Read chapter 1 in the STEM book. You will use this to start to generate possible ideas for your own research project. Remember that you will be designing your own research project next year and continue that into your junior year. This will help you start that process.
Answer the chapter questions on page 11. For question #3, you should complete the Student Handout #1 on page 14 for each of your top three research ideas. Therefore, in the end, you will have 3 different possible research ideas and 3 completed Student Handout #1 sheets (pg. 14) – one Student Handout for each idea.

You will have a practical examination on your ability to differentiate and diagnose problems at the following spinal cord levels: C-5, C-6, C-7, C-8, T-1, L-4, L-5, S-1. You must know how to test the muscle, dermatome and reflex associated with each cord level as instructed in class. (note that some cord levels do not have an associated reflex) You will actually perform these tests on a patient (me) and be graded on both your knowledge and ability to perform muscle, sensory and reflex testing. You will also be questioned on the scales used to grade muscles and reflexes. Testing will take place on December 10, 11, and 12 – you will signup for a particular time slot on a sheet posted in the classroom.
