***I wanted to say a special thank you to the Michigan State University’s Graduate School for awarding us a Research Enhancement Award. This award allowed us to reimburse survey participants for their time and partially fund travel expenses for the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) conference to present this research in 2025.
Summary: This project aims to understand student perceptions of learning in ANTR 355: Human Gross Anatomy Lab during the 2023-2024 school year. To do this, we created a Qualitrics survey asking students about their use of study resources before and after exam 1. Exam 1 is used as a marker as the outcome of the first exam often informs students about their study habits, which may then be modified for later exams. Students can utilize several types of course resources (i.e., pre-laboratory assignments, radiology extra credit assignments, lab guides, etc.), and understanding what resources students use can help inform future class assignments and provide evidence to students of best practices for success. The hypothesis was that study habits change after the first exam and that students utilize course resources more effectively as the course progresses.
This study has been determined to be exempt under 45 CFR 46.104(d) 1.
