00:04 All right. I think we can ahead and get started. Uh human

00:08 . I'm Doctor Wayne. How are doing today? One person responds

00:15 How are y'all doing today? All , there we go. I'm already

00:20 . Had an 8 30 class, know, in here. I have

00:23 8 30 class. Oh, doesn't suck? Or some of your morning

00:27 are like, no, that's my . No, I mean, all

00:30 . Uh So this is kind of the relevant information about uh who I

00:35 where you can contact me. Uh notice there's no phone number there,

00:39 university got rid of all our our, our phones, so all

00:43 phone, communications through teams. You , how often I get on teams

00:47 many times. So if you need contact me, email me or you

00:52 come by my office. Sr two it is SR 22 21 G uh

00:57 big building over here, the prettier , the tall one that's sr one

01:01 confuse it with SR two, which the little ugly brown building next to

01:05 . That's where I'm at. Um on the second floor I face the

01:09 of the basketball courts or, or basketball arena. So not hard to

01:14 me, but you can email I check email during my business

01:17 If you email me at night, will not respond until the next day

01:20 I magically happen to be on checking email, which you know why.

01:27 , um, so generally speaking, that's the best way to get in

01:30 with me, but you can always by the office during my office

01:32 which is, uh, right before . Well, it's not right before

01:35 but it's 10 to 11 30 if can't come by my office for a

01:40 during that time, uh, you always just email me to make an

01:44 and we'll try to find a time matches for both of us.

01:47 So I'm not trying to avoid It's just, you know,

01:51 I got a lot of things going . I would, I'd like to

01:54 they're important things but they're just lots things. All right. Uh,

01:57 is a picture from a, a remember, um, you know,

02:02 you haven't sent your phone, I you guys all do that now.

02:05 there was a time when students didn't it was really irritating. All

02:09 Um, you've probably gone through uh, you received that email me

02:12 Friday afternoon because I completely forgot to that out. Um, in

02:17 you probably already read everything. But , the most important thing you need

02:20 do is make sure you understand your and what we're gonna be doing in

02:23 classroom, your syllabus is like, , in the user license agreement.

02:27 you don't know what that is, every time you download an app or

02:30 a pro a program or something like , that screen pops up and you

02:33 , I agree where you've probably signed your first born or something horrible and

02:38 don't know about it. That is , and so here we don't have

02:42 hidden in there, you know, basically what it does is it

02:45 this is what this course is gonna about. This is what assignments you're

02:48 have to do. This is what gonna test you on. This is

02:52 you're gonna get your grade. So you know that that's probably good

02:55 but there's also stuff that the university you to know other policies that are

02:59 . So that's all listed within the . Um, and I encourage you

03:04 read through it just so that, know what your rights are and just

03:06 , you know what you're getting yourself , not that there's anything bad,

03:10 , you know, some people are shocked. You mean you're teaching physiology

03:12 this class? Yes, that's what do here. All right. Uh

03:18 if you need uh, accommodation the how to, uh, reach

03:21 or find that accommodation material or is there as well, terms of uh

03:28 , things that you have to absolutely know. Um anything that you really

03:33 from the university, you can I think by law it's required to

03:36 three clicks away from the front like like it's not like super nested

03:41 you can't hide, it's literally within clicks. Um even though it may

03:45 you more than that. So there's easy ways to just use the search

03:49 on the front page, but some some that are kind of important to

03:53 . You should know uh important anyone graduating this semester? Ok.

03:57 you know that you have fees and due mid semester that you probably didn't

04:02 about? I mean, I that a kind of an oxymoron. Did

04:06 know about things you didn't know Yeah. So there are things that

04:09 have to pay in order to We're not letting you go or we're

04:12 gonna give you your diploma until you us more money is kind of how

04:15 university goes. And so with knowing dates, you can find them in

04:18 academic calendar, right? So it's just about when is your uh fall

04:23 and when do finals occur, it has other deadlines that you need to

04:27 about. So I would go and you to look at that, make

04:31 you put things in your calendar so you understand what's going on. The

04:34 big ones of course, are uh, uh, the drop date

04:38 the, so the first one is last day to drop a class without

04:41 grade date. That's, um, those of you who aren't familiar with

04:44 , that's when you say I don't to take this class or I accidentally

04:48 up for a class, so I want it. So it won't appear

04:49 your transcript. That's September 6th. a caveat to that though.

04:55 there's like a two day or three window here in the ad drop period

04:59 , when you can still add classes it's, there's no penalty for adding

05:02 dropping classes. But after the ad period ends, we have this period

05:08 time where you can still drop a and it's not gonna appear in your

05:11 , but we get to keep a of your money and the closer you

05:14 to that date, the more money get to keep. So it's just

05:18 awareness thing. I've had students drop the day after the that date and

05:22 just sad. So if you if you don't like me or this

05:26 do it early, um The other is the last day to get a

05:30 in the class. So there are Ws you're allowed over your academic

05:34 Um The date here it is November . I think it's after your third

05:39 . So you have lots of time consider that I would encourage you not

05:44 do so until you talk to me talk to, if not just my

05:47 , but talk your professor. too often I see students dropping classes

05:51 this because they can't interpret their own . And so they freak out about

05:56 that they don't know. And so seen students with a s drop my

06:00 because they're like, I don't understand grades. I must be getting ad

06:03 like if you talk to me you'd out of here with an A.

06:08 , uh, but just to know have lots of time. So if

06:10 have an emotional catharsis after like the exam and you think you're failing in

06:15 class, don't panic, let the out and then come talk and then

06:20 talk you off the cliff and then can kind of keep moving on.

06:24 . You have plenty of time. don't have to worry about.

06:26 after the first exam, after, when I went to school you had

06:30 two exams, you had to figure out. It was rougher,

06:34 Terms of academic honesty. You guys familiar with this. But let me

06:38 you how many you guys are playing the health professions. You know,

06:41 of the number one things they're looking integrity, right? Integrity. They

06:47 people who do not take advantage of people that are coming to see

06:52 Right. And so one of the here that's most important for you guys

06:55 , uh, to work on and make sure you're not doing is don't

06:58 , don't cheat, don't steal. right. So the lying part is

07:01 the hardest. The cheating is probably second hardest the stealing is probably the

07:06 , although you never know. I , you read in the news all

07:09 time. This doctor, I saw who some, some billions of dollars

07:13 . Uh, oh, I know it was. Excuse me? Was

07:17 Arkansas? It was in Arkansas children's or something up there. There was

07:19 doctor psychiatrist who was, uh, , uh, uh, not incarcerating

07:27 kept keeping patients, you know, were like submitted over the weekend and

07:31 him stay for weeks upon weeks, weeks upon weeks because he was getting

07:35 from the government to keep them That's not good. That's lying.

07:41 and stealing. So let's, let's do that. And just to let

07:44 know how, uh, important it . I had a former student who

07:49 many, many times to get into dental school finally got in and then

07:52 kicked out in her third year for . Don't do that. Ok.

07:57 bad. Anyway, I bring that just because, um, if you

08:02 , uh, a need or a for accommodations, uh, you just

08:05 in dark. That's an easy To get to the accommodations page.

08:09 right. All the other stuff we to tell you. All right.

08:14 you guys grew up with Canvas High ? Yeah. OK. Uh Been

08:19 for 17 years. First time experience Canvas. There are many faculty who

08:24 never worked with Canvas. Have you noticing your faculty? Don't know what

08:26 hell they're doing. OK. Just be clear, we really don't know

08:30 we're doing. All right, they this in our labs said, guess

08:33 ? We're adopting it. There's no . Good luck. All right.

08:38 where we are. So be Not just with me, with everyone

08:42 that we are doing our best and finding out all the bugs and all

08:46 kinks and all the things that it do as well as some of the

08:48 that it does do. So, know, that's where all our stuff

08:52 . So anything you need is gonna there. So I'm do announcements through

08:56 there's light syllabus general policies. Power are always gonna be released right before

09:01 , about 30 minutes before class. you're sitting there going, I want

09:04 more. There's a reason I do , uh, purposefully so that you

09:08 be focused on reading and not reading notes. All right. Um,

09:13 assignments that you have, I don't you have any assignments in this class

09:16 than the, it is, I take that back. You do

09:20 a, a reading assessment that you . Um I also record every

09:24 You see me standing here with the , so I do record it

09:27 So you can always go back and to it. I've been doing this

09:30 literally 17 years. So if you to see what I sounded like in

09:34 first year of teaching, you can and laugh all you want to,

09:38 you'll get bored very quickly. But if a, if a recording,

09:41 , messes up, there's plenty of . All right. So that's all

09:47 through canvas and it's uh, some direct links as well. All

09:51 . The last thing I'd mentioned is grade book. It will record

09:55 but it can't do the math to out what your grade is.

09:58 There's lots of reasons behind that. the functionality of the, uh,

10:04 books in most of these learning management are very basic. It's like here's

10:08 group of grades. What is the of these grades and getting them to

10:13 ? What I want them to do a lot more difficult. So,

10:17 just you can use that as a to say. Oh, yeah,

10:19 the grade I earned. It's, there and we'll worry about how to

10:22 the second. This is your You should all, unless you opted

10:28 , you should all have it. . Is it, is it available

10:32 ? Did you see it? All right. I really wish,

10:36 mean, for your class, I do wish we didn't have c,

10:40 mean, it's great. I love you guys are spending so little money

10:43 books but you don't own anything. a rental, right? This is

10:46 book that you want to hold for rest of your life, but because

10:50 all rental. Sorry? All It is a fantastic resource that you

10:57 , that you could use. So you end up liking it, go

11:01 find a used copy for like 20 because I think the actual book itself

11:05 like 100. Um It will help in cell biology. It will help

11:09 in any graduate class you take. mostly it's, it's really geared,

11:14 know, for medical phys. So a physiology textbook. It is written

11:17 a graduate level. It is not for undergrads, but it's readable except

11:21 like two chapters which are pretty dense . It's fantastic textbook. It's

11:27 You'll see, you'll be using it much for the rest of your life

11:30 this profession if you stay in this . All right. Um So the

11:37 I design courses is uh based on just some, uh I'm gonna use

11:42 here. They're not necessarily good for class, but based on some

11:46 pedagogy, being how to study and to learn. All right. And

11:50 the idea here is that when you to class and if you're just coming

11:54 here to listen to me, you're gonna really learn, right. The

11:57 is that you need to be a learner and self starter. Again,

12:00 many of you guys are playing health , most of you guys?

12:02 Right. How many you here? me ask the other question. How

12:05 of you guys are here? Just take the class for fun one?

12:09 right, you get the gold star the day. All right. The

12:13 is, is that if you're planning going into the health professions, your

12:17 is going to be study, study for the rest of your

12:20 And no one likes to hear that thinks, oh, I'm going to

12:22 get my degree and then I go and then that's all I do.

12:25 the truth is, is to maintain license. You actually have to do

12:30 years of uh between uh continuing ed . All right. And so what

12:36 means is if you like my she's a physical therapist every two years

12:40 renew her license, she has to 30 hours of, of continuing

12:45 So it is a life process of . If you don't want to study

12:48 the rest of your life, go a phd. But you end up

12:52 anyway because you end up liking school much. That's why you stay.

12:56 . But, but what I'm trying do in these classes is not just

12:59 you the information, you can go human fizz on your own. You

13:02 , the truth is, is I you to achieve your goals. I

13:06 you to excel and be the people they select so that you can go

13:09 practice and live out the life that want. So you need to have

13:12 skills in order to do that. one of the major skills is learning

13:15 and being able to study on your . And so that's kind of what

13:19 course design is. And one of things we're gonna see here towards the

13:22 or really towards the end of the is the methodology behind this. But

13:26 first thing that we need to understand that in order to learn, you

13:30 to engage the material multiple times over over and over again. Anyone here

13:34 an instrument, OK. Anyone here sports, anyone here play a video

13:39 , become good at it. All . So how did you get in

13:44 position where you're good at a video where you played sports and you're actually

13:48 when you actually learn how to do instrument, what do you do over

13:50 over and over again practice now you call it practice, you can call

13:56 um you know, just constant uh . Like if you're playing a video

14:00 that's not really practice, you're just the game over and over again.

14:03 ultimately, you become good at something you're doing it over and over and

14:06 again. It's the same thing for . Anyone who's ever told you that

14:11 field is tough. They're not really you the truth. What they're telling

14:17 is that there's a lot of information you need to be engaged with over

14:21 over again. But it's not it's like beyond your limit, anybody

14:25 be a physician. Anyone can be dentist. Anyone can go into the

14:28 professions. You just have to work it. All right. It's not

14:32 the material is too difficult. what we're trying to do here is

14:35 gonna try to engage the material over over and over again. All

14:40 So how do we do that? , the first thing we're gonna do

14:43 we come to class is we're gonna . Now, if you guys have

14:47 through the text at all, you're going, man, there's a lot

14:49 stuff there and you've seen how I've it down. It's like you read

14:51 , read this, read this, know, a lot of, there's

14:54 and all that stuff, but there to be a lot of pages.

14:57 don't want you to read the books if you are trying to take notes

15:01 come in and take a test the day. I want you to read

15:04 assignments as if you are reading a . Ok? Now, sometimes it's

15:11 gonna sound like a story or feel a story. But other times it

15:13 where you're like, oh, this kind of interesting and there's times you're

15:16 brain is gonna turn off and you're just kind of gloss over stuff.

15:19 fine when you come back in, keep engage and keep going at

15:22 Right? But when you read a , like, or when you read

15:26 material for the first time, when come to class, you're not coming

15:29 blind. Like when you walked into class, you kind of felt

15:33 didn't it? Like, I don't what he's gonna do today because you

15:36 have anything other than introduction or right? But if you came in

15:41 like, hey, what we're gonna is we're gonna talk about these different

15:43 . You'd be like, all I kind of am aware of what's

15:46 happen if I put in there interrupted jackass, you know, you'd be

15:51 , all right, when he stood , I know what that was.

15:54 don't know what that is. This is something like that. So

15:57 , being going in and reading before actually come to class gives you an

16:02 but not the depth of knowledge that need to have, right? So

16:07 you come to class is for that engagement? Because what we're gonna do

16:11 we're gonna take all that stuff that just read some of it un un

16:15 , not understandable, some of it , really easy. But we're gonna

16:18 , look, let's parse through this let's kind of focus in on,

16:21 what's important here. And that's kind what the whole purpose of coming to

16:24 lecture is. So it's real easy I know it's real easy not to

16:28 to class, you know. But know, I mean, looking at

16:31 the data that we've ever done, just for this class, but through

16:34 is that people who show up to , learn stuff, people who don't

16:38 up don't. Now, you this, think about three years

16:45 What was going on three years Yeah. How many of you guys

16:49 on your, on your laptops or desktops logged in to that zoom

16:55 Quickly turned off that microphone and that , right? And then you sat

17:00 and maybe you tuned in every couple minutes, but most of the time

17:03 watching youtube on another screen or maybe your phone or whatever it was.

17:07 how many of you feel like you anything in that full year? One

17:12 , two people, you did learn . What did you learn?

17:16 A hands on? What a hands class and you, and you learned

17:20 online. Yeah. OK. OK. I would challenge and say

17:27 probably didn't. Now you probably familiarize yourself with stuff and And,

17:32 so my point here being is that the grand majority of people, there

17:36 a certain percentage of people who can without that type of instruction.

17:41 I actually went to grad school with guy who had an IDA memory.

17:45 was the wildest thing. I he wasn't like a Sheldon.

17:49 But he had an identic memory and would go into meetings with his faculty

17:53 they would play stump the chump with . And if he had read

17:56 he knew the answer and where it from, it was the craziest thing

18:00 . Right? But most of us included, like, I'm gonna have

18:04 look at something a couple of times I get it. All right.

18:09 coming to class is not here for , for you to be here listening

18:13 me over and I mean, you , but that's not the goal.

18:16 goal here is to let's tease out stuff and find the stuff that I

18:20 need to focus in on. So when I go and study on my

18:25 , I know what to focus in . And I have a greater understanding

18:28 a greater clarity of what it is I'm trying to learn that kind of

18:32 sense. And then so after what you wanna do is you wanna

18:37 all that stuff and let's face it hour and 20 minutes of me yammering

18:40 is not the most fun thing on planet. I know this, I

18:44 in your seats for a long Right. But really what you wanna

18:47 now is just like, all he yammered on, I've read

18:50 So what I need to do is need to organize this information so that

18:53 can then have something to study and, and understand. Right?

19:00 thinking of that kid guy said, , you don't have a right to

19:03 pictures of him and record him. , wait a second. Um You

19:06 recording me, see, you see my brain is in two places.

19:11 is the, this is what we're to try to avoid doing.

19:14 Right. So the idea here is the lecture, what you're gonna do

19:17 you can take those notes that you've sitting around writing and listening and,

19:20 highlighting, you say, OK, gonna take this and I'm gonna clean

19:23 up so I can better understand. gonna take these notes and I'm gonna

19:26 it down so I can better understand . And that's the goal. So

19:30 you've done in a 24 hour roughly if granted, you might be

19:34 longer than that, right? Because might take the weekend or do a

19:37 of days. But the idea is one item from one subject you're approaching

19:42 1 to 3 times, you should it that way because that,

19:47 So it's not just once you're doing three times you're hitting it just like

19:51 supposed to. So that's the design the course. I'm not doing this

19:55 I like busy work. I'm the of the Laziest students you'll ever

19:58 I'll tell you this in just a . All the fun stories. But

20:02 doing this to help you achieve your . So, reading assignments, these

20:07 before class, they'll open up. , um, you know, you

20:11 , you can read at a, not a as you wish. But

20:13 think um you just basically you go you read and then right before class

20:18 to make sure you've done it just let's face it. I'm not gonna

20:21 out unless my body shows up. what kind of person I am.

20:24 you need help doing stuff? Do need someone to prod you along?

20:29 you need a knowledge? Sherpa? know, knowledge, you know Sherpa

20:33 right. A Sherpa is the guy drags you up the Himalayas so that

20:37 can get on top of the All right. So we all kind

20:41 need that we're not, most of are not self starters when it comes

20:44 learning. So the idea here look, I can tell you can

20:47 this stuff, but how many of are really gonna read it if,

20:49 you don't have something at the end you have to do you two

20:53 right? I'm not gonna do You'd have to pay me right.

20:56 we're gonna have this assessment. It's simple assessment. 10 questions. You

20:59 two attempts at it. They're not questions. You have your book,

21:03 30 minutes. You think you can 10 questions in 30 minutes with a

21:08 and if you screw it up, can go back and do it

21:10 Yeah. All right. See, hard. So these will close right

21:14 class. All right. So the purpose there is to kind of give

21:20 that big picture. What I just , this is 12% of your grade

21:23 the class. That means the other is gonna be your exams.

21:28 some of, you know, people took this class or maybe you took

21:30 before with me. I used to a paper in here. Chat

21:33 T took their fist and rammed it in the middle of that. All

21:37 . I'm not gonna play the chat GP T game and let it all

21:41 out before we go back to So today or this class is all

21:45 the material that we're learning. So here we got 34 exams.

21:49 me? Not 344 exams. Those the dates up there. You'll notice

21:52 like the last day, the last day of finals, we always

21:55 screwed like that. I, I wish we didn't. But

21:59 that's just the way it goes. the exams are 50 questions each.

22:04 They are all, are one hour . So you get a, it's

22:08 at 100 points each. Um They're at Casa. How many of you

22:12 know Casa? Do you guys love ? That's right. No.

22:17 For those of you who are new the university. Casa is the testing

22:20 , right? It's a real pain the ass. No one likes

22:23 not even the faculty like Casa. ? It's like, it's like a

22:28 that we all just kind of accept do. All right. But just

22:31 case for those who don't know what um you basically go on that

22:35 you first have to register at the of the semester. You have to

22:38 over to one of the facilities. one in Garrison, there's one in

22:41 . Is there one right here in Arnold? Do we know still?

22:44 , did they remove that one? I know they opened the first three

22:47 . I just didn't know if they had it there. All right.

22:50 at least those two and there might others on campus. They surprise us

22:53 the time. But you have to and get a biometric on the,

22:56 know, sometime before the first exam that's really just you put your thumb

22:59 down and then what you do is on the day or what you do

23:04 two weeks before the exam you go you register, there's a link on

23:09 that will allow you to go and for what time you want to take

23:11 exam on whatever day that happens to . And then you show up to

23:16 exam. We don't have class that , right? Because some of you

23:19 gonna take the exam during this time that wouldn't be fair for you.

23:23 then what you do is you just up pencil, take your biometric,

23:26 your ID card, go in, an A and then go out and

23:30 . That. Sounds good. yeah. All right. My exams

23:34 not cumulative. This is a science . You'll notice that science in and

23:38 itself is cumulative by its nature. noticed that? Right? So I'm

23:43 gonna ask you on the fourth something that I taught you on the

23:46 exam. But if you didn't learn stuff for the first exam, fourth

23:50 is gonna be a lot harder for . So there's just that, that

23:54 nature of our natural state of the . I don't drop tests.

23:59 so just plan on having four. also the fourth exam is just 1/4

24:05 . It's done during finals week. still an hour. It's just,

24:08 the day that they give it to . All right. So far.

24:12 good. Yes, this, all . So that's still kind of up

24:20 the air. So, III, just built the first exam today

24:24 and the way that this is a time out. So I'm, I'm

24:28 you in the back of the weeds who knows what's gonna happen.

24:30 But the idea is that I can the test through canvas via CASA,

24:36 means there that, that, that's sorts of good things for me.

24:39 finding out however that canvas doesn't do I want it to actually do.

24:45 I can't tell yet if it will you see the exam unless you're at

24:50 by itself. So you can, take it at Casa. That's not

24:53 problem. All right. But now want to look at the mistakes and

24:56 that you made. So do you to be at CASA to do that

24:59 it has an IP limitation on. there's things about it, but ideally

25:04 I want to do and is that will take your exam, they'll be

25:09 everyone's completed the exam and then it's up for viewing. All right.

25:14 then you can look over it and can see what you got wrong.

25:16 can get mad at me, you come talk to me, you can

25:19 talk to me about the exams But, but that's the idea is

25:21 you're allowed to review your exams Implementation still up in the air so

25:30 ? So good. OK. just in case you're not, this

25:36 me trying to navigate. There's another that's right down here, that's gonna

25:40 recordings. But basically these are what see on the front page, they'll

25:44 take you to whatever you need. for example, this is how,

25:48 you know what this class entails, , all the information you need to

25:51 for the class, it kind of to other things as well. This

25:54 your syllabus, it's actually your official , but there's also a downloadable one

25:58 you need it, need that as so that you have access to both

26:02 things. Uh If you click on one, this takes you to where

26:04 the assignments are and this is where probably spend 95% if not 98% of

26:09 time. All right. So this where the lecture slides are located.

26:13 is where the reading assignments are uh, any sort of stuff like

26:18 . Um General course facts. Um know, just general questions that are

26:23 of simple and made up. I know, maybe they help you

26:26 Um Here, these are the student . If you've never looked at the

26:30 handbook, 90% of your student handbook in there. So if you have

26:34 about stuff that you don't know, talks about your rights, anything that

26:38 university wants to know is gonna be that link. And finally, if

26:41 ever need to find my office hours how to get to me or anything

26:44 that. This is the link you . You don't have to go through

26:46 syllabus or anything. This is just simple, this is where I'm

26:49 This is how to contact me. , pretty straightforward. So your typical

26:54 is gonna kind of look like right? Um Your lectures, you

27:00 see Tuesday, Thursday. So you imagine you have some sort of reading

27:04 that opens up. So like today's , you're gonna have a reading assignment

27:07 up and then it's gonna stay open um uh well, you can read

27:11 as long as you want to. the idea is that you're gonna have

27:13 assessment that opens up the evening before around 6 p.m. I presume that you'll

27:17 reading it. You know, somebody get it done early, some will

27:20 later. But you have that open until uh the beginning of class.

27:24 you come to class, you do lecture and then you uh leave you

27:28 and do whatever it is that you're do. Hopefully you're gonna uh uh

27:32 your notes and stuff like I'm gonna it a little bit here. But

27:35 idea is you have the reading assignment and it just goes and then you

27:39 that assessment again. So that's just of your, your pattern, your

27:43 of life for this class. I'll be the first one to tell

27:46 my class is not the most important you're gonna take. It's not the

27:49 important class of the semester. It's the most important anything. Right.

27:52 just a class. All right. I'm not gonna treat this like you

27:57 to get everything done. I recognize of you are studying for the

28:01 I recognize that. But you did up for the class. We're gonna

28:05 all the material you adults, you figure out how to work around

28:08 Ok. That's pretty much it right , there is an assessment that's that

28:15 used as part of your homework. it's just more free points,

28:18 Uh It basically just says, did learn what I describe how the class

28:22 of runs for this? You can back and listen to a lecture if

28:25 want to. Again, you can this as many times as you need

28:29 till you get a perfect score. and it comes due on Friday.

28:34 think it's the second. I, wanna say it's the first but I

28:37 it's, it's the first. See, see this is what happens

28:40 you copy things from semester to You forget dates, Friday.

28:44 Friday the first. So that's not a second. It's Friday the

28:48 . It comes due at midnight. you have like 2.5 weeks to do

28:51 . But if you understood everything, it done soon, just get it

28:53 of your hair, right? Um don't give extensions to this. So

28:58 you somehow forget this, sorry. it's like so little of a grade

29:03 it's not gonna kill you. some fun stuff. Do we hoop

29:07 if you want to go back? you go. Yeah. So here's

29:14 dragon chicken. I don't know where found this picture. The internet is

29:19 . All right. There is extra for the class. Um One of

29:22 first challenges I discovered when I started a couple of years back is that

29:26 don't really go back and self All right, and that's a really

29:30 tool. Like you go and take exam. You think you're gonna do

29:34 on it, you take the you completely bomb it. You have

29:36 idea why, but you just kind walk and go, ok? I'll

29:39 do better on the next exam. not a strategy. That's, that's

29:42 bad thing. And so one of things I, I decided like I'm

29:46 get you guys to start thinking are you prepared for an exam?

29:49 were you prepared for an exam? extra credit is gonna be applied to

29:53 exam. There's one before one after each 2.5 points each. So

29:57 each, each test has five points extra credit. I think over all

30:01 comes out to like 0.5 points per credit or one point for your final

30:06 . Right. So if you have of these and they're each towards one

30:09 for your final grade, it can you up, uh a, a

30:12 in the letter grade. Right. that's the idea. All right.

30:14 this is basically what it, it's three minutes of your life. So

30:17 forget to do it. You can that they have very specific times.

30:20 first one is right before the exam opens up. Uh What does it

30:23 ? 6 p.m. Yeah. So six before the exam, it closes at

30:26 a.m. the day of the exam. notice it's being done before you take

30:30 exam and the question it asks you not just one, but there's several

30:34 questions. Are you prepared to take exam? How did you prepare?

30:38 you feel like you're prepared? Are ready to take the exam type

30:42 I'm not gonna look at your just answer them truthfully to yourself.

30:45 is you talking to you. I'm looking to see if you did

30:48 You did it got your points right the test, after you get your

30:53 and after the crying and the then you go back and you go

30:57 say, all right, let me a look at my exam. Let

30:59 see the types of questions I missed why I missed them. All

31:02 and then you answer the questions that there. Did you study this,

31:06 you thought you studied this, did know this as well as you

31:08 you knew this blah, blah, , how would you change your strategy

31:12 this, that sort of question? so it forces you to kind of

31:15 about what you did for that OK. And then you apply that

31:21 the next test and so on and forth and it should help you improve

31:25 study skills as well as your study as you're moving forward. All

31:30 Because if you don't know what you wrong, how can you fix the

31:34 ? And that's what this is asking , can you identify where the problem

31:38 ? All right. Each of those take you about three minutes to do

31:41 it's like three points. So don't them. And I guarantee you,

31:45 forgets them, put them in your , put the alarm on, make

31:48 go ddddddd. So you have to down and do the questions right

31:55 Stuff you care about. How do get my grades? Well, remember

31:59 have four exams each worth 22%. that's 88% of your grade. And

32:04 you have the reading assessments. There's for each class. So 12% of

32:09 grade. So you can see that you screw one of those up,

32:12 not that big of a deal, over time they can accumulate if you

32:15 blowing them off. So don't panic them, but please do them questions

32:22 care about. Is there a Is that a question you guys

32:27 All right answer is for every class taught, there's been a curve 17

32:35 worth of coursework. Now, having that I make this promise to every

32:42 I have money set aside. If all get A's, we're having a

32:47 . Now. I say it's a but people keep staring at me now

32:51 they're like, what's a Kegger? that's really kind of upsetting to me

32:54 you're college students, you should know the Kegger is. All right.

32:58 we're gonna have a party 17 Have I ever had a party?

33:04 . Can we please make it this ? Ok. All right.

33:10 the way we curve in this class not like what they do over

33:13 in the liberal arts. It's not they do over in chemistry,

33:20 We do a normal distribution for You took, took statistics. You

33:24 what I'm talking about? I figure what the middle C is,

33:28 A curve will never hurt the It only is used to help the

33:31 . It's never, I'm not that's what chemistry does. They're

33:33 we're just gonna screw everybody. look, the distribution is real

33:37 No one gets an A, you , I've recorded that. You see

33:41 ? I recorded that. So it's there. All right. Not

33:45 of chemistry, Doctor Bean can punch . But, you know,

33:54 so the idea is, is that the normal distribution, you figure out

33:56 the middle C is, you figure where the distributions for the B and

34:00 A range are and for the other grades that we don't talk about.

34:04 , and so you can then use scores we have to kind of fill

34:08 that thing. But if the, the grades move towards the A

34:13 then we just use what the university A's and B's and so on.

34:16 if you move the other direction, the curve helps. So as I

34:19 , it will not harm you, will only help. And so up

34:23 , it says A S and BS really affected because that's true for this

34:25 . Most of you guys have already not you guys, but people have

34:29 been called out as they progress through academic career. And so you guys

34:34 fully capable of the A's and you're capable of the BS and so

34:38 So I'm not particular concern, but you're struggling through the class don't panic

34:43 rarely do IC DS in this uh, we usually maybe have,

34:48 , you know, some poor grades that. But as long as you're

34:53 hard and trying to learn, typically do pretty well. All right,

34:57 is not, it's a tough I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna

35:00 like you can sit on your You do that. I guarantee you

35:04 of the bad ones, one of bad grades. But if you work

35:09 sky is the limit. Ok. a Kegger. All right. Questions

35:17 grades. Questions about the curve. know I'm, my brain is still

35:20 of thinking about. I really wish would have, uh, all right

35:30 about the class. No. All . Now we're not done yet because

35:37 wanna, I wanna nip something in bud. And if something catch,

35:40 you, if you're reminded of you can always interrupt me first

35:43 you can always interrupt me. All , I am a talker and I

35:46 , I will fill the void with noise if I have to and

35:50 will. Right. But if you a question, please raise your

35:53 Um If you have a question during , just make it obvious because sometimes

35:56 can't see past the fifth row. ready. All right. So we're

36:03 doing physiology yet. We're gonna do starting on Thursday. But what I

36:08 do is I want to talk about to actually learn and how to prepare

36:11 an exam. All right, I teaching here a long time ago.

36:20 I said, 17 years and 70% my office hours are spent with students

36:24 had taken an exam and would come my office in tears or near tears

36:28 say doctor Wayne, I've always been , a student. I don't understand

36:32 I'm getting ac in your class. right. And then I'd walk them

36:36 . Well, let me hear how study and they would tell me.

36:39 so it was always the same story and over again because everyone studied,

36:42 know, kind of the same They still do. You all still

36:46 . And then I'd sit there and and say, all right.

36:47 this is how, how to prepare , how to study for a

36:50 how to be successful, not only the sciences but in everything. And

36:55 they would look at me and they , ok, well, I'll go

36:57 this and they'd come back, you , hey, I'm doing really well

36:59 I'd get the email. My favorite are the emails from students who are

37:01 professional schools and they're like, I'm what you told me and I'm getting

37:04 and I don't have to work hard I'm like, yeah, I love

37:06 . That's my favorite story ever. , if you do that, do

37:09 I tell you and you go to school and you do that, email

37:12 back. It just makes me All right. But like I

37:17 it was 70% of my time. I was given the same speech over

37:20 over and over and over and over and that's exhausting. All right.

37:24 I decided, hey, about 10 ago, you can go back and

37:27 go look at all my recorded Figure out when I started doing this

37:30 I'm like, hey, um I'm gonna tell you all on the first

37:33 and you can choose to listen to . Now, why suggest listening to

37:38 is because remember I liked school so that I stayed, right? And

37:45 I have a lot of experience with . And the second reason I'm gonna

37:48 you listen to me is because I not the smartest student. I was

37:52 of the Laziest students, you ever ? So a lot of my,

37:55 tips are stemmed or steeped in, that the fact that I don't like

38:02 more than anyone else does. You , I like learning, but I

38:04 studying, you know, and so can choose to listen to me or

38:09 can choose not to. And you know, many people choose not

38:13 . And then about after the second , that's when they come and visit

38:15 and then I give them the same I'm giving right now. But I'd

38:18 let's just get it out of the and then let's try it and see

38:21 it works for you guys. How many of you guys made a

38:25 to yourself that this semester would be ? Ok. Here's your opportunity,

38:30 ? Just saying. All right. what you're looking at is up here

38:38 the top left is what it is the Ebbing House Forgetfulness curve.

38:42 It actually has a name. It's real thing. A guy Ebbing

38:45 I don't know what his first name . He was studying memory and forgetfulness

38:49 in like the 18 eighties and he that there is an actual rate of

38:54 for memory. And it was actually first exposure to short term versus long

38:57 memory. All right. And now these values are, are made

39:02 I just pulled off a picture of of these that was pretty OK?

39:06 what it's showing you here is look, if I give you a

39:08 of information, let's say I give a 10 digit number to remember in

39:13 minutes. In this example, you'll six of those numbers, not necessarily

39:18 that right order, but you'll remember least six of those numbers. And

39:21 over time, you can see how decays, you know, in one

39:23 , I know, remember four of numbers, but in six days,

39:26 remember three of the numbers and you , 30 days down the road,

39:29 might remember two of those numbers. right. Now think about a class

39:35 it's not just 10 numbers, but have, for example, in our

39:39 , 8 to 10 learning objectives in class. And each of those learning

39:43 has multiple upon multiple facts and details go with each of those objectives.

39:48 then now you have six of those on top of just that one

39:51 you have other class and you have lectures and then you have other

39:56 et cetera, et cetera, et . Right? There's a lot of

40:00 being thrown at you at any given . And so you're not remembering a

40:03 of information. And if you've done other than come to class and paid

40:09 , you're forgetting a lot of So by the time the exam rolls

40:14 , so our exam is in three , right after starting Tuesday is when

40:17 clock starts. So we have three . So in three weeks, you

40:22 have forgotten somewhere in the neighborhood of of the information that I taught you

40:26 that first day. Right. And that means when you study, you

40:31 to now be your own teacher. essence, it was as if you

40:36 not come to class except you do a little bit. Right.

40:42 this is why studying sucks because we to teach ourselves how many of you

40:46 like you're an expert in physiology. . If you were, you wouldn't

40:51 here. Right. So, you have to self teach everything that we

40:57 learned once on the night before the , if that's when you started studying

41:01 you'd have to cover it all. , let's see, that's 1.5 hours

41:05 six. So, three hours, hours of information that you'd not only

41:10 have to look over once, but have to internalize the night before the

41:16 . Guess what cramming is trun getting stuff down and hopefully it will

41:20 Right. But remember the forget wellness applies there too. All right.

41:26 how do we deal with our brains are, is our worst enemy?

41:31 find out your brain is your worst all the time, right. It's

41:34 to get you. Well, how we do that? Well, what

41:38 discovered is that if you are exposed the same material and interrupt the

41:44 right? So that's what the bottom graph looks like. So you can

41:47 that curve and if I interrupt it expose myself to the material before I

41:52 everything. Well, I've forgotten It brings me back up to 100%

41:56 brings me up, it fills my and then the curve changes shape.

42:01 you see the slope on that first ? How it's steep? The next

42:04 is a lot less steep and then I expose it again, it's even

42:07 steep. So what happens is is as I repeat the information, as

42:12 expose myself to information more frequently, rate at which I forget slows

42:18 And that means there's less for me review at the very end in the

42:22 run when I'm trying to be All right. So when you go

42:25 your professions, whatever it is that gonna do, you don't have to

42:28 every day because you're gonna see the people with the same sniffles over and

42:32 and over again. You're like, , I know what this is.

42:34 . I know what this is. . I know what this is.

42:36 then someone comes up with big boils their face and you're like, I

42:40 , to, to remember what this , it's, it's a different

42:45 right? So what we're trying to is we're trying to do this spacing

42:50 . So when you're studying the most things, there's two things. So

42:55 got to be a better time manager I've got to be a person who

42:59 information because if the information is not , I'm gonna be spending too much

43:04 trying to figure out what's going on order to try to spend time

43:07 right? So when is the best to study? Well, the first

43:12 you wanna do is right after when your information is fresh. If

43:16 don't have a class after this, wanna find a nice quiet spot,

43:20 in the sun because it's hot and out there. And you wanna sit

43:24 with the class notes that you just and you want to turn those

43:27 So let's say you just wrote on slide. So there's 30 some odd

43:30 for the class and you have your scribble notes on that stuff. And

43:33 you're gonna do, you gonna say can't read 30 pages of slides.

43:36 I wanna do is I wanna read pages of notes. So you convert

43:40 into three pages of notes. Notice we just did. We're exposing ourselves

43:44 the information for the third time in a 48 hour period. Right?

43:49 we've read it, come to class we listen and we took notes and

43:54 if I'm rewriting the stuff, I'm exposing myself the third time. And

43:57 what I'm doing is I'm actually preparing materials. I'm organizing information in such

44:02 way that I have something to study when it's time to study. But

44:05 the same time, what am I ? I'm actually breaking up that

44:12 And if I do this for each , then by the time it,

44:15 it's time to come study later, will have less studying to have to

44:20 , which is what we all hate the first place, right? So

44:25 is the most important thing is, , you mean these big gaps during

44:28 day when I'm brain? You I'm brain dead and I just wanna

44:31 between two classes. No, don't that as a time to veg use

44:34 as a time to actually organize yourself that you could have freedom to do

44:40 later, which is the hardest How do you guys work out,

44:44 , like regularly work out? You a schedule. You go in

44:46 Wednesday, Friday or something like Maybe you do a five day workout

44:50 it's like I do this and then run on two days or something

44:53 Do you notice how you set time to do that? That's what you're

44:57 to do for studying as well. supposed to set a time, not

45:00 massive gaps. If anyone told you have to study more, they

45:04 to you. What you have to is you have to study regularly.

45:07 the key thing, small bursts to up the forgetfulness. OK? And

45:12 if you do this right after it's gonna make it easiest if you

45:15 till six o'clock and some of you have to because you have lives and

45:19 have to be places. Maybe you to wait till 10 o'clock that

45:22 But the longer you wait, the forgetting that takes place and the harder

45:26 is to work. So do it . Get it done, right?

45:31 be like me. Don't be a because I am a procrastinator right

45:38 This is how I did it a step, right? For a

45:42 read, I say take notes, take notes. I this is an

45:45 slide. If you have to take . If you find something, you

45:47 to circle or something like that, fine but read it like you're reading

45:50 story because you don't want to get down, preparing to come to

45:55 right? You want there, you to alert your brain to what's

45:59 It's like looking at a map before go on a trip. All

46:03 Second thing you come to class, questions if there is something I mentioned

46:06 class and you do not understand and explained it once and you raise your

46:09 and ask the question. That's If I still didn't make it,

46:12 sense to you, ask again, is nothing wrong. If you already

46:15 this information, you shouldn't be in class. That makes sense. This

46:19 is here for you to learn. you're not learning, I'm not doing

46:22 job. Well, I might be my job. You might be screwing

46:26 . But, but the point is that my job is to help you

46:31 . And so if you're sitting there your hands under your butts going,

46:34 refuse to prove that. I don't this stuff, even though the rest

46:37 the classes know what's going on You're not helping yourself be the proactive

46:41 , ask questions. Right. There's such thing as a dumb question except

46:45 one, I've only had it I was in a class. I

46:48 in the big, I was in 105 100 students student asked a pertinent

46:54 . A really good question. I through it. Answer 15 minute answer

46:58 trying to clarify the class is all there listening after I finished the

47:02 another student right next to the person would ask a question, raise their

47:05 , ask the exact same question. telling you there was an audible,

47:09 , from the classroom and everyone kind looked at them and I looked at

47:14 and I said, ok, let me do it. It was

47:17 that he wasn't paying attention. He talking to somebody beside him,

47:21 That was why it was a dumb because he wasn't paying attention. All

47:25 . So there's no such thing if , if I explain it one way

47:27 it doesn't come out, right? you don't understand if I explain it

47:30 second time in a different way and doesn't make sense. You can keep

47:33 that question until it makes sense or we say forget it, we're not

47:36 test on it. Something like Don't challenge me on that. Don't

47:40 on it because it'll take a lot work. Um Lastly is like I

47:43 , after class, you prep your and this is what you're doing is

47:46 create, create for yourself, something you're gonna use to study. And

47:50 gonna describe how to study here in a moment. All right. So

48:00 you're creating your notes and uh so night, I've got, I put

48:05 in the front. I have four . I've got two sets of

48:09 All right. Everyone kind of always at me like I didn't do the

48:13 . I mean, I didn't give to them just trying to raise

48:17 I got two juniors in, in school and I got 2/7 graders.

48:22 . The two juniors right now are a class that requires them to take

48:25 . Right. They have to come and they have to write notes.

48:28 , that's their assignment, read something take notes. So I asked them

48:31 question. I said, so what you taking notes on there? I

48:34 know, said, are you identifying topics? Do you need to understand

48:37 hierarchy of organization and stuff like I said, no, we're supposed

48:40 take 23 pages of notes. I'm , so you have no idea why

48:44 taking the notes and no, I know. All right. So clearly

48:49 an exercise, but the teacher doesn't why they're doing it and my kids

48:53 know why they're doing it. It like, and I remember in like

48:55 seventh grade, someone said, you , gave me an assignment, you

48:58 to turn in note cards for your that you're gonna write and it's like

49:01 to put it. It's like, , why? And they didn't have

49:03 answer. You need to know why doing stuff, right? And so

49:07 you're creating your own notes, what doing is you're, you're, you're

49:10 yourself from my notes, these slides here, you notice I don't sit

49:15 and read them. Right. They're to me to, to,

49:19 to tell me what it is. want to talk about all that information

49:22 already in my head. Even the , you know, it's already

49:27 But I need something to physically remind . It's like, oh yeah,

49:31 need to remind you of this. so my slides and you reading them

49:36 not going to be helpful to And this is true for any

49:39 It's not just my class, this any class, right? So what

49:41 need to do is you need to your own notes that you understand that

49:45 your own code and your organization to so that it's what you recall,

49:50 what I recall that kind of make . So the purpose of the note

49:55 is not because I'm trying to make busy, it's trying to get you

49:59 start thinking on your own, So what we have here when you're

50:03 that, figure out what it is trying to learn for the day.

50:05 right. At the beginning of every , I'm gonna come in here and

50:07 today we're gonna learn blah blah right? Go to an English

50:10 You're gonna say the same thing or history class, we're gonna learn this

50:13 . When you walk out of the , you should be able to

50:16 did I learn blah blah blah. now. Sometimes the professor goes off

50:23 Tangs. You ever have that Yeah. You know what I'm talking

50:27 ? It's like I'm gonna teach you and it's like, it's not from

50:30 reading, it's not from the it's not from the textbook. I'm

50:33 sure if it's from this field. . So, if you're walking out

50:40 the class and that happened then you're of on your own, please find

50:43 partners and, and you know, it out. But for my

50:48 I really do have an agenda. like we're gonna have basically eight learning

50:52 per day and you, they should pretty obvious. And so these are

50:56 the topics that I'm listing up identify what it is. So the

51:00 day is today, we're gonna learn basics of physiology, what is physiology

51:04 ? What is it that we're trying , to discover? And then here

51:07 the subtopics. So those would be learning objectives and then the details are

51:12 become important is like, what does detail have to do with this subtopic

51:17 deals with the big topic that I'm to learn. If that detail doesn't

51:21 those questions, it's probably not So very often students like to see

51:27 , like numbers are really kind of because it's like a value you can

51:30 on to, right? But values not permanent most often like what's,

51:35 , what is the normal blood 1 20/80. You've heard that?

51:42 think I'm ever gonna test you on ? No, that's a Trivial Pursuit

51:46 , right? You know, for person who's in their seventies, 1

51:49 or, or over 80 is a dream. You know, it's like

51:52 40/70 it, the numbers start changing stuff like that. So, trying

51:56 memorize Trivial Pursuit type of stuff is . What you wanna do? You

52:00 get information that has meat on That helps you understand the concept.

52:04 when you're dealing with concepts, you apply that concept over and over

52:07 moving from system to system to And so that's what you're looking

52:11 You're looking for details that help you things. So then when you see

52:15 that you don't know, you're oh, I understood this concept over

52:19 . Let me see. Does it here? Oh, it does.

52:21 I can figure out my answer. right. So this is just kind

52:26 showing you, it's just like the topics and condensing it down. And

52:29 you're gonna find is that you're gonna 30 pages roughly into like one or

52:32 , maybe three if you write big flowery, right? And then you

52:37 imagine if I'm studying for a test I have six classes and I have

52:41 30 to 40 slides per lecture. roughly 200 slides, 220 slides to

52:46 would you rather study 220 slides or you rather study 12 pages of

52:52 Which 12 pages of notes, you , which one's different? Neither.

52:57 the exact same. It's the it's a pound of feathers and a

53:00 of lead. You just think when see 220 slides, you're like,

53:05 a lot of information. But if organized it already, it makes more

53:09 to you and that's easier to study you're, uh, you're uh disrupting

53:15 forgetfulness curve and you're preparing yourself for exam, you're identifying what's important,

53:21 know, how many times people study that's totally unimportant. Have you ever

53:25 something that's totally unimportant? Yeah. like, why did I study

53:30 It wasn't not even on the But if you identify what it

53:32 you're trying to learn, make your easier. Right now. If you

53:37 get lost in this class, we're primarily physiology, but you can't

53:41 physiology. You've got a little bit anatomy. We're not gonna go deep

53:44 the anatomy. But yes, I do that right. Like the

53:50 gives me the power point and then take my notes and then,

53:54 obviously I can't write everything they wrote in all 40 slides. So I

53:58 my own version. But then one I didn't write, that's like the

54:01 same question on the exam. I help you with that in just a

54:05 . Yeah. So, so that's fear, right? If I don't

54:07 everything down, I'm gonna miss What you're doing is you are thinking

54:12 the bigger picture. All right, what you gotta do. You gotta

54:15 a question to work away. So me put it this way. When

54:18 guys study right now, this is problem. I kept deserving over and

54:21 and this is you guys learn fact, fact, fact,

54:24 fact, I'm gonna learn all these and I don't know what their relationship

54:27 to each other, right? But I learn them all, I've learned

54:31 because this is what was in the and this is what you talked

54:34 Huh? If you go from the , figure out what the topic

54:36 what the subtopics are, you're gonna all the facts that are important.

54:40 a different approach. Instead of looking the facts first, look at the

54:44 picture, first, work your way . All right. Once you,

54:49 you start doing that, I tell , like I said, I get

54:51 from people and they're just like I believe how this works. I would

54:55 , I would love to take credit this. I would love to patent

54:58 . I would love to make money this. It is, none of

55:01 ideas sucks. Right. Anyway, I was gonna say, if you

55:05 get lost, we're dealing with We have two basic questions here.

55:09 are the structures and what do they ? Right. If, if you

55:12 get lost it? All right. taught this structure, what does it

55:16 ? Why is it, why did bring it up? Right. And

55:19 you can't come up with an then they probably wasn't there,

55:23 It wasn't important. But if you come up with an answer and it

55:26 in the bigger picture, you exactly why you need to learn

55:30 That's the ideal, right? So is kind of the idea of,

55:36 the structure like I said, there's 8 to 12 subtopics or learning objectives

55:40 class. Um Anything that has a is named differently than something else,

55:45 ? If something has a different it's probably because it has a unique

55:48 that you need to know the think of you and your siblings,

55:51 parents didn't name you a AAA, ? You're unique and different,

55:57 There's a reason you have different names that you have this unique identifier that

56:02 or makes you unique from the other or helps you to identify or identify

56:07 as being unique from the other right? Same thing in physiology.

56:11 gives something a name. It's because something unique about it and that's what

56:15 got to figure out for each of things, right? So here's your

56:18 and don't right now, this isn't apply to you guys you probably don't

56:22 this anymore. But there was a when people would get highlighters and

56:25 uh, just, you know, their textbooks. You know, if

56:29 need a coloring, uh physiology textbook a coloring book, they have

56:33 coloring books. I don't recommend them the class. But if you need

56:36 fun to do and you have, to have physiology. Well, there

56:39 go. All right. But the here is don't rewrite everything you see

56:44 from the notes or from the book anything, don't rewrite it all.

56:48 what the book is already there What you're trying to do is you're

56:50 to summarize. So figure out what important stuff is and you're condensing it

56:54 . All right. So you're compressing . It's kind of like when you

56:58 to the grocery store, right? you're doing notes to go to the

57:01 store, do you write yourself an about what it is that you're gonna

57:05 ? No, you do simple things cheese milk, right? If there's

57:09 special in the recipe, you might it a little bit longer because it's

57:12 something that, you know, only . But if you run out of

57:15 , you don't have to describe whole , you know, or 2% you

57:19 , half gallon or whatever it is you normally buy, it's already something

57:23 you know about the notes are there remind you of information that you have

57:28 put into your brain. So use notes like that help to pull out

57:32 information that you've already picked up Help to remind you about things

57:36 oh yeah, I keep forgetting this thing. All right. Second thing

57:40 say is don't write everything verbatim. if you see a sentence on the

57:43 , don't rewrite the sentence, write in your own words to help you

57:47 understand something, use pictures, use . It's so much easier and quicker

57:52 go through things when you abbreviate stuff instead of writing out full sentences.

57:58 this is gonna sound like I'm picking some of you women, right?

58:02 I have a lot of young women to my office with their notes.

58:05 you take a look at my Doctor White? Of course, what

58:07 please bring your notes to me, ? And they'll pull them out and

58:12 like seven colors, you know, the gel pins with highlighter. I'm

58:18 , how much time did you spend this? Oh, it was like

58:20 hours last night. And I did you have something better you'd rather

58:23 doing then writing in seven colors and it all. No, for,

58:28 know, I can think of about things and that includes probably taking out

58:32 trash, right? The idea is if you want free time,

58:38 need to kind of figure out what most important to you now, if

58:42 is, if it is, it's in seven colors and highlighting, then

58:45 . I'm not, I'm not bashing for that. But if you're doing

58:48 for every class, you're spending a of extra time, not studying,

58:52 coloring. So, you know, of focus in and that's what this

58:56 of is, is about when you , study and when you're not studying

59:01 study, don't confuse the two. see if this sounds like something you've

59:07 . And I know I've got like minutes here and I get really lost

59:10 quickly in all this stuff. All . Does this sound like you,

59:15 sitting down for an exam to right? It's like, ok,

59:18 gonna stay for this exam. You down, you start reading your

59:21 you got stuff you're going and after three or four minutes you're like,

59:24 can't study in this room. It's much of a mess. And you

59:27 and you clean up the room and go sit down and you start studying

59:31 and it's like the bathroom. I there's mildew in the bathroom. So

59:36 go in the bathroom and you're behind toilet scrubbing with a little toothbrush,

59:39 that. Find anything. Another one like, I'm so hungry, I'm

59:44 go eat. So you go to kitchen, you make yourself not a

59:48 snack but like a, a right? And then you have to

59:51 up afterwards. And then after you that, you sit back down again

59:54 you're like three minutes later you're get on your social media. It's

59:58 , man, I've been studying for hours. Yes. You're laughing because

60:03 done that. Right. We've all that. And what I'm telling you

60:06 you haven't studied, you've studied for minutes, right? And so,

60:11 is better to have studied for a 30 minutes, then go off and

60:14 something that's enjoyable rather than making chores yourself. Maybe you have to do

60:19 chores. I don't know. But idea is I'm gonna study when I

60:22 and then I'm gonna use that other to do the other things that I

60:25 to do. Put another way, is a better way to fail the

60:31 . I failed the exam because I too busy cleaning my bathroom or I

60:35 the exam because me and my buddies in a car and went to Mexico

60:37 a road trip. Which, which story do you wanna tell?

60:43 ? I would rather say I I got, I failed out of

60:47 because me and my buddies couldn't help . And we had a road

60:51 Right? That's a much better crash burn story, isn't it? Other

60:54 , yeah, milder in the So, toothbrush. So the idea

60:59 is when you are focused, focus , and when you're unfocused,

61:06 Well, now I know this is archaic picture. This is what college

61:10 like for me. Right. I to two Lane. Right? Some

61:14 you were like, ok, I it now. Right? And I

61:17 not, like I said, I not the best student. All these

61:21 I'm telling you are things I picked after college when I went to graduate

61:27 . Right? II, I tell story. You can go back and

61:30 . Like I said, you can back and listen. Uh every video

61:34 , first day of class, 40 professor walks in with a cup of

61:39 . That's it. Right. So gonna lecture off the top of his

61:43 . Brilliant man. It was the thing ever that he could just recall

61:46 that he was teaching us behind him the T A wheeling in this cart

61:51 papers and they start passing out the to each of us and you can

61:54 it, it was somewhere between six eight inches tall. This, um

61:56 is not an exaggeration. OK? like to say it's an exaggeration.

62:00 not true. And we're like, , so this is what we need

62:01 know for the semester. And it's , so here's what you're gonna need

62:05 know for the first exam. And was here that I realized for the

62:09 time in my life because my entire , I'm the student you hate never

62:14 . Got B pluses, you you know that guy. Right.

62:19 a friend of yours. Yeah, , that person who, yeah,

62:23 didn't study and they didn't, you actually watched them? They were

62:27 video games while you and your study were doing stuff and they just kind

62:29 sat there. Right. That was . And here I am. First

62:33 of graduate school going, I can't this and I started doing this type

62:38 studying. It was like, I wanna give up my social life.

62:41 , I like going out drinking beer playing pool. That was, that's

62:46 at the time. It was Now I'm old. It's not as

62:48 , right? So if, if wanna do that, I've gotta do

62:51 I just described to you. So would say, all right, I'm

62:55 for 30 minutes and I just boom I just study and do that every

62:58 . Just boom, boom, boom. And it turns out I

63:01 up studying less, got higher grades did just fine, which is what

63:05 want you guys to do. I you to spend less time studying.

63:09 you ever heard a professor say that want you to spend less time studying

63:13 I want it to be valuable right? You spend less time studying

63:17 you end up learning more because you're focused on what you need to

63:22 And then that's my goal is for guys to learn this stuff. And

63:25 as a result you get good which is your goal, right.

63:30 those three things is like the less studying higher grades, more

63:36 Now, how to help with come to class, ask questions.

63:40 you have a question, just you email me if it's simple. If

63:44 , if, if it's not simple , I'll say, ask me in

63:47 or come to my office, we'll into more detail. All right.

63:50 it's ok to do that, please sure you're asking questions. Don't just

63:56 here and go, hopefully I'll figure out later on my own,

63:59 It's not a good strategy. I about creating notes. It's a review

64:03 . What you're doing is you're creating notes that you're gonna use to study

64:06 the exam, right? So when comes time to study for the

64:10 what you need to do is you to figure out how much time you're

64:13 need. So most of you you probably started studying like at least

64:15 days before. I mean, some you I know are like the the

64:18 before, but you really should give a little bit more time for the

64:21 in case, right? So what need to do is you need to

64:25 of sit there and say, all , I'm gonna study, but what

64:27 not gonna do, right? So that the here's they not gonna,

64:30 not gonna read my notes, but just spent all this time writing my

64:35 . Why do I know? Because already in your head. You just

64:38 to remind yourself. Well, what I just read my notes?

64:42 I guarantee you ac, or All right. Not because I'm

64:46 but that's just how your brain So, this is what you're gonna

64:49 . You're gonna take your notes, ? 12 to 15 pages, maybe

64:53 pages. Right? You take set them over here on the

64:56 Don't look at them. You can them once, just read through them

64:59 if you want to, but set aside, blank piece of paper,

65:02 going to go through a lot of paper doing this, right? And

65:05 , OK, what did I learn first lecture? Remember what I

65:07 If you know what you're learning, know how to do it. So

65:09 did I learn that first day? the first day I learned about the

65:12 of physiology. So I'm gonna start everything I remember what I learned the

65:16 day. Oh, is this what learned the third day? And just

65:18 of go through, go through every solitary lecture. OK? You do

65:24 right? And after you've done all , take your notes that you cover

65:28 up and then look at them, everything you wrote down that matches of

65:32 original notes is something you know, yourself on the back. I'm

65:37 Right? Everything you didn't write down something you don't know. Ok.

65:43 something that you would have missed on exam. So, how do you

65:45 that? I'm gonna go and punish by writing it out. Right.

65:50 like, oh, I put this , I need to put this

65:53 You know, so you scratch out you did wrong and you put the

65:55 answer. Did you ever have to that in grade school? Right.

65:59 . I will not chew them in . I will not. Yeah.

66:02 that's kind of what you're doing is just correcting the air and you're correcting

66:05 in the spot where it needs to . The other thing that happens.

66:09 you look and you didn't put it , then you need to put it

66:11 . So that's something that you completely . And so in essence, what

66:15 doing here is you are taking that that you've already organized that's already in

66:20 head and organized in a very specific and you're filling in the gaps with

66:24 right information. That's what your goal here. The first time you do

66:28 , it's gonna suck. Like nothing's sucked before. You're gonna see

66:32 You don't know anything and that's right? But remember correct it,

66:37 a break, come back, give after 10 minutes, take your good

66:42 , put them over aside, take scratch notes, throw them away,

66:44 it again and you'll see vast The second time, do it

66:48 Third time, vast improvement. Fourth , vast improvement. What you'll see

66:51 will take you about five or six so that you can till you ultimately

66:55 totally recreate your notes from scratch. crazy. It will take literally very

67:01 time to actually master the material, proficient in the material. Once you

67:07 comfortable with that, you know, material right through these, these multiple

67:13 writing things out. And I'm write it, don't type it because

67:16 brain turns off when you type Write it all out when you do

67:20 . What you're gonna see is you're see. Oh, I know when

67:23 stop. Now, here's a really question. Have you ever gotten to

67:29 point in studying where you're like, know everything I can stop now or

67:33 you mostly study until you're tired? you go to bed, which is

67:39 and go to bed. All What is the purpose of studying to

67:43 that I've mastered or become proficient in material? That's all it is,

67:48 ? So, if you're studying till tired, that means either you're not

67:51 proficient or you're over studying, which , we said we don't want to

67:57 study and waste our time. So will know quite clearly when you have

68:04 the studying. All right, and you're done, walk away, uh

68:11 Dr Wayne, I'm an anxious I'm nervous stuff like this mix scares

68:17 . All right, fine day of exam. Do it one more

68:19 Prove to yourself that you know, information, if you can recreate it

68:23 more time on the day of the before you take the exam, you

68:26 walk in the exam with the confidence you, that you've actually done the

68:30 you're sitting there. I see, see the looks on the faces.

68:33 of you are like, I don't you. I'm just gonna go ahead

68:35 do what I've always done. Trust on this. All right. I

68:40 it's hard to take that leap but trust me, this will

68:45 All right. So go to bed a decent hour, wake up,

68:50 yourself a little bit of fuel, and take your exam afterwards.

68:54 don't even look at your score. score is secondary. I know you

68:57 looked at me. He was like ? I it's secondary, the whole

69:02 of, of, of this class what is it your grade?

69:08 whole purpose of the class is Learn physiology. If you throw the

69:14 out, if you stop focusing on grade and start focusing on what you're

69:17 , you're gonna naturally, your grades naturally gonna go up because the grade

69:22 an exam is a reflection of what learned. It's not a reflection of

69:25 you are as a person or your of going on to a higher,

69:29 , degree path. Have you ever that before? Or have you believed

69:34 everything that you do is whether it your live or die on whether or

69:37 you're gonna move forward. The moment stop looking at grades and start focusing

69:42 what it is. I'm trying to your grades. Turn around. They

69:45 up. It's the craziest thing So, I would encourage you to

69:48 worried about grades. I know it's . You're like, but, but

69:51 need this. I know, but first on the learning. The grades

69:55 take care of themselves right now. know doctor Farmer in here is ready

70:01 go. I got two minutes. . Oh, man, I'm,

70:04 is hot outside. Oh. And did have a person interrupt the

70:10 Yeah, I got pictures. Oh, I forgot about the

70:18 I got in his grill though a bit and I got pictures of him

70:22 the cameraman. Yeah. Yeah. . Yeah. Anyway, how to

70:30 a, how to take a multiple exam. All right guys scared his

70:34 . I've seen, you know, so scared, you know, you

70:37 raise your hand. Yeah. All . Most people hate multiple choice exam

70:40 there's this giant fear of, I'm ju, I'm being judged.

70:43 like an exam is simple. All is, is testing whether or

70:46 you know, the information. If learn the information you shouldn't be afraid

70:49 them. All right. But there a strategy to them and you've chosen

70:52 field where the majority of your exams be multiple choice. So if you

70:56 know how to take a multiple this is the last little bit

70:59 First thing, what you do is start at the beginning. I know

71:02 and you go through and you answer questions in order and what you're gonna

71:06 is you're gonna read the question and gonna look, you're gonna come up

71:08 an answer before you even look at answers. So I'm gonna give you

71:11 example of a question. Color of sky is blue. See, that's

71:14 good answer, right? So you through your list of answers and if

71:18 see blue mark it and go on the, but if you don't see

71:22 move, just keep going because this that this is a more challenging question

71:27 you don't wanna waste your time on questions. I'm shooting for an average

71:30 a 65 in all my exams. that scares you remember, they're just

71:34 . I could say I'm shooting for average of 30. I mean,

71:36 shooting for a 35 I could right? It's just a number.

71:41 if I'm shooting for a 65 out 100 how many questions are gonna be

71:45 questions? What do you think? ? It's not a challenging,

71:55 So the idea is, look, are gonna be easy. So get

71:58 easy ones out of the way, them done. First color color of

72:01 sky is blue. There's blue. go, I'm gonna move, color

72:04 the sky is blue. I don't it. I move on. I

72:06 go through the whole test. It'll you like 15 minutes to go through

72:08 whole test and you've answered almost 60 of the test. Go to that

72:13 question. It was color of the as you said it was blue,

72:16 you don't see blue. So you're to now start looking for more

72:20 things that sound like blue should be . All right, this is gonna

72:24 over the head of all the Cyan's in the list. Yeah,

72:28 like it's blue. The guys are , what the hell is Cyan,

72:33 ? So you go blue. All . So here's my answer. This

72:35 a thinker question and then you just through and you start answering all the

72:39 , you just skip and you keep that until you're like, you

72:41 you're crossing out answers. And finally get to that one where it's

72:44 I don't know if it's a or it's c I'm gonna flip my coin

72:47 that's OK. You can guess on last one. All right.

72:50 the challenging part, this is the you all hate when I check my

72:56 . I always change the right answers the wrong answers. Do you ever

72:58 like that? Yes, of You do. You know why?

73:01 you study this much and the test this many questions. And so your

73:06 is sitting there. Remember I said your worst enemy. What is your

73:09 trying to do? I studied this about sunset. So I'm gonna look

73:12 the sunset question. I didn't see sun question. So I'm going to

73:16 after this right here. This is be my sunset question. So this

73:18 how you, you go back and and answer the color of the sky

73:23 and you read your answer. If answer says blue and that that's matches

73:27 . That's the correct answer, then move on. Don't read any of

73:30 other answers because that's when your brain gonna start start punching you in the

73:33 . If you read the color of sky is orange, that doesn't make

73:37 sense, does it? So you're go back and you're gonna fix

73:40 But if you read the color of sky is green, the color of

73:42 sky is blue, the color is or it's red or it's gray.

73:46 , you have your brains going wait, this might be the trick

73:49 . You know, he's I heard writes a tricky test. So maybe

73:52 is about the clouds or this could about the sunset or that time when

73:55 sun dips down below the horizon in Pacific Ocean, you get that flash

73:59 green when it's just that green You know, he, he mentioned

74:02 in class and I didn't see that . I know he, you see

74:05 problem. So if you keep it , my question or my answer,

74:09 should create a true statement. And a multiple choice test is a

74:13 false question. You're just creating you're just making it a true

74:20 You start doing your check, checking your test like that, you'll

74:24 fine. All right, I'm gonna doctor Farmer come up here to start

74:30 up Thursday. That asshole shows Oh, sorry. If that jackass

74:37 up, we will deal with him . Um We'll start with physiology what

74:45 is and we'll start moving from It's going to be a lot of

74:48 . This is a fun class I will see you
