Answer the session's questions
Dr Detton's directed observations, asked in the session that exposes the structure. Not the same thing as the GAPP.
Each session carries a short set of directed observations. These are Dr Detton’s questions, matched to that session’s topic. They appear on the Lab Questions page for your donor. Answering them is the observations half of the session’s third task, Record observations and findings; the findings half is the exam map.
The GAPP is a different thing
Complete the GAPP, the second of the session’s three tasks, is that session’s Gross Anatomy Practical Primer, Dr Detton’s sheet for that region. It asks about the anatomy of that session rather than about your donor, and faculty hold its answer key. It comes from the course site and is done outside the record, so nothing you do in the chart completes it.
The directed observations are not that. They are questions about your donor, they have no key because nobody knows the answer until you look, and they go into the record with your name on them. Finishing the GAPP does not answer them, and answering them does not finish the GAPP.
Asked once, in the right session
The questions are keyed to the session as well as the donor. An observation question is asked once, in the session that actually exposes the structure it is about. You will not be asked about pleural adhesions in the session on the lower limb.
If a question is on the page, the answer is in front of you today. If you skip it, the session that could have answered it is over.
One answer per donor
Like the Donor Record, these are answered per donor per session, not per student. “Were there pleural adhesions” is a fact about the donor. Eight answers would be eight things to reconcile. Whoever types it, the answer carries their name and the time.
Talk about it at the table before someone fills it in.
What faculty see
There is a Lab Participation view that faculty use to check, per lab date, whether each service documented its work. It reports by service, not by student, because a group logs its findings between them. Individual counts are shown too. “The service met it” and “one student did all of it” are different situations, and only one of them is visible from a total.
