EKG Interpretation Syllabus for Fall Online Delivery |
|
1) Each week we will have EKG topical content which I will discuss with written information and short Youtube videos. There will be ONE WEB PAGE link for you to follow for each week (See below).
2) Every student will work at her/his OWN pace, on your own time, through each week's content.
3) At the end of the content for each week is an OPEN NOTE Exam, from the content that I provide you for that week.
4) Each Weekly Exam is due by the Friday of that week at midnight (no late papers accepted). The 'weight' of each exam is shown in the course syllabus.
5) EKG One-on-One with Dr. Kravitz via ZOOM. Class, EKG can sometimes be confusing, particlarly with the advanced rhythms we study. If you wish additional assistance with any topic email Dr. Kravitz (lkravitz@unm.edu) to set up a ZOOM meeting.
