Welcome everyone to Ross University School of Medicine! First semester is tough, but hopefully this blog will help you begin to put the pieces pieces of the human body together and understand physiology. After each lecture I will be posting here to include a list of the questions you have asked via email pertaining to the previous lecture and my responses. The goal of this is to provide a common-location for you to go to with your physiology questions to obtain answers. Please feel free to comment on the post and ask more questions. If you have answers to previous questions, please additionally feel free to provide answers. I hope that this can become a place for each of us to help each other learn physiology and all else that first-semester medicine proves difficult!
Additional learning resources will be provided in the next post, stay tuned!
Does any one have any suggestions on what to get done to be more prepared for the first day of school? Such as, what to print, etc.....
ReplyDeleteMy guess has been to go to the schedule which is in the G-drive click on Archive Semester 1-4 then click on Copy of S1.Master.May.2012 that's where our schedule is then from there you should be able to click on the lectures on the schedule.
DeleteI wish I could field this one Chris, but I think that your classmates may be of more benefit...do any of you have any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteIf you like to write on paper, you may want to print off the lectures for that day, if you are more electronical you may want to simply take notes on your computer...it may be a bit of a process to determine precisely you want to proceed. However, thinking about it now will undoubtedly help you out in that you are trying to prepare!
Chris,
ReplyDeletePrint, or just read lectures from your computer (my personal preference) as Dr. J has suggested, whatever works for you. It's best to use the hyperlinked schedule as Jamie has mentioned. I would download the whole 1st. week's lectures since we have some time between now and Monday. The library has a decent collection if you need texts.
Dr. J
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you mentioned this already during orientation, but, did you say you have a list of required text book reading for the first semester?
I did not say, but I do not have any required text book readings. I do have supplemental readings that are listed in the notes section of the objectives slide of every lecture. These are for those of you who prefer to learn from textbooks to help supplement what I teach in the lecture. There are also youtube video links there as well for the same purpose. My exam questions, however, will come from the lecture material.
DeleteHi Dr. J,
ReplyDeleteYour quiz and thoughts for Membrane transport lecture is not opening - could you please fix that?
Stay tuned for the next post that will explain HOW to open articulate files appropriately :)
DeleteHello Dr. J,
ReplyDeleteI am confused about facilitated diffusion. On the channels/pores slides it states that these are forms of facilitated diffusion that use the same principles as simple diffusion (cannot be saturated), however on slide 22 it says that facilitated diffusion shares characteristics with carrier mediated transport and can be saturated. Could you please clarify?
