Current Course Number 4414

MLS 4414 - Laboratory Teaching and Supervision I (2) Campus** - F; Online** - Su, F, Sp On Campus: Students will apply sound instructional and pedagogical theory by writing learning objectives. The learning objectives will then apply to an instructional unit on a MLS topic of their choice which they prepare and present to the class. Each student will also participate as a laboratory teaching assistant (TA) in a MLS laboratory section assisting the faculty in the administration of the laboratory instruction. Each student will be assigned to a MLS course laboratory section in which expected behavior includes: active participation in laboratory teaching, demonstration of procedures, preparation of laboratory teaching materials and assisting laboratory faculty and students where ever needed. Online: Students are expected to apply sound educational and performance evaluation strategies set forth in MLS 3302. Students also are presented the opportunity to refine their interpersonal skills through a teaching/learning process specifically designed for the medical laboratory scientist. Prerequisite: MLS 3302. **Acceptance into the MLS BS Program required

Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):

MLS 4415 - Laboratory Teaching and Supervision

(3) Campus** - F, Sp; Online** - Su, F, Sp

On Campus:Students will learn basic instructional and pedagogical theory as it applies to the field of medical laboratory science. Theory will be applied through collaborative learning and short presentations, as well as laboratory employee in-service training projects. Basic principles and applications of running a medical laboratory to include system approaches to management, leadership of groups, human resource management, and technical supervision will also be covered. Concepts will be reinforced through case study analysis and online discussions. Campus students will also participate as laboratory assistants in at least two lower division MLS courses, assisting the faculty in the administration of laboratory instruction, and applying instructional skills one-on-one with students entering the MLS program. Online: Students fulfill the laboratory requirement by completing a series of management projects specifically designed for the laboratory provided in their clinical rotation. **Acceptance into the MLS BS Program required

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.)

MLS 4415 combines MLS 4414 (2 credit hours) and MLS 4417 (1 credit hour) into one 3 credit hour course. This will be a required course for BS Track I students (concentration 2040) but not for BS Track II students.
