Exploring student preferences with a Q-sort: the development of an individualized renal physiology curriculum.

abstract：:Renal clearance is one of the more difficult concepts for students of physiology to learn. We hypothesized that this difficulty is rooted in a student's misunderstanding of virtual volume. This was tested by having students select from several drawings the one they thought plasma would look like after a certain volume...
