| 00:01 | Alright, we're gonna go ahead and started. Hopefully me standing up here |
|
| 00:05 | not gonna get in the way. I know it's already going to do |
|
| 00:08 | so I better fix it now. So this is human physiology. I'm |
|
| 00:14 | wayne. Welcome to another semester. ! Really? That excited. |
|
| 00:21 | Okay. Um So hopefully you're in right place if you're not don't be |
|
| 00:25 | . I've already, you know, people to rooms that we're like halfway |
|
| 00:30 | the campus. So you know, actually my first class, 8 30 |
|
| 00:34 | 30 people got up because the class been moved and they didn't even |
|
| 00:38 | So it was you know, perfectly . I don't know why they thought |
|
| 00:41 | was my room because I've had my forever. Anyway, so this is |
|
| 00:45 | of the general information for when we and stuff. My office is over |
|
| 00:48 | SRT you guys know where S. . Two is. It's an ugly |
|
| 00:51 | brown building by the big building. S. R. One. Don't |
|
| 00:55 | too confused. I'm on the second basically if you go up the |
|
| 00:59 | take a left and go halfway down hall, I'm there. If you |
|
| 01:01 | lost, just keep going around the it's a circle and just keep doing |
|
| 01:05 | you kind of figure it out. it's easy to find me sort of |
|
| 01:08 | if you want to get in touch me you can call me but if |
|
| 01:11 | not in my office I'm not gonna my call. I've never check voicemail |
|
| 01:16 | I really don't like voice mail because get calls somewhere like three o'clock in |
|
| 01:20 | morning. I guess. Some people I live here, I don't |
|
| 01:24 | And they'll say, hey, I've this problem with this. And then |
|
| 01:26 | I'll get back in or I used get back in and I call them |
|
| 01:29 | and say, hey, you called about this problem. So yeah, |
|
| 01:32 | , I figured it out. It just like forget this if you have |
|
| 01:35 | issue email, if you don't get touch with me by phone. And |
|
| 01:38 | generally speaking, if you're masking your phone number, if it says |
|
| 01:43 | unknown or something, I just don't at this point, I'm so tired |
|
| 01:46 | the scam phone calls you get them . So I just don't bother. |
|
| 01:50 | you can call me if I'm I'll answer if your, if your |
|
| 01:52 | is listed. If not, I just just email me and um, |
|
| 01:57 | to let you know, I'm not your generation. I'm old now. |
|
| 02:01 | realized this a couple of weeks ago my kids stopped listening to me. |
|
| 02:04 | um, yeah, that's, and , I don't do email on my |
|
| 02:10 | on purpose. I don't do email five o'clock on purpose. I do |
|
| 02:16 | starting at 7 30 in the morning I get into work. And the |
|
| 02:20 | for that is I get about 100 50 emails a day and I want |
|
| 02:24 | have a life. Um, so the easy way to get a |
|
| 02:27 | is to stop answering emails and limiting you get when you actually do |
|
| 02:32 | So I would encourage you to do as well. Start living a business |
|
| 02:36 | as opposed to anybody can contact me any point in their time at just |
|
| 02:40 | if someone doesn't respond to you, mean that they don't like you, |
|
| 02:44 | sometimes sometimes that's called ghosting. Um , so if you want to come |
|
| 02:48 | meet with me, my office hours from 10 to 11 30 on Tuesdays |
|
| 02:52 | Thursdays. So it's the uh the that's like would be the second unit |
|
| 02:58 | the day on Tuesday Thursdays. If have a class during that time, |
|
| 03:01 | can't make it, just email me say, hey, I'd like to |
|
| 03:04 | and talk to you. Um but have a class during your office |
|
| 03:08 | when can we meet, we can the time. I usually can meet |
|
| 03:10 | little bit before class if necessary. can meet after class as well, |
|
| 03:15 | Wednesday friday is a little bit more iffy, I have meetings scattered |
|
| 03:20 | so it's kind of like, you , I'm not sure when I'm |
|
| 03:23 | but we'll figure it out. So email me, I'm available, I'm |
|
| 03:26 | to help you achieve your goals and ultimately what I want to understand about |
|
| 03:30 | class, this is me about helping achieve your goals. That doesn't mean |
|
| 03:33 | gonna be the anything can go, really, really stringent on on helping |
|
| 03:39 | in terms of we're gonna work hard we're gonna be better than everybody else |
|
| 03:42 | that you cannot all hopefully get to you wanna be. Alright. That |
|
| 03:47 | sense. I'm not trying to scare . Say I'm tough. That's just |
|
| 03:50 | . All right, so, um guys know that ula is E. |
|
| 03:55 | L. A ula. All Most of you guys, every one |
|
| 03:59 | you should be not. Of I know what you'll is because every |
|
| 04:01 | I get a new app or download software, this pop up comes up |
|
| 04:05 | I just clicked accept and I move and that's a ula in user license |
|
| 04:12 | , right? You click accept. have no idea what you agreed to |
|
| 04:15 | . Like, you're giving away your , right? Uh You're most likely |
|
| 04:21 | away all your personal information and personal , right? You guys haven't read |
|
| 04:26 | of these, have you? Oh goodness, you guys are so |
|
| 04:29 | Um Anyway, that's what a syllabus like, Alright, what it |
|
| 04:33 | it defines what this class is gonna , what's required of you and what |
|
| 04:39 | grades are gonna be determined by and reading through that and accepting. And |
|
| 04:44 | saying I'm gonna be in the what you're doing is basically clicking the |
|
| 04:47 | button. Alright. And so there's you go and look at it, |
|
| 04:51 | really long. It's about 13 pages gobbledygook and I say gobbledygook because every |
|
| 04:56 | of the provost's office asked me to something else in there that really isn't |
|
| 05:01 | . But I'm doing it because they me to. But if you look |
|
| 05:04 | it it's like here's what the this is what when the tests |
|
| 05:07 | this is what the class material is be. This is what the reading |
|
| 05:10 | what the textbook is going to be . Uh Here's your assignments and so |
|
| 05:14 | . That's all there. If you . You should go and look at |
|
| 05:17 | , see what I have or what expecting of you. But there's also |
|
| 05:21 | know like a great policy. Um I'll get to that and just admit |
|
| 05:26 | what grades are. But like the honesty policy that you've all agreed to |
|
| 05:31 | just attending the university when the uh it means to get an incomplete how |
|
| 05:36 | withdraw all that stuff there. So you haven't looked at your syllabus |
|
| 05:40 | I would encourage you to do so I'm right handed. So I tend |
|
| 05:43 | be on this side. I will really really hard to come over here |
|
| 05:47 | . But it's just weird Sea so right anyway so make sure you go |
|
| 05:54 | the syllabus to make sure you understand what the class is gonna be |
|
| 05:57 | What you're getting yourself into our Is this one right here text. |
|
| 06:01 | medical physiology. They went up in this year is really really upset. |
|
| 06:05 | now 114 bucks. Used to be . It was the best purchase, |
|
| 06:10 | best buy you could ever get in not just in physiology but anywhere. |
|
| 06:16 | you ever bought a science textbook for bucks? Yeah. See when I |
|
| 06:21 | that and then when I actually looked the content I was like oh man |
|
| 06:24 | is the best book you'll ever I mean this is a book if |
|
| 06:27 | planning on a career in biology or medicine or any sort of health |
|
| 06:33 | this is a book you're gonna keep the rest of your life. |
|
| 06:35 | It's it's a it's a deal. what's what's what's great about it? |
|
| 06:39 | wish I actually made money on this I'm like a salesperson on this. |
|
| 06:42 | not only when you purchase it new you pay that ridiculously low price? |
|
| 06:47 | low price. Right. What you is you get lifetime access to the |
|
| 06:50 | . Text so you can actually sell book and still have access to the |
|
| 06:55 | . That's pretty cool. Right? if you, how many guys bought |
|
| 06:59 | ? Alright. Further? You haven't it yet? You've got a reading |
|
| 07:02 | tonight so uh better hope it comes . Uh But anyway so uh further |
|
| 07:08 | purchased it? You bought the Right did you bring it to |
|
| 07:13 | Anyone? Oh my goodness. So start doing curls now. How |
|
| 07:19 | That way Too much? About £8. but it's a fantastic book for you |
|
| 07:26 | you're taking cell biology, you'll probably refer back to this book before you |
|
| 07:29 | back to the cell biology book. really that good. Alright anyway make |
|
| 07:33 | you get it. I say older not acceptable, primarily because third edition |
|
| 07:36 | been around for a long time but your reading assignments are based on not |
|
| 07:40 | page numbers but units like it's like unit and that unit, this |
|
| 07:43 | this page starts on and so So if you go to an older |
|
| 07:46 | you're gonna get lost and you're gonna to figure out what what sections I'm |
|
| 07:51 | to. Okay and yes there will reading assignments. Every class you're gonna |
|
| 07:55 | to read beforehand. Alright. Um by the way if you do have |
|
| 07:59 | device, I can't believe I still this slide. Just make sure it's |
|
| 08:03 | silence. Your your ringtone is only for you. Um Policy points, |
|
| 08:09 | that are kind of important to your . Anyone here graduating this semester. |
|
| 08:14 | . Do you know when your fees due for your graduation stuff? You |
|
| 08:20 | have you? If you don't know academic calendar, I'll tell you university |
|
| 08:26 | gonna expect you to pay them. on. Right. Uh Days are |
|
| 08:30 | view. The seventh of september is last day you can drop any course |
|
| 08:34 | a great attached to it. The you get to that date, the |
|
| 08:37 | we get to keep your money. kind of make decisions early rather than |
|
| 08:41 | . Uh After the semester begins after . R. D. Is what |
|
| 08:45 | day is called. It's the official day. Uh Now you have a |
|
| 08:49 | and so the only way you can a class at this point is with |
|
| 08:52 | . S. Last day to do is six is the 16th of |
|
| 08:55 | Uh If you want to figure out your finals are, so you can |
|
| 08:58 | purchasing your plane tickets, Go check the academic calendar. We don't like |
|
| 09:03 | . Like already bought the plane tickets . Well, I'm sorry you wasted |
|
| 09:05 | , You're taking the test. Um honesty. This is a big deal |
|
| 09:10 | our department is getting worse and worse worse. Or we're seeing a |
|
| 09:14 | a lot of things worse and worse worse. Now, I'm not sitting |
|
| 09:16 | going, you're a bunch of you're not all right. But there |
|
| 09:20 | people who don't understand the difference between and wrong when it comes to |
|
| 09:25 | All right. And so, if don't understand, you should probably find |
|
| 09:30 | what it means to be to what university considers to be cheating or what |
|
| 09:36 | is or plagiarizing you guys know what word plagiarism means, Do you guys |
|
| 09:42 | you know what it is though? . You nodded your head. You |
|
| 09:45 | give me an answer now. Very . That's that's actually the best |
|
| 09:53 | So what is it when you take that belongs to somebody else? What |
|
| 09:55 | that stealing? It's it's it's literally to as um intellectual stealing, intellectual |
|
| 10:02 | stealing. And you guys are probably it's no big, no big |
|
| 10:05 | No big deal. Let me tell a quick story. This is what |
|
| 10:07 | famous for. This is why my go so long as I tell stories |
|
| 10:11 | some people are not in their heads . Yeah. Yeah, I know |
|
| 10:13 | does. I had a student, have a paper in this class, |
|
| 10:15 | talk about the paper a little bit uh student turned in the paper. |
|
| 10:20 | you know there's two rounds. So , this was in the second round |
|
| 10:24 | gets his emails and says dr I'm grading my own paper, which |
|
| 10:29 | an impossibility. Alright, you hear right? I'm grading my own |
|
| 10:33 | I said that's not possible, let go check it out. And he |
|
| 10:36 | in grade in his paper was great other students paper and I went looked |
|
| 10:40 | that student had reviewed or in the review of that that particular students, |
|
| 10:44 | first person, the first students like the paper so much that literally |
|
| 10:49 | whole blocks of text, full paragraphs and submit it as their own. |
|
| 10:58 | they thought they would get away with , but it just so happened that |
|
| 11:00 | random number generator put them back together . Just the opposite direction. Person |
|
| 11:06 | kicked out of the college and was from the university for three years. |
|
| 11:11 | able to come back. Maybe it four years, but there are dire |
|
| 11:15 | . This is not just a a issue, it's not just a thing |
|
| 11:20 | you see in professionalism, it happens the level of the university as |
|
| 11:23 | And so part of this is to you. Now, let you understand |
|
| 11:28 | will happen if you do this what it does, it outlines your |
|
| 11:32 | just as well as it outlines Right, so just be aware of |
|
| 11:34 | that means. If you have a to fall into that category of like |
|
| 11:40 | stuff from a friend or copying their . This is not the time to |
|
| 11:43 | it. I've had students who went to professional schools, you all piling |
|
| 11:46 | professional school. # one on their is integrity. Number one had a |
|
| 11:52 | went to dental school, third year student got caught cheating on an |
|
| 11:56 | It took her several years to get dental school. I might add you |
|
| 12:00 | her out of school not going back the dream. So we try to |
|
| 12:05 | it now so that you can achieve goals for the future. Lastly, |
|
| 12:08 | you have a need for an accommodation the course. Uh This is the |
|
| 12:13 | you go to. There's also phone , there's also 1000 ways on the |
|
| 12:17 | basically go up to U. Of . Dot E. D. |
|
| 12:18 | Putting any search term you want in case would be accessibility. And you |
|
| 12:22 | go and look up and you can out how the university can accommodate you |
|
| 12:26 | you have a need for accommodation, know? So Look, if you |
|
| 12:30 | know where something is, you have you search engine just plug in the |
|
| 12:33 | words and it will pop up almost times out of 10. It'll pop |
|
| 12:37 | first on the first on the It's not second on the list. |
|
| 12:41 | been here long enough. The Do you like blackboard? One person |
|
| 12:46 | ahead. I think blackboard sucks. not. No, it's a terrible |
|
| 12:52 | of software. All right. But is where everything is, this is |
|
| 12:55 | learning system. So this is where see announcements. I post them there |
|
| 12:58 | then they get emailed out to you they'll they'll remain there for some |
|
| 13:02 | The syllabus city policy. Any panned ? You need like a lecture. |
|
| 13:06 | I always release lecture slides an hour class. I know if you're trying |
|
| 13:10 | print them up. That's kind of pain in the butt, but there's |
|
| 13:12 | reason for it. Any assignment that have particularly um Like the reading assignments |
|
| 13:18 | your writing assignments are gonna be there well. Things that you've turned |
|
| 13:21 | I record every lecture. This is yeah, by the way, if |
|
| 13:24 | in the front row always check to that orange lights on. If it |
|
| 13:27 | off we're not recording anything. Um But anyway, so any of |
|
| 13:32 | video recordings that I make, there'll links there. Uh It's where the |
|
| 13:36 | book is and it's not really a book, it's just where your grades |
|
| 13:39 | be recorded so that you can look them. This is why I say |
|
| 13:42 | mostly inaccurate. It cannot calculate your . You're gonna have to be responsible |
|
| 13:46 | that yourself. Alright. My math far far more complicated than blackboards, |
|
| 13:51 | can barely add two numbers together. I will show you how to determine |
|
| 13:54 | grade. You're responsible for doing Do not make decisions based on what |
|
| 13:59 | tells you. It's like listening to three year old. Okay. It |
|
| 14:03 | know what it's doing. It's useful keeping track of the scores to make |
|
| 14:07 | they're recorded correctly. It's not good calculating. Alright. I'm just letting |
|
| 14:11 | know that now um stuff you actually about. When do I have to |
|
| 14:17 | my test? Well there's one every and that's just a function of every |
|
| 14:20 | lecture. Um So the first one 13th in october 6th november 1st and |
|
| 14:27 | we're signed december 8th, so that's we do our our fourth exam, |
|
| 14:32 | don't, you'll hear me say but they're just they're all the |
|
| 14:35 | They're just every exam is non It just deals with the unit that |
|
| 14:38 | looking at. I don't drop any the exams. Their basic 50 |
|
| 14:43 | multiple choice, 100 points total. this pattern right here 50 questions over |
|
| 14:48 | hour, that's what that is. one hour Um is standard for our |
|
| 14:52 | standard for our field. So those you planning on going into the health |
|
| 14:57 | ? This is what everything is gonna like from now on. All right |
|
| 15:00 | obviously if college setting different when you and you know take your boards, |
|
| 15:04 | your qualifying exams, all these different are going to have that kind of |
|
| 15:09 | there, maybe 200 questions. But it's 200 questions you would have four |
|
| 15:15 | , right, that makes sense. Anyone here knew not not aware of |
|
| 15:21 | do not be, don't be afraid say, okay casa is our testing |
|
| 15:25 | . It doesn't look anything like That's a picture I stole off the |
|
| 15:29 | of some random thing. Um And you do is on the days that |
|
| 15:34 | have exams we don't have class. so what you're gonna do is you're |
|
| 15:38 | go to the cost of testing center you've been assigned to. There are |
|
| 15:41 | of them. So you have to aware of which one you've been assigned |
|
| 15:44 | before you go there. You need go to that website register and then |
|
| 15:48 | need to go over to a cost one of them and you have to |
|
| 15:51 | your biometric which is basically a digital which really isn't your thumbprint. It's |
|
| 15:55 | a biometric. So that when you and check in you show them your |
|
| 15:58 | , you do the biometric. They do that right? Yeah and then |
|
| 16:02 | and then your that's how you check to take your exam. So don't |
|
| 16:06 | up here, you'll be sad and on the days of exams you're gonna |
|
| 16:11 | to casa to do that. So one of those four days I would |
|
| 16:15 | because I have taken the slide out casa opens up. So let's say |
|
| 16:20 | want to sign up for an exam the 13th of september who can tell |
|
| 16:25 | what day sign ups open two weeks . So if that's a Tuesday it |
|
| 16:32 | at midnight on a monday two weeks . And just like you trying to |
|
| 16:38 | a seat on Southwest Airlines, you're be sitting with your finger over the |
|
| 16:41 | at midnight desperately trying to get that that you want. No one laughed |
|
| 16:48 | that one person laughed. Thank You get the Gold Star for the |
|
| 16:51 | . Alright, alright. How many you guys want to take exams at |
|
| 16:56 | o'clock because you think that's better for . It's okay you can raise your |
|
| 16:59 | . No you don't like that five Yeah. Yeah now you're you're gonna |
|
| 17:05 | all day long stressing about the But if that's your preference, I |
|
| 17:09 | , there's all the people who aren't their hands over here. They're all |
|
| 17:12 | and they're all going to compete for five o'clock slot with you. Right |
|
| 17:16 | , the smart people are going for nine o'clock slot. Let's get it |
|
| 17:19 | with. I'm done. I can around campus for a little bit. |
|
| 17:22 | I go to Happy Hour. Everything's . All right now, but |
|
| 17:26 | you just find your preference. Just that there's not always gonna be all |
|
| 17:29 | slots available for everyone's preferred time. , there's a little bit of a |
|
| 17:34 | there two weeks before, literally from it turns from midnight to 1201. |
|
| 17:41 | . Sorry, not my rodeo. don't run it. Just one of |
|
| 17:45 | clowns. All right. We do reading assignments. We have the big |
|
| 17:52 | . Can I steal your big book a second since you actually lifted up |
|
| 17:57 | all right. I'm not even gonna it. See, I want you |
|
| 18:00 | see this bad boy. Uh One , one hour 50 questions. One |
|
| 18:08 | . Do the math. How How many seconds per question? It's |
|
| 18:14 | 70 seconds per question. All I'm just holding up. Do not |
|
| 18:20 | me I'm gonna give it right back you. I mean, it's only |
|
| 18:23 | , but it's not like a $300 . But still that's that's like like |
|
| 18:27 | tank of gas. Right? So is your textbook. About 1400 pages |
|
| 18:34 | make you nervous. Yeah. Don't you don't have to read. All |
|
| 18:38 | pages is about 1300 of it. teasing. All right there. So |
|
| 18:44 | use this textbook to help prepare ourselves come to class. The truth |
|
| 18:49 | is your how many guys are planning health professions? Medical dental. |
|
| 18:53 | Who's taking this class? Just for . All right, good good. |
|
| 18:58 | , I'm glad. I mean take because they look like they're fun if |
|
| 19:03 | have opportunities to do so. And know that they're not tough do |
|
| 19:08 | I'm not saying don't drive. I'm telling you guys to leave the |
|
| 19:11 | But you know, but if you're on health profession this is like everyone's |
|
| 19:14 | this is like the crocs class. gotta take it. Well, how |
|
| 19:17 | guys have heard that? Medical or school is really, really hard. |
|
| 19:22 | you you're now like okay maybe it's . It's just dense. Alright. |
|
| 19:28 | dense. That's that's there's a Right? The material isn't difficult. |
|
| 19:33 | at our textbook. What's the name our textbook? Medical physiology? They |
|
| 19:39 | you the exact same thing. I'm you. All right. They just |
|
| 19:43 | a lot of it right material. not hard. It's just there's lots |
|
| 19:49 | it. And so one of the that we overcome quantity. Thank you |
|
| 19:53 | much. The way we overcome quantity we get used to bearing that |
|
| 19:58 | How many guys lift weights workout? . First day did you start, |
|
| 20:04 | you start just like I'm gonna jacket as much as I can go. |
|
| 20:08 | you start low and you build up finally you can actually do a lot |
|
| 20:13 | . Alright so 11 of the things we're doing is we're training ourselves to |
|
| 20:18 | dealing with the quantity of information that's be coming at. You see college |
|
| 20:23 | weird in the sense that we How many classes do we take in |
|
| 20:26 | semester? Like four Maybe 5. . If we're crazy six. |
|
| 20:35 | And then they're interspersed win. It's oh well I got two on Tuesday |
|
| 20:39 | . I got two on monday Wednesday . I got this weird class over |
|
| 20:43 | on a Wednesday, right we've got big gaps. We don't know what |
|
| 20:46 | do with them. You're supposed to . Um Right well medical and dental |
|
| 20:51 | is not like that. Medical and school is like going to work. |
|
| 20:57 | go and get there early in the . Eight o'clock nine o'clock whenever classes |
|
| 21:01 | and then you take class class class class class class. Class. |
|
| 21:04 | go home study, rinse repeat, lots of work not hard, just |
|
| 21:13 | of it. How do you govern that stuff? Well you need to |
|
| 21:16 | ready and prepared for it. It's different. Remember when you made that |
|
| 21:19 | from high school to college and everything all weird is like oh no one's |
|
| 21:23 | me, I'm just sitting here and like doing nothing in high school. |
|
| 21:26 | all of a sudden now they're expecting to do much more difficult stuff, |
|
| 21:30 | difficult. It's just coming at you . That's the same thing. So |
|
| 21:34 | reading assignments are to help you start ready for that pace of material. |
|
| 21:42 | . So what you're gonna do is gonna read the book in reading what |
|
| 21:48 | expectation is is not for you to notes and spend seven hours reading. |
|
| 21:53 | know I can already see you two going to do that. You're gonna |
|
| 21:55 | like I'm gonna get the book and gonna take notes all night long. |
|
| 21:59 | don't do that. Read the book you're reading a magazine, get a |
|
| 22:04 | of what's going on and what you're to be learning in the next lecture |
|
| 22:08 | make sure that you've read. Because I was a student too and I |
|
| 22:12 | I wouldn't I wouldn't do the reading you made me. So I'm making |
|
| 22:16 | there is a reading assignment and I'm a quiz that comes available before class |
|
| 22:22 | you have to complete. Now these low stakes quizzes, right? If |
|
| 22:26 | decide not to ever do a quiz highest grade you'll ever in the class |
|
| 22:29 | the 90%ile right? So that is , is it the end of your |
|
| 22:34 | if you miss a quiz the one like yes, no no no. |
|
| 22:39 | this strategy here is yes. Do the quiz. Read and do |
|
| 22:43 | quiz. I've asked every class since started signing this book. First day |
|
| 22:48 | class. They all hated the reading it's long and it's hard and scary |
|
| 22:51 | there's big words and there's a little print and blah blah blah by the |
|
| 22:55 | of the semester money. How's the ? Like it's easy why they started |
|
| 23:00 | with £5. They're now up to . Okay. So don't be scared |
|
| 23:05 | it. It's not that terrible. . But the idea here is we're |
|
| 23:09 | reading to absorb information. We're reading understand where it is and to be |
|
| 23:14 | to start introducing ideas to ourselves. right. Like I said 10% of |
|
| 23:19 | final grade. So this is kind what your typical week is gonna look |
|
| 23:22 | for me. Look, I'll be first one to tell you my class |
|
| 23:25 | not the most important class you'll ever . It's not the most important class |
|
| 23:29 | semester. Ah I wish it were it's not how many guys are taking |
|
| 23:35 | least a full load. 15 Each one of those 15 hours is |
|
| 23:39 | important, right? So I'm not have no expectation that my class like |
|
| 23:45 | organic chemists are gonna take over your life. Did I say hello and |
|
| 23:51 | record that too. So that's what kind of looks like. Right? |
|
| 23:56 | your lecture. You read the assignment then the in the case of Tuesday's |
|
| 24:01 | have basically two days to read and your quiz opens up and it stays |
|
| 24:05 | until about noon. It's not really and I think it's noon because we |
|
| 24:08 | one o'clock class and then it closes and then you show up to lecture |
|
| 24:12 | you listen to the lecture that we read about and then we talk about |
|
| 24:15 | stuff that is important and the things you should learn and know and carry |
|
| 24:18 | you. And then the next day do the same thing. We just |
|
| 24:20 | a weekend. I don't expect you study on saturday or friday nights |
|
| 24:24 | Cause come on. Right. And you know the quiz and it's the |
|
| 24:28 | thing over and over again. So is just your general pattern of behavior |
|
| 24:32 | the class. Right? I read come to class I read I come |
|
| 24:36 | class and you'll create this pattern of which will lead to your access in |
|
| 24:40 | long term, not just in my but generally speaking we have this writing |
|
| 24:46 | man writing assignments gotta. Right? mean I got a science because I |
|
| 24:51 | want to write. Right. Isn't right? That's a lot of rights |
|
| 24:55 | a sentence. Isn't that correct? guess what? I got bad news |
|
| 25:00 | you. It's not just scientists that stuff. Everybody writes stuff. Look |
|
| 25:05 | these these are all calls for papers different journals. None of them are |
|
| 25:10 | journals. Alright. My wife is physical therapist. She gets a physical |
|
| 25:16 | therapy journal. She writes notes. job literally is see a patient for |
|
| 25:20 | hour, write a note for two . That is her job. |
|
| 25:25 | It is writing writing, writing, intensive science in general, health professions |
|
| 25:31 | general is lots of writing. So we're doing here is getting you used |
|
| 25:35 | this idea of I need to be to communicate through my writing now your |
|
| 25:41 | lives. You have been used to a paper for your professor, |
|
| 25:46 | If I can use the right language make him feel good about himself for |
|
| 25:49 | , about him herself. She's gonna me a good a or he's gonna |
|
| 25:53 | me a good a that's not how works. Right. Well it does |
|
| 25:57 | some places but it doesn't work for most part. When we write we |
|
| 26:02 | usually writing to an audience, a of people who are gonna be interested |
|
| 26:08 | the subject matter is. So the we do writing here is we are |
|
| 26:12 | to our peers. Alright, so going to do a literature review. |
|
| 26:17 | a whole bunch of topics that are become available right after class and you |
|
| 26:20 | go look up, you can go what the topics are if you like |
|
| 26:23 | join the group, correct each of . I think there's like 20 slots |
|
| 26:27 | each one of them. I think nine topics and there's 130 of |
|
| 26:31 | so plenty of slots. So figure what it is that you're like, |
|
| 26:34 | this sounds interesting to me, sign for that particular slot and now what |
|
| 26:37 | gonna do is you're going to write literature review on whatever that topic happens |
|
| 26:41 | be. So, it's very You don't get to choose your own |
|
| 26:44 | other than through that list. All . And then what you're doing is |
|
| 26:47 | writing to the rest of your In essence on this topic. All |
|
| 26:52 | . It's kind of like writing a article and so you're gonna learn how |
|
| 26:56 | write technically. Alright. You're not be trying to impress me because I |
|
| 27:00 | grade these. Guess who grades You do. That's the peer review |
|
| 27:06 | . Everyone refuse reviews. Five this is completely blind. You will |
|
| 27:11 | know whose paper you're getting and it's to be one of those other |
|
| 27:14 | You can get the same topic. know, papers from people who wrote |
|
| 27:17 | the same material, You can get from other things. This kind of |
|
| 27:22 | people. It's easy mode. I it easy for you guys. I'm |
|
| 27:26 | show you why here in a second . This is like a test grade |
|
| 27:29 | you. It's about 18. It's . Alright. And so this is |
|
| 27:33 | of what it looks like. I to back up because now I'm like |
|
| 27:36 | mode. Alright. So what we're do is uh on september 9th you |
|
| 27:40 | have your topic picked out. So like three weeks. Okay. That's |
|
| 27:45 | , right? And then the following you need to find at least 10 |
|
| 27:50 | . Alright, so the instructions are , you'll be able to do |
|
| 27:52 | So that's by the next friday. then each of these stages are going |
|
| 27:56 | be, there's a peer review each of them and literally peer reviews |
|
| 27:59 | no time through this portion. So you get a minimum number of |
|
| 28:04 | and you start writing your discussion outline on the sources that you've already |
|
| 28:08 | and then you start writing your introduction on the materials that you have gathered |
|
| 28:12 | kind of saying, how do I this material? So the idea is |
|
| 28:15 | I'm slowly putting a paper together over and then eventually what I'm gonna have |
|
| 28:19 | I'm gonna start working on my my draft here. So from here to |
|
| 28:23 | you can see we have about a , so you can get that main |
|
| 28:26 | done. Then that goes out to review. You get your results |
|
| 28:29 | you bitch it to me for a while and I say quit worrying about |
|
| 28:32 | , go and make these changes. you'll do some revisions on it and |
|
| 28:36 | you resubmit it and it gets re by all of you guys. And |
|
| 28:39 | the end of that you'll have a . You will see that you go |
|
| 28:42 | here to there. You'll see improvement your writing. You'll be looking at |
|
| 28:45 | people's papers. You'll see, This is how they did it. |
|
| 28:48 | want to kind of do that We're not talking to plagiarism part. |
|
| 28:51 | talking like you're basically using each other help sharpen each other as writers and |
|
| 28:57 | how we become better writers. It's me reading the same paper over and |
|
| 29:01 | again and getting frustrated and wondering why don't drink harder. That's a |
|
| 29:08 | Thank you. All right. So to give you a sense of how |
|
| 29:11 | the weight of these things is. I mean this is based on your |
|
| 29:15 | your final grade. So picking your 5%.5% of your final grade, your |
|
| 29:21 | .5%, then 1%, That first here is 5% of your final grade |
|
| 29:27 | the last draft is worth 9%. if you sum all that up, |
|
| 29:30 | 18% of your final grade. All now with all this in mind and |
|
| 29:33 | these deadlines, I need to point here that the software that we use |
|
| 29:36 | is turned it in. And because attached to a peer review. These |
|
| 29:40 | really kind of hard deadlines it's very difficult if you miss an assignment failed |
|
| 29:45 | turn it in on time and there's little bit of leeway there. I'm |
|
| 29:49 | you guys to turn it in like 24 hours or something. But if |
|
| 29:51 | fail them as deadlines you basically lose the points for that section. So |
|
| 29:55 | need to be diligent in getting these done alright but it's not hard in |
|
| 29:59 | way that this is spread out it's a lot of effort in other words |
|
| 30:03 | not like just throwing a paper in lap saying I want by next |
|
| 30:06 | All right you've got time to kind work on it so that's kind of |
|
| 30:11 | scary part of the class but no has complained so much that I've taken |
|
| 30:15 | out. Yeah template. Yeah so you need to know about the writing |
|
| 30:20 | . So again if you go on there is a folder that says writing |
|
| 30:23 | . There are example papers there are I'm you're gonna see I'm a pretty |
|
| 30:29 | person. Would you agree? I'm of talking yeah I have when I |
|
| 30:33 | I write stuff I'm just like that I have like pages of instructions for |
|
| 30:38 | to go through. Anyone here ever Otero no one knows what's Otero raise |
|
| 30:44 | hands high I mean be proud of . Yeah I got Sotero look at |
|
| 30:47 | the other people looking at you who these Sotero is your new friend? |
|
| 30:52 | . Should I tell them Sotero is a way to Dubai biographies in easy |
|
| 30:58 | . Right? And once you find about it and start using your gonna |
|
| 31:02 | why no one ever told you about before. Okay. But I'm just |
|
| 31:05 | let you know. So terra we'll there when it's time. All right |
|
| 31:10 | yes all that's online. Alright so just summarizing here. Don't don't be |
|
| 31:16 | . I see that look on your , you're like I don't know about |
|
| 31:19 | . All right. So just to you a sense of of the grapes |
|
| 31:23 | , you have four exams. Each worth 18%. We have a writing |
|
| 31:28 | that's 18%. If you do the there 18 times five is Oh you |
|
| 31:35 | didn't know there was gonna be Did you 90? So that means |
|
| 31:39 | those uh those assessments you know to that you've done the reading, that's |
|
| 31:43 | of your grade. So not hard everyone asks, is there a |
|
| 31:48 | There's a science class? Every science has a curve, hasn't it? |
|
| 31:52 | . Yeah. Aren't you? Things , thank you. Alright, this |
|
| 31:56 | is really simple. I'm gonna scare with some numbers but don't be |
|
| 31:59 | Right? I shoot for average is 65. So that would be a |
|
| 32:03 | c right at a 65 failing grade 50 in this class so you're like |
|
| 32:10 | right but you know that upper we're not gonna see a lot of |
|
| 32:13 | bumping up to that 100. Usually high grade in the class is around |
|
| 32:16 | to 94. Alright. But that's and it's because it's a curve. |
|
| 32:20 | what I do is I do a distribution. Guys taking statistics who here |
|
| 32:26 | to take Calgary instead. I'm gonna to have a word with the advising |
|
| 32:34 | . Statistics. Statistics what? Oh good good. Statistics is the |
|
| 32:41 | You'll use calculus. You'll never use again in your entire life. I |
|
| 32:46 | . I know it's it's really disappointing hear but it's kind of like taking |
|
| 32:49 | for three semesters you'll never use again when you go to that mexican restaurant |
|
| 32:53 | you're like okay and the guy will at you, it's like dude, |
|
| 32:58 | don't know what you say. It's stats stats is where it's at all |
|
| 33:03 | ? So what we do is we a normalized distribution which means I take |
|
| 33:06 | great. I put it in You know and I figure out where |
|
| 33:10 | curve is. And from once I that curve I figure out where that |
|
| 33:13 | C. Is based on the median then I and determine where the boundaries |
|
| 33:17 | for abc and so on. So I'm talking about a curve, this |
|
| 33:21 | not I'm adding three points to everybody make you all feel a little bit |
|
| 33:24 | . This is not an ego This is to ensure that everyone is |
|
| 33:28 | an equalized distribution in terms of the . Alright. Typically this helps out |
|
| 33:33 | CS. Ds and Fs. And the low bees. Alright. But |
|
| 33:37 | you're in the A. Range curves gonna help you. If you're in |
|
| 33:40 | top B range, they're not particularly . There might be a little |
|
| 33:44 | But for the most part, these the people they help. All |
|
| 33:47 | I'll just let you know right We haven't seen a lot of Fs |
|
| 33:49 | this class in a long time. students get Ws instead, right? |
|
| 33:54 | very rarely do we see these at . So, I think like last |
|
| 33:59 | I might have had three F. not gonna tell you how many w |
|
| 34:01 | have to talk about that. All . So as and Bs. Um |
|
| 34:06 | what we're shooting. We're shooting Everyone's shooting for an A. All |
|
| 34:10 | . Just let you know every semester make the same announcement. It's |
|
| 34:15 | Every semester. If everyone gets an . In the class. I |
|
| 34:18 | you can't draw. There's no w gets an A. In the class |
|
| 34:21 | having a party. I'm gonna I'm a kegger. And even if you |
|
| 34:25 | drink, we'll find something for Alright. No. 32 Semesters. |
|
| 34:34 | . Still waiting. All right. want to throw that party. |
|
| 34:39 | because again, like I said, goals or your goals. I want |
|
| 34:42 | to achieve your goals. I'm not as a gatekeeper? I'm not here |
|
| 34:45 | say no. I don't think you go. I don't think you're |
|
| 34:48 | My job is to help you achieve goals. Part of that is me |
|
| 34:52 | you work harder than you've worked Part of it is me sitting here |
|
| 34:56 | , all right, let's let's kind figure out how to work through this |
|
| 34:59 | . All right. Now, there's some other random stuff on blackboard. |
|
| 35:03 | gonna have some sort of slide here the life of the cell if you've |
|
| 35:06 | seen that. I actually don't think have it for your class. That |
|
| 35:08 | be for another class. So don't about that. But I got these |
|
| 35:11 | folders here. If you're if you're and want to go look at videos |
|
| 35:14 | thought were interesting on one of your from a couple years back. That |
|
| 35:17 | interesting there in those folders. they're not necessary in any way, |
|
| 35:22 | or form. They're just interesting to . So I just told you a |
|
| 35:27 | bunch of stuff and of course I've so you can always go back and |
|
| 35:30 | to it. But there is on at 2 30. That's when our |
|
| 35:34 | ends. Right, Okay. There's an assessment to say, Hey, |
|
| 35:38 | you listen to me? Right. basically asks you, you know some |
|
| 35:42 | the facts like how many tests are . How many tests are there? |
|
| 35:45 | . Okay. See that their check . Right. So that's the type |
|
| 35:48 | thing. And you you can do assessments as many times as you need |
|
| 35:52 | write this one until you get a score on it. So um That's |
|
| 35:57 | I'm shooting for for the other You only get two attempts. You |
|
| 35:59 | the risk assessments. Really? The for that is I want to make |
|
| 36:02 | you read that you didn't ask your what they read. All right. |
|
| 36:06 | , I want you to be able do your own assessments there. All |
|
| 36:09 | . But this one is due on September which is two weeks next |
|
| 36:15 | Okay. Next week. So I that's two weeks really kind of the |
|
| 36:18 | of that Friday. So two All right. Alright. So this |
|
| 36:22 | where we pause. Look at what is it? 1 36. |
|
| 36:27 | so not too bad. Only 36 . I mean normally I go 45 |
|
| 36:32 | . This is where you get to me questions about the stuff. I |
|
| 36:34 | told you got questions about the test . Anything else? Yes. So |
|
| 36:38 | before we go and I do see you see the light in my |
|
| 36:43 | I mean I love you guys to up and look straight back cause it's |
|
| 36:46 | it's basically like just light and then so if I can't see you raise |
|
| 36:51 | hand. You might have to move little bit if you're kind of in |
|
| 36:54 | area, okay if I'm over here still can't see. No there we |
|
| 36:58 | . This is where I can start people, so go ahead. Yeah |
|
| 37:07 | no yes, so there won't So on a day of an exam |
|
| 37:10 | obviously there's no reading, a reading always leading to a lecture, |
|
| 37:15 | So so let's just use thursday this . There's gonna be a reading tonight |
|
| 37:20 | thursday's lecture, right? But when have that exam on september 13th there |
|
| 37:25 | no lecture. Ergo there's no reading the 13th of september so did I |
|
| 37:31 | the question? But you don't you have a quiz if there's no |
|
| 37:36 | So quizzes are attached to reading Alright, I'm gonna give you a |
|
| 37:40 | thing here real quick. I hate anyone's taking me has heard me say |
|
| 37:45 | , I don't like grades in grades are are not the best way |
|
| 37:50 | determine qualification they're not right? But there's no better way, it's just |
|
| 37:58 | know, I have to have some of stick to kind of make you |
|
| 38:01 | let's say how many of you would the book? I just read the |
|
| 38:07 | Really? You sure? Because I do it. I have to based |
|
| 38:12 | things on what I would do and not gonna I'm not gonna read |
|
| 38:15 | you got to read this and I have to write because there's a great |
|
| 38:20 | to it you're more inclined to do right? Even if it doesn't seem |
|
| 38:25 | it's fun like I mean how many you like just like doing homework? |
|
| 38:30 | that's what I thought. Right. you know why those online courses like |
|
| 38:36 | know like a cons academy and I don't know if there was like |
|
| 38:39 | . Labs that came out of I. T. And you know |
|
| 38:41 | those things all failed? No one self motivated. 0.3% success rate. |
|
| 38:49 | completion success rates out of those That means three people out of every |
|
| 38:54 | . Right? I know a lot you guys like to work out |
|
| 38:59 | I'm seeing a couple of you guys to exercise the morning. Yeah. |
|
| 39:02 | of us need some sort of incentive get up and exercise. I get |
|
| 39:06 | and exercise because I have a friend have to meet if I don't show |
|
| 39:10 | I'm leaving him in the lurch. right. The rest of us would |
|
| 39:13 | be like forget it. Alright. got one more question and I'll answer |
|
| 39:17 | questions. Does it matter? I'm curious does better though. Do you |
|
| 39:32 | ? I know I know you I know what you guys are. |
|
| 39:37 | not gonna say the word, I'll it later now it is it |
|
| 39:41 | So you have one of those those right? A regular quiz before every |
|
| 39:48 | there's 24 lectures. So there's 24 and then you have the orientation |
|
| 39:52 | The one that we're just this this . So that's one out of |
|
| 39:57 | And that's 10% of your total So, what does that make |
|
| 40:06 | Yeah, I know. That's that's why I'm I'm Yeah. No, |
|
| 40:13 | it's okay. I'm part of I this. Part of the reason I |
|
| 40:16 | this is because your entire life. many guys your entire life? You |
|
| 40:20 | there's only two grades in this And f is that how you been |
|
| 40:24 | ? Yeah. Yeah. I mean I'm gonna break you of that? |
|
| 40:32 | . I'm gonna break you of I want you to achieve the highest |
|
| 40:34 | can achieve, but it's not about grade. If all you're here for |
|
| 40:37 | just to get an a good luck that's not how this class works. |
|
| 40:43 | right. Now, yes. You see metric lee how it's gonna |
|
| 40:46 | But you know how you get good in this class? He learned That's |
|
| 40:57 | , right. You can go through over and over and over again. |
|
| 41:00 | see it time and time again. take a class. You get a |
|
| 41:03 | grade. Take a class. Get grade. Take a class and expects |
|
| 41:06 | to learn something. You don't have baseline on what you're gonna build that |
|
| 41:09 | screwed. Right? This is the where it all changes. All |
|
| 41:14 | You're gonna work hard. You're gonna stuff because I'm not gonna be the |
|
| 41:18 | lying on that table with you and don't know. I took the class |
|
| 41:22 | I didn't read the assignment. I don't wanna be that person. |
|
| 41:26 | I'm training a lot of you guys go into these health professions. I |
|
| 41:30 | to be able to look up to that person right there. That's a |
|
| 41:32 | who I trained and while they may mauling me. You see Klaus |
|
| 41:39 | I have 100% confidence they can do I expected them now. Having said |
|
| 41:45 | . Let's go ahead to your Hmm. Yes. Yeah. And |
|
| 41:55 | the reason for that. All So, if you go and look |
|
| 41:58 | the syllabus, you're gonna see that is something missing from all the stuff |
|
| 42:03 | there that you think should probably be . Now. It'll take you a |
|
| 42:07 | while to do. I just because I teach a class, it's |
|
| 42:11 | , there's no immunology, how much immunology you guys know? How much |
|
| 42:16 | you think? You know I we've been inundated with it for months |
|
| 42:20 | months and months, but you don't , Jack. And I'm And |
|
| 42:24 | that's not a like, you don't . You don't In fact I walk |
|
| 42:28 | my department and I see colleagues of behaving in ways that are incongruent, |
|
| 42:32 | like that word incongruent incongruent with what would expect. People with biological knowledge |
|
| 42:38 | the level of a PhD and it's okay we need to learn some |
|
| 42:43 | And so since immunology is normally of that's taught on its own because it's |
|
| 42:48 | vast and large and scary and It was the first class I learned |
|
| 42:51 | genetics was not the genetics I was . Yeah. I mean this was |
|
| 42:56 | before epa genetics was a thing for . Yeah. It was like what |
|
| 43:00 | ? Not all cells have the same . N. A. That was |
|
| 43:03 | first thing. Yeah I learned that I was like no no that can't |
|
| 43:07 | be true. And that was when whole world was blown open. It |
|
| 43:10 | just like no I don't know anything the purpose of that is to kind |
|
| 43:15 | explore an aspect of immunology that you be interested. I know many of |
|
| 43:20 | are gonna go right to viruses. know that's gonna be the case. |
|
| 43:24 | . Only 20 slots. So just you know. All right. Another |
|
| 43:29 | anyway. Yeah go ahead then we'll over here. Uh No it's just |
|
| 43:40 | . Yeah. Because the one thing hate is repeating myself. You know |
|
| 43:44 | I hate? That's right. I . I actually do. I have |
|
| 43:50 | kids. So I do it a . And uh yeah you're gonna find |
|
| 43:54 | . I might as well tell you I've got two sets of twins. |
|
| 43:56 | it's even there's a lot of repeating my family. My wife is also |
|
| 44:01 | twin, Her sister who's not her also had twins. Oh, and |
|
| 44:08 | a reproductive physiologist. Just kick me the teeth. Right. Anyway. |
|
| 44:14 | . So no, it's just So the reason for that is I |
|
| 44:16 | like getting those emails that say, , how many tests do we have |
|
| 44:19 | can I drop this test or it's kind of to nip that in |
|
| 44:23 | butt. Yeah. Um, so writing center is unnecessary for the |
|
| 44:31 | There used to be a time where required going to the writing center and |
|
| 44:34 | , but we don't do that Or the topics they'll become available I |
|
| 44:37 | right after class at 2 30. . Um, I don't know where |
|
| 44:44 | was gonna go. There was something was gonna say, but I lost |
|
| 44:46 | and it was funny, but you're miss out. So All right, |
|
| 44:50 | let's just deal with this last little here, which will probably take us |
|
| 44:54 | rest of class. I apologize that I am a verbose, so 80% |
|
| 44:59 | the time I spend in my if there's no other questions about, |
|
| 45:03 | , go ahead. Yeah. So the Syllabus actually show you a historical |
|
| 45:13 | and that's again, that's based on over 32 semesters, so it's not |
|
| 45:18 | be true for a semester, but gonna be pretty close. Right? |
|
| 45:24 | fair, fair question. Anyone Yeah. Yeah. So blackboard sucks |
|
| 45:33 | I say that already? Okay so repeating myself. So so if you |
|
| 45:37 | a topic you're like yeah this I don't like it. Just email |
|
| 45:40 | and I'll drop you from, you if you join two groups by accident |
|
| 45:44 | three groups, please don't do You know email me and I'll drop |
|
| 45:47 | from the group that you're not interested . That frees up the slot for |
|
| 45:50 | else, right? But I would you not to drop a group and |
|
| 45:54 | join a group in in the event that group is unavailable. So you |
|
| 45:58 | , but just email me. Any other any others. All |
|
| 46:04 | So let's get into the bit down the weeks. Alright? So I've |
|
| 46:08 | teaching this class for um like 32 almost. This will be my 16th |
|
| 46:13 | actually. This is the end of 15th year, 16th year really kind |
|
| 46:16 | begins in january for me. Um in the time that I've been |
|
| 46:21 | most of my office hours are spent the one question of dr wayne. |
|
| 46:26 | always been an a student, why I getting a C. In your |
|
| 46:30 | ? Right? And I'm not saying to scare you. I really am |
|
| 46:33 | . Alright because there's an answer to and really that answer boils down to |
|
| 46:38 | you have never been taught in your lives. If you think about |
|
| 46:41 | go back all the way back to you were walking up with a little |
|
| 46:45 | pail up into kindergarten and your mom that first picture of you and no |
|
| 46:49 | had ever taught you how to right? No one's ever sat you |
|
| 46:53 | and said, the way to learn is to do blank. Right? |
|
| 46:59 | so your entire academic career is basically and air until something works in that |
|
| 47:05 | class and then you stick with it hopefully you have enough time to maintain |
|
| 47:09 | good grade, right? Or what do is you end up with this |
|
| 47:13 | grade that you can hopefully work your out of. Right? Like think |
|
| 47:17 | organic chemistry, how many guys, was your like favorite class ever? |
|
| 47:21 | person. Two people, right? rest of us are sitting there |
|
| 47:24 | I remember that first test and that test came through and I was wondering |
|
| 47:28 | I had made a wrong choice and I wasn't going to law school, |
|
| 47:33 | ? And the reason is because no ever taught us how to deal with |
|
| 47:36 | question of dealing with organic chemistry and relish it over in the chemistry |
|
| 47:41 | Like I am the keeper of the and you shall never have it. |
|
| 47:46 | I will make fun of these people the day they die because the purpose |
|
| 47:49 | these types of courses is to make material accessible to you all right. |
|
| 47:58 | 80% of my time is spent answering question doing it one on one and |
|
| 48:03 | got tired of it. So about years ago, seven years ago I |
|
| 48:06 | , hey, you know what I'm do for the first day of |
|
| 48:07 | I'm gonna give everybody the lecture, give them one on one. And |
|
| 48:11 | that's what we're gonna talk about is to study and be successful in any |
|
| 48:15 | that you ever take, except for organic. That one is just a |
|
| 48:18 | to everybody. All right. what I want you to do is |
|
| 48:23 | want you to look up here and up here on the left side. |
|
| 48:25 | , and see that on the We got two graphs up here. |
|
| 48:28 | graphs have a name to them. called the Ebbing House forgetting curve. |
|
| 48:33 | you regret sitting up here? The House forgetting curve literally is a device |
|
| 48:40 | demonstrates how well we retain information when a piece of information. And |
|
| 48:45 | this is a random uh picture I off the internet. I mean it |
|
| 48:49 | be for any piece of information but I said like I gave you a |
|
| 48:52 | digit number and said, I want remember the six digit number I gave |
|
| 48:55 | to you over time. You would that your ability to remember that number |
|
| 48:59 | decrease over time and you can see this scale it's going from time 0 |
|
| 49:04 | 31 days. So basically a how much time do we have between |
|
| 49:08 | exam? Mhm. We have basically weeks or six classes or almost a |
|
| 49:17 | . You see we're doing a lot funny business with the numbers. Now |
|
| 49:22 | , this is not a real But you can see here says, |
|
| 49:24 | , if I give you that six number, 16 digit number in 30 |
|
| 49:28 | , you would be able to remember of it or what we can say |
|
| 49:31 | if we asked 100 people how many remember it completely? It would be |
|
| 49:35 | 21%. You can kind of do one way or the other. So |
|
| 49:38 | really kind of shows you is if waited, if I took that piece |
|
| 49:40 | information and I waited 31 days to it. There's a chance that I'd |
|
| 49:46 | to say that I wouldn't recall I'd have to teach myself that |
|
| 49:50 | That's what that says. So now apply this to actual information that we're |
|
| 49:55 | . We're learning not one thing in , we're learning lots of things in |
|
| 50:00 | and we repeat this over and over for a period of six courses and |
|
| 50:04 | we say tell us everything that you and memorized. But if you've never |
|
| 50:08 | back and looked at it, each of those pieces of information have decayed |
|
| 50:13 | that same sort of curve. So you are, the night before the |
|
| 50:17 | and that first piece of information is 21%. So in essence you now |
|
| 50:21 | to learn 80% of that material all your own? The night before the |
|
| 50:28 | , which means we have to cram is never successful. Have you noticed |
|
| 50:33 | is never successful? It's kind it's successful enough to keep me |
|
| 50:36 | but not enough to like woo I'm a champion. All right, |
|
| 50:42 | could accomplish the same thing if you never come to class and you just |
|
| 50:48 | till the end of the semester and yourself the exact same thing, How |
|
| 50:53 | guys do that stop coming to You can raise your hand. It's |
|
| 51:00 | . We're gonna look back in about weeks, we're gonna look around the |
|
| 51:05 | and see how many people show Alright. And you can teach yourself |
|
| 51:09 | same stuff, but there's something you do to prevent that from happening and |
|
| 51:18 | basically interrupting the cycle. Here's the curve, Right? And it |
|
| 51:25 | look, if I interrupt the cycle I'm still on the forgetting side because |
|
| 51:29 | gonna be a natural decay. But I go back and do a little |
|
| 51:32 | of practice, I can bring myself to 100% learned. And that decay |
|
| 51:40 | it still occurs is a lot less . And then if I practice |
|
| 51:46 | I can prevent the decay again and slows down the decay. So when |
|
| 51:50 | gets down time to prepare for an or to demonstrate that I have |
|
| 51:54 | I've got a lot less work to , wait a second doctor. When |
|
| 52:00 | you telling me that if I practice , I'll get better at something. |
|
| 52:05 | , athletes figured this out a long ago. You'd think that the spark |
|
| 52:10 | would have figured it out too. no, we don't, we just |
|
| 52:13 | there and go, no, I don't like studying because do we |
|
| 52:15 | studying? No, I like It's hard, it makes me feel |
|
| 52:21 | . It makes me feel stupid and I don't like myself and then I |
|
| 52:24 | bad about myself and I want to under a hole and please don't talk |
|
| 52:27 | me and I should have gone to school? No, wow studying and |
|
| 52:35 | proficient in a field is simply a of managing your time and organizing |
|
| 52:42 | That's all it is. There is special smartness you need to have in |
|
| 52:47 | to be successful. It's just being at organizing yourself and making sure you |
|
| 52:52 | things regularly. That's all it If I want to become strong, |
|
| 52:56 | work out on a regular basis. I want to become wise or have |
|
| 53:00 | of knowledge about something, I just it over and over and over and |
|
| 53:03 | again. How many guys play instruments you proficient do you practice regularly? |
|
| 53:12 | ? Okay. Anyone else? I some hands over here? Yeah. |
|
| 53:17 | practice it regularly. Yeah. Are good? Could you stop practicing? |
|
| 53:25 | . But when you did it, you good? Yeah, I |
|
| 53:29 | even my daughter who is not particularly , she plays the marimba. She's |
|
| 53:34 | . She's not particularly good. But she practices she's really good. When |
|
| 53:38 | blows things off, which is she does the opposite of this. |
|
| 53:42 | not that good. My son who regularly plays euphonium, he's really |
|
| 53:48 | Alright. I got two other kids are about to be in a |
|
| 53:50 | It's gonna be a really loud house , three brass instruments. I'm not |
|
| 53:54 | pleased. All right. So so the way to study is not |
|
| 53:59 | the last minute, it's to interrupt cycle. So what I'm gonna suggest |
|
| 54:04 | to do is to do something that gonna feel uncomfortable at first, just |
|
| 54:08 | working out does it always feels uncomfortable first when you start up. But |
|
| 54:12 | you start doing it regularly becomes a pattern in your life. And when |
|
| 54:15 | start doing this, you're gonna find you spend less time that sound |
|
| 54:20 | Less time studying. More time learning you learn more get better grades. |
|
| 54:29 | it's a trifecta less time studying. learning better grades. Sound good. |
|
| 54:34 | do I know this works? one I see grades go up when |
|
| 54:37 | do it, but to I always emails back from students who have done |
|
| 54:39 | gun on a professional and they say a third year student, I've done |
|
| 54:42 | you told me to do, and kicking but I'm beating everybody in my |
|
| 54:47 | , and I'm like, yeah, right. So, first off four |
|
| 54:53 | , you read the book that gives knowledge pre knowledge going in, so |
|
| 54:56 | basically have a great understanding of what's on. All right, after |
|
| 55:00 | you've been inundated with exactly what you to learn. So what you're gonna |
|
| 55:03 | is you're gonna sit down and you're take that information and you're gonna organize |
|
| 55:07 | yourself, put it in your own , organized in such a way that |
|
| 55:10 | makes sense to you, because if studying off my notes, you're using |
|
| 55:15 | notes to myself to help remind me it is I need to talk |
|
| 55:19 | So, you need to make your notes to yourself to remind you of |
|
| 55:22 | you're trying to learn. That's gonna the first step, alright? You |
|
| 55:27 | don't want to understudy are over but dr William, how do I |
|
| 55:30 | what to study? I don't know to study because that's a scary thing |
|
| 55:33 | there in the classroom. Like, don't know what to study. |
|
| 55:35 | very simple when I walk into First thing today, we're gonna learn |
|
| 55:38 | blank. So you walk out of classroom, what did what should you |
|
| 55:42 | yourself? Did I learn blank? if you can answer that question, |
|
| 55:49 | you know what you need to and if you can answer that |
|
| 55:52 | one of two things happened. Either failed. Which is a possibility but |
|
| 55:56 | likely. I mean, I do but probably not in this because I've |
|
| 56:00 | it so many times, right? maybe you stop paying attention. And |
|
| 56:05 | face it, me talking for an and 20 minutes is tough. I |
|
| 56:11 | I used to sit in your I know where I said the back |
|
| 56:14 | back there and I fell asleep in single one of my classes. And |
|
| 56:18 | , here I am. All So what you wanna do is you |
|
| 56:22 | to basically not over study overstayed. all done that right. Where you're |
|
| 56:25 | ? You study study study way too . You're gonna take this like really |
|
| 56:29 | this? That was easy understanding. you're going to test your like this |
|
| 56:33 | in the class? Yeah. That's the wrong direction. Alright. |
|
| 56:38 | before class is really, it's a step right before class you read, |
|
| 56:41 | take you don't necessarily to take notes you have time. If you're fast |
|
| 56:44 | this, you should really be reading terms of like for for identifying where |
|
| 56:50 | is Alright. During class you show and you pay attention. There's a |
|
| 56:53 | high, high correlation between attendance to and uh performance and of course. |
|
| 57:00 | right. Do you notice how your suck during online classes even? No |
|
| 57:06 | how hard you tried. You it just it just didn't work. |
|
| 57:09 | part of it is because when people feeding us information, it's really |
|
| 57:12 | But when I sit here and I , hey, um this is sea |
|
| 57:16 | and I'm Shamu and you guys are splash zone and I start pulling you |
|
| 57:18 | up to do stuff. These people going, I'm so glad I'm not |
|
| 57:21 | in the front row. But I when Dr Wayne did this, |
|
| 57:26 | You're gonna remember stupid stuff I And I do a lot of stupid |
|
| 57:30 | . All right. You're gonna You're gonna attach thoughts and ideas to |
|
| 57:34 | that you experience. That's where the comes in. Alright? So show |
|
| 57:39 | . Pay attention lastly, is after when it's all fresh in your |
|
| 57:42 | Remember that ebbing house curve. That's you sit down and you organize your |
|
| 57:46 | . What did I learn today? gonna be fresh in your brain so |
|
| 57:49 | can sit down and start writing this and it's gonna make him sense to |
|
| 57:53 | , right? If you wait for days. If you wait for that |
|
| 57:57 | . I mean, you may have wait that night for every moment you |
|
| 58:00 | . You're gonna lose some of that . It means you're gonna have to |
|
| 58:03 | harder to retain it. And if wait until the last minute you're teaching |
|
| 58:07 | to yourself and you might as well come. All right. And if |
|
| 58:11 | practice questions, you want to be to do those as well. We |
|
| 58:15 | have a practice question in the Now this is this is a junior |
|
| 58:20 | level class, we'll have practice exam but we don't have homeworks, which |
|
| 58:24 | really what that kind of refers Yeah. And those will become available |
|
| 58:30 | the last day of class, right the exam. Yeah. So how |
|
| 58:35 | we do this? All right. basically what you wanna do is |
|
| 58:37 | when you create your notes, you to identify the topics and really what |
|
| 58:40 | got to look for is if you think of your notes, right? |
|
| 58:43 | being a series of learning objectives, the term that we use as as |
|
| 58:47 | educator learning objective, simply as the I need to learn. Right? |
|
| 58:51 | so there you can think of is , what are the different topics? |
|
| 58:54 | so when I'm giving a lec what should be looking for or when does |
|
| 58:57 | transition from one idea to the It doesn't matter what class, I'm |
|
| 59:01 | talking about my class, but it be a history class, it could |
|
| 59:04 | a language class anytime you see someone , I'm talking about X and now |
|
| 59:08 | now talking about why when I see pivot, I've now moved into a |
|
| 59:12 | learning objective and you can actually identify and just kind of little mark on |
|
| 59:16 | slide. So for example, if was doing the digestive system, I'd |
|
| 59:19 | today, we're gonna talk about the your system. So you should know |
|
| 59:22 | you walk out of the classroom, going to talk about the or learn |
|
| 59:24 | the digestive system. The digestive system at the mouth and ends at the |
|
| 59:30 | . Okay, well, there's a and so it basically goes from the |
|
| 59:33 | to the esophagus, esophagus, to stomach, stomach to the small |
|
| 59:37 | large intestine and down to the That's where you are. And then |
|
| 59:40 | some accessory organs and all of a you're like, wait a second. |
|
| 59:43 | see what we got here. We've a mouth. That's one thing we |
|
| 59:46 | an esophagus. That's another thing we a stomach. That's another thing. |
|
| 59:49 | got a small intestine. We've got large intestine. We've got all these |
|
| 59:52 | on the side. Wow, those the topics I have to know. |
|
| 59:56 | so, you know, that's the that you're going to be organizing. |
|
| 59:59 | right now, the good news, don't have to know any of that |
|
| 60:01 | today. Right? But do you how I'm showing you those transitions. |
|
| 60:05 | like something different Must be happening. you see something named differently, it |
|
| 60:09 | be different. Right? An epidermis dermis are different. Why? Because |
|
| 60:16 | named differently now because they have features are different, But you name them |
|
| 60:20 | . So that you can distinguish between two things. All right, If |
|
| 60:25 | ever get lost, understand what we're with this physiology. There's some anatomy |
|
| 60:30 | here as well. But anatomy and , this makes your life easy. |
|
| 60:34 | basically structure function. So, if like, I don't know what I'm |
|
| 60:38 | , just ask the question what what are involved. So what's the anatomy |
|
| 60:42 | what are they doing if you open the hood of a car and I |
|
| 60:45 | pointing around saying this is this and is this, this is this and |
|
| 60:48 | is what it does. You might like, oh, that's scary. |
|
| 60:50 | if you start writing this stuff you're like, oh, so what's |
|
| 60:53 | thing that allows the gas to go here to there? What's this? |
|
| 60:57 | you'll be able to see that its , Right? That's the structure that |
|
| 61:00 | that to occur. That's the So that's kind of how you're approaching |
|
| 61:04 | material. Again, we're not gonna you in the deep end, We're |
|
| 61:07 | to ease our way into this And we're gonna see some patterns very |
|
| 61:12 | on. So you're gonna see the unit is gonna build or give you |
|
| 61:16 | of a baseline to understand everything that gonna need to know. Looking at |
|
| 61:19 | system we're looking at later and there things that are shared from system to |
|
| 61:22 | system. So each lecture you can of structurally is a bunch of sub |
|
| 61:30 | , right? So digest system all different structures. And then each of |
|
| 61:35 | have some unique details that are associated them, right? And that's what |
|
| 61:40 | looking for. What are those descriptive make one thing unique from something |
|
| 61:43 | Once you identify that, you know to study most of you. When |
|
| 61:47 | study, if you think about you have. Here's the big |
|
| 61:50 | Here's the sub topics below and then are the details down below. You |
|
| 61:54 | spend all your time down here right? You don't understand the connections |
|
| 61:59 | stuff. Turn it upside down. what's the big picture? What are |
|
| 62:04 | things that are dependent upon that big ? What do these details mean relative |
|
| 62:09 | that subtopic? Oh, I can now why this and this are important |
|
| 62:14 | understanding this idea because now you're connecting alright. You work in a direction |
|
| 62:21 | the details. You don't stay at details. All right. You want |
|
| 62:25 | build your knowledge towards that. I that kind of didn't make a lot |
|
| 62:30 | sense, but we'll see this here just a second. All right. |
|
| 62:33 | some of the things you do is don't alright ever done this to a |
|
| 62:36 | . Yeah, highlighters are not You know, color guys to show |
|
| 62:41 | what you read. You know, are there to highlight to pull out |
|
| 62:45 | to look at. Um If you a coloring book, there are anatomy |
|
| 62:48 | books. They're actually kind of Um You know. Anyway, so |
|
| 62:53 | know when you're reading stuff, remember you're trying to do is you're trying |
|
| 62:56 | pull information out that's important, You don't want to rewrite everything you |
|
| 63:00 | from your notes or from your You just want the important information. |
|
| 63:04 | . Uh, don't write everything using language that's in the book. Use |
|
| 63:08 | own language to explain stuff. You're see that when I talk and try |
|
| 63:11 | explain things to you, I'm gonna to relate ideas to you. |
|
| 63:14 | when I talk about the cardiovascular system talk about arteries and veins, I'm |
|
| 63:18 | talk about traffic in Houston because we're familiar with traffic in Houston, aren't |
|
| 63:23 | ? Right. You understand highways? happens when there's too much going on |
|
| 63:27 | the highway? What happens? Guess ? You know what happens in the |
|
| 63:31 | system too as a result of your of Houston traffic. So use things |
|
| 63:38 | examples to help you understand something, able to explain things to yourself. |
|
| 63:43 | if you're in study groups, find to explain things to other people. |
|
| 63:46 | you're in a study group, you to listen, you learn to talk |
|
| 63:49 | ? You don't just sit there and memorize stuff, learn how to explain |
|
| 63:53 | and this is the way I always it. It's not meant to be |
|
| 63:56 | any way shape or form. I to be able to explain something so |
|
| 63:59 | my mother could understand it. My mother has two masters degree but |
|
| 64:02 | never took a lick of biology and had to explain to her what I |
|
| 64:06 | doing when I was in grad So when you're sitting there trying to |
|
| 64:09 | molecular biology to somebody who's smart but never taken the class, you gotta |
|
| 64:13 | out a way to explain stuff and kind of what you're doing, |
|
| 64:16 | That's why it's not insulting. Is mom may never have a bad or |
|
| 64:20 | not have a background in this, if you could explain it to |
|
| 64:23 | you're in the right place. Anyone gone grocery shopping with the list. |
|
| 64:29 | , when you write your list, make full sentences, grammar check |
|
| 64:33 | No. Right. So remember when doing your notes, abbreviations and |
|
| 64:40 | even if you're not an artist or friends. Alright, we say this |
|
| 64:44 | this is about efficiency and time. right, it is, your job |
|
| 64:48 | not to be a medical illustrator. if you're planning on that in the |
|
| 64:52 | , awesome. But for the class for the purpose of learning something, |
|
| 64:55 | just need to have a quick um understanding of what it is that you're |
|
| 64:59 | , you don't go to the grocery and say I need to buy cheddar |
|
| 65:03 | right? You just put cheese when get to the road you're like |
|
| 65:06 | I know it's cheddar. Now if a special, you know like cheese |
|
| 65:09 | you're buying for the first time you put more detail. So if you're |
|
| 65:13 | something for the first time you might a little bit of extra detail. |
|
| 65:16 | if you keep it simple, that's jog your memory because you've already put |
|
| 65:20 | there. So don't sit there and a lot of time creating flowery beautiful |
|
| 65:25 | . Ladies, I'm talking to you a second. You don't need eight |
|
| 65:28 | . Now if you like eight I'm not gonna tell you to |
|
| 65:31 | I just know the guys don't use colors. They can barely read their |
|
| 65:34 | handwriting. All right. I'm not it's wrong. I'm saying if you |
|
| 65:39 | to be efficient, figure out ways become efficient. All right. Now |
|
| 65:45 | came from a different generation when I to college. This is what college |
|
| 65:48 | all about. All right. So you are studying don't be unfocused. |
|
| 65:56 | , When I say I'm focused, many of you have ever done this |
|
| 65:58 | you sat down? Um And you I'm gonna study right now, you |
|
| 66:02 | down and use it for like 10 minutes and you can kind of |
|
| 66:05 | that Antoninus. You're like, I do this and you go to the |
|
| 66:08 | and clean the bathroom because it is mess, you've never cleaned it, |
|
| 66:11 | pull out that toothbrush, you get the toilet because you know, since |
|
| 66:13 | building has been built and no one's cleaned behind there and right now at |
|
| 66:16 | very moment it is something that you live with. Have you ever done |
|
| 66:21 | ? Yeah. See everyone's not in head may not have been the |
|
| 66:24 | might have been the kitchen, And what you're gonna do is you're |
|
| 66:27 | find different things to do over and again to avoid the study and finally |
|
| 66:30 | two hours or so, you're gonna sit down and study and you're gonna |
|
| 66:33 | for another 10 minutes and you're gonna like, you're gonna get on whatever |
|
| 66:36 | social media and you're gonna say I've studying for 2.5 hours and that's not |
|
| 66:44 | , Right? You've only been studying minutes. So be truthful into your |
|
| 66:50 | of your activity. If you don't , it doesn't matter if you sat |
|
| 66:54 | staring at the ceiling or if you've the bathroom or you took a road |
|
| 66:59 | to Mexico, the result is gonna the same thing. You just have |
|
| 67:02 | stories. If you have road trips Mexico. Right? So if you're |
|
| 67:07 | go down in flames make it Right? The worst, worst story |
|
| 67:12 | can have is I failed this class I clean the bathroom. All |
|
| 67:17 | So if you're gonna be unfocused being , but when you're focused do |
|
| 67:23 | when you say you're gonna study, it. If you can only sit |
|
| 67:25 | 20 minutes then just commit yourself to 20 minutes I swear to you. |
|
| 67:30 | what I did when I was in school for the first semester I said |
|
| 67:33 | going to limit myself to 30 minutes I have a social life and I'm |
|
| 67:36 | giving that up. So 30 minutes would just dive in deep and I |
|
| 67:41 | this is like the first time I studied to be to be truthful, |
|
| 67:44 | ? And I'll just sit there for minutes. And that was enough for |
|
| 67:47 | the stuff that I was doing at time. All right. If you |
|
| 67:51 | your time well and your time you open yourself up to do the |
|
| 67:55 | things in life that you're now leaving . So if you want a social |
|
| 68:00 | , how many guys have given up social life because you're pursuing a career |
|
| 68:04 | medicine, right? All I gotta gotta study. It's not about studying |
|
| 68:09 | , it's about studying better, You can have a social life once |
|
| 68:13 | figured out how to study in grad , it was just a block of |
|
| 68:17 | that I set aside, just like . Not that I did that in |
|
| 68:20 | school, right? It's just a of time. You set aside and |
|
| 68:24 | you create a block for social life you create a block for sleeping and |
|
| 68:27 | create a block for eating and even showers and stuff, right? You |
|
| 68:32 | learn how to manage the time so you can get all the things you |
|
| 68:36 | in life to be able to do and you're not gonna be able to |
|
| 68:40 | everything. But by managing things, gonna become better at doing all the |
|
| 68:44 | that you want to do when you to class, don't come to class |
|
| 68:49 | , I didn't learn anything and I understand stuff. I'm just gonna sit |
|
| 68:52 | quietly and hopefully someday I might get . Ask questions. If you already |
|
| 68:57 | the material, you wouldn't have to the class now. Would you? |
|
| 69:02 | you ever thought about that? You are coming in here as blank |
|
| 69:05 | . Some of you have a little more knowledge than others, but the |
|
| 69:08 | is is not none of you that of you haven't learned your physiology |
|
| 69:11 | So when you come into class and read something and it doesn't make any |
|
| 69:14 | to you. If I said you're looking at me like a deer |
|
| 69:17 | the headlights. Put that hand I mean, look at it. |
|
| 69:20 | , he's the hero. She's freaking . All right. He's the hero |
|
| 69:25 | everyone else is gonna get the answer the question. So, if you |
|
| 69:28 | a question, I can guarantee you other people in this classroom already have |
|
| 69:31 | same question. So ask the So I'm sorry. I don't understand |
|
| 69:35 | . And even if I just explained , I don't mind repeating myself. |
|
| 69:39 | I explain it a different way to you better understand it, right? |
|
| 69:43 | my job. My job is to you understand it. All right. |
|
| 69:47 | you're gonna see I love this stuff get excited about. And I get |
|
| 69:51 | and I go, I want to you like that as well. I |
|
| 69:54 | you to look at it. It's like chemistry. All right. If |
|
| 69:59 | have something out of class, you email me If it's a simple |
|
| 70:03 | If it's more complex, come by see me, I'm not gonna sit |
|
| 70:05 | and make fun of you go, stupid. I don't How do you |
|
| 70:08 | get that? Come on. That's you have professors that do that, |
|
| 70:13 | me know, I'll take them out it's not right. All right. |
|
| 70:21 | , after each class, you're basically you leave this space, remember what |
|
| 70:24 | said is you're already starting to So, this is when you sit |
|
| 70:28 | and what you want to do is 30 minutes to an hour. However |
|
| 70:30 | it takes you to start understanding and that information that you just learned organize |
|
| 70:35 | ideas, right? So, if do this right after class, that's |
|
| 70:38 | best opportunity. Every moment that you , it's gonna is you losing |
|
| 70:44 | And again, if you have to , let's say you have a class |
|
| 70:47 | after this and you have to sprint campus. That's fine. That's |
|
| 70:50 | But don't wait till like tomorrow or or two weeks from now or |
|
| 70:55 | You're gonna lose out on that opportunity you're going to force yourself to work |
|
| 70:59 | for something. You didn't have to so hard for All right. |
|
| 71:03 | this is kind of a review process you to do that ending house |
|
| 71:07 | And then what you're doing is you're preparing the material that you're gonna use |
|
| 71:10 | study for the exam. Yeah. don't use flash cards. I'll tell |
|
| 71:20 | what I'm gonna show you. I'm I'm gonna show you the method |
|
| 71:22 | You know, I feel like I'm infomercial. You have to tell me |
|
| 71:25 | time it is. Good luck. we're getting close. I got 10 |
|
| 71:37 | . I'm gonna show you here. . Yeah. So this is what |
|
| 71:41 | is. All right. What you do, whether you do a study |
|
| 71:45 | ? I could talk about study I don't wanna do that today because |
|
| 71:48 | limited in time. Maybe I can back to it. But what you |
|
| 71:51 | do is you want to create your notes? So, remember you have |
|
| 71:53 | 20 to 30 slides per lecture. many lectures do we have between exams |
|
| 71:58 | ? So, that's about 100 and slides. All right. What you |
|
| 72:02 | do is you want to condense each to about two or three pages of |
|
| 72:04 | . You organized in your own your own organization, so that you |
|
| 72:08 | mastery and understanding of that material. . Let me ask you a simple |
|
| 72:11 | , which would you rather study 202 slides or 18 pages of notes? |
|
| 72:17 | there a difference between the 2? , it's like a pound of lead |
|
| 72:21 | a pound of feathers. Right. amount of information. But already your |
|
| 72:25 | has told you this is easier. see what we've done. Just like |
|
| 72:29 | say what doesn't a pound of feathers less than a pound of lead because |
|
| 72:32 | brain knows feathers are lighter. But a quantity issue. Right? |
|
| 72:36 | what we're dealing with here is by your notes that you now have a |
|
| 72:41 | of notes that you can actually read look at. But I'm gonna tell |
|
| 72:44 | right now. Do not read your . What I heard that what it's |
|
| 72:50 | . It's too good to be Now, what you wanna do is |
|
| 72:53 | wanna take those notes? You want set them aside so you can't look |
|
| 72:55 | them, turn them upside down. look at them. All right. |
|
| 72:59 | the goal here is to remember Alright? Your notes are like your |
|
| 73:05 | . Except you're not You're not trying guess what the questions are gonna be |
|
| 73:08 | all the information that you're gonna be on is right there in those |
|
| 73:11 | blank piece of paper. Worst thing the world. Right? Blank |
|
| 73:15 | What do you put on blank The first thing my name. |
|
| 73:19 | because at least it's not blank. got something down there. Right. |
|
| 73:23 | what you do is that blank piece paper you say? All right. |
|
| 73:24 | was that first lecture about? What the topics? What was it I |
|
| 73:28 | to learn now let me see. is that organization? What was the |
|
| 73:32 | I wrote out? Okay. What the details that help me understand |
|
| 73:35 | And what you do is you start those notes from scratch. All |
|
| 73:38 | You're the first lecture. 2nd All the way through the sixth lecture |
|
| 73:42 | you're done doing that. Take your notes, your fresh notes. The |
|
| 73:44 | notes put them side by side and doing a comparison everything you wrote |
|
| 73:48 | That's in that new set of notes something you know, pat yourself on |
|
| 73:53 | back anything you didn't write down or down incorrectly. Something you don't |
|
| 73:57 | That's something you're gonna miss on the . Alright. So what do I |
|
| 74:01 | ? Do I panic quit now? I'm gonna do is for everything I |
|
| 74:06 | write down, I'm gonna correct my by writing it down. Anything I |
|
| 74:10 | down incorrectly, scratch it out and it. The reason I use say |
|
| 74:14 | and don't type because every time you a muscle requires your brain to |
|
| 74:19 | you can't write without your brain focusing making those muscles move. And so |
|
| 74:23 | you're sitting there, your brain works 10 to 100,000 times faster than your |
|
| 74:28 | actually move. And so while you're there, let's just say, you're |
|
| 74:30 | to write down the quick brown fox over the lazy dog, right your |
|
| 74:34 | , your in your brain, you're the quick brown fox, Quick brown |
|
| 74:36 | , Quick Fox, it's a it's brown, Come on Fox, |
|
| 74:40 | , Fox X. And your hands there going quick. So you're doing |
|
| 74:46 | and tons and tons of repetition without knowing it. All right, the |
|
| 74:51 | time you do this, it's gonna terrible. 5% you get correct, |
|
| 74:54 | after you correct, it take a break, do it again. 20% |
|
| 74:59 | time you do it, 40%. time you do it, 80%. |
|
| 75:02 | time you do it 90% and 95 keep doing this over and over and |
|
| 75:06 | again. However many times you need some of it's gonna be four, |
|
| 75:09 | gonna be eight times, depends on you are and how well you've |
|
| 75:12 | But what you're gonna find is at certain point, you're gonna be able |
|
| 75:15 | recreate your notes from scratch and guess ? There's no question on this earth |
|
| 75:19 | I could ask you, based on notes that you're gonna get wrong because |
|
| 75:23 | already learned everything that you need to , you're gonna spend less time studying |
|
| 75:32 | time learning because you've organized everything you , you're gonna be there's gonna be |
|
| 75:37 | when you're gonna look at your notes go, oh I get it |
|
| 75:41 | I understand. These are no longer words on a page. They actually |
|
| 75:45 | things to me and you're gonna start appreciating what it is that you're |
|
| 75:52 | So you do this and you can like three or four days before the |
|
| 75:56 | , right? A couple, one , a couple, another night, |
|
| 75:58 | couple of other night. Next thing know, it's like, oh, |
|
| 76:00 | know it all. You're gonna be person. You've seen that person in |
|
| 76:02 | at casa, right? The guy the pencil, right? And they're |
|
| 76:07 | like, I can't believe I have be here, right? And you're |
|
| 76:11 | there going through your notes like If I just read them faster. |
|
| 76:15 | hello, stick now. Not before , go to bed early. I |
|
| 76:20 | early, like a decent hour. many of you guys would look forward |
|
| 76:23 | where you're not pounding Red Bull and drinks in that desperate attempt to cram |
|
| 76:28 | that information in your brain, do I just told you you can |
|
| 76:32 | it's 11 o'clock. I started doing in grad school. I figured this |
|
| 76:36 | in grad school every night became a night. Imagine that going before a |
|
| 76:40 | exam, Normal night going out over little Woodrow, having a couple of |
|
| 76:45 | , shooting some pool and then going next day and get an A on |
|
| 76:49 | biochem exam, minimal effort. Because you're learning the information, decent |
|
| 76:58 | . Don't panic. It's just a . It's not your life, you're |
|
| 77:02 | being judged. It's just asking the , Did you learn the information |
|
| 77:09 | Celebrate? It's over. Even if do poorly celebrate who crashed and |
|
| 77:18 | Do I have like three minutes? have no minutes? Alright. |
|
| 77:22 | We're almost done here. I can there's desperation these people out in the |
|
| 77:26 | going but I want to get Alright, multiple choice exams. You |
|
| 77:30 | fear them there the rest of your . You need to know how to |
|
| 77:33 | them. When you take a multiple exam. You started question number |
|
| 77:36 | you read the question. If you the answer off the top of your |
|
| 77:39 | , you answer it. If it you to think for more than a |
|
| 77:43 | . You move on word. The of the sky is blue. That's |
|
| 77:48 | . If you look at it says color of the sky and you go |
|
| 77:49 | the list, you don't see You go wait, I'm not gonna |
|
| 77:52 | with this question right now because there something fishy going on. It's a |
|
| 77:56 | level question. It's a blooms thing we're not going to go into. |
|
| 78:00 | you go through the entire exam 50 you'll probably get through about a quarter |
|
| 78:05 | the exam and you're probably doing about minutes answering all those questions that kind |
|
| 78:09 | pad the grade right? Then you back to that first question. Its |
|
| 78:12 | the sky is you said it's blue you go through the list and you |
|
| 78:15 | something like corn flour. All the go, I know the answer to |
|
| 78:19 | . All the guys are still scratching heads trying to figure it out. |
|
| 78:23 | know we only know like eight how many colors Roy G biv, |
|
| 78:27 | seven. So there's another kind of , you know black too. Alright |
|
| 78:31 | you kind of go through it, like what you're doing now, you're |
|
| 78:34 | with not a knowledge thing but you're to connect ideas together and so what |
|
| 78:40 | do is each time you work through you're you're grinding down the more and |
|
| 78:43 | difficult questions when you get to that where you're doing eliminations, you know |
|
| 78:48 | those eliminations down. If you still answer it, just leave it and |
|
| 78:50 | back eventually. You'll get down to last little bit of your of your |
|
| 78:54 | where there might be two questions and like I don't know it's either a |
|
| 78:57 | at sea and I can't tell it's just don't know the answer and what |
|
| 79:01 | do, what do you do at point? What's that flip a |
|
| 79:06 | That's that's that's that's fair a better is to make an educated guess. |
|
| 79:12 | mean there's gonna be those times where really is like I can't make an |
|
| 79:15 | guess here flipping the corn is just , you can do that for one |
|
| 79:18 | two questions, right? You can't that for 16, right? But |
|
| 79:23 | the trick, A lot of people fearful when they get to this last |
|
| 79:26 | of checking your exam. Alright, this is the last little bit |
|
| 79:30 | When you check your exam, what wanna do is you want to look |
|
| 79:33 | see if the question the answer go , does it make a true |
|
| 79:38 | Because that's ultimately what a multiple choice is is can you make a complete |
|
| 79:41 | statement If the color of the sky blue, if you go through your |
|
| 79:45 | and you see the color of the is green, you're gonna know it's |
|
| 79:47 | , right? I mean that's Now, remember you took the |
|
| 79:51 | you were sitting in the class, learn about cloud, you learn about |
|
| 79:54 | , you learn about that freaky day the sun sets down over the ocean |
|
| 79:58 | it's at that perfect angle to create green sky for a brief second, |
|
| 80:02 | know? And so there are times you're just looking if you look at |
|
| 80:06 | question, all the answers your brain gonna sit there and try to figure |
|
| 80:08 | ways to jam answers into an which is why most of us are |
|
| 80:12 | to death of answering or going back checking our test because if I |
|
| 80:16 | the color of the sky is I've yeah, that's the cloud |
|
| 80:19 | the color of the sky is Maybe he's trying to trick me. |
|
| 80:21 | color of the sky is red. there's a sunset question. The color |
|
| 80:24 | sky is green. Oh yeah, talked about that weird thing in class |
|
| 80:26 | the sunset thing and you're gonna try find ways to shove that question |
|
| 80:31 | But as I said, if you look at the question of your answer |
|
| 80:34 | gonna be clear what what whether or you got it right or wrong. |
|
| 80:38 | that's how you do look at the , look at your answer. If |
|
| 80:40 | makes a true statement, leave it . If it makes a false statement |
|
| 80:44 | you go back and then you correct by going through all the answers |
|
| 80:50 | We're gonna start up here on We're gonna show you how much you |
|
| 80:55 | know about physiology, We're gonna use as a springboard into the rest of |
|
| 81:00 | fun stuff. You guys have a day. Thank you. Thank you |
|
| 81:05 | being my clock. Yes. it's stupid. That's right because I |
|
| 81:16 | to call this lecture zero which got confusing. So I finally moved |
|
