I signed up for this class knowing that it would be a lot of material to learn in a short period of time. But I was still shocked after the first week of class by just how much we had to learn and the fact that we had already taken our first lab practical. Since this is my first time taking an anatomy class, I was excited to learn about the human body and was fascinated by just how in depth we went as a class, in terms of learning the anatomical structures in the human body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I appreciated how this class\u2019 purpose was not only to learn about the human body but to also discover how to maintain a healthy study schedule while in a rigorous course. Because of this, I was able to experience what it is like to study for the sake of learning, rather than to get a good grade. During this time, I learned that I work best when studying in a public space, such as Miller library, and studying in 25 minute increments with 5 minute breaks in between to destress. I felt comfortable trying different studying habits and learning to set aside time for relaxation and self care. I would often knit and watch netflix shows to destress and hang out with friends on the weekends. I learned that just spending all your time trying to cram your head with information isn\u2019t effective and you need to take small breaks in between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During Janplan, I realized that I had developed a habit of trying to study up until bedtime. I had been struggling with insomnia for quite some time and I realized that I should try taking better care of myself by developing healthy sleep habits. This is something I\u2019m still working on but I\u2019ve tried to implement new habits such as stopping electronic usage 30 minutes before bed and following a relaxing bedtime routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really liked the pig heart dissection (though it was very smelly), and seeing all the different vessels and parts of the heart helped me to memorize the anatomy of the heart and flow of blood. Dr. K was very accommodating throughout the course and frequently offered to provide us with additional help if needed. I really appreciated his emphasis on our mental health throughout the course and focusing on developing sustainable, healthy studying habits, as mentioned earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This class really has flown by and I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s the end of Janplan already. As mentioned earlier, I not only learned a lot about the Human Body but also learned about what works best for me in terms of studying. This is really helpful for me because I will be graduating in the spring and I hope that I will continue to use the skills I learnt throughout this course at graduate school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
