In the medical billing and coding cirriculum there is some material that gets touched on in every single course. It is imperative that they are an expert in these subject areas in order to successfully complete the course as well as pass their national certification. There is one chapter towards the end of the course that is basically a review of policies and laws that pertain to our field. The information in the chapter is information that the students will have studied on numerous occasions. One thing I like to do on the day of this lesson is place them in small groups. Have them read the chapter in it's entirety to make sure they aren't leaving anything out. Then I divide them into small working groups and give them a specific section of the book. I then have them designate a time keeper, researchers, an information recorder, a group speaker, and a group leader in their small groups. By allowing them to select thier jobs it allows them to play on their strengths and assures that everyone in the group participates. I then have them go thru the assigned section of material and have them come up with a visual presentation describing at least 5 things they learned, or that they werent familiar with before the project. It has worked the several times I have done it and the students like the interaction within the groups and the opportunity to present their knowledge.
