Anatomy of Trust: Promoting Integrity in A&P Education | Winter Shorts | TAPP 146
Episode 146 of The A&P Professor podcast is one of our winter shorts, where I replay interesting segments from previous episodes. In this one, we discuss the importance of academic integrity in the Anatomy & Physiology course. We emphasize the need to incorporate discussions about integrity in the syllabus and course materials and share real-life examples of violations in the healthcare field. We highlight how dishonesty can have serious consequences and discuss strategies for prevention, such as using multiple test versions and unique topics for papers/projects. Providing examples of acceptable practices and discouraging unethical behavior foster a culture of integrity. We invite listeners to contribute their own strategies for promoting academic integrity. 00:00 | Introduction 01:07 | Academic Integrity in Anatomy & Physiology 29:39 | Modeling Professional Integrity 38:34 | Staying Connected ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please rate & review this podcast so that others can decide whether to give it a try: ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on , , , , , or ! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the once-or-twice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates Guess what? this is one of our winter shorts! Yep, that's right, it's a shorter-than-usual episode in which I present one or two, or maybe three or four, classic, evergreen segments from previous episodes that are remastered, reconstituted, and recycled for your listening and learning pleasure. But mainly it's to give me a break for self-care over the holiday season. We'll be back to our regular programming in late January. Academic Integrity in Anatomy & Physiology 28.5 minutes One way to approach “the cheating issue” in our courses is to promote a culture of academic honesty from the start. But how do we do that? Kevin shares some practical tips you can use for a comprehensive approach to creating and maintaining a culture of professional and academic integrity in your A&P courses (or any courses, really). This segment was first heard in Episode 25. ★ (the original broadcast of this segment) ★ What the Best College Teachers Do (the Ken Bain book mentioned in this episode) ★ (includes the syllabus episode mentioned several times in this podcast) ★ (A special topic page at The A&P Professor website; includes additional information and links to resources) ★ Why be honest? (about academic integrity; for students) ★ Kevin’s Academic Integrity statement (This is a statement I have used in my course syllabi. You are welcome to adapt it according to your own course and institution’s needs. It’s an example to get you thinking about actively promoting honesty.) ★ Kevin’ Academic Integrity Case Study handout/activity (This document is an example of an in-class activity that I use to promote discussion of academic integrity. It’s a handout used for small group discussions. You can adapt it to fit your needs, per the attribution/share-alike license enclosed in the document.) ★ Frank O’Neill @growgraymatter (Turn on your “Frank O’Neill filter.”) ★ Using copyrightable materials in teaching (Some good practical advice from the University of Minnesota Libraries. But ask your own librarians for help. And don’t forget, I’ve got an upcoming episode with an expert!) ★ (this seminar at The A&P Professor website shows you how I use Respondus test editor, one of many available test editors that can also easily produce multiple versions of a test) ★ (the episode where I focused on “that empathy thing”) ★ Cheating in College: Why Students Do It and What Educators Can Do about It (a book you might find to be helpful) ★ (this is that "later" episode mentioned in this segment) ★ ★ addresses issues regarding academic integrity ★ includes some discussion of academic integrity ★ Please call in with your ideas and tips for promoting academic integrity: 1-833-LION-DEN or 1-833-546-6336 [email protected] Note that this segment was produced years before ChatGPT and similar chatbots existed. But the principles remain the same. ★ (an episode produced just as ChatGPT was rolling out and being discovered by students) ★ Can I use AI for my assignment? (example snippet from an integrity handout I used in a graduate program for training anatomy & physiology faculty that specifically address the use of AI tools) Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ Modeling Professional Integrity 9.5 minutes Greg Crowther, whose song was featured in episode 25, calls in with an important point about modeling professional integrity for students: we should always cite the work of others. Yikes, look at the trouble that MIT and other elite universities are having right now! Whether we are using material legally is a separate issue. If we tell students they are plagiarizing if they don’t cite others’ works, then we are hypocrites if we don’t model that behavior ourselves. This segment was first heard in Episode 26. Kevin mentions some other benefits of consistently citing the work we use in our courses. ★ (the original broadcast of this episode) ★ The HAPI graduate program in which Kevin teaches ★ (a media expert explains best practices) ★ Billionaire launches plagiarism detection effort against MIT president and all its faculty (article in Science about current issues) ★ Plagiarism problems: What constitutes plagiarism?

The One Teaching Strategy That Will Fix Your Anatomy & Physiology Course | TAPP 143
In episode 143 of The A&P Professor podcast for anatomy and physiology faculty, host Kevin Patton uncovers the super-secret, single, ultimate teaching strategy you need to keep your course tuned up and effective. He also revisits the "out there" transducer model of the brain and suggests a connection with a recent discovery supporting quantum wave activity in brain cell microtubules. Yes, quantum waves in the microtubules. Kevin also clarifies and expands on those wacky "extra" courses he described in Episodes 140 and 141. 00:00 | Introduction 00:51 | Clarifying Kevin's Wacky Supplemental Courses 15:50 | Quantum Activity in Brain Microtubules? 28:15 | Could There Be More Than One Strategy? 34:29 | The TAPP Hotline 35:11 | There Really Is Only One Strategy 48:00 | Staying Connected ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please rate & review this podcast so that others can decide whether to give it a try: ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on , , , , , or ! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the once-or-twice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates Clarifying Kevin's Wacky Supplemental Courses 15 minutes In this segment, Kevin clarifies nuances from Episodes 140 & 141. He dives into the evolution of his "wacky grading" approach and reflects on the significance of end-of-semester debriefings—then explores the impact of badges within a courses. Kevin also uncovers the value of persistence, confidence-building, and teacher generosity. ★ ★ ★ ★ Course Materials in AP 1 Supplement in Ep 141 ★ (introduces the idea of debriefing at the end of the semester) ★ (about being present to students) Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ Quantum Activity in Brain Microtubules? 12.5 minutes In a previous episode, Kevin introduced the "transducer model" of the brain, comparing it to a mobile phone accessing external servers. In this segment, he briefly explains the "Orch OR" theory that proposes consciousness occurs as quantum waves in the microtubules of brain neurons. Quantum properties such as superposition could explain how the brain works as a transducer. Recent investigation counters the argument that quantum waves would break down in the warm, wet microtubules. ★ ★ Consciousness in the universe: A review of the ‘Orch OR’ theory (Section 5.1. Quantum computing in the brain from an article in the journal Physics of Life Reviews) ★ Sir Roger Penrose & Dr. Stuart Hameroff: CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE PHYSICS OF THE BRAIN (YouTube video; more than you ever wanted to know about this topic) ★ Your Very Own Consciousness Can Interact With the Whole Universe, Scientists Believe (recent report from Popular Mecanics) ★ Electronic Energy Migration in Microtubules (from the journal ACS Central Science) ★ Quantum Physics Could Finally Explain Consciousness, Scientists Say (a previous report from Popular Mechanics) Could There Be More Than One Strategy? 6 minutes A&P instructors often wonder if their courses need a revamp. While no universal teaching strategy guarantees success, the art of teaching lies in choosing the right mix of time-tested and modern techniques. Drawing from personal experiences, Kevin highlights the journey of discovering, adapting, and refining various strategies to boost student outcomes. ★ An Effective Instructional Strategies Approach in Higher Education: A Pilot Investigation (study from International Journal of Higher Education) ★ Top 6 Teaching Strategies Adopted By Higher-ed Institutions Post-Covid ★ Top 10 evidence-based teaching strategies The TAPP Hotline 0.5 minutes What's your favorite teaching strategy or combination of strategies for the anatomy and physiology course? Share it with us on the podcast hotline! 1-833-LION-DEN 1-833-546-6336 Or [email protected] There Really Is Only One Strategy 13 minutes Addressing the quest for the single, ultimate course-fix strategy, the emphasis is on flexibility in continually trying new things to improve a course. From age-old techniques to fresh, experimental approaches, being open to all strategies is really that "one" key to teaching and student success. Uniformity demanded by rigid course templates or official, designated courses can be limiting to course and instructor improvement over time—and can be harmful (such as failing to nurture uncertainty tolerance). ★ Dramatic music ★ ★ People Production: Aileen Park (announcer), (theme composer, recording artist), Karen Turner (Executive Editor), Kevin Patton (writer, editor, producer, host).

Pre-A&P: A Refresher for Student Success in Anatomy & Physiology | TAPP 140
In episode 140, we introduce the development of the pre-A&P course and the A&P1 Supplement course. These courses address the challenges faced by A&P students and improve their readiness and comprehension. In this first of two episodes, we focus on the pre-A&P course. It focuses on filling subject knowledge gaps with 10 modules and cumulative tests. Student surveys and studies show its effectiveness in achieving higher grades in the A&P 1 course. Implementing these nontraditional courses requires collaboration and support from advisors and faculty members. Together, we aim to bridge the gap in subject preparation and learning skills for student success. 0:00:00 | Introduction 0:00:49 | Pre-A&P 0:22:37 | Course Design 0:39:51 | More About Module Tests 0:52:38 | Other Course Features 1:09:51 | Wrapping Up 1:21:10 | Staying Connected ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please rate & review this podcast so that others can decide whether to give it a try: ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on , , , , , or ! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the once-or-twice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation. () Pre-A&P 21.5 minutes We delve into the reasons behind developing the Pre-A&P and A&P 1 Supplement courses. We identify two major challenges faced by incoming A&P students: lack of subject preparation and insufficient learning skills. To combat these obstacles, the Pre-A&P course was created as a self-paced online refresher. It covers fundamental science topics like cell biology, metabolism, genetics, and body organization—thus helping students fill knowledge gaps. The A&P1 Supplement course, focused on developing more effective learning skills, will be the subject of the next episode. ★ Pre-A&P: Foundations in Science (online course syllabus for Kevin's BIO 095 course) ★ Pre-A&P course description (from the college website) ★ ★ (an on-demand seminar summarizing these two courses) Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ Course Design 17 minutes In this segment, Kevin discusses the 10 modules of his Pre-A&P course, which cover essential concepts for success in anatomy and physiology. The modules include foundational topics such as science basics, introductory and biological chemistry, cell structure and function, cell transport, metabolism, protein synthesis, genetics, tissues, and the human body. Students take cumulative tests for each module and must score 85% or higher to unlock the next module.

Kevin emphasizes that the tests serve as retrieval practice, despite some controversy around the term. The tests are highly randomized to prevent cheating, and immediate feedback is provided through automatic scoring. The tests are untimed, promoting equity and accommodating students with various needs and circumstances. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (on-demand seminar) ★ ★ Retrieval practice is not a test (so stop calling it that) (um, okay, whatever) Other Course Features 17 minutes This segment summarizes other course features, which include student understanding quizzes to ensure comprehension of key course aspects, badges as motivators and credentials, and supportive announcements to remind and guide students throughout the self-paced course. ★ ★ About Universal Design for Learning (UDL is mentioned in this segment) ★ Quality Matters (QM is mentioned in this segment) ★ BIO 095 Student Understanding (the 9 items that students must verify that they understand) ★ ★ ★ ★ (Kevin's advice and tips) ★ BIO 095 (Kevin's video orientation for Pre-A&P) ★ ★ Earning Badges in BIO 095 (from Kevin's syllabus) ★ Pre-A&P Badges (page outline how badges work and listing details of each badge) ★ ★ (the value of scheduled, supportive announcements is discussed) Wrapping Up 11.5 minutes This segment discusses the effectiveness of the Pre-A&P course in filling in the gaps and providing students with the confidence they need for success in A&P. Student surveys indicate high satisfaction and recommendation rates. A study showed that students who took the Pre-A&P course performed better in their A&P course. While there are challenges and hurdles to overcome in implementing such a course, it serves as a valuable bridge between prerequisites and rigorous college courses. ⚠ CORRECTION: It’s actually a .75 (or 3/4 of a letter grade) bump for A&P 1 students who took the pre-A&P course—not half a letter grade as stated in the audio. ★ ★ Too Many Students Placed in Remedial Courses?

Thinking New Thoughts about the Human Brain | TAPP 139
In Episode 139, we explore a new discovery in nerve signaling in the brain called a dendritic action potential (dCaAP), we look at a whacky proposed model of brain function, and we share some ideas about how we can help our students understand the core concepts of chemical signaling and signal transduction in different contexts. Put on your thinking caps and jump into this fresh episode now. 00:00 | Introduction 00:50 | Dendritic Action Potentials 12:16 | Transducer Model of the Brain 21:43 | Chemical Signals & Signal Transduction 35:09 | Staying Connected ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please rate & review this podcast so that others can decide whether to give it a try: ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on , , , , , or ! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the once-or-twice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates The adage that fact is stranger than fiction seems to be especially true for the workings of the brain. () Dendritic Action Potentials 11.5 minutes In this segment, the focus is on a fascinating discovery about nerve signaling related to dendritic action potentials (dCaAPs). These unique potentials occur in layers two and three of the human cerebral cortex and play a role in complex brain functions. Unlike typical action potentials, dendritic action potentials are graded and produced by the influx of calcium ions. They enable processing and decision-making at a more complex level, expanding our understanding of the human brain's uniqueness. ★ Scientists Uncover a Never-Before-Seen Type of Signal Occurring in The Human Brain (plain English summary of the new discovery from Science Alert) ★ Dendritic action potentials and computation in human layer 2/3 cortical neurons (report in Science) Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ Transducer Model of the Brain 9.5 minutes Join us in this segment as we challenge conventional models of the brain and introduce the transducer model. Inspired by psychologist Robert Epstein, this thought-provoking model likens the brain to a two-way transducer, sending and retrieving information like a mobile phone accessing external servers. While it may sound far-fetched—even quite wacky—the transducer model encourages us to explore alternative perspectives and consider the possibility of information exchange beyond the confines of the brain. ★ Your Brain Is Not a Computer. It Is a Transducer. (essay by Robert Epstein about neural transduction theory in Discover Magazine) ★ Brain as Transducer: What if the brain is not a self-contained information processor? What if it is simply a transducer? (another essay by Robert Epstein in the transducer model) ★ Brain Waves Synchronize when People Interact (article from Scientific American) ★ Chemical Signals & Signal Transduction 13.5 minutes Chemical signaling and signal transduction play a crucial role in various systems of the human body. Understanding the connections and similarities between nervous and endocrine signaling helps students grasp these core concepts more deeply. By highlighting structures, functional aspects, and regulatory effects, instructors can foster a comprehensive understanding of chemical signals and the transduction of those signals. Exploring these core concepts within a broader context enhances students' ability to connect and apply their knowledge across different topics. Kevin gives examples of how he approaches this in his courses. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ People Production: Aileen Park (announcer), (theme composer, recording artist), team (transcription), Karen Turner (Executive Editor), Kevin Patton (writer, editor, producer, host).

() Tattoos May Impair Sweating 5 minutes It's interesting to see how tattoos can have an impact on our skin and sweat glands. Tattoos involve mechanical stress and potential damage to the skin, and new research suggests that they may negatively affect the sweat glands, impairing sweating in the area of the tattoo. This reduction in sweating is called anhidrosis, which can impact our ability to maintain body temperature and potentially lead to severe conditions such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. While this is still a preliminary study and more research needs to be done, it's a great example of how discussing real-life applications of anatomy and physiology concepts, such as tattoos, can engage students and make the information more relatable and interesting. ★ Tattooed Skin Negatively Impacts Sweat Gland Function (summary article from Science Times) ★ Skin tattooing impairs sweating during passive whole body heating (research article from Journal of Applied Physiology) ★ Sweating and body odor (article from Mayo Clinic) https://aandp.info/9cg Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ Sponsored by AAA 61 seconds A searchable transcript for this episode, as well as the captioned audiogram of this episode, are sponsored by the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) at . ★ ★ Anatomical Sciences Education: Early View (articles you can read before they are published in an issue of ASE) Don't forget—HAPS members get a deep discount on AAA membership! Aural Diversity. It's a Thing. 16 minutes In this segment, host Kevin Patton talks about aural diversity, which refers to variations in hearing ability among people. He explains that understanding aural diversity is important for teachers because it helps them reach all of their students, who may have different hearing abilities. Kevin also notes that he has a hearing impairment himself, and that many other people do as well. He offers some strategies for communicating with people who have hearing impairments, such as repeating things louder, more slowly, and with exaggerated annunciation. Kevin emphasizes that it's important for people to be aware of aural diversity so that they can provide help and support to those who need it. ★ The world is built for people with perfect hearing — but 83% of people don't have it (segment on St. Louis Public Radio) ★ Aural Diversity (website all about aural diversity) ★ Aural Diversity Infographic ★ Workshop on aural diversity (video from auraldiversity.org) ★ Auphonic (online sound processing to make your educational media loud enough and clear enough for all students) https://aandp.info/auphonic [this is my affiliate link] ★ What Is LUFS, and Why Should I Care?

The Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT) offers a variety of professional development programs for helping challenged students, and we are interested in these strategies for neurodiverse learners because they often work well for all students. A strong memory is one that is durable, flexible, and involves desirable difficulty to learn. Deep elaboration is the act of adding more information to existing information to create a more complex whole, which involves asking questions that help build deep explanations of core concepts. This approach focuses on the underlying principles and causes of the material being studied and involves a mechanistic approach rather than a teleological approach. ★ Fostering Deep Elaboration: A “trick” for Getting Info to Stick in Memory (training from Landmark College) ★ Organizing Instruction and Study to Improve Student Learning A Practice Guide (free, downloadable book with many strategies [#7 is deep elaboration] aandp.info/fcs ★ Twelve tips for optimising medical student retention of anatomy (article from Medical Teacher)https://aandp.info/55l ★ Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT pioneers LD research, discovers innovative strategies and practices, and improves teaching and learning outcomes for students with learning disabilities (like dyslexia), ADHD, and autism, and educators in high school and college settings.) ★ (Episode 78) Sponsored by HAPS 55 seconds The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast.

The think-aloud process involves telling themselves or being told to stop and think about why certain concepts or facts work the way they do, and to explain them out loud, write them down, or draw pictures to help reinforce the understanding. By doing so, students can identify where they are weak and need to ask more questions, and create an explanation or self-explanation for themselves. This process can also help students connect new concepts to their existing framework of knowledge and make future connections. We also suggest using concept mapping and running concept lists as physical ways to record and reinforce the think aloud process. Finally, we suggest asking deep questions that intentionally take students deeper than simple facts, such as elaborative interrogation, to better understand the why and logic behind the concepts they are learning. ★ Developing Intercultural Sensitivity (book chapter from The Handbook of Intercultural training; expands on concepts of intercultural sensitivity spectrum discussed in this segment) ★ Uncertainty-Identity Theory (paper from Advances in Experimental Social Psychology) People Production: Aileen Park (announcer), (theme composer, recording artist), team (transcription), Karen Turner (Executive Editor), Kevin Patton (writer, editor, producer, host).

Ten Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells | A Forest in My Office | TAPP 126
We list ten things that we often forget to tell—or remind—our students about cells. We learn how to create a peaceful forest-like retreat in our office using soundscapes, I get my winter shorts ready (seriously), and Margaret Reece comments about teaching urinary concepts.

Anatomy & Physiology: Combo or Split? | Journal Club with Krista Rompolski | TAPP 124
Dr. Krista Rompolski joins us for a Journal Club episode discussing a study regarding whether it's best to have a separate anatomy course followed by a physiology course, or to combine anatomy & physiology into an integrated two-semester sequence.

All the facts, with no filler. ★ Student preference for course approach to pedagogically different methodologies in anatomy and physiology (article from Advances in Physiology Education) Long-Term Retention Sucks Either Way 12.5 minutes Which is better? Anatomy, then Physiology—or combined Anatomy & Physiology?> Let's face it, as Krista points out in this segment, long-term retention sucks either way.
