References: Helpful reviews on the topics will be shared with students.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1. PowerPoint lecture presentations: Lecture subjects will be covered as PowerPoint presentations schematized and simplified for easy visual comprehension.
2. Research article presentation assignment: Students will choose recent research articles about essential or current repair and regeneration related topics, present the key points of the article as a short presentation and discuss those with the audience. All presentations will be held together on a predetermined date outside of lecture hours.
