in Appendix B. As statedpreviously, a rotating facilitator model is expected to be helpful for institutions with large enrollments. Itis important to note that the current semester enrollment in the course (including BME major, BMEminor, and non-minor students) is approximately 100. However, with the anticipated growth of the newBME major program, the enrollment is anticipated to increase to approximately 300 students peracademic year. By examining our preliminary smaller cohorts, we will consider this model to besuccessful if both students and facilitators perceive the rotating facilitators as beneficial towards studentskill development and an overall positive experience and manageable demands on facilitators.References:1.
