In 2018 you have 2 lectures to view prior to class and a paper to read. The links are to the podcast streaming video (in Kaltura), ppt files (no audio) and a pdf handout of slides are below:
(Podcast of Endocrinology of the Testis 73 min) (ppt file of the lecture) (PDF file of 6 slides/page)
(Podcast of the Epididymis and Sperm Maturation 33 min) (ppt file of the lecture) (PDF file of 6 slides/page)
Review Paper to read (Signaling pathways regulating blood-testis barriers... 2018) Better version of PDF for printing (Signaling_pathways_2018)
During the lecture period we will have a shorten lecture on effects of heat stress in the male with examples from research in Dr. Parrish's lab, further discussion on lectures prior to class and then a discussion of the review paper you are assigned to read. For the review paper discussion, I will show the figures and ask specific students to explain that figure. You must come prepared to discuss the figures if you are called upon.
This is an example of a active teacing class with a blended presentation format which you will be expected to draw conclusions about at the end of the class.
Useful material for the live lecture/discussion period. Note there are no audio files but you should consider printing some of these supporting documents and bringing them to class to take notes on. (ppt file of the lecture) (PDF file of 6 slides/page)
