Alex Kinney, I am taking this class to complete my associate in science: biology. What i find interesting about biology is plants and fungi. My area of expertise is in learning. I love to learn new things and be involved in the processes of learning.
Hello, My name is Diana Major. I am taking this class to satisfy some requirements for my Fisheries and Wildlife Degree at MSU. I completed it in high school, but the credits did not transfer to State. I love animals and how everything in the natural world is connected, so Ecology is more interesting to me, but Biology is more fundamental. My area of expertise is Disney, ha!
Susan Corner. I am taking this class as part of the environmental technology associates degree. I love being outside in nature and am politically active in environmental protection. My previous area of expertise has been nursing. I have worked in the area of pediatric and geriatric nursing for the past 10 years
Hi, my name is Krista Dickerson, and I am taking this class to have it transfer to MSU for my science degree in conservation biology. I find biology interesting because it is the bridge between all life and organisms and even to other science fields. My area of expertise is in writing, which complements my science classes.
Hello, my name is Brian Wilson. I am taking this course as a pre-req for my transfer to pharmacy school. What I find interesting about biology is how organisms live in different environments. My area of expertise is Licensed Pharmacy Technician.
Hi! My name is Chantal Tompkins. I am taking this class because I enjoy science and think it’s interesting. I’m also taking it somewhat as a prerequisite course because I’m considering going into the medical field. Science in general is interesting to me because it is related to everything in our world. I like learning about the tiny details of life and how everything works together. I have not completely decided on my area of expertise. I am considering attending either medical school or entering into a PA program. I know that I like interacting with people, am good at customer service, and I like to help people. I look forward to this class!
Hi i am Sadick Amir, i am taking this class because i like biology i am a biology major and that helps. biology is a subject that i can really relate to and i one of my best subjects.
Hello, My name is James St. Clair. I am taking this class because I am a premed student. I eventually plan on transferring to MSU and double majoring in human biology and neuroscience. The end goal is to become a surgeon like my uncle.
Biology has always fascinated me because it’s the study of life; something that continues interest me. Helping others live their lives is what I am passionate about. I worked as a medical assistant in my mothers medical practice for one year, and now I am planning on opening a small group home.
Jennifer Bray. This is literately the last class i need for my associates in Biology. I enjoy learning and discovering all the ways that life is connected from the tiniest of things to the largest. I wouldn’t say that I am qualified to say that there is an area that’s my expertise, however i do have a particular love for genetics.
Hello, my name is Sydney Hein. I am taking this course because it is a requirement to complete my premed/human bio degree. I find biology interesting because I am a very curious person. I am always wondering how life within organisms work and biology can help explain that to me. I would say that my area of expertise is in the anatomical pathology lab where I get to work with patient tissue to help the retrieve a diagnosis.
Hello, my name is Sarah Skinner and I’m taking this class as I not only enjoy biology but may incorporate a biological mechanical engineering major rather than just mechanical engineering due to my interests expanding beyond math and physics. I am interested in how things work (which is why I want to be an engineer!) and in the biological aspects I am interested in how the human system works and how it’s affected by day to day experiences in life. I am taking this class to help me better decide whether or not I want to go for a biological mechanical engineering degree or just a mechanical engineering degree.
Hello, my name is Krysten Trottier and I am taking this class to finish my requirements to apply to MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. I enjoy learning about Biology because I am fascinated with how things work. My area of expertise is in Animal Science, I enjoy learning about all of the different types of animals and all of their own special physiological processes.
Hello, my name is Cameron Lake. This class is a prerequisite for the biology degree I am going for at LCC. I find biology interesting because I am interested in learning more about how living organisms function. I plan to transfer to Michigan State to pursue a bachelors degree in fisheries management which would then be my area of expertise.
Greetings… My name is Jon McGeorge and I’m taking this course to complete an associates in Chemical Technology.
The pure sciences have always been appealing to me and I can see where a course in cell biology may be a good stepping stone for my future plans of a career shift.
As far as expertise?. Let’s just say I’m a jack of all trades and a master of none. Returning to college after about 15 years of mostly factory/production work was not an easy decision for me but, as the saying goes, nothing in life worth having comes easy…
Hi my name is Josh Ewart. I am taking this class because my major is Biology BS, it is part of my requirement for this degree. I find bacteria and viruses most interesting. I want to go into the medical field as a result of this. Science and math are my best subjects.
Hi! I am a student at Alma College, and I am taking BIOL 127 in order to continue with human phys. I am majoring in physics and taking human anat. and phys. classes to prepare for graduate school in biomedical engineering.
I find it fascinating that so many beings share so many organs and biological processes, despite the immense variety of beings that exist.
“Expertise” is a strong word at this point in my education, but I very much enjoy physics!
Hello! My name is Roderick MacNeil. I am a guest student here at LCC, I am taking this class to finish my Bachelor’s of Science degree from Alma College. I am a biology major and grew up in the woods of Northern Michigan – nature has always been very intriguing to me. My area of expertise would be macro biology more than micro but I find that expanding my horizons has its benefits.
Hi there! My name is Ellen Hardy, and I’m in my second year over here at LCC. I’m taking biology this semester because I am planning on becoming a biology major once I transfer to MSU, and eventually becoming pre-med. The thing I find most fascinating about biology is learning about the scientific basics of life. I don’t really have an area of expertise, but hopefully soon I’ll find it.
Hello, my name is Cassie Hartenburg. I am taking this class to fulfill my requirements for a degree in health science. I plan on transferring to Grand Valley to receive my degree in physical therapy. Although I enjoy Science classes I struggle with them more than other classes and I plan to use this course as a building block to the rest of my career. I guess I would say anatomy is my area of expertise, I have already received my certificate of massage therapy as well.
