This will be a small class of 20 students who will make use of recorded lecture captures (rather than attending the actual lecture) followed by small group exploration of the material via case studies, extra problem sets and examples, detailed examination of tissue and body part illustrations, and open discussion of the material. This mimics the successful hybrid section of our sister program, the Special Masters in Physiology at Georgetown. cos.gmu.edu/georgesquared gsquared@gmu.edu
