Part I Part II Part III Part IV

At the end of each rotation, there will be an exam for you on WebCT. This will cover how you perform tests in the lab section, clinical correlation of results, and some problem solving questions.

Some affiliated labs will also give you an exam or quizzes, covering the same objectives. Their questions are likely to be directed toward THEIR instrumentation and THEIR procedures. It's a good idea to ask at the beginning of each clinical rotation whether the instructor will be giving you quizzes or exams beyond the one from Ferris State University.

Many labs also will assign "homework," which is designed to help you review your theoretical knowledge. Nobody remembers everything. Some of the exercises will come from the Ferris State University faculty. If the clinical instructors want you to hand in this material, you will be expected to do so, on time, just as you would on campus. You may or may not have time during your laboratory shift to work on these assignments.

This may seem like a lot of work to expect, in addition to the forty hours per week you're already spending in the lab. But remember: you have at least one big, expensive exam looming in your future. The more review you do, the better prepared you are to score well on this exam.
