LBS231 INTERNAL DISEASES COURSE ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY PROGRAM (ADAP) IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
1. Scope of Application: "Case Analysis"
Group work topic determined to develop the skills of Laboratory and Veterinary Health Program students in evaluating clinical signs of diseases in animals, identifying potential diseases, developing diagnostic approaches, and evaluating disease treatment and prevention methods:
-
Topic: "Clinical Case Analysis and Diagnostic Approach for Internal Diseases in Animals."
-
Content: Each group will analyze the clinical case scenario assigned to them under the structured headings below and prepare a case evaluation report:
-
Summary of the Case and Evaluation of Clinical Signs
-
Clinical Examination and Evaluation of Findings
-
Determination of Potential Diseases and Differential Diagnosis
-
Determination of Laboratory and Supplementary Examinations for Diagnosis
-
Evaluation of Diagnostic Findings and Determination of Probable Diagnosis
-
Evaluation of Treatment and Prevention Approaches
-
Group Evaluation: "What Would We Do in This Case?"
-
Duties:
-
Each heading will be handled in a concrete, justified, and scientifically sourced manner, and the written case analysis report prepared in relation to the course learning outcomes will be supported by a presentation. Group members will assume equal responsibility in the preparation, reporting, and presentation stages.
-
Within the scope of the study, students are expected to use basic concepts related to internal diseases in animals, evaluate clinical signs, make differential diagnoses for relevant system diseases, determine appropriate examination and laboratory methods for diagnosis, evaluate approaches to disease treatment and prevention, and make a justified clinical evaluation based on the obtained information.
-
This study will be linked to the learning outcomes of the Internal Diseases course, specifically focusing on the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to the integumentary, circulatory, blood, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and nervous systems in animals.

In the case of group work, students' individual contributions will also be taken into consideration in addition to the score of the joint product prepared by the group.
5. Scoring and Contribution Principles
Midterm Grade: The midterm grade is determined by calculating the ADAP study and Midterm Exam scores with equal weighting (50% + 50%).
-
ADAP Score: The study prepared within the scope of ADAP will be evaluated out of 100 full points.
-
Individual Contribution: In case of group work, the individual contributions made by students to the group work, report preparation process, and presentation will be evaluated separately.
-
Academic Integrity: Studies prepared within the scope of ADAP must be based on the students' own efforts. In case of detection of plagiarism, cheating, or practices contrary to academic ethical principles, the relevant legislative provisions will be applied, and the study will not be evaluated.
-
Submission and Presentation: Studies must be submitted and presented within the periods specified in the ADAP Implementation Principles. A makeup process will be applied within the framework of the relevant legislation for students whose justified and valid excuses are accepted by the relevant board of directors.
