Pulmonary Pathophysiology for Pre-Clinical Students

Contributor: Binks

Publisher: Virginia Tech Publishing

Pulmonary Pathophysiology for Pre-Clinical Students is an undergraduate medical-level resource for foundational knowledge of pulmonary pathophysiology. This text is designed for a course pre-clinical undergraduate medical curriculum and it is aligned to USMLE(r) (United States Medical Licensing Examination) content guidelines. The text is meant to provide the essential information from these content areas in a concise format that would allow learner preparation to engage in an active classroom. Clinical correlates and additional application of content is intended to be provided in the classroom experience. The text assumes that the students will have an understanding of basic cardiovascular physiology that will be helpful to understand the content presented here. This resource should be assistive to the learner later in medical school and for exam preparation given the material is presented in a succinct manner, with a focus on high-yield concepts.

Who Teaches Writing

Contributors: Branson, Brooks, Cadman, Cephus, and Childers

Publisher: Oklahoma State University

Who Teaches Writing is an open teaching and learning resource being used in English Composition classes at Oklahoma State University. It was authored by contributors from Oklahoma State University and also includes invited chapters from faculty and staff at institutions both inside and outside of Oklahoma. Contributors include faculty from various departments, contingent faculty and staff, and graduate instructors. One purpose of the resource is to provide short, relatively jargon-free chapters geared toward undergraduate students taking First-Year Composition. Support for this project was provided in part by OpenOKState and Oklahoma State University Libraries.

Recipe Development and Modification: Textbook and Lab Manual

Publisher: University of Arkansas

This resource is being created to support an upper-division nutrition course. Course Description: Students will use existing research to identify foods with preventative and functional properties and apply that information to develop and modify recipes for improved nutritional quality and disease management. Learning Outcomes: Students who successfully complete the requirements for this course (lecture and lab) will be able to: • Compare and contrast various sources of nutritional information and be able to identify unsubstantiated health and nutrition claims. • Demonstrate how to locate, interpret, and use professional literature to make ethical, evidence-based decisions. • Evaluate original recipes for sensory and nutritional qualities. • Identify nutritional benefits and culinary applications of selected ingredients. • Establish goals for recipe modifications or substitutions with consideration of specific diseases or conditions. • Demonstrate an understanding of the recipe modification process and apply nutritional knowledge and skills to develop and modify recipes with consideration of the prevention and management of diet related diseases. • Test and evaluate sensory and nutritional qualities of food products
