Subject: Web based examinations

> Pathology. The entire course is web based.

> They are actually taking two courses via the Web. The other one is
> Sonographic Survey: Other Applications. In the Advanced OB course we
> (Genetic Counselors & myself) presented reading materials and Problem
> Based Case Studies. The students then participate in Forum & Email

> In the Other Applications course the method is slightly different. Each
