Hippocrates — The Father of Medicine

Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 – c. 370 BC), also known as Hippocrates II, was a Greek physician and philosopher of the classical period who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is traditionally referred to as the "Father of Medicine" in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field, such as the use of prognosis and clinical observation, and the systematic categorization of diseases. The Hippocratic school of medicine revolutionized ancient Greek medicine, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields. Hippocrates is credited with writing what is now known as the Hippocratic Oath which requires a new physician to uphold specific ethical standards, ensure medical confidentiality, and non-maleficence.

Directions

Three By Three Club (3 x 3 Club)

Students are to take and submit notes on the material assigned.
The material assigned will be discussed in class on the second day of the week.
Students may work ahead of schedule if they wish.
Students may test out of a Chapter in Health & Fitness by scoring 80% or higher on a Chapter Test. If the student scores 80% or higher on the Chapter Test then they do not have to do any of the assignments related to that Chapter and can immediately move to the next Chapter.
If the student scores below 80% on the Chapter Test then they have to complete the assignments that are related to the material that they answered incorrectly on the Chapter Test. When the student completes those assignments they can take the Chapter Retest.
Health and Fitness grades will appear in the Health section of the Report Card.

Students who score a 3 or a 4 on three consecutive tests are in the ‘3 x 3 Club’.
Students who are in the 3 x 3 Club can prepare for the next test in any way they choose.
Students who are in the 3 x 3 Club don’t have to tell Mr. Martocchio how they are preparing for the next test, but if they do, Mr. Martocchio will record, in The Student’s Records, that they did some preparation.
If a student does not tell Mr. Martocchio about any of their preparation for the next test, Mr. Martocchio will record, ‘n/a’ in The Student’s Records, for the weeks of preparation before the test.
