 * Does the course you selected in Module 1 involve problem solving? - Yes. The problem is a need for laparoscopic suturing
 * If it does, can you identify the content elements of the problem?
 * (See below)
 * It could have begun with a laparoscopic situation that demonstrated a need for suturing.
 * Try to identify the prescribed instructional events required by the problem you selected.
 * Can you identify a progression of problems for the problem included in the course or for the problem you suggested for the course?
 * The problems could progress from a simple need to re-approximate anatomy to a situation involving life-threatening bleeding that would require efficient and accurate placement of stitches. In the course, they do demonstrate knot tying in the face of an obstructing object. This does represent some problem progression.
 * Can you identify the component skills required by all of the problems in the progression?
 * ==== **Information about -** This was limited but included the discussion of the need for laparoscopic suturing in a growing number of procedures performed using this technique. ====
 * ==== ** Part-of - **There was a little discussion of this regarding proper places to grasp a needle. Illustrations showing grasping the correct and incorrect parts of the needle might have been helpful. ====
 * ==== **Kind-of**, in the sense that in falls in the general category of suturing but represents a special or unique form of that category. Also, correct needle alignment could be in the group of an infinite number of different needle alignments. square knots are a kind of knots,etc. Showing the different instruments had examples and non-examples to help recognize the appropriate ones.====
 * ====Obviously the **How-to** component is prominent with sequential steps demonstrating the conditions achieved if the step was performed correctly. The ultimate consequence is a well-tied placed stich with an adequate knot, though this was not adequately emphasized. The use of non-examples, consequences of a step that was not performed well, would have been more effective).====
 * What happens: This was demonstrated with the knot pusher and the intracorporial knot tying, but mostly showing, without discussing in detail, the if-then nature of the knot tying.

Content elements of: proper needle alignment + proper stitch placement + proper suture alignment + surgeons knot + square alignment of throw + proper tension + proper suture alignment for second throw + second throw + square alignment of second throw + Proper tension + proper suture alignment for third throw + third throw + square alignment of third throw + proper tension + trimming suture = **consequence of properly placed intracorporial stitch.**
