[email protected] faculty.sdmiramar.edu/kpetti Pre-Travel Reading and Streaming Video Assignment Below is a commentary about the theoretical underpinnings of this course followed by a list of webpage- linked book chapters, journal readings, streaming internet videos, and a list of historic figures in anatomy. You are required to closely examine the below prior to our travel to Italy. While abroad, you must be prepared to discuss these ideas and academic resources. I will be leading several discussion sessions while in Italy, and it is imperative that you are prepared for the conversation. Additionally, if you do not closely look over the below readings and videos, you will have no context for our museum visits. The result will be an experience that is not as deep and rich as possible. Additionally, being unprepared and non- participatory in the discussions will adversely affect your grade. To help you prepare, I listed a series of questions and bullets I will use to drive the discussions. I also inserted many webpage Wiki links to supplement the readings. I urge you to look these over as well. As you read/watch these items, please take notes when appropriate so you will be able to contribute to the conversation and ask pertinent questions.
