This is the second part of my final "Reflections" post, which will be the reflection on the lab portion of the Histology course for this past semester.
My second favorite part of this class, the lab portion made the entire course complete. Without lab, I would not have entirely understood the material that was taught in lecture. I was able to look at slides that showed the many tissues and cells that I learned about in lecture. When I learn about something, if there is no picture or real-life example, I do not completely comprehend the concept.
Not just the observation of different slides, but doing the lab write-ups also helped. Looking at the functions of different tissues and cells and where they're found also helped me study for course in general, since it was like a review. It gave me another outlet to study for this class.
All in all, this course was a blessing, not just intellectually, but spiritually as well as I learned about the way God created me. I know that I am intricately designed. God really made all human beings wonderful creatures. This class just supported that idea even more.

Reflections #3
I am almost at the end of this semester, and therefore, this course. Histology was fun. It wasn't just fun, but it was a great learning experience. It taught me about cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in a completely different way.
The last two "Reflections" will be broken up into two ports: my reflection on the lecture and my reflection on the lab portion.
The lecture portion of this course was my favorite. It is unusual for an individual to enjoy the hands-off portion of a course more than the hands-on experience of a course. But I did, somehow. The amount of knowledge that entered my brain during the lecture portion was a lot, but I enjoyed what entered my brain. At times, my brain wanted more. Going through the different organ systems of the body helped. I was able to differentiate between the tissues found in one organ or organ system as opposed to another. The professor, Dr. V., taught the material in a way that was easy to understand, having a PowerPoint presentation with slides and diagrams for her students to put a picture to what they learned.
I hope those who take this course in the future will enjoy it as much as I did. I recommend this course to not just everyone pursuing medicine, but anything healthcare field that involves patient care.
