Teaching Goal and New Creations
The overall goal in teaching is to lay a solid foundation in the knowledge of canine anatomy for the first year veterinary students, and to cultivate in them “self-directed learning”, “life-long learning”, and “critical-thinking” skills.
- Created two Web Sites in an effort to promote the environment for the “self-directed learning” skills in students
- Canine Topographic Anatomy, VM 520
- Equine Anatomy of the Thoracic Limb, VM 521
