In the Introduction to Clinical Immunology course, the first unit is used to explain how the immune system works, when it is working properly. The purpose of this particular lesson is to introduce students to the immune system’s primary and secondary organs and how lymph fluid moves throughout the body. The students need to have a clear understanding of this material, because in the next several lessons we will be discussing the processes that occur in these organs.
I have chosen this lesson to try out a new teaching method called the flipped classroom. In this method, students are required to review the material before they come to class, so we can discuss the content and engage in active learning exercises while in the classroom. You can find the materials you need to prepare for class on this website.

My name is Mary Warden. I have a BS in molecular biology and an MS in medical technology. I am currently working on my PhD in instructional technology and design. I have been an instructor in USM's Medical Laboratory Science department for five years. I have also taught Immunology for five years. Before I started teaching, I worked in a medical research lab. While working in the research lab, I had the opportunity to work with many of the techniques and processes that we will discuss in this course.
In my five years of teaching I have found that my students learn best when they are able to work with the content being learned. Therefore, I incorporate active and problem based learning in my courses.
