Brianna+Conclusion

Over the first course of the semester I was introduced to a new style of teaching while taking the course Anatomy. This course was to teach us about the human body, through computer projects, and was an interesting learning experience. While taking Anatomy we created many projects to help us better understand the course material. The projects I created by myself were the tissues slideshow, the avascular necrosis blog, the bodies exhibit blog, and a brochure about skin cancer. I also created a project in which I learned about the joints of the wrist and fingers with my partners Roxy McKinley and Cameron Tripp. Each project created was designed to teach me about the specific topic. Each project had a different intent, and helped me to better understand the topic at hand. The tissues slideshow helped me understand the complexity and specific job that each tissue in the body is designed for. My blog on avascular necrosis is about how even living with avascular necrosis quarterback Brett Favre can still be the amazing quarterback he is and doesn't let his disease stop him. The blog I wrote about the field trip to the Bodies Exhibit is a reflection of my experience and learnings while there. The skin cancer brochure was desgned to help me and my fellow class mates understand the dangers that can come from the sun that can lead to skin cancer. Finally my group project with Roxy and Cameron helped me and my fellow group members understand the complexity and make up of the human bodies wrist and finger joints.

Over this first semester I have learned so much about the human body, and I cant wait to study the other systems next semster. The course has been an adjustment form past science classes but in many ways has helped me to better understand course material. It is a positive change and a more interesting learning experience, and I encourage upcoming sophmores to seriously consider taking Anatomy!
