Sitting in the first class, I felt really intimidated by the amount of work that we were going to do. All I saw flashing in front of my eyes was the number of quizzes and tests that we were going to be taking in three weeks! However, I talked with one of the TAs, Charlie Furlong, and he reassured my anxious feelings. He told me that the focus of this class wasn\u2019t just a number next to my name in some grade book; it was about how much I could push myself as a student to learn one of the toughest concepts in science in a really short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Dr. Klepach was very understanding of this daunting task in front of us, and he kept our stress to a minimum, telling us not to worry about how we would do on assignments, but rather understand why the question was asked in the sense of a big picture. My favorite part of BI265 was doing the pig heart dissection. Coming from a summer where a worked as a Dental Assistant and an Oral Surgery Clinic, I was excited to delve into more live anatomy rather than just looking at diagrams. Cutting a window into my heart to expose the papillary muscle was a super cool experience, and when I showed the pictures to all of my friends, they thought it was just as cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you Dr. Klepach for an amazing Jan-Plan. He made the time well worth it and I enjoyed every one of his labs and lectures.&nbsp;I enjoyed his class so much that I am going to become one of his Teaching Assistants for the Anatomy class in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming into BI265, I didn\u2019t know what to expect at first.
