80sLeftover

I am also a "guinea pig" at a school who implemented this system. So far, the majority of our class is not happy with it. We feel vital information is left out, skills are not focused on (come on, we all NEED to know how to insert an IV!) and much of the learning is "dumbed down", such as drawing concept maps with colored pencils. I admit, I'm "old school," and a student nurse who is starting a second career, but even my younger classmates are struggling with this. For example, we are considered "seniors", and our senior-level patient care class involves us filling out worksheets in a group, using our textbooks and NO lecture. The teacher is not "allowed" to teach us; we can ask her questions as she's going around the room, but that's it. This is what I paid thousands of dollars for? This is nothing more than an online course! I could go on and on about what we've experienced, not a lot of it good, but I'm sure you'll have stories of your own. I know this is the "new thing" for many schools, but I am not a fan.
