When I set out to write an anatomy and physiology full-year curriculum, I was excited about all of the opportunities that lay ahead. I've never designed a curriculum for an elective course before, a course that many states lack standards for (although I did make sure to study each state's standards that did have them to incorporate as many as possible into the resources.) This provided me a great deal of freedom for the course design, and with that, I found that my creativity flourished.
