Jamie's+Final+Reflection

Over the course of this year, I must admit that my knowledge of this topic has grown a vast amount. I feel rather confident on the varying topics of anatomy and physiology now, as a direct result of my hands-on labs and extensive research assignments. I have looked from the causes of paralysis to the effects of artists on the realms of anatomical knowledge. I have been all over the intellectual boards in this area, and now I feel as if I am coming away well-learned. Although I did know I good deal to begin with as a result of my history, I have to say that what I knew is now less than a quarter of the information that my mind now holds. I even had to perform a presentation, and help teach the things I have been learning to my class. After having succesfully accomplished this, I feel even more confident.

While I did not agree with a few of the assignments on a personal level, on an intellectual level I must accept them. They pushed me past my limits and out of my comfort zone, and forced me to come away with abounding knowledge. This information will help prepare me for college, as well as my future career in medicine. Now that I understand the anatomy and physiology of the human body, I will be able to get through my college medical classes, and my career itself much easier. I appreciate this class a great deal, and am very pleased with myself for having stuck with it despite the occasional uncomfortable times.
