Disability support services: YavapaiCollege is committed to providing educational support services
to students with documented disabilities. Academic support services or
accommodations for mobility impaired students must be arranged
through the ADA Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928.776.2079 or
Verde Valley Campus: (928.634.6563).
Cell phone and pager: YavapaiCollege is committed to providing a quality learning
environment. All cell phones and pagers must be placed in a non-
audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the
learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones and pagers must be used
outside these facilities.
Preventing Harassment: Students are expected to respond and write in a professional and
appropriate manner when activities are assigned to create scenarios,
discuss opinions, present on a selected subject, or post to a web board or
email. Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintain an
appropriate learning environment. Faculty have the professional
responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity and
respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the
manner in which they and their students express opinions. Professional
courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to
individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion,
politics, sexual orientation, gender variance and nationalities. All
correspondence between instructor and students and between individual
students must be of a professional nature. Any inappropriate language
(profanity) or correspondence of a threatening or harassing nature will
result in the student being immediately dropped from the class.
