Joe's Myths

Time management is a concept that I occasionally struggle with, as I prefer to put off everything until the last possible moment and this strategy backfires on me quite often. I plan on avoiding this recurring issue by sticking closely to the proposed schedule provided by the instructor and trying to finish as much work as I can early in the week to avoid last minute panics.

I've grown up around technology and consider myself fairly competent in most areas. It may take me a little while to adjust to any given specific circumstance and to understand how exactly things are supposed to be done, for instance how to attach images to these posts, but I am confident that I'll be able to adjust to it.

This is unlike any other class I've ever taken. The closest experience I have to this is a discussion based class I took last semester that involved a significant bit of writing, but it wasn't as personalized as this will be, so I'm looking forward to the new experience. I am also excited to get to look at how other people will be responding to these assignments and getting to discuss ideas with them through comments. Overall, I'm very excited for this class.

Since I started attending OU, I found out that I learned in a very different way than most of my fellow classmates. While they would spend hours reading and re-reading the textbook, I would skim the topic once, make notes about topics I didn't quite have a handle on, make flashcards for anything I had to memorize, and be done with the whole thing. I would check myself on topics by looking over the subject names in the given topic I was studying and be able to recall most of the useful information. Anything I couldn't immediately call up, I compiled with my notes, and would look at them periodically for the next few days until I understood it. This drove my friends crazy because I wasn't spending the same amount of time studying as they were, but was still getting good grades on the assignments. I've embraced my learning technique and have honed it to be more efficient. This allows me to not spend excess time on anything I know well and providing more opportunities to st...

Hello everyone, my name is Joe Green. I'm from Piedmont, OK, which is a small town a little northwest of Oklahoma City. I was a percussionist in the school band and was the drum line section leader my senior year. I played basketball all four years of high school, though I didn't play much my senior year because I broke a bone in my foot just before the season started. I am a junior chemical bio-sciences major. That major is basically what happens when you take the prerequisites for medical school and turn them into a college degree. Last semester I took an ethics class that had a term paper where you had to pick an ethical issue and, using multiple sources, create and support an argument one way or the other. It was interesting to hear people talk about physician assisted suicide, head transplants, and the importance of net neutrality. I am taking the MCAT later this semester and will then apply to medical school, hoping to get into OU's. If all goes according to plan, I...
