What is your experience of work and what did you learn from this experience? This unit will enable you to reflect upon what you have learned from work and support you in improving how you learn at work. It will encourage you to think critically about work-based learning and review your own professional knowledge and skills.

Cervical Myelopathy - Sensory Exam - Superficial Sub-exam - Patient 13
This 46-year-old African American male presented with progressive weakness of the lower extremities for three months. He had increasing difficulty with walking and balance and now is unable to walk without assistance. He also complained of numbness and "pins and needles" sensation in the upper extremities with clumsiness and decreased dexterity in his right hand.

Spastic Paraplegia - Reflexes Exam - Muscle Stretch Sub-exam - Patient 5
This video features a 54-year-old white male with a history of spastic paraplegia (diagnosed in 1994) and no previous history of heart disease or cardiac workup. He presented to the Emergency Room complaining of three days on-and-off retrosternal chest pain. Clinical history: Patient presented to the ER complaining of three days on-and-off retrosternal chest pain, rated 3/10, lasting approximately 30 minutes, occurring multiple times daily at rest or during activity.

Multiple Sclerosis - Cranial Nerves Exam - Hypoglossal (CN XII) Sub-exam - Patient 21
This is a 52-year-old white male with a history of bilateral optic neuritis presenting in his twenties who now reports polyextremity sensory motor disturbance. He also has diabetes. The patient reports bilateral upper and right lower extremity sensory and motor disturbance with a band-like sensation about his torso for the past 1-2 months.
Predator-Prey Simulation Exercises for the Classroom
This exercise is used to demonstrate ecological interactions. No live animals are used and is performed with very simple equipment peg boards, wooden partitions, wooden dowels, beans, blindfolds.
Plants That Aren't Plants: Mosses and Lichens
Mosses and lichens are not given much attention in introductory biology laboratory courses, in part because instructors lack skills necessary to cover the topic-namely, moss leaf cross sectioning and lichen chemical spot tests. Acquiring confidence in just these two techniques, as well as familiarity with basic terminology, lays a foundation for further investigation.
Plant Tissue Culture Systems as Instructional Tools in the Biological Sciences
To introduce students to basic techniques of plant tissue culture and determine the effects of amino acids on growth of carrot or corn plant callus.
Phylogenetic Systematics: Developing an Hypothesis of Amniote Relationships
Biodiversity studies begin with patterns of evolutionary diversification, made possible by phylogenetic systematics. Phylogenetics clusters species into groups depicting their common ancestry based on shared derived characters unique to that group. It is quantifiable, reproducible, and scientifically testable, and has three assumptions: evolution has occurred, there is a single phylogeny of life resulting from evolutionary diversification, and characteristics are passed from generation to genera
Goldfish external anatomy
Goldfish live in the water. They use their gills to breathe. Goldfish swim in water to move around. This goldfish has pectoral fins, pelvic fins, anal fins, and dorsal fins that it uses to swim. The tail is used to steer the goldfish wherever it is going.
Goldfish and guppies
Goldfish and guppies both live in water. They both have gills, fins, tails, and scales. They both like to hide in water plants like elodea. Male and female guppies are easy to tell apart because the males are more brightly colored.
Geranium bloom
Time-lapse photos or video show progressions from the start of an event to the end of the event. These time-lapse photos illustrate the opening of a geranium flower to absorb sunlight. Biological processes require time.
Plan B: Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble
The Berkeley Institute of the Environment announces its first annual Distinguished Lecture, featuring Lester R. Brown.
Mr. Brown has been called "one of the planet's most important thinkers" and a "guru of the environmental movement." He is founder of the Worldwatch Institute and the Earth Policy Institute, and author or co-author of 50 books related to the environment.
Using composite materials to replace bone
In this podcast, Professor Chris Rudd, Dean of the faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham, describes his work with composite materials in the car industry and how it can be applied to the field of medicine.
Traditionally, patients who have lost bone in an accident or have had bone removed due to cancer have had to endure two very long and very painful operations. One operation to attach steel plates to the bone, and a second operation once the bone has healed, to remove them.

What is a Profile?
Using TIG profiles as an entry point, this activity explores a broader theme of "profiling" to enable students to examine how they present themselves, as well as cultural perceptions and biases within themselves, their peers, and their community. Students will read TIG profiles and Member Stories, with the objective of better understanding others' perspectives to critically reflect and write about their own identity.
