Adetutu Okupe Bio 3800 Dr. Poole December 4, 2015. Writing Assignment 4B Patient: Hello Doctor, my name is Keisha Cole. I have been having some flu like symptoms lately and really don’t understand this symptoms. Dr. Oz: Hello Keisha, I understand your frustration and I am here to help you understand what is actually going on in your body.
Just this year I changed from an accelerated history class to a more challenging AP history class,
In order to successfully achieve the intended goal of the experiment, the lab group will need to take the steps necessary to ensure that the correct crosses occur and the proper measures are taken to safeguard against any errors in the data. Three test crosses were carried out over an interlude of four weeks. The objective for the first week of the experiment was to establish our Parental (P) cross, for this we had to gather the already made fly-houses with the pre-determined wild types or mutants. Using the “FlyNap” solution, we anesthetized both the wild type virgin females and the various mutated male strains. While the flies were rendered unconscious, our lab group counted and located five to ten males and females in three separate fly-houses.
History. I decided to take an AP course to challenge myself mentally. Yet, I did not know it was going to be overwhelming as I was assigned to read multiple pages every day for homework. Nonetheless, the reading is very dense and hard to comprehend which made me struggle with the packets we had to fill out that correlates to the reading. When I would get home, I would do my homework but sometimes I would feel stressed out because it is just too much work so instead I would go on my phone
Sigh. It was sixth period, my least favorite period: AP World History. I had always disliked history because of it seemed boring and there was always a massive amount of reading and memorization to do for the class. Every unit, we would get a thick packet of papers to read on top of the textbook reading assigned. Half the time, I felt as if the reading was written in some incomprehensible alien language.
It doesnt get much easier. The test freaking on basic equations. We did these last year. "Sorry. " I mumbled to the teacher, not really feeling sorry.
This years most challenging courses were AP Chemistry and Math Analysis. Science and math are the toughest subjects for me and I planned to challenge myself this junior year. I was able to get my grades up for AP Chemistry by retaking tests and completing extra credit because my test grades were low even though I pushed myself to study nightly. My strengths would include that I never throw in the towel and I push myself every day, every night, in every way to understand what I am learning and achieve what I am striving for.
However you will get use to the pace in the classroom. Since there was not a lot of students in the class I was able to listen more and understand it better.
Class starts exactly at 8 and the second I got there I already recognized 2 of my buddies and 5 other McKinley students. Instantly I could tell this wasn't going to be that bad. I came to this class with a goal of getting an A and 3 days in, I finish quarter one of algebra and the teacher made me a math tutor along with some other kids. Math class was easy after words from then on. Once or twice a week during the summer I would go out, watch a movie or go eat with some friends and that was mainly my entire summer.
When I signed up for this class I was a little tentative at first, I have never taken an online class before and this semester I am taking two. I am used to going to class two or three times a week and interacting with my classmates in a room along with getting assigned work each time. The past couple days has taken me a bit of time getting used to the format and planning when I need to work on this class. However, I found that once I got adjusted I have been doing quite well with keeping up on the work. Often times I needed to read several paragraphs a few more times to get a full understanding of what the author was stating.
Algebra was difficult for me because of the many formulas I had to remember and also because me teacher method of teaching was reading off of the PowerPoint and giving us homework that was due
Junior high was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be, but on the other hand some of the classes were kind of difficult. The most difficult class I’ve had was Mrs. Buchholz history class in seventh grade. It was a challenge because she had us take long notes for tests and I really couldn’t keep up with her at first. Also, the test she had us take where hard if you didn’t study and she would give us about one class period to finish the
It is important to add that the class I was put in sophomore year was already harder than my previous level and something I was nervous for. However, this class turned out to be harder in a way I could never imagine. It sparked academic interest and curiosity; it ignited a new mindset.
I hated it, especially because it tested me on math that I had not learned in my classes so I had to teach it to myself, but in order to get a good grade, we had to pass every module with an “advanced proficiency.” I failed each module at least 10 times and had to ask my teacher to reset my progress so I could try again. It seems silly now, but it made me so miserable and frustrated I would cry while doing the problems. This went on for weeks and by the end of it I had only learned enough to pass the test and nothing more.
ERQ: Discuss the use of brain imagining techniques in the BLOA In the Biological Level of Analysis Psychologists have to understand the structure and functions of parts the human body and how those structures affect our behaviour. In particular they have study the brain and in order to do this they use imaging techniques such as MRIs and PET scans. This technology allows these researchers to study the ‘active brain’. They both have different functions and are used for different situations.
