[195-211] And then, he’ll also have journal discussions as well as case studies. So, journal discussion is literally, they’ll just be basically one scholarly article. From what I’ve done, it’s going to be somewhere between eight to 12 pages, basically. You’re going to want to skim through it. I take notes, specifically on the figures and graphs stuff because that’s what he likes to talk about. And basically, just analyze the scholarly article and the idea is to get more familiar. We’re going to finish up the writing in the future. I agree with him, it makes sense. I personally like those better than the lectures because, I can read it and analyze that much more easily than, try and watch 45 minutes lecture and completely understand, all this biology stuff and memorize all the […] Because, again, it’s still a lot of memorization. Like, types of lymphocytes and blood cells and all this type of stuff. And then there’s case studies, which is, basically just, he gives you a collection of somewhere like, four to seven or eight scholar […] Within a lecture, it would be scholarly articles. Some of it will probably be scholarly articles, some of it would be random stuff. And basically, you have to read them and then formulate an opinion based off of all the stuff that you read. And then, type it up actually in a one-page report and give your opinion on the situation and potentially how you think it should have been handled, basically.
[212-224] So I’ll say, for the most part, the one that we had to write, it had to do with ethics a little bit. Because, for instance, the one that I just had to write a couple of weeks ago was […] It was on breast implants. So basically, there was a whole problem with silicone as breast implants basically. Well, there was thought to be an initial problem because there was, basically, a couple of women that had issues or that ended up getting cancer and stuff along those lines. And they decided to say that it’s because of the silicone breast implants of which, the courts at time, seemed to disagree with them and let it go. And then, basically, later on, it comes out that, yeah, there’s actually no correlation after more studies were done. Da, da, da. Companies lost a lot of money because they got sued a bunch, stuff along those lines. So basically, I just had to read all that incompetence and basically give my opinion. So, again, those, I also personally like those more than the lectures as well. But, yeah. So that’s basically what we do in that class.
[229-238] He’ll basically set it up to where we either have […] That lecture that day will either be based on, either a lecture that he posted, it’ll be a general discussion or be a case study. And the way that he does the general discussion and the case study, he also still, does the thing on his phone where he randomly calls people to talk about. Because basically, his entire class is not him preaching to us at all. It’s literally only him having conversations with each of us individually, asking us questions. Again, I can see how it definitely helps. Like, if I get something wrong, obviously I’m going to remember it. Because I don’t want to get it wrong again, it does engrain a little bit because you get embarrassed and stuff and I get that. But, I don’t know. I’m not the biggest fan of it, but that is how he choose to do i
