In revising his essay, Trevor engaged in strengthening his logic in developing and expressing ideas in language. We covered the weakness sweeping generalizations, absolutes, and identifying contradictions. We discussed the complexity of cause/effect relationships, such as major versus minor, or direct versus indirect.

Lesson Comments
Trevor's critical thinking and development are improving.
We compared population statistics and sample statistics and explored the relationship between the two sets. Then we worked on problems at the end of Chapter 7.
I showed an alternative notation for the binomial theorem, writing the expansion as a symmetric series and made some additional facts that simplify using the theorem for raising a binomial to a power. Then we worked on work assigned by Julie.

Trevor's attitude is fine. We accomplished quite a bit today.
discuss blood clots, thrombus, embolism, dot.
Outline the coagulation cascade and the clotting factors
discuss at what level the anticoagulants operate and how vit. k affects them

Lesson Comments
Objetive was to generate an appreciation of the complexity of the working systems and how they are affected by the anticoagulants.
trevor has insight into the complexities, and I think is seeing how nothing operates by itself. everything is dependent on some other factor.
We worked some example problems from the text in which we used both the Binomial Theorem and Pascal's Triangle to determine the coefficients of the terms of an expanded binomial.

Lesson Comments
Trevor's attitude is fine. He seemed to understand the material.
review basic chemistry of organic acids, saturated and unsaturated, and fatty acids
diagram glycerol and how it combines with fatty acids to form triglycerides.
relate triglycerides, specific proteins and cholesterol to lipoproteins.
discuss the difference in lipoproteins and how each functions in the transport of cholesterol
discuss how cholesterol is required by the body, its functions
using a diagram, outline the synthesis of cholesterol by the liver, the 19 steps, concentrating on the rate limiting step involving Hmg-Coa reductase inhibitors(statins)

Lesson Comments
Some basic chemistry review needed before beginning. This helped in the understanding of terms like saturated and unsaturated, as well as lipoproteins. trevor was active in the class discussion and wanted the review before the newer material.
