The ProblemsThe ProblemsSome Students found they could
click through and get to the end without “thinking”
Doctors have to work in an imperfect world – test results don’t come back the minute you submit the paper work… what do you do while you are waiting?
The decision to move forward without enough information shouldn’t be rewarded

“I would want to see more genetics cases posted on TUSK. It was one thing to learn about modern clinical genetics procedures, but it was infinitely more interesting to see how they would be applied to actual cases (i.e. which tests are useful in which situations, what results might give you a positive diagnosis or might just allow you to rule one possibility out, etc.) “
“I was confused about when I gave the right answer or not. Or how "right" my answers were”
“I thought it was a good study tool. It was good practice for analyzing, incorporated a lot of the lecture material - making it feel very relevant - and it did all of this without adding to much pressure. It was good practice without being penalized for getting answers wrong. I definitely think you should continue to use this in the future.”
