A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) was created at Georgia Gwinnett College consisting of course coordinators for the five pre-nursing track courses: Survey of Chemistry I and II, Anatomy and Physiology I and II, and Microbiology. A primary goal is to inspect and align the course content for maximal student learning and future success in health care or related professions. The FLC analyzed the progression of topics within these five courses, looking for areas of overlap, repetition, and problematic sequencing. We have identified misconceptions amongst faculty teaching regarding topics included in pre-requisite courses. We will continue to discover critical connections between courses that will harmonize course design and delivery in substantive ways. Improvements to the sequencing of course content is expected to create a stronger learning environment for students following this track and prepare students for success. In the future, the FLC will also examine topics for potential progressive learning projects or case studies that could connect student learning across these courses and promote interdisciplinary learning.
