Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)
The concepts and skills necessary to function in an immunohematology lab are difficult to grasp. One laboratory meeting a week does not allow enough time for the students to master these basic blood banking skills. An additional laboratory section per week would provide the necessary laboratory time needed to reach an acceptable competency level in key immunohematological skills at the AAS level of this discipline.
