Introduce Yourself! Spring 2022

 

Tell the class the following

Where you are from

What you hope to learn in this class

What you find most interesting about Genetics.

If you have taken on-line classes (even if it was just in high school or in the second half of Spring Semester 2020  what has specifically helped you learn on line. What type of activities help you most? Reading? Videos? Interactive activities? Others?

Also list something that you think you can learn in this class that you can not learn simply by googling or by a you tube video.

Finally, Say something about yourself (some hobby or interest for example) without  actually naming the hobby or interest. This is like something that has been going around social media in which someone might say “Tell me you are from Michigan without telling me your are from Michigan” and someone else might respond “If someone asks me where I am from, I point at a place on my hand”. Note that there is a scientific reason to do this: You are giving evidence for something, rather than simply making a conclusion.

Put your answer as a reply.

Stem Cells and Cloning

Find a video or article on stems cells (including IPS cells) or cloning that you found interesting. Give the URL and a short (1 paragraph) summary of why you found the material interesting. Do use any reading or video that was in this week’s folder and make sure no previous poster use the same source.

 

Note: because of a time lag delay between when articles are posted and when I approve them, it is possible that 2 more people will use the same source. I will allow this exception to the above rule.
