Pathology of the nervous, circulatory & integumentary systems

Hi all,

We're into a new phase of pathology this week. To celebrate, I'll be hosting two elluminate sessions.

Weekly tasks

1. Elluminate - Monday 15 June, 3-5pm
   Neuropathology
   
   
2. Elluminate - Thursday 18 June, 1-3pm
   Pathology of the circulatory & integumentary systems
   Your condition 2
   
   
3. Also don't forget, your peer review of your classmates posts is due on Friday.
   

See you in there.

Pathology condition 1 peer review

I've now marked your Pathology condition 1 posts.

The next stage of the process is for you to read & peer review the posts of each of your classmates. The following students are enrolled in this course

• Debbie
• Simon
• Tessa
• Hannah
• Kath
• Victoria

While reading their posts, you are required to give them a rating based on

• Usability (out of 10) - how easy would it be for you to find the information you would need from reading this post if a client was to come to see you with this condition?
• Clarity of writing (out of 5) - how easy is it for you to understand what the post is saying?
  

Once you're read the posts of each of your classmates, send an email to me with their ratings. You must do this by 12 June at the latest (although earlier is fine by me).

I will get your final grade to you once everyone's sent their peer-review email into me.

Condition 1 - final due this week
