| 00:05 | So the disembodied voice you're listening to that way. And what I'd like |
|
| 00:10 | do is I'd like to, welcome you to biology. 13. |
|
| 00:15 | . This is human anatomy and One, this course is an online |
|
| 00:21 | . It's scheduled as the synchronous but we kind of treated a |
|
| 00:27 | And so what that means is, that on Tuesdays and Thursdays we are |
|
| 00:32 | scheduled of meat from 8 30 to o'clock in the morning. And because |
|
| 00:39 | has basically shut down as a result Kobe, what we're doing is we're |
|
| 00:45 | this course in a way that you take it at home in an online |
|
| 00:51 | , but because no one ever wants wake up at 8 30 the |
|
| 00:53 | we're not going to be doing We are going to have assignments that |
|
| 00:57 | and close based on times of the . But you can do them within |
|
| 01:03 | very specific and narrow time frame, will discuss during this orientation s O |
|
| 01:09 | you could do the course and mawr your leisure. Now I say more |
|
| 01:14 | less because I'm very, very keen making you guys work in study in |
|
| 01:19 | way that's going to help you retain most clearly, which means there's going |
|
| 01:24 | be a schedule. Now if you you get to do anything and everything |
|
| 01:29 | on your teenaged, warped sense of and trust me, I'm not making |
|
| 01:34 | of you. I just understand you have certain days that you are gonna |
|
| 01:40 | to get up early intake exams. the exams are scheduled from 9 to |
|
| 01:46 | a.m. On the dates that their So that would be on the Tuesday |
|
| 01:49 | the Thursday whenever our class normally meets the specific dates and September, |
|
| 01:53 | November, December. So if you're on working and making money and trying |
|
| 01:59 | do this at night, this class isn't gonna work for you. But |
|
| 02:03 | ahead and sit through the orientation, if it see if you can somehow |
|
| 02:07 | your schedule and get everything to kind sync up. So the best way |
|
| 02:12 | contact me because I won't be on , not by some it won't be |
|
| 02:17 | coming by my office. Instead, will be by email, So that's |
|
| 02:22 | the best way to get in touch me if you have something. But |
|
| 02:25 | also will be having office hours from to 11 a.m. Specifically for this course |
|
| 02:31 | on Microsoft teams. So you should aware of teams. Many of your |
|
| 02:36 | will be hot during teams, so shouldn't be too foreign to you. |
|
| 02:40 | , what I'm gonna do on those is I'm going to basically be made |
|
| 02:44 | . I'm not gonna be teaching a . I'm not gonna lecture. I'm |
|
| 02:46 | going to do tutorials. I'll be to answer specific questions. If you |
|
| 02:52 | shop. And if you don't, no skin off either of our |
|
| 02:56 | Now, one of the most important that you can do for this class |
|
| 02:59 | read your syllabus and you'll notice that thing is getting longer and longer and |
|
| 03:04 | . If you've been in college for couple of years, will noticed that |
|
| 03:07 | . I have been doing that Now this your first time in college? |
|
| 03:10 | pretend like this is no big This is what happens celeb. I |
|
| 03:15 | but in essence, what a syllabus . If you don't know what a |
|
| 03:17 | is or if you've never really learned it is. It basically outlines what |
|
| 03:21 | course does. So it's gonna talk all the all the dates, then |
|
| 03:25 | works? Planning on talking about. the key things that you need to |
|
| 03:29 | . Here are the policy things So there's gonna be a great course |
|
| 03:34 | or a great policy for the course action. Gosse policy, the withdrawal |
|
| 03:39 | , the policy. There's information about , all this stuff. So we |
|
| 03:46 | sign up and take a course. when you agree to take course, |
|
| 03:49 | you read your syllabus or not, are treating this like a U L |
|
| 03:53 | . Which is that in users license ? You know, when you download |
|
| 03:56 | , you click. Yes, I . Basically, what you're saying is |
|
| 03:59 | you take the court, you are once in the syllabus, even if |
|
| 04:02 | don't agree with it. All so you need to be sure you |
|
| 04:07 | what the expectations are in the so I would go ahead and |
|
| 04:12 | It's not as bad as it Yes, it's 12 pages, but |
|
| 04:16 | at every new section I'm cutting the . Officers. Some pages are just |
|
| 04:20 | now, some of the basics of policy that you'll need to understand this |
|
| 04:24 | some of the real simple ones in of drops from draws, you always |
|
| 04:28 | you know what the important dates for classes are? All right, So |
|
| 04:32 | last day to drop this class without grade isn't September 9th of this |
|
| 04:36 | Last day to drop the class of W is November 3rd the best thing |
|
| 04:41 | view to figure out what your dates . What you need is to go |
|
| 04:44 | look at the academic calendar, which be found using U H u. |
|
| 04:51 | then just look for the little, , a little magnifying glass and use |
|
| 04:56 | search engines just type in that. right now, the academic honesty, |
|
| 05:03 | , stuff. There's a link in syllabus for you to copy and paste |
|
| 05:08 | you want to, or you can look up academic. Honesty's in the |
|
| 05:12 | catalog, but the gist of it it basically tells you what can happen |
|
| 05:16 | you if you break the rules of class, right? So the easy |
|
| 05:22 | to do instead of me saying all the horrible things that can happen |
|
| 05:25 | you. Why don't you just go flip it the other way? Just |
|
| 05:27 | I'm not gonna lie about things. not gonna cheat. So I'm gonna |
|
| 05:31 | things I'm not supposed to do and not gonna steal. And basically, |
|
| 05:35 | are three things in life. If could do these three things, you're |
|
| 05:37 | be more successful than if you All right. He's will lead to |
|
| 05:41 | term gains, long term losses. don't want the long loss. |
|
| 05:47 | if you're a student with a the university has set up all sorts |
|
| 05:52 | services for you. Just type in term CSD, or you can go |
|
| 05:56 | their website and you can look What sort of things need to be |
|
| 06:02 | before classes begin or wild classes are up. So and what little |
|
| 06:07 | So go check those Webster. Those pages out on and find out a |
|
| 06:12 | bit more about what's going on now this class, we're gonna get a |
|
| 06:16 | of different things because everything's online. need to know where to find |
|
| 06:20 | So are our starting point is really . It's called blackboard. Learn that's |
|
| 06:25 | full thing. But just blackboard is we referred to it. This is |
|
| 06:28 | you're going to see your announcements. is where I post all sorts of |
|
| 06:31 | policy. This is syllabus is there's you can find it. Slide for |
|
| 06:36 | lectures that I'm giving. If you to go download them, all the |
|
| 06:39 | to every one of your assignments could found here, or at least links |
|
| 06:42 | the places that were those signs. , where you'll be taking you're exams |
|
| 06:47 | last thing, this is where you see your grades. You can see |
|
| 06:50 | I say, mostly inaccurate grades. the reason I say that is because |
|
| 06:55 | is not a great book. People it is, it's not. It's |
|
| 06:59 | terrible, terrible, terrible spreadsheet, it can't do the things that it |
|
| 07:04 | to be done in order for you calculate grades. And so I'm gonna |
|
| 07:07 | you a formula a little bit later to show you in a calculator grade |
|
| 07:11 | that you can be on top of your grades are. Do not rely |
|
| 07:14 | blackboard for your grades, where you're get it wrong. I can't do |
|
| 07:20 | . The only thing it's good about is keeping track of their scores so |
|
| 07:25 | can look at something and say, a second. I didn't learn |
|
| 07:27 | Great. I know you're in the grades, and so that's when you |
|
| 07:29 | contact me, and I can let know that just hasn't updated itself or |
|
| 07:36 | textbook and for your homework. So is required reading in the class. |
|
| 07:41 | right, so the textbook is a textbook. It's been a digital textbooks |
|
| 07:45 | since its production. It's calling as and physiology in context. I refer |
|
| 07:51 | it as top hat, so you'll this over and over again. Top |
|
| 07:57 | . All right, top hat is A backbone to the course, |
|
| 08:03 | So it's your textbook. That is your homework is gonna be. Now |
|
| 08:06 | other homework that you're going to do separate. It's owned by a different |
|
| 08:10 | , and this is gonna be called learning, all right. And so |
|
| 08:15 | gonna need to purchase boast of both these things for the class. |
|
| 08:18 | if you access Appling learning and you're on taking the class for two |
|
| 08:24 | MP one MP to then you know $30 for you. That's not a |
|
| 08:29 | deal. And then, of you take MP 12 here, then |
|
| 08:32 | really $115. So this really is two semesters, but it drawing taking |
|
| 08:38 | semester's worth three still paying the same . Now what I want to do |
|
| 08:42 | I want to talk about how I've the course, because this is really |
|
| 08:46 | to understanding the philosophy that I have , uh, how you're going to |
|
| 08:53 | working. All right, so the is basically designed to expose you to |
|
| 08:58 | in a metered fashion. Now, you don't know what the term meter |
|
| 09:02 | , I want you to think about video game. I think everyone here |
|
| 09:04 | played one video game. You cannot fight the boss until you travel through |
|
| 09:09 | the minions. You can't go to 10 until you've gone through level one |
|
| 09:13 | level nine. In other words, they're doing is they're gating or medium |
|
| 09:18 | re meet touring at your process before can progress through part of reason that |
|
| 09:25 | of our gaming companies do this because want you stay and play their game |
|
| 09:30 | they don't have to make new They want you to be struggling as |
|
| 09:33 | as you can before they have to in your content. That's what we're |
|
| 09:37 | to do. Instead, what we're to do is we're trying to |
|
| 09:41 | You better retain information by exposing you a very specific way so that the |
|
| 09:49 | is hitting you in waves and so you hold onto it longer. And |
|
| 09:53 | you can think of the structure as designed around the lecture. All |
|
| 09:57 | so this is my center point. means there's a before and there's an |
|
| 10:02 | . So what do we do? , before class, you're going to |
|
| 10:05 | your textbook. And so the idea is that this is your first |
|
| 10:10 | It's your exposure, and this becomes , very important because by first seeing |
|
| 10:16 | you're going to be learning, it you hone in on what's important. |
|
| 10:20 | this point, you're not trying to stuff. You're just trying to understand |
|
| 10:23 | direction of going. It's like looking a map, trying to figure out |
|
| 10:27 | you're going to go. All In the lecture This is where we're |
|
| 10:32 | to reinforce what you learned here, right. And it's going to help |
|
| 10:37 | to focus in on those important So you're going to go and watch |
|
| 10:43 | listen to the videos that I've already for you. This is, in |
|
| 10:45 | , if you were if this is face to face class, you becoming |
|
| 10:48 | class, and this is the purpose that. All right, so here |
|
| 10:52 | we're doing is we're moving all the that's really unimportant off the table. |
|
| 10:57 | going to allow you to focus in what you're doing. All right, |
|
| 11:02 | going to tell you this is what trying to learn. And then |
|
| 11:05 | after we figure out what we're trying learn, then what we're gonna do |
|
| 11:08 | we're gonna practices, and this is the latches. So we have the |
|
| 11:13 | home there as problem sets to help kind of look at everything so you |
|
| 11:18 | see it's kind of a three step . If everything is based around |
|
| 11:21 | expose myself. I reinforce and clean , and then I'm going to |
|
| 11:27 | If you do this over and over , what it does help you to |
|
| 11:30 | information better. In fact, this actually kind of what athletes do when |
|
| 11:37 | are, you know, practicing for sport. Or musicians do when they |
|
| 11:43 | their music. They first look at music than they kind of walk through |
|
| 11:48 | make notes about what they're gonna Then they practice it. All |
|
| 11:52 | that's kind of the idea. So kind of look and see what all |
|
| 11:57 | different things are. And so you I said, There's that textbook. |
|
| 12:00 | call it Top Hat. That's the of the top hat assignments. So |
|
| 12:05 | gonna be this pre reading assignment, embedded in these readings are questions right |
|
| 12:11 | . What we refer to as the after questions and doing these questions accounts |
|
| 12:16 | 10% of your final grade. So you don't do, um, |
|
| 12:19 | you can get the classes of All right, so these air required |
|
| 12:24 | . Now what you're doing is you're read the assignment to go do those |
|
| 12:27 | chapter questions. These always open up 10 a.m. After the previous lecture or |
|
| 12:33 | the exam day, right, So exam on Thursday you know. Then |
|
| 12:39 | 10 a.m. It's your Your next lecture going to open up, and then |
|
| 12:44 | have until Tuesday 8 30 to read . Okay, if you have a |
|
| 12:51 | class than on Tuesday at 10 a.m. the previous lecture day. It's gonna |
|
| 12:57 | up, and you have until a to read the assignment. So obviously |
|
| 13:04 | Thursday, the Tuesday's a little bit than Tuesday to Thursday. But that's |
|
| 13:07 | the nature of how these classes We don't have. We have a |
|
| 13:11 | day week with a weekend I don't to be reading on Saturday, |
|
| 13:16 | I'm sure you're not going to. then remember we said we had electro |
|
| 13:21 | , so this would be that pre before class assignment. And then the |
|
| 13:27 | technically begins at 8 30 Now you have to get up at 8 30 |
|
| 13:31 | videos. You can watch it at leisure, right? But what we |
|
| 13:37 | here is we have other questions that associated with those videos. So for |
|
| 13:44 | lecture that an open up at 8 then the day before the exam, |
|
| 13:49 | videos closed. So you can These questions are a little bit more |
|
| 13:54 | than these questions, because I'm giving a little bit more time. |
|
| 13:57 | What I will tell you is these knowledge question They're easy. They're just |
|
| 14:01 | say yes, I actually watched the . These are gonna help you to |
|
| 14:06 | on important ideas and to start writing and parsing through information. So it's |
|
| 14:13 | specifically to help you hone in and in on the important ideas. Then |
|
| 14:21 | have the after class. So if had the before class, this is |
|
| 14:25 | class, then this is the after . I didn't even notice that it |
|
| 14:30 | be a B c a. I it was anyway. So again, |
|
| 14:36 | another 10%. So all of a , now, if you don't do |
|
| 14:39 | of these two assignments were down 20% the best grade get is an |
|
| 14:44 | So once again, this is It's a different publisher, all |
|
| 14:49 | And these air always gonna open up 10 a.m. After class. So remember |
|
| 14:53 | we said. His class is 8 to 10 a.m. So if the videos |
|
| 14:59 | this period, of time here. starting here at the end of |
|
| 15:04 | Over here. This is where the reading is going to be. All |
|
| 15:08 | . So they opened up in 10 10 a. M for that particular |
|
| 15:12 | . So if you're doing lecture aid the homework for lecture, Ace opens |
|
| 15:16 | 10 a.m. And then they close at the day after. So you have |
|
| 15:22 | 37 hours to do the assignments and only about 30 questions for each of |
|
| 15:28 | , so it will never take you hours. Most people get it done |
|
| 15:31 | less than an hour, usually about minutes. It's not very hard, |
|
| 15:35 | right? And so the idea here OK, you've learned. So now |
|
| 15:42 | . So I read before I have the lectures and then I practice. |
|
| 15:48 | the structure of the class. Now people don't like the limitations in terms |
|
| 15:55 | the number of questions. I you'd be surprised every semester. I |
|
| 15:58 | have students come to me and Hey, I need more questions to |
|
| 16:02 | . I want to practice more blood . Well, I have good news |
|
| 16:05 | those people who like to do All right. Usually on the last |
|
| 16:10 | class at 10 a.m. Just before the day. All right, so if |
|
| 16:13 | was a Tuesday, will open up Tuesday to name for the Thursday Open |
|
| 16:18 | it, Thursday at 10 a.m. And , you have a Siris of end |
|
| 16:23 | chapter questions that are typically that are with the top half. All |
|
| 16:27 | Now, you don't need to do questions. They are not required. |
|
| 16:32 | don't count for credit. They are for those of you who love toe |
|
| 16:37 | extra questions, all right, These of questions, they're gonna be, |
|
| 16:41 | , multiple choice, but they might fill in the blank. They might |
|
| 16:44 | all sorts of stuff. There is what's whatever the book provided. I'm |
|
| 16:48 | giving you more of them, all . Our tests are always gonna be |
|
| 16:53 | choice. So don't look at these how the test has been run. |
|
| 16:58 | look at these as a way to your knowledge in different ways. So |
|
| 17:02 | you'd like to have the extra view , they're gonna be available now. |
|
| 17:08 | our exams Now you do you need show up for these. There's gonna |
|
| 17:11 | on blackboard. All right, I'm make you get up at 8 30 |
|
| 17:15 | take exams, but because I have make you take him during the time |
|
| 17:18 | , it's going to be 98. a one hour exam. You have |
|
| 17:22 | questions or multiple choice. That means tested worth 100 points. All |
|
| 17:26 | that's easy. Way to do But you can just think of |
|
| 17:28 | Each of the test is worth 20% my final grade. And here are |
|
| 17:32 | dates you can see September 7 18 13th, November 5th. And |
|
| 17:38 | the last one is December 3rd. right, now you're going to be |
|
| 17:42 | this on blackboard. You're going to using a very specific browsers called the |
|
| 17:49 | Locked Down browser, and it's going monitor responders Brown. What that means |
|
| 17:54 | , is you're required to have a so that you could be monitored while |
|
| 18:00 | take the test. All right, , this is not a big |
|
| 18:04 | It's It's basically an AI that sits and ensures that is, is that |
|
| 18:11 | who is focused on the exam and that you have one hour and 50 |
|
| 18:15 | . That's basically one question per, , every minute. And I think |
|
| 18:20 | like, 16 seconds, maybe off a couple seconds there. All |
|
| 18:25 | Most Utah playoff time to take the . So this is not a big |
|
| 18:29 | . But you need to make sure have a webcam that is functional and |
|
| 18:35 | with this responders browser. You can to download the browser and stuff is |
|
| 18:40 | on blackboard. So it gives you you need to know, but were |
|
| 18:44 | to ask. So it will be there, and you have three weeks |
|
| 18:49 | figure it out. All right? all the exams are non cumulative. |
|
| 18:54 | ? I'm not gonna ask you stuff the first unit if I mean, |
|
| 18:58 | I'm testing you on the second Alright. Similar on the third |
|
| 19:01 | Among a test. You on stuff the second, the first unit. |
|
| 19:05 | I will tell you that this is biology class, and biology classes are |
|
| 19:11 | not unique. But they are structured such a way that stuff in later |
|
| 19:17 | are completely dependent on stuff in earlier . And so if you didn't learn |
|
| 19:20 | stuff in the early unit that later get more and more difficult as you |
|
| 19:25 | . So I may not be asking about stuff from the first unit, |
|
| 19:29 | you certainly have to apply it. if you don't know it, it's |
|
| 19:31 | gonna make sense. Now. I not drop exams, so you will |
|
| 19:36 | four exams. Each will then war 20%. So if you missed an |
|
| 19:41 | , that's 20% of great gun. it kind of shows you kind of |
|
| 19:46 | big picture, what your grades look . And here's a simpler way to |
|
| 19:50 | at this, right. We have top hat. Those were those reading |
|
| 19:55 | with their questions. Those were the lectures with their questions, and that's |
|
| 20:01 | be 10% grade. Now. The this works is top hat is. |
|
| 20:06 | of those questions are worth one And so it's like, how many |
|
| 20:10 | could you have earned over 300 something unit? How many of them did |
|
| 20:15 | get? Right? And so that's it kind of calculates the great All |
|
| 20:20 | , so calculating the top hat is the easiest thing in the world |
|
| 20:25 | But you can kind of look at scores because they will tell you how |
|
| 20:28 | accumulated versus the total that you um, available to you. So |
|
| 20:36 | half 10%. We have sapling. were the after lecture, um, |
|
| 20:43 | and also includes an orientation quiz, you will need to take our |
|
| 20:48 | All right, so after you watch video available on blackboard there is a |
|
| 20:55 | to 25 question quiz. It's gonna you some very basic questions. You |
|
| 21:00 | come back and look at this. you want to, there's no timer |
|
| 21:03 | it. Basically, you just answer questions and there's 24 sapling questions so |
|
| 21:08 | , that's 25 assignments. And so take all those and average it |
|
| 21:13 | That's where your timbers and and finally say we have for exams. Each |
|
| 21:18 | these four exams are roughly 20%. overall, the average of all four |
|
| 21:23 | those. So if you wanted to the math yourself, then this is |
|
| 21:29 | the forgettable looks like. All Your final grade is gonna be equal |
|
| 21:34 | the average of your exams times 80% the average of your top hat |
|
| 21:40 | All right, that's 10% plus the of your sampling assignments. I was |
|
| 21:47 | Very simple formula. Now the question , is there a curve? And |
|
| 21:52 | historically, this class has always had curve. Now, typically, the |
|
| 21:57 | on Lee affect students below the B . Typically, students in the A |
|
| 22:02 | the beam range are doing well enough there is nothing that really kind of |
|
| 22:07 | their grade. It's really the ones are in the lower ranges. So |
|
| 22:11 | count on a curve to get you passing or to the great that you |
|
| 22:16 | . All right. What you want do is you want to figure out |
|
| 22:19 | you lie relative to your classmates, you try to do better than everybody |
|
| 22:24 | . In fact, that's how you always treated Curve is how do I |
|
| 22:27 | better than now? There is what call a normal distribution. And so |
|
| 22:34 | we do is I Basically, I a class and I look at the |
|
| 22:37 | and look at the curve. I , OK, what is that Middle |
|
| 22:42 | , right. So then I figure using a normalize distribution where the seam |
|
| 22:46 | where the B ranges where the a in the F Ranger? All |
|
| 22:51 | so that would be a B. if there there's Dean would be |
|
| 22:56 | All right now, I will only a curve to help the class. |
|
| 23:01 | will never use the curve to harm class. That's chemistries. Job chemistry |
|
| 23:06 | make sure that only one person gets A in some cases, all |
|
| 23:11 | you can ignore this line right If I have extra credit for the |
|
| 23:15 | , I will apply it after the is establishment. As of right |
|
| 23:18 | I am not planning on extra So with that in mind, if |
|
| 23:24 | didn't, if you kind of fell in the middle middle of all |
|
| 23:26 | which you do, you need a . Go watch a little bit of |
|
| 23:29 | and then go and take that orientation on blackboard and submit that that's going |
|
| 23:36 | be part of your great If you questions, you didn't come to office |
|
| 23:41 | and ask |
