The section introductions in LabSim and the lesson plans list the objectives that
are met for each of the exams in that section.
The following icons are placed in front of lesson items in LabSim to help students
quickly recognize the items in each section:
= Demonstration
= Exam
= Lab/Simulation
= Text lesson or fact sheet
= Video
The video and demonstration icons are used throughout the lesson plans to help
instructors differentiate between the timing for the videos and demonstrations.
In the lesson plans the Total Time for each section is calculated by adding the
approximate time for each section which is calculated using the following
elements:




Video/demo times
Approximate time to read the text lesson (the length of each text lesson is
taken into consideration)
Simulations (5 minutes is assigned per simulation. This is the amount of
time it would take for a knowledgeable student to complete the lab activity.
Plan that the new students will take much longer than this depending upon
their knowledge level and computer experience.)
Questions (1 minute per question)
Note: Appendix A: Approximate Time for the Course contains the
