| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2015 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | A Micro-video System equipped with a Flat Screen Monitor has proved most useful to students in Anatomy and Physiology Labs in Middletown and Newburgh. Instructors teaching Introduction to Biology at Newburgh strongly advocate for a similar system to be used in acquainting their students with the detail of cellular, tissue, and organ structure essential learning objectives of the course. This is one of the most difficult concepts for students to master and the ability for the instructor to demonstrate tissue architecture to the group through this medium will be most helpful. It is hoped that this will greatly contribute to student success in this pivotal gateway course for pre-health profession students. |

| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Student performance/success in Introduction to Biology (BIO 110) labs will be compromised. Cell/tissue/organ structure is one of the most challenging aspects of this course and the ability to project microscopic images for all to see will greatly enhance student performance. |
