02:02 , I hate email. I get 80 to 100 emails a day.
02:06 excluding the junk, right? Throw junk on top of that. You're

02:33 . You guys should try it. take the email off your phone.
02:36 be the happiest people ever. so my office hours should you want
02:40 come see me is right after Uh I say 10 o'clock to 11
02:45 . Um, I have another class one o'clock so I like to eat
02:48 before the other class. But if kind of bleed over into the past
02:52 30 that's fine. Um, you trap me here for a couple of
02:55 , but usually I'm like, let's to get over to my office because
02:58 gonna be people who are gonna be over there to come talk to
03:00 All right. So that's the best . But if you can't meet during
03:03 , if you have another class or like that, email me, make
03:06 , we will find a time to . I'm not sitting here trying to
03:09 you guys. All right. So job here, you know,
03:12 I do want to have that ability contact you and help you,
03:16 achieve your goals. Uh, what gonna do in this class, let
03:19 just kind of, uh, go the, uh, outline of the
03:23 . This is that boring day. used, I used to actually teach
03:26 this day, but they keep giving more and more stuff to talk about
03:28 the first day. Uh, but , so make sure you read the
03:32 , um, if you don't know end user license agreement. A,
03:36 basically the thing when you download it gives you that whole thing that
03:39 just click and say, I You've given away your first born,
03:42 done all sorts of horrible stuff. ? What a syllabus does. It
03:45 tells you, I agree that what have here is what I'm going to
03:48 in order to achieve, you the grades that you've laid out.
03:52 know, in other words, it's , all of the grades of
03:54 the material we're going for when we're meet when the tests are. So
03:58 has policies for the course, it all the university policies in there.
04:02 has the academic honesty policy, so and so forth. So, just
04:05 through that to make sure you understand you're dealing with truthfully. You have
04:08 student handbook that you guys never It's, you know, ridiculous number
04:12 pages on, on the websites and why they keep putting it over into
04:15 syllabi because no one ever reads But the big important stuff is there
04:19 you can kind of get a gist what's going on. So,
04:22 for example, what, you what is, you gotta make sure
04:24 even works in here. Uh, is the withdrawal policy when, when's
04:28 last act can withdraw um, you , what does it mean? Academic
04:33 , what are my rights because you rights as a student when you are
04:37 of violating academic honesty. And so not like you're just, we're coming
04:42 on the, with the hammer, are rules kind of look over that
04:45 to kind of get a sense of going on, but mostly it's important
04:48 that, you know what you're trying do in the course, which is
04:51 that first line is up there. right. So make sure you read
04:54 . Uh, just for your sake . Uh, so the can drop
04:58 class. No grade is gonna be September 6th. What that means is
05:03 when you transfer show up on your , but for every day after the
05:10 day, so if you don't wanna is better than later, right?
05:18 after the last day there, now get a grade, that's a w
05:22 withdrawal, you're allowed six over your academic career. And that includes if
05:26 transferring in from a state institution. , so make sure, you know
05:32 , you know, if you want stay or go, uh last day
05:35 drop the classes on the 15th of , I think that's after the third
05:39 . I can't, honestly, I know, I don't keep track of
05:42 dates. Um, but, you have plenty of time to kind
05:45 figure out do I stay in the ? Or not. And I'm just
05:48 say this. Now, I'm gonna it about 30 other times over the
05:51 of the semester. The first time have a bad experience. Don't drop
05:54 class, not just mine. Just class. If you like bomb a
05:57 , if you like face plant and bloody your nose and you feel like
06:00 dumbest person on the planet, dust off, know that you're smart because
06:05 got into college, right? You here so you can do it.
06:10 dust yourself off and say I can it and make some modifications,
06:15 Don't just panic the first time. bad happens. All right.
06:19 academic honesty real simple. Don't Don't cheat, don't steal.
06:22 we could go into what each of mean, but why a waste of
06:26 right now. And lastly, if you are a student with a
06:30 and you need, um, uh, accommodations, uh, you
06:33 just go to, to their you can use that or just do
06:37 quick search. Uh, I think a state law that says everything has
06:40 be three clicks away from the front . So the easiest thing to do
06:44 just, uh, do a search any of those things. Any seniors
06:49 here, couple you guys graduating this or graduating in the spring,
06:55 spring, spring. Ok. so usually I ask this, you
06:59 , it's rare we see graduating seniors in the fall but there are dates
07:03 a graduating senior that you have to , like, the time you have
07:06 pay for. Oh, I don't your graduation stuff and certain things that
07:11 have to do to know those things have to know your academic calendar and
07:15 all listed there. So, when time in the spring I'm looking at
07:19 guys here, uh, go academic and just see where are my dates
07:22 put them in your phone to make you meet those things because there's nothing
07:25 than you. You walk across the and you didn't pay something and now
07:28 have to wait a whole semester to receive your diploma. All right.
07:33 anyway, so everything you need can found just I'm gonna have to get
07:38 of those lights apparently. Um, you need can be just go to
07:42 front page and then just search and can find things pretty quick. All
07:48 , you guys had classes yesterday. right. So you've already played with
07:53 . How many of you guys in school did Canvas? All right.
07:56 been here for 17 years. This my first year with canvass. It
08:01 one big giant mess for those of who've never done campus, right?
08:05 so we're on the back side trying figure this stuff out. I'm just
08:08 let you know right now. I , you guys saw what happened with
08:10 yesterday morning. Right. That wasn't fun. No, it was
08:14 It was. Imagine us on the side, we're like, none of
08:17 our students are emailing us. I 400 students in this class. None
08:20 you emailed me, which was But like my colleagues next door,
08:24 were just like panicking. I'm we'll see what happens, you
08:28 But anyway, so with regard to , it's all new for all of
08:33 . For those of you who played canvas, you're good to go.
08:35 remember on the design side, we , we've been working with blackboard,
08:39 other platform for years and years and . So it's gonna be very new
08:43 very buggy for all of us at university. So please be patient.
08:47 know, if there's a problem, email me, say, hey,
08:48 can't figure this out. What did do? And I'll try to figure
08:51 out half the time. It's me the publish button. All right,
08:54 found that out yesterday. All So that's it. But on
09:00 I've tried to make it as simple possible to find everything. So announcements
09:04 there, your power points are gonna there all the policies, any assignment
09:08 you have? I actually record every , this microphone right here is for
09:12 . This one is for the Um And so I record everything.
09:16 , there's uh a link to Can I even put the link on
09:20 . Crap. I may not have the link up. There will be
09:24 link there. All right, all is available. Um I mean,
09:29 that you can just go back and lectures. They're already indexed for
09:33 meaning you can type in keywords and take you right to the slide where
09:36 talking, which is kind of like infinitely better than youtube.
09:41 I don't know. No one ever about it. So, anyway,
09:45 all that's there. And, uh last thing I point out is the
09:47 book. Um, I've never trusted, grade books just because they
09:53 think how I think. And so math is off usually by a couple
09:58 . So just be aware, this a way to keep track of your
10:01 , not a way to calculate your . You should be doing your own
10:05 . All right. Um, you read in this class if you don't
10:08 reading, uh, you're probably in wrong side of the profession. So
10:12 sciences actually do require reading a lot it. Uh, you know,
10:17 , uh, let's ask a Health, health, who's planning on
10:21 health? I mean, who's doing like I want to be a
10:24 I wanna be optometrist. I wanna physical therapist. Somebody who touches
10:29 right? Or his dear blood. . Yeah. All right.
10:33 your education doesn't stop when you get degree. All right. In order
10:37 be a practicing blank, you have do continuing education for the rest of
10:41 life, which means you have to . Yeah. So, part of
10:47 training now begins with this idea I'm always gonna be reading stuff.
10:52 know we don't like to read. right, you've not been trained to
10:57 . And so this is that first of I, you wanna be what
11:00 wanna be, You wanna be a ? All right, let me show
11:03 how to do this. One of things that you're gonna have to do
11:05 you're gonna do a lot of So that's one of our, our
11:08 . It's not a hard read. an easy read. It's actually
11:11 it's fairly uh uh good in terms the authors, they did a good
11:15 writing. Um But that's the It's an, an physiology, the
11:20 already on campus, you just click link and you can read or you
11:22 go to the top hat website and stuff's there as well. But
11:26 that's the easy part right there. right. And then we have
11:29 uh that's gonna be through this book well and we're gonna have other assignments
11:34 because the homework that's here is not robust. This is more robust.
11:39 we're gonna be using both those things help you understand the material that we're
11:44 about in class. All right. the way that you can think
11:47 This class is house design. There an actual design. I don't just
11:50 in here and just start yammering. might feel like it some days.
11:53 right. But that's not what I'm . All right. So the design
11:56 very, very simple. The way learn things is to repeat things over
12:00 over and over again. All Anyone here play an instrument,
12:04 So how did you become proficient at that instrument? What's the word you
12:10 ? Practice? In other words, did it over and over and over
12:13 . All right. How do you like to play video games? Doesn't
12:15 if it's Candy Crush doesn't matter if Call of duty doesn't matter. All
12:19 . How do you become good at video game? You play it over
12:23 over and over again, much to the sugar of your parents?
12:26 right. How do you become good ? All right. Do you see
12:33 common theme here? Right. So do you become good at school?
12:39 ? You study? All right. what we're gonna do is before class
12:43 come semi prepared right now. When say semi prepared, I don't expect
12:47 to come in here knowing everything. expect you to expose yourself to the
12:52 . That's why we read the All right. So that's step one
12:55 that we're going to read the book we're going to look at it to
12:58 of see what are we going talking today? All right. So when
13:01 read, I don't want you reading spending 3 to 4 hours trying to
13:06 the material for some sort of quiz exam that doesn't exist. The next
13:11 . I want you to read Like you're reading a book or a
13:14 . Ok. Now, embedded in text, there's questions that are going
13:19 , this is part of your reading , right? So it's like you
13:21 the paragraph and it says, what you the last paragraph? And you
13:24 kind of answer the questions. some of you are gonna go,
13:26 just gonna go answer the questions. , there's a goal here. You
13:30 a long term goal. You're trying get on to your profession eventually,
13:34 ? And so what you're trying to here is I'm trying to create a
13:38 of behavior, not a, I'm to skip stuff. OK? Let
13:41 ask you the question. If you a person who knew that the nurse
13:45 the doctor who was working on, slept through the material that you were
13:49 to be working on or that you done on you. Would you want
13:53 working on you? No. Would want your grandma to be seen by
13:57 person? No. So you need start if you, if this is
14:01 a habit of yours, this is that you wanna start doing right.
14:04 wanna start behaving in a way that you internalize information. So starting by
14:11 and just reading the text and ok, what are we gonna be
14:14 in the next class? Is that step? You're gonna see stuff that
14:19 not gonna understand. That's ok. gonna be stuff you're gonna look
14:23 see this stuff 1000 times. You got something already internalized. That's
14:28 . Then you come to class and gonna try to point out all the
14:30 stuff. All right. So you up to class, there is a
14:34 correlation between those who attend classes and who don't in terms of their
14:39 Have you noticed that when you were home during the COVID years that you
14:43 learn anything? Right. What did do? You got online, you
14:47 on your camera, smile, turn your camera and then you walked into
14:50 room or maybe you sat there and on your phone or maybe you had
14:53 screens and you did the, the screen thing, right? Guess
14:57 I did that too, right? all do that because it's, if
15:02 not engaged, it's hard to pay , right? It's much harder to
15:07 when you're not there. And in , what happens is you now have
15:11 be the person to teach yourself. since you lack the expertise to teach
15:15 , it's gonna be much, much difficult for you to learn. So
15:19 up to class. 8 30 I know. It sucks. It
15:22 for me too. I got up early this morning because I knew there
15:25 construction on the highway between my home here and I thought I've got to
15:28 past this stuff or I'm gonna be skating into the university at 8
15:33 So not me. I am a owl. I do not like getting
15:37 early, but we do it. right. So you come to
15:41 I'm gonna talk about what I think important from the text. I'm gonna
15:44 out and try to show you that , the details and all the stuff
15:48 you should know. All right. here you are, you're gonna be
15:51 class and you're in theory taking notes now. Does that mean you are
15:55 be my secretary taking down every word I say? No, that means
15:59 gonna be taking notes in such a that it reminds you of the important
16:04 . All right, then after what you wanna do is you're gonna
16:08 the home work, right? And I say the homework, there's going
16:10 be questions that are kind of long . We're going to deal with those
16:14 a minute that kind of help you your ideas and the thoughts and then
16:17 homework is just gonna say, did get this point? Did you get
16:19 point? Did you get this Did you understand this idea?
16:23 And there's two different types of But here that's the practice.
16:26 notice for one subject, what are , how many times are we approaching
16:30 ? Three times? I can't even that by bad ligament. Right.
16:35 , three times. So you're hitting over and over and over again.
16:40 burst helps you learn the material and . It helps you hold on to
16:44 information right now. What types of assignments do we have or what type
16:49 assignments? So, in terms of grades, we have the top
16:53 That's the reading. And so there two basic assignments in there and it's
16:56 be 10% of your grade. One the reading assignments inside those, like
16:59 said, there's in chapter questions, easy. They're literally, what did
17:02 just read those very, very These questions are gonna open up,
17:08 reading assignment always opens up right after at 10 o'clock and then goes until
17:12 next class at 8 30. So have however much time. So from
17:16 Tuesday to a Thursday, that's a over two days or a little under
17:20 days from Thursday to Tuesday, that's little under five days. So you
17:25 plenty of time to read them and not always gonna be, they're not
17:28 long reading assignments. All right. , the other type, these are
17:33 open up right after class. So assignments always open up right after class
17:37 notice they're all gated. All And then what happens is, is
17:41 will not close until midnight just before exam. And these are really kind
17:46 these open ended questions that I want help you that I want you to
17:49 to help you understand what it is you're trying to learn the big picture
17:53 help you to organize ideas. What it? I'm trying to understand about
17:57 class. All right. So they're questions based on what we call the
18:01 objectives. So, all right. basically, it's like, did you
18:04 this idea? Did you understand the of this? And again,
18:08 they're not hard, they just help . I uh understand our ideas.
18:11 basically, you do these two things 10% of your grade. The other
18:16 of homework is, is more akin the type of homework you're used to
18:19 you're dealing with like a class where like, uh this is through
18:24 They're gonna open up at 10 they close up uh literally the day
18:29 class at midnight, Tuesday, they up at 10, they close at
18:33 at midnight on uh Thursday, they at Friday at midnight. All
18:39 And uh the idea here, these just kind of like the types of
18:43 you used to like, you click and point and identify the
18:48 that sort of thing All right. , you probably saw this on the
18:52 slide uh, during the first couple weeks. Um, I have a
18:56 bit more freedom in terms of the just because I know I'm gonna have
18:59 ads and I hate going in and people in and stuff like that.
19:04 I want you to start doing it if the deadlines weren't there. All
19:09 . But if you need the, use the extension up through, uh
19:12 think it's next Thursday, then that's . But after that, there's no
19:17 other than like, oh, I sick and dying and please help
19:21 All right. So what does the look like? Um In connect,
19:26 is the only time, time you'll the broken debt. So sometimes they'll
19:29 up as a single assignment like this all of the assignments are gonna be
19:32 a total of 100 points. So can see here, it's like you'll
19:35 lecture two homework or some times there's different types of assignments. And so
19:41 might be broken down into different It doesn't mean that there's more,
19:44 just means that I had to pull from different areas that connect has.
19:50 so you'll see three different types of . Basically, the first type is
19:54 is adaptive learning. Uh You've probably adaptive learning in other classes where it's
19:58 like a question deck and you just of keep rolling through them until you
20:01 them. All right. Right. , if you're not getting them
20:04 they're gonna keep throwing questions at you you get them. All right.
20:07 that can be 20 minutes of your . It could be three hours of
20:10 time. Right. Just depends on you're paying attention or not.
20:14 the second type, these are the , these are anatomy and physiology or
20:18 and histology models. Um, So we're getting deep into the anatomy,
20:23 where you'll see those where it's like we're not attached to the lab,
20:28 wanna give you some exposure to some uh some material that is actually
20:33 it's not hands on, but it's than a picture that I just showed
20:36 in, in on the lecture And then the third type, these
20:40 just the type of homework assignment you used to. Again, the multiple
20:44 click, put in the word point the subject, that sort of
20:51 right? I'm gonna pause here for second there. Questions about the
20:54 I know that without seeing them, hard to, to describe a other
20:58 , but you got the idea. is after class. There's two
21:01 You got that. All right, guys understand lectures, right? Show
21:08 , right? OK. Uh The will become available before class. They
21:12 . So you're always kind of like like eight o'clock, I think they
21:15 available. Um The last thing here so this is your orientation and so
21:22 usually are used to get like 1000 . Like what about this? What
21:26 this? So this kind of hey, were you paying attention?
21:32 these are questions about today? This due on the September 1st and basically
21:38 , were you paying attention? Oh by the way, for all the
21:41 assignment, you can work them over over and over again until you get
21:43 perfect score before the deadline. So no like, oh, I got
21:47 70. 0, well, just working them and until you the point
21:50 practice should be practice, right? you should be getting that score to
21:56 everything else up. Um Anyway, do this, let's just make sure
22:00 you were listening today. All Now some students panic around test
22:08 Are you one of those students? . Oh no, I'm not
22:13 You're ready. All right. If study, you're gonna be ready.
22:16 right. But just in case at end of every chapter, there's always
22:20 chapter review. This is not an that you have to do. But
22:24 you need more questions to work with becomes available right before the test on
22:29 last day of or right after the lecture before the test, right?
22:34 don't have to do them. You see up there. What does it
22:36 ? Does not count for credit? right. But you'll see them
22:40 This is they're kind of in their little section that says review. So
22:45 you like doing them great, if , don't worry about it. All
22:49 , my tests are always gonna be choice. All the questions you're gonna
22:53 are gonna be other things other than choice just because that's what publishers
23:00 Ok, here's the stuff you care exams. We have four of
23:05 You can see the dates up So, yeah, I remember,
23:08 said November 15th last day to So you get three exams for the
23:11 date. All right. Um So mark those notice that um our last
23:16 is the last day of classes. you will not be extending off into
23:21 finals period. You're done on November . Uh Each of my tests are
23:26 hour long. They're 50 questions That's the standard for this field.
23:31 for the rest of your lives in field, most of your tests,
23:34 not, all of your tests should roughly at that pace. Right?
23:38 question or I can't remember what the is. It's like one minute and
23:43 seconds or 12 seconds. All Now, each of the tests,
23:47 just given an assignment 100 points each because that's how my brain works.
23:51 gonna be done through CSA. All . So if you're new to the
23:55 and you've never done CASA? Do have new people never done.
23:59 Now, all the people who've done before raise your hand does Casa
24:05 Right. Do you hear that? the people who haven't done Casa?
24:08 right. Just, just so, know, I'm aware it sucks.
24:12 the people around you will tell it sucks. Right. But in
24:15 , what you need to do if never been here at the university and
24:18 is your first semester. you need go to the website and I think
24:21 still need to register, uh, make sure that, that you are
24:26 to do all the stuff. And think, uh, CASA, there's
24:30 CASA right here garrison or not garrison sea BB in this building right next
24:34 . My guess is our tests are be way on the other side of
24:37 at the Garrison Gym. All But you, you, when you
24:42 up and register for your test it will tell you where it is
24:44 make sure that, you know, your test is actually at. And
24:48 actually a third one used to be in Agnes Arnold Hall. I don't
24:51 if they still have it in in that area, but it's,
24:54 used to be one there as But the principle here is simply this
24:57 the days of exams, whatever those days are, you're going to sign
25:02 two weeks beforehand. So our first is in three weeks So in a
25:06 , the sign ups will open up then what you're gonna do is you
25:11 and you pick your time. This a lot like trying to,
25:13 pick your seat on a Southwest flight everyone's gonna be like, trying to
25:18 that 6 a.m. or that six o'clock seven o'clock last test time. All
25:23 . So it's kind of that battle the last slot. If you're
25:27 take the first lot, get go have a happy hour. Make
25:30 life easy. All right. But idea is, is you pick your
25:36 and on the day of class we not meet you. That's just the
25:39 you take the, take the All right, before you go and
25:43 that exam, you need to go one of the and do your digital
25:48 . All right. That's your digital . That's how they look at your
25:51 . They make you do your biometric that's how they know that. It's
25:56 you right. And then you just your exam, you just go and
25:59 down. Why? It sucks. a big giant space. Very
26:02 Bunch of proctors walking around making you nervous, you know, humming computers
26:07 the fluorescent lights, you know, environment. A lot of fun.
26:11 right. Um But anyway, so need to make sure you go to
26:15 website first register and then in, I said, in a week's
26:19 I'll make the announcement, uh, weeks before the exam. So,
26:24 , what is that? August I guess, um, I
26:28 uh, say, hey, make sure you sign up and then
26:32 will get you hopefully used to the of signing up on time. All
26:36 . Now, the other thing I'd out is so we do have four
26:38 , but none of my tests are . These are the sciences, knowledge
26:43 cumulative, right? It's kind of math, right? You can't take
26:47 unless you learn how to do algebra , right? It's kind of the
26:52 thing. I'm not gonna ask you question in unit four from unit
26:56 But if you didn't understand unit unit four is gonna be a lot
26:59 . So if that makes sense. right. So you only have to
27:03 the unit we're working on. That's I'm trying to get at questions about
27:10 . All right. Should be All right. Now, this is
27:13 for me because canvas. No. right. So this is how I
27:19 up canvas on the front page. is what you should have seen,
27:22 ? So you see, we have uh six little blocks. You should
27:25 you anywhere. You need to go from the menu over on the left
27:28 , which is pretty sparse. All . So this is uh if you
27:32 looked through that yet that just tells everything you need to know about the
27:35 , right? What you need so and so forth. The syllabus is
27:38 your syllabus. There's a paper but this is basically the same
27:41 Plus all the stuff the university wanted to throw in there as well.
27:44 it tells you everything you need to , plus stuff from the getting started
27:47 . So if you need to, , read through that, the key
27:51 , there is the dates of everything what, what needs to be
27:55 Uh This is where you're gonna be most of your time. This is
27:57 you get to your actual assignment. you go to the modules, just
28:00 your assignment as you're moving through. right, this is where you also
28:03 your slides. Um Then this some questions um about the course. Should
28:11 need them? Uh This, if don't go read the student handbook,
28:15 are where all the other information So that should be pretty straightforward.
28:19 then if you're ever looking for my hours or contact information, that's the
28:23 button to push. Um So there's what your le week will look
28:28 All right, you're gonna have a of professors over the course of your
28:31 thinking that their class is the most class that you've ever, they've ever
28:35 you ever take, right? You that. Yeah, not here.
28:40 . That's not. I know you other classes. My class is equally
28:44 important as all the other classes and versa. I'm not gonna make you
28:48 . I don't think that you live a bubble of a MP. That's
28:51 not true. All right. But do have an expectation and that expectation
28:56 consistent aro or should be consistent across university. You notice how you're taking
29:00 three hour class meets basically for three for every hour you take the,
29:06 , the idea behind that is that three hours of, out of,
29:10 of, outside of class time that spending on it. No one ever
29:13 that except for like the worst evil of the planet, right? But
29:17 the premise. That's why you have big gaps during your, your day
29:21 the premise is, is, you're spending an hour in the
29:24 but you're also spending three hours studying each of those hours. All
29:30 So, with that in mind, kind of gives you a sense of
29:33 it kind of looks like, what week looks like. Now notice the
29:36 aren't, I'm not expecting you to that much time just showing you how
29:38 assignments work. So you can like here's our lecture. Today's Tuesday
29:42 , 8 30 to 10, your opens up, it closes on Thursday
29:46 8 30. 0, look, I have a connect assign. That's
29:49 homework. It opens up at It closes at midnight. Oh,
29:52 have another that, that review where , uh, I'm doing a homework
29:57 . That's a review. It goes the way till the test and then
30:00 just pattern repeats Tue Tuesday, There's your Tuesday again and you just
30:06 that pattern over and over again. it's a, it's a pattern that
30:09 can recognize and see and you could kind of incorporate it into your
30:13 It's just OK. I know I'm read. I know I'm gonna do
30:16 . I know I'm gonna come to . I know I'm gonna read.
30:18 know I'm gonna do homework. I I'm gonna come to class. I'm
30:20 gonna over and over again. All . How long it takes you to
30:24 the homework is dependent upon how much you put into it. If you
30:27 a person who gets distracted by cute like butterflies. All right. It's
30:31 take you longer if you can sit and you're disciplined to sit down for
30:34 minutes, you can get your homework quick. All right. I'm distracted
30:38 butterflies kind of guy. So you tell I'm distracted by butterflies because I
30:48 up my thing to take a drink I've walked around with it for
30:50 four minutes without touching it. All , we do have extra credit in
31:00 . All right. Now, I'll the first person. Oh, not
31:04 first person. I'll tell you this now. I don't do anything in
31:07 class for the purposes of busy work make you jump through hoops. I
31:11 that when I was a student. I'm not gonna make you do it
31:14 . So when I give you homework , there's a reason for the homework
31:18 , right? If I tell you study something, it's for a
31:21 All right, same thing for the credit. Extra credit is not just
31:24 to give you guys points because I bad for you guys. All
31:27 the extra credit is there to help analyze your own performance. All
31:32 One of the things I learned uh after about five years of teaching is
31:36 most students look at their grades, get really upset and then they move
31:39 , right? They don't ever ask question. How did I get the
31:42 or why did I get the And that's what these, these extra
31:45 are. They're just meta analysis. like, hey, right before the
31:48 , I want you to ask am I prepared to take the
31:51 Right? That's, it's like a minute survey survey. I think it's
31:55 really, it's a three minute right? But it asks you some
31:57 simple questions. Did you study? you do blah, blah,
31:59 blah, blah, and you answer as best you can. I don't
32:02 look at your answers. I just you to do the assignment,
32:05 And then after you take the test you get your score and then you're
32:08 , feeling depressed and sad and, know, throw that aside and then
32:12 the question. Ok. Well, had this expectation. I was gonna
32:15 blank. Now, now that I've my grade, let me go back
32:20 analyze what I did. Did I this? Right. Did I study
32:24 ? Did I do blah, blah. And then you answer it
32:25 truthfully as you can and it helps analyze yourself to see. Ok,
32:29 do I make improvements? Because if keep doing the same thing over and
32:32 again, you expect change new, ? So that's the purpose of
32:37 And so before the exam you do , it's 2, uh, 2.5
32:41 . Basically, it's 2.5 points on test. It comes up to,
32:44 , I can't remember the exact Um, each of them is worth
32:48 half a point for your final All right. So you could do
32:52 all. It basically raises you up , uh, uh, a letter
32:56 or like from a plus to or from a solid to a plus
32:59 a minus to a, a All right. So you do those
33:03 when they open up six, a PM the night before the exam,
33:08 ? Why? Because that's when you be kind of like, oh,
33:10 kind of know how I'm ready to and then they close before the
33:16 All right. And then the next , it opens up after the
33:19 usually about a week afterwards. So lets you get the emotion out of
33:22 system, right? And then they'll up like a week later. So
33:27 gives you a little bit of time , to catch up on that.
33:30 right. So this is a form will need to log in through your
33:35 account to do that. But there's a link uh on on canvas
33:39 make that happen. Um There are extensions on the extra credit. Last
33:47 is how your grades are calculated. not the last thing for the
33:50 but last thing here. Uh So your top hat, that's your
33:54 That's that uh kind of that learning , open ended question type homework.
33:59 10% of your grade to connect, are more of those practice type
34:03 That's uh 10% of your grade and the four tests together, it's 80%
34:06 your grade. So each one of is about 20%. That's how you
34:11 figure out your own grade. You have to do any like really complicated
34:15 . If you want to see what looks like, this is what it
34:18 like. So take your exam take your top half percentiles, your
34:23 percentiles, um multiply them all up that's how it works out if you
34:27 to throw your extra credit in there can. Now I'm gonna get down
34:33 this real quick with regard to the credit. I don't do the extra
34:38 at the day of the exam. do the extra credit after I've calculated
34:40 final grades and then I throw the credit on top. So what I
34:44 is I determine what everyone's gonna get then you get your bonus. It's
34:49 of nice. All right. Some over in class maybe don't know how
34:56 works. And usually what they'll do they'll give you extra credit and they'll
35:00 calculate it in your grades. oh, you get five points,
35:02 you're calculating out of 1000 points and your five extra points and all of
35:06 sudden, instead of your grade being of 1000 points, it's actually out
35:09 1000 and five, it's not really credit. If you go and look
35:12 how that math actually works. Extra should be given after you've earned your
35:17 and that's what we're doing here. just as an example, let's say
35:21 earned ac, you know, everyone , just hold, just calm
35:25 pretend you earn ac but you did your extra credit after I figure out
35:30 seed, then I throw in your points and then you have now ac
35:35 , does it make sense or I'll make you happy. You're in
35:37 B plus. All right. And get your bonus points, recalculate out
35:41 you end up with as an A . You see. So that's how
35:45 works up there. You see, uh a couple of questions. Is
35:49 a curve? All right. This science classes. You'll usually see curves
35:53 science classes. I've never taught this without a curve without a curve.
35:59 So that's 17 years almost every So that's a lot. It is
36:05 Now I'm gonna say this once. everyone hear it. And so we
36:10 a goal every year. I've offered . If everyone gets an a in
36:14 class, we're having a and the you guys or the older I get
36:20 the younger you gotta get, the that word means anything, we're gonna
36:24 a party. OK? A means buy kegs of beer. Now,
36:31 know you guys are young or you know that we won't violate any new
36:38 , but we're gonna have a party years. I've made this offer.
36:41 have money set aside specifically to throw thing. Never been able to give
36:47 party. Can we give the I really want the party. It
36:52 be awesome. All right. I know I say this knowing that
36:58 material is difficult, that it is . All right, it's, it's
37:02 first step you want. If you to go into this profession, into
37:06 profession that you guys are choosing you're gonna have to work for
37:09 No one's gonna give you anything. mean, it's, if I wanna
37:14 honest, I want you to reach goals. Every one of you,
37:17 goal is for you to reach your . But I can't drop a standard
37:21 make that happen. Like I you don't want somebody who doesn't know
37:25 material working on you. So I you to be that person that goes
37:30 your nursing programs, goes into optometry , prepared to learn the stuff you
37:35 to do so that you can take of me when I'm old and I'm
37:38 a lot closer. So I, really do want that for you right
37:44 in saying that also. Um you , I'm not gonna try to get
37:47 your way. I'm, I'm, you have questions, if you need
37:50 , I'm here to help you achieve goals. That's why they pay me
37:54 , right? But materials is dense times. So don't be, don't
38:01 . Oh I don't understand it. , OK, I can understand
38:04 I just need to get out of head and uh start doing the
38:08 Um The way I do curves here what is called normal distribution. That's
38:12 a statistical term for those of you statistics. You know what I'm talking
38:16 ? It's that bell curve. All . I don't take the highest
38:19 let's say the highest grade in 0, everyone gets extra four
38:21 That, that, that just makes feel good because your points just went
38:25 right. You know, I could you on 1000 point scale.
38:29 look, let's give everyone 360 You know, that doesn't change everyone's
38:33 . What a normalized distribution does? basically does a statistical calculation says where
38:38 the average? And then using that , can I determine where the B
38:43 ? Can I determine where an A ? Can I determine where the other
38:46 grades are as well? And that's , how we figure it out.
38:50 some of you are not used to and so you'll see numbers that you
38:54 not like in this class. All . So for example, I shoot
38:59 an average on this exam on every for an average of a 65 and
39:04 that makes your heart stop, don't about it. It's the number doesn't
39:07 . I could say I'm shooting for score of 3 million, right?
39:12 the test was worth 5 million, it's, it's, it's a,
39:16 a random number. We just like use 100 as a perfect score.
39:21 shoot 4 65 because it tells me you guys fall on the top ends
39:26 on the bottom, I don't have bumping into those hundreds. All
39:30 So what you have to do is have to kind of keep in mind
39:32 is the average, how am I against the average, what's going on
39:37 the average? Am I better than average? Am I in the average
39:39 am I worse than the average? you're worse than the average, you
39:42 yourself up. If you're better than average, you can stay there and
39:44 you're in the average, you can forward. All right. And we'll
39:47 over every, after every exam, will go over this. We will
39:50 , this is how you guys I'll show you the curve. Everyone
39:54 and you're crying and don't worry about . Don't panic about the numbers.
39:58 job is not to worry about numbers grades. Whose job is that
40:03 Thank you. It's my job. job is to learn the material.
40:06 learn the material. No one has worry about grades at all. Isn't
40:10 cool? Yeah. See, we have responsibilities. All right. So
40:15 that. All right. So I'm stop here for a second. I
40:19 put this slide up here to let know we have more time. We
40:22 more things we're gonna talk about All right, because I'm gonna,
40:24 I said, my goal is to you achieve your goals. If you
40:27 don't have to stand over there, lots of space in there. You
40:30 , who wants to stand for an and 15 minutes. Yeah.
40:36 Um, any questions about what I've about so far was that confusing was
40:43 Yeah. Yes, ma'am. so you should be able to click
40:49 the assignment when it becomes open when becomes available. So, like,
40:52 don't think there's anything available right now nothing opens until 10 o'clock.
40:57 So, your first assignments won't be until 10 or you, I think
41:00 might be able to see if you to modules and you see it.
41:02 can probably, if it's there, can click on it. It'll say
41:05 not available for you right now and it'll make you feel silly anyone
41:12 Yeah. Now I look, I that many of you. This is
41:15 first time in college and this is . Right? Because I've been doing
41:19 for so long. I'm almost you know, just, you
41:22 cruise control. But if you have don't be afraid to ask, I
41:27 , whether it's about the class itself whether it's about the material in the
41:31 . If you have a question about , I'm talking about like teaching and
41:35 like, I don't get this Put your hand up, I guarantee
41:38 half the other, half the classes they're doing the same thing. The
41:41 thing you can do to yourself is , hey, um, I'll figure
41:44 out later, right? Because if not clear, if I'm not doing
41:48 job of explaining something to you, , then it's gonna be a long
41:53 , right? Like I said my can turn off sometimes and I can
41:56 start talking. So. Yes. . All right. So, so
42:04 all the same stuff, right? mean, ultimately, the material is
42:08 same thing, but the way that can think about it is that the
42:10 is going to prepare you for the , the homework in connect kind of
42:14 check to see. Did you understand stuff that we talked about? So
42:18 , they're kind of working back to we're dealing with here. So I'm
42:22 gonna pretend like everything. All So one of the questions that I
42:26 that one, some of you guys gonna ask a little bit later,
42:29 are the tests? Like, what I need to know for the
42:31 Because that's usually how students think is important for the test. All
42:35 when I talk in class, what trying to point pull out is the
42:38 important information for you to move right? Because the text books can
42:42 like, they, they want to everything they want to tell you like
42:46 should know all this stuff. You need to know all that stuff.
42:50 the purpose of the classroom is really of come and tell you, this
42:53 the stuff that's really important, this stuff you're gonna be tested on.
42:56 I've tried to design the homework using question that they've written that point back
43:00 what I've talked about in class. it goes to the textbook.
43:04 you know, and they, like said, sometimes there's days I go
43:09 on tangents. All right. But idea is that everything should be focused
43:12 , on what I talk about in , what's on the slides because that's
43:15 important stuff. Yeah. Yes. technically, yes. So there's a
43:22 before class. All right. So gonna just clarify reading before class is
43:26 . Number one, right? It questions in it which are like eight
43:30 . There's not a lot. All . Come to class, then there's
43:33 homework after class that's not due until day before the test. That's the
43:38 objective. These are like, did get what we were trying to talk
43:41 ? Right. Do you understand what trying to learn? Because that's the
43:45 part. If you don't know what trying to learn, there's no amount
43:47 studying you're gonna get or do, gonna help you do well in the
43:51 , right? If you're taking a and you're walking out and going,
43:54 have no idea what this class is . And I've taken those classes,
43:58 know, trust me, I'll tell the stories as we're going along.
44:02 ? That's, that's that purpose. it basically is like, did you
44:05 learning objectives? This will help you , it'll help you create your notes
44:07 help you focused in the third Is this the practice right. You
44:12 this, what's the answer? Like let's say you learn, what
44:16 the color of the sky? What the color of the sky blue?
44:20 see, I see faces that I , right? Blue. So
44:24 it's like it's a multiple choice What color is the sky? How
44:26 learned it was blue. Oh there's the answer blue and it's just
44:29 to see if you're paying attention. are due the day after class.
44:33 right. So the idea is there's pattern and we're going to describe this
44:38 pattern in a little bit more detail that you can understand why we do
44:42 . All right. So doing you should know why. Yes
44:49 No, it's just the first And then once you registered for CASA
44:52 the university, you never have to it again. It's just that if
44:57 never done it before, that's the time I think so. But you
45:01 to do that biometric where you have go in and you want to do
45:04 the day before the test because they're trying to get people in to take
45:07 exam. So like if you're, know, walking across campus, like
45:11 you're over here at the, the student center, you're like,
45:14 I gotta go do this. I'll walk up there and can I do
45:17 biometric right there? They, they'll let you just do it.
45:20 my understanding people who've done, Is that true? Ok. I
45:24 . I'm seeing heads. Not. , sir. I don't know what
45:32 schedule is like. Um, no, for so, like the
45:36 that you're gonna do for our So, and I don't know if
45:38 understood your question correctly. So, if I didn't, if I'm not
45:41 correctly, the, we, we have the exam on one day but
45:45 they're open, I, I don't what their days that they're actually
45:50 Right? But so for us, exams will either be on a Tuesday
45:54 , or be on a Thursday depending what those four dates are.
45:59 Yes. No, no. If , all right. So this is
46:06 C A question more or less. if you, I mean, if
46:09 opted, I mean, if you out of C A, you have
46:11 purchase stuff. But if you just to the university and said yes,
46:14 my money. Uh You, you've in automatically there. This is the
46:18 , oh, this, that's the thing. This is the first semester
46:20 doing all inclusive textbooks. So you're to people who are nubs as
46:27 but you should have direct access unless said specifically, I do not want
46:32 pay for my textbooks. Uh I want to pay for each one
46:37 . That's the opting out option. I said, you may not see
46:41 available right now. You'll have to till 10 a.m. to see. You
46:45 , if you click on it. . Ok. I don't think you
46:52 to make one or it, it prompt you to have to make an
46:56 . So by purchase, by just this class, it's giving you the
47:00 things, you need the one to the account and have an account.
47:03 your grades are recorded and it gives access to the textbook. It will
47:07 that every semester, but your account be there. You just need to
47:11 in if you've ever taken a class top, I'm sure your account is
47:14 there. You just need to kind sign in. But again, you're
47:19 a person basing basing it off of , not on how CTAP is working
47:24 now. It could be very different which case, I'll just email
47:28 If it's not working, please. emails would kill me. You
47:32 if so if you're figuring this out like a Wednesday evening, trust
47:37 Someone's already emailed me, sir. . So that that link. So
47:43 if you click on modules right is is people looking at modules?
47:47 you see assignments there already? So you see that first top had
47:52 , it says reading that should take directly into the reading assignment. And
47:58 said should because that's how I set up. The student view said that's
48:04 it looked like to me. But not the student. So you never
48:12 any others. I see two back . We'll go there and then
48:15 So. Yes, sir or No, we do not be on
48:20 of exam because we will have people are scheduling an exam during our lecture
48:25 because they're going to tap the hour after they take the exam.
48:29 ma'am. Yeah. Right. all right. So if you're doing
48:45 , it's going to have a score signed. If you open it up
48:48 do like two problems out of 50 gonna get whatever that is right.
48:52 a 4% right. But what I'm is that let's say you, you
48:57 down and start doing your homework and all your friends distract you and make
48:59 want to go out and play and you come back home. It's
49:01 oh, I gotta still do my assignment allow you to keep doing it
49:06 many times as you need to. other words, if you interrupt
49:08 your performance and you don't get the that you want by completing, you
49:13 keep going back until you get your score. That's the idea. In
49:16 words, it does not, if not limited to one shot is what
49:20 trying to get at, you're Yeah. Whatever your score is at
49:26 due date, that's the score you . Yeah. Yes. No,
49:35 , no. So it's they, fact the only thing you want to
49:37 up there with is your ID don't anything. Well, you know,
49:40 purse, I guess all you need if, if you take a pen
49:46 paper they don't want you to bring in. Am I right?
49:51 Is that right? I mean, have to turn in your material.
49:54 have cubbies and stuff like that. , yeah, it's, it's,
49:57 kind of a test jail. Read a pencil. They don't
50:05 oh man paper at least. So if you need pay, I
50:10 know if you're gonna need a I honestly, there is a way
50:13 , to, I'm gonna talk about and then to take an exam.
50:17 to help you go through and answer on a multiple choice exam would be
50:24 . So, looking for any other . Oh, all right. All
50:31 . Ready for your life advice. right. What I'm gonna teach you
50:36 . I get the phone here and how much time I have because,
50:43 , like I said, I, got, I gotta go quit.
50:46 , and I tell stories. I go off and tell stories here.
50:49 right. What I'm gonna teach you can be applied to any class that
50:52 take. Um, and the truth is that the reason I give this
50:57 of the lecture instead of just start right now is because I found 30%
51:02 50% of my office. Actually, was even more than that. About
51:04 of my office hours, um, spent teaching students how to study because
51:08 didn't get the grade they wanted on tests. So I figured might as
51:11 tell y'all what to do while you're fresh and you, you all have
51:15 attitude right now. Oh, first of school, you know, this
51:18 gonna, this year is gonna be for it. I'm gonna do things
51:20 gonna do. I'm gonna do. . I mean, is that,
51:22 that how we all did? We up? Yeah, there's gonna
51:24 I'm not gonna do all the dumb I used to do and then we
51:27 with those bad habits. So, I wanna do is I wanna show
51:30 , I wanna tell you how to right now. I think I have
51:34 authority in telling you this and the I think I have authority to school
51:37 much. I stayed. Right. mean, II, I,
51:41 and, and truthfully I was not good student. I'm a smart
51:45 but I was a terrible student. the type of students you hated all
51:49 faculty hated me because I never right. My parents, I drove
51:54 , I went to the two Um, so I spent a ridiculous
51:57 of money to just buy. And I drove everyone bonkers because I
52:02 go in and, and take a and get like a B plus and
52:05 happy about it. My parents were , why can't you get a
52:08 my parents were gunners and I'm I can get a B plus.
52:11 don't have to work, you killed them. Right. And so
52:15 kind of how my attitude was in . And then I went to graduate
52:20 on the very first day of graduate , a chemistry class. You
52:24 actually I taught for three years as high school teacher and then I went
52:27 graduate school and I'm like, all , I can do, you
52:31 keep doing what I've been doing and teacher walks in literally with a cup
52:35 coffee. No, no, no. Just a, so you're
52:41 be lecturing off the top of his . I can't do that. All
52:46 . And then behind him came the A and they came wheeling in with
52:49 stacks of papers and that's like, right, you know, this is
52:52 be everything you need to know for class because they didn't give you
52:55 It was just, this is what reading and they're starting to pass out
52:58 stacks and I'm not kidding. They're six and eight inches high.
53:00 this is not an exaggeration and they passing them out and we're like,
53:04 right, this is what we got know for the, for the semester
53:07 they're like, all right, this what you need to know for the
53:08 test. I'm just like, crap, I can't fake this.
53:13 . And so what I realized is the, my habits of studying,
53:17 were nonexistent. I had to fall on the things that people had always
53:22 me about studying and, and just that. All right. And so
53:26 of you have been told over the of your life in order to be
53:29 in school, you have to work hard. Have you ever heard that
53:32 ? You gotta work hard. That's lie. You don't have to work
53:35 . All right, you have to consistently is what you have to
53:40 You have to put effort in, ? But you don't have to work
53:44 . You don't have to spend 78 studying a night in order to be
53:48 . So that should be good news many of you. And that's not
53:50 suggestion here is this is not an hour class, do not study eight
53:54 for this class, right? The picture, the big thing. And
53:59 is why the way this class is is that the most important thing about
54:03 is that you have to be a time manager. All right, you
54:07 to be able to organize information so you can understand it. Those are
54:11 two secrets to learning organization and managing . All right. Now, what
54:16 I mean, managing time up there the top left, that graph is
54:21 the Ebbing House forgetfulness curve. This was studying memory and how he learned
54:27 . This is like in the 18 . This is old and what he
54:31 is that information goes in and unless process that information, it disappears very
54:37 . All right. And this is made up curve. This is just
54:39 example curve, right? But it you, it's like, oh,
54:42 I give you a piece of information 20 minutes, you might remember 60%
54:45 it. So you can think of a 10 digit number. If I
54:48 you a digit number and said you to know this number, you'd be
54:51 , ok, I got it. then like in 20 minutes, I
54:53 , what's the number you'd be well, it has a seven and
54:56 and a six and I know there like a 391, but you wouldn't
55:00 the whole thing and then look in 30 days, right? You'd remember
55:06 20% of it. Yeah, there a seven in it, you
55:09 Ok. Well, that doesn't do any good if I'm trying to hold
55:13 information and use that information. think about when a test is relative
55:18 when you learned it, right? first test is in three weeks.
55:23 roughly 21 days, right? And gonna listen to our first lecture and
55:28 gonna be all this information, you'll like I did. Yeah, I'm
55:30 my anatomy and physiology. And then three weeks following that, you're gonna
55:35 asked, recall that information. And first time you looked at it was
55:40 , but you hadn't looked at it that first day. So you've lost
55:45 an example, 80% of that Now you have to teach yourself 80%
55:51 the information that you had already previously . And this is why studying sucks
55:59 studying means I have to be my teacher. And not only do I
56:03 to teach that first lecture, but have to teach myself the second lecture
56:06 the third lecture and the fourth lecture the fifth lecture and the sixth
56:11 That's not fun, right? And gotta do this for every one of
56:15 classes. And you mean if I a class, I didn't even get
56:18 learn the information. So I have teach myself 100% of the information.
56:22 , that sucks. Now, so Ebbing House discovered was that if you
56:29 the forgetfulness process, that the curve a slope. In other words,
56:36 rate at which I forget things slows . And so as long as I
56:40 interrupting that slope, I don't have , I won't forget as much
56:44 I'll actually hold on to more. it means I don't have to review
56:47 as much. All right. So reason we read the day before class
56:53 because it exposes us to information for very first time and then we quickly
56:58 it. But we come to class next day and it brings us right
57:01 up to 100% of the information in . And then we kind of are
57:07 to forget by the end of the , we're starting to forget information,
57:09 we sit down, we do our and it brings us right back up
57:12 . And what we've done is we've maintained and held on information for a
57:18 period of time because of that So that's why we do the
57:23 We do. All right. And that's what this is trying to show
57:27 . So when we study, we're to first come to class and read
57:31 book. Not because I'm mean, can be mean, but not because
57:36 mean, because it's gonna be helpful you. I'm gonna go to class
57:41 it's gonna be helpful to me and I do the homework after class.
57:44 because I want to torture you. I love watching students stress on
57:48 No, I want you to do so that when it comes time to
57:51 , you're not spending so much time . If I told you you could
57:57 good grades by working less, And learning more. Which is my
58:03 . Wouldn't you want to do Yeah, because your job you
58:07 you're like, I want good grades no one wants to work for
58:11 Isn't that this is like trifecta Right. It's less effort,
58:16 less effort. All right. It feels because you're always doing stuff right
58:21 . The other thing is, is most students just don't know what to
58:25 . They either gonna study or they're over study. And it's like,
58:28 do I know what I'm supposed to ? Well, if you know what
58:30 trying to learn, then it's not be difficult for you to try to
58:34 . Now, I'm gonna bring like I said, you, I
58:36 like, 30 minutes, you Right. I'm, I'm like,
58:38 out of time last night. Both kids, they, I have,
58:41 have two sets of twins. I'm gonna put that out in the
58:43 I got two sets of twins. . Got juniors in high school and
58:48 got seventh graders, the juniors right . I don't know what class you're
58:51 , but the professor is assigning You gotta write notes. So I
58:55 to do like, 20 pages of . I'm like, well, what's
58:58 on? What's on this? Ok. Well, how are you
59:03 your notes? What is the purpose the notes? I don't know.
59:06 just gotta do 20 pages of Now, when you're an educator that
59:10 kills you every, every time I to them about their classes, I'm
59:13 like, right. But they don't why they don't know. I
59:17 well, are you organizing the Are you looking for? What you're
59:20 to say? No, I'm just to get the 20 pages of the
59:22 done, right? We're not studying because I said you gotta study,
59:26 there is an objective, you're trying learn every day in class. I'm
59:29 come in here and I'm gonna say we're gonna learn blah, blah,
59:32 . When you walk out of you should ask the question yourself.
59:34 I learn blah, blah, Right. So you should be able
59:38 identify what are the things that I'm to learn in the class. And
59:42 once you know what you're trying to , then it narrows your focus down
59:46 that you're not spending too little time missing out on the stuff that you
59:49 be learning. And at the same it's not like, well, I've
59:52 the whole book I got to So, you know, you're studying
59:54 and getting distracted and frustrated because there's so much right? Understanding your goals
60:01 the other half. So don't over and don't understudy. All right,
60:05 we're trying to do is we're just to understand the topics that I say
60:08 important for every class. Well, me put this, we have 50
60:12 on the test. We have six between each test. How many questions
60:17 you think comes from each class? is an algebra question 50 divided by
60:25 is eight, right? Eight point , right? So, roughly
60:31 All right. So if there are questions per class, how many learning
60:36 do you think there are per Eight? It's a rough number,
60:41 ? It could be 10. Might nine. Might be six. All
60:44 . You never know. All there's gonna be a little bit of
60:47 , but that tells you, you , have to man. All the
60:50 came from that lecture. Nope, didn't, those were just the ones
60:53 struggled with because you didn't learn. so they stood out to you.
60:56 right. So the idea here is if I know what I'm trying to
61:00 , I'm gonna know my learning If I know my learning objects,
61:03 know what to study. I know questions I'm gonna see on the
61:05 Now, this is true for every . If you have a professor who
61:09 how to write an exam and knows to test you. I know that's
61:12 guaranteed. But for the most that's what you're gonna see.
61:16 So when you're taking your notes in , what you wanna do is you
61:21 to not just read the slides I you, you wanna take your own
61:26 based upon what the lecture is Having the slides there will help
61:30 you can actually write on the slides say this is important. This is
61:33 blah, blah. Right? But not my stenographer. These notes that
61:37 giving you. These slides are notes me to remind me what it is
61:40 I'm talking about. I am not professor in biochemistry with a coffee
61:44 I have very specific things I want talk about while he did too and
61:47 was all stored in his brain. was, I need my slides.
61:53 my slide help me to understand what is. I need to remind myself
61:56 tell you, but they're not written you. So you don't necessarily understand
61:59 . If you're listening and paying attention me and writing your own notes,
62:02 what you're doing is you're creating your note set and this is what's going
62:06 help you study, use your own . I'm going to say this now
62:09 say it again, reading your slides reading the slides I gave you is
62:12 sure fire away to earn just ac the class. Now, if you
62:15 that and you get ac don't be . C is not a bad
62:19 but you can do better. What want to do is you want to
62:22 the topics, right? So as say, I'm going to in the
62:25 and say, hey, today we're about this. All right, and
62:28 like, all right, great. what you're gonna do is you're gonna
62:30 along and you're gonna take notes and for the transitions here's an idea,
62:34 a new idea, they're kind of . There are actually two different
62:37 Those are the topics and down underneath , that's where you're gonna see the
62:42 , the details, the information relating that topic and what you're doing now
62:47 you're trying to clarify and find the that are interesting to help you understand
62:52 topic above it. So for if I'm talking about the digestive
62:56 which we're not talking about, and say, hey, let's start talking
62:59 the mouth and hear all the details the mouth. You here's, that's
63:02 number one, right? And all details are the subtopics and the information
63:05 need to know. Oh, and here's the esophagus. You're like,
63:09 , wait a second, we're talking the mouth. Now we're talking about
63:11 esophagus. This must be topic number . And then you just kind of
63:15 it along. You'll start seeing as going along. These topics start appearing
63:19 the learning objectives start appearing because they differentiated from each other. And what
63:24 doing is we're working down to the that help us understand what that topic
63:29 to do with for the most So I said one or two topics
63:35 , but you can kind of flip around. You can just think in
63:37 of those are your learning objectives right . Now, if you ever get
63:41 in this class, just ask yourself is the purpose of the class.
63:45 anatomy and physiology, it says on title. So, what are we
63:49 structures, anatomy, physiology, what do? So, if you're ever
63:53 , I don't know what's going So, what were the structures we
63:56 talking about? What were they That's all you gotta do.
63:59 it's just going to use big Doesn't mean that it has to be
64:03 . All right. All right. if a series or if the lecture
64:10 a series of learning objectives, identify and then learn the differences and the
64:14 , basically, what are the What are the facts? All
64:18 Sometimes I get lost. I don't . Facts are important. Look,
64:21 something has a different name, it's for a reason. Those are the
64:26 that you should be looking for, ? The esophagus in the mouth are
64:31 . They have different names. I it a mouth because it does.
64:36 choose. It's the big hole that put things in. All right.
64:39 right. What is the esophagus for ? There you go. So
64:44 that's the simple answer. Obviously, going to go a little bit more
64:47 than that. But, but you the big picture, right? And
64:50 kind of what you're doing. It's , oh, ok, if it
64:52 a different name, it must have different function. Ergo, it's
64:57 So it's something that I'm trying to . All right, those questions that
65:02 gonna be getting the open ended ones you're gonna see, like listed on
65:06 patches, like the ones that go the test if you ever get
65:10 That's the other thing that will help because I'm basically saying, did you
65:13 this idea? I reckon this is to be a freshman level class.
65:17 not expected to just jump into the end of the pool. I'm kind
65:21 easing you in so that it makes simple for you. All right.
65:25 goal, like I said, is get you into your programs,
65:29 I want you to be the successful . I don't care about the students
65:32 A and M I don't care about students at UT. I want them
65:36 fall behind the Cougar Red. All . All right. And if
65:42 uh, if you're a post I'm sorry, my wife's an
65:45 I could care less. I, they're playing UT, you know,
65:49 that's, again, that's a sports , right? So my job,
65:53 tell this is, you know, Texas Medical Center is over there.
65:56 don't wanna paint the Texas Medical I want every one of you getting
65:59 your programs. I want everyone to around saying, look, this is
66:03 the best students come from. That's plan, right? So that's what
66:09 want you to start be thinking about how do I learn this information?
66:13 right. So like I said when taking notes, don't write everything that
66:16 see on the slide. You're not stenographer. What you're doing is you're
66:20 to organize information. It's just like to the grocery store. You don't
66:23 an essay before you go to the store of all the things that
66:25 you need to get. Right. gonna say I am in need of
66:29 of the particular varieties of the You know, you just put
66:33 you know what type of cheese you . Unless you have some sort of
66:35 , you're following it and it's like of the norm and then you start
66:38 a little bit more detail. That's you do notes, notes are reminders
66:42 things I need to learn, So write the stuff that's important.
66:47 the topics you ever done this to textbook? No, if you
66:53 there are some people, yeah, you need a coloring book, there
66:55 anatomy and physio, there are coloring books. I mean, I
66:58 recommend them because they're distractions, but kind of fun too if you need
67:03 to color, right? So condense so that it's manageable and so that
67:09 understand it, your notes are for , not for anybody else. You
67:13 need to be pretty. I know of you are like the seven
67:16 you know, notes, you you have to be nice and
67:19 That's great. I like to, write in chicken scratch just because I
67:23 go, go off and do other . Um So explain things in your
67:30 language, in your own words, yourself. Understanding that you, the
67:34 that you explain things to yourself isn't gonna appear in an exam. So
67:38 find that when I teach, I I'm pretty approachable. I don't sit
67:43 and try to make the material right? I've tried to bring it
67:47 to you. So I'll explain things hopefully it will make sense to
67:50 But on a test, you still to know it as if you were
67:53 anatomist. And so there is kind a slight disconnect there. The the
67:57 the technical wording and stuff like that do need to know, but sometimes
68:01 helps to understand things like if I'm to describe the cardiovascular system using it
68:06 like traffic in Houston makes sense because like, yeah, we've been in
68:10 traffic. I understand how this Once everything's all clogged up, I
68:14 why that happens, right? Maybe the why, but I've experienced
68:18 So I know what it's like to in there, right? And so
68:21 examples like that might help you understand , oh this is like such and
68:26 , right? So don't be afraid use examples. I would also say
68:31 you're taking notes, use abbreviations and pictures as much as you can.
68:35 lot of people are afraid to draw they're like, well, I'm not
68:37 artist. Well, guess what? people aren't artists, right? They
68:43 draw a stick figure. I, mean, if that's really me,
68:45 stick figures, right? I'm gonna you here an example. If I
68:49 run out of time, how how I do this. All
68:52 It doesn't have to be this crazy stuff. Although if you're like doing
68:56 and you're explaining yourself and you're drawing out and labeling things and it turns
69:00 something that looks like that. That's because what you're doing is you're going
69:03 a process of self teaching. There's wrong with that. All right.
69:08 what you're not doing is like, , here's a picture of the
69:10 I need to draw all the parts the heart and label everything. Only
69:13 the stuff that you need to That's the key thing. This one
69:19 make a lot of sense to anyone . This is really sad. This
69:22 what college used to be like. right. So the thing about studying
69:27 that when we study, we tend be pretty unfocused. Um, what
69:33 tend to do is we sit down we'll start studying and then,
69:38 it's like I can't study in this . I need to clean it.
69:42 so you get up and you start the bedroom, right? And it
69:45 like 2030 minutes. You don't do Yeah, I'm all right. And
69:50 you sit down and start studying in another two minutes and I'm like,
69:52 , that bathroom clean that moved into apartment. So you go in there
69:56 a toothbrush, you behind the you know, it's like, all
70:00 now I'm filthy, so I have take a shower. Now I'm
70:05 So I go into the kitchen and I gotta clean up the kitchen because
70:08 made a mess in the kitchen and sit down, start setting again and
70:11 it's like, uh, social I've been studying for four hours.
70:17 hope you haven't unfocused. Study. right. And what I'm telling you
70:21 if you're gonna sit down and study , if you're gonna, if you're
70:24 play, go play or, you , don't, don't confuse the
70:29 All right. We like to lie ourselves because it makes us feel good
70:32 ourselves. Our egos are easily And so when you study, say
70:36 am going to study, all Set aside, I'm gonna study for
70:42 minutes. Get rid of every study for 20 minutes. And then
70:46 you want to get up and move and do stuff, ok. Now
70:48 gonna play when I was in, , grad school when I was that
70:52 , I was like, I'm gonna for 30 minutes and then I'm gonna
70:55 The Simpsons. All right, because was in syndication. That's what I
70:58 . All the time, you and what you do is if you
71:01 a band of time that says this my study time and you use that
71:05 you say I'm gonna be focused here I'm gonna study. It's just
71:08 if I'm gonna go work out, got my band of workout time.
71:12 what you do is you create that and all of a sudden now this
71:14 the time I'm gonna get everything All right, you're in good
71:18 You're gonna be, you're gonna see you become focused and you're gonna be
71:21 to get things done. But if become unfocused, you're gonna just be
71:25 around and you're gonna be lying to . You're gonna get the results of
71:27 around. If you're not gonna do it in a blend of
71:33 Right? And which is worse, a test because you cleaned the bathroom
71:39 night or because you took a road to Mexico, which is a better
71:46 to tell. Yeah, I, failed college because I took a road
71:50 to Mexico. That is a better . Crash and burn with glory.
71:55 with a whimper like, uh, . No. If you study
72:02 you can party. Well. All . Yeah. See, I'm not
72:08 pretend this is what college is fun . How bad am I?
72:11 I got no time left. All . Well, I wanna, I
72:15 just 0.1 thing out to you. right. I got two minutes.
72:20 right. Not this, it's All right. And, and
72:26 I record one of my lectures so have the same speech in every class
72:31 I've ever taught. And you can go back and look at the old
72:34 . But this is the most important . How many of you guys are
72:36 to death of taking tests? All . Good. Put your hands down
72:40 , easy tests are not meant to you. Tests. Only do one
72:44 they test whether or not you have knowledge that you learned in that
72:48 It doesn't say anything about you as person, it doesn't say anything about
72:51 about your abilities or anything else. tells you whether or not you study
72:54 material. All your exams from here out in this field are going to
72:58 multiple guests, multiple choice. There's way to approach this. If you've
73:03 learned this, this is the place need to learn it first up.
73:06 I'm shooting for an average of 65 means how many questions should be
73:12 About 65% of the question, Because I'm trying to get an
73:17 I want everyone to get up to point. All right. So if
73:21 average is around 65 that's what you're gonna go through the game,
73:23 to the first question, read just read the question come up with
73:26 answer. Don't read the answers The color of the sky is what
73:31 look through the answers. If you see blue, leave it alone.
73:34 to the next question. If you blue answer it, move on.
73:38 right, you'd go all the way the test. You go through the
73:40 , 50 questions. You'll be done 15 minutes. You may have only
73:44 30% of or 40 50% of the , but you should have been able
73:48 answer that right. If you then go to the first question you
73:51 the answer to. Now it's gonna a little bit more in depth.
73:54 color, the color of the sky what you said it was blue.
73:58 don't see blue. Do any of answers mean blue to me? All
74:02 , let's say it's give me a . That's too easy. All
74:09 whatever that was Cyan, you I heard Simon. I'm like,
74:12 not a color. Um So you , you're like, OK, this
74:15 Cyan and blue. Those are the thing. All the guys would miss
74:18 question because we don't know what but you'd go down and it's
74:21 all right. So I got this and then you just kind of keep
74:23 and you see how the questions get and difficult. Then you go back
74:26 . If you skipped it, you going back until you get down to
74:29 last two. And if you get the last question, you need to
74:31 a coin, that's fine. here's the thing that everyone's gonna miss
74:35 many you guys don't go back and your answers because you're afraid you're gonna
74:39 it. Right. Right. This what you do when you are checking
74:42 answers, read the question and just the answer you put down multiple choice
74:47 basically a true false question. If see the color of the sky is
74:50 you read your answer and it says , you know, you got it
74:53 . Right. But if you read color of the sky is orange,
74:57 be like that doesn't sound right. when you read all the answers,
75:01 brain says, look, I studied much and I need to find a
75:04 to put this answer because I didn't a place. And so I'm gonna
75:07 , oh orange has to be the answer here because I've, he was
75:11 he talked about sunsets and so where's sunset? This must be the
75:14 It's a trick question. And that's you did that. All right.
75:18 if you read the color of the is orange, you'd say that's
75:20 And then you go back and you go back through the answers. All
75:23 . So the idea here is read question, read your answer, you
75:26 quickly see whether or not you got right or wrong. All right
75:31 Thursday. I know I'm late. back here. We're gonna dive deep
75:35 the A MP. All right, welcome. Have a great day.
75:39 fun. Don't sweat it out too
