Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), Teaching Strategies and Assessment Methods Co de Course Learning Outcomes Code Prog Teaching Strategies Assessment Methods 1.0 Knowledge and understanding 1.1 Explore various blood diseases, including anemias, leukemias, lymphomas, and bleeding disorders, while outlining common immunological diseases, their pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnosis, and complications, alongside understanding blood components, processing, storage, labeling protocols, blood donation, donor eligibility, and quality control measures in blood banks K2 Interactive Lectures (Intended to provide a solid foundation of knowledge on each topic while also stimulating students' curiosity for additional reading and exploration) Group discussion (Faculty will encourage questions, discussion, and critical thinking during each lecture) Case studies (will allow students to analyze lab result and provide accurate interpretation) Problem-based learning. - Final exams (MCQs) 1.2 Understand the workflow and procedures within a blood bank, K Co de Course Learning Outcomes Code Prog Teaching Strategies Assessment Methods including inventory management, product preparation, and regulatory compliance. Assignments 2.0 Skills 2.1 Gain practical skills in performing blood tests like CBC, peripheral blood smear analysis, and bone marrow aspirations, while investigating blood clotting mechanisms, mastering blood typing and crossmatching techniques for safe transfusion, and gaining practical skills in immunological testing for diagnosing immunological diseases S2 Practical laboratory sessions (hands-on experience will allow students to perform various blood bank tests to understand the practical implications of their theoretical knowledge) Case studies (will allow students to analyze lab result and provide accurate interpretation) Problem-based learning. Discussions during formal lectures and or seminars. Practical portfolio Lab reports designed to enable students to recognize, evaluate and challenge their own learning process. -Self-reflection is actively encouraged. - Practical exam - Objective Structured Practical Examinati on (OSPE) - Problem solving questions - Case Studies 2.2 Investigate the immune system's role in blood banking, including antibody identification and compatibility testing in complex cases. S3 3.0 Values, autonomy, and responsibility 3.1 Analyze patient data, interpret test results, and make informed decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment in hematological and immunological cases. V1 Assignment topics in Hematology and Blood Transfusion field Team work assignments and individual assignments requiring investigation using internet and library resources as a mean of developing self-study and interpersonal skills Encourage students to conduct individual and group-based literature reviews using online resources. This will not only enhance their understanding of the course content but also improve their research and critical analysis skills Oral Presentations: (Students will be required to orally discuss their research findings and essays) Assessment of group assignment includes a Component for individual contribution. -Capacity for independent study assessed in Individual assignments. 3.2 Adhere to protocols and regulations for safe blood bank practices, while exploring ethical dilemmas in blood donation, transfusion, and immunological testing and effective communication and teamwork V3 C.
