BIO
150: Human Anatomy & Physiology
|
General principles of animal life,
emphasizing the structure and function of the human body.
Reflection:
Anatomy and Physiology has a reputation at the University of Maine at
Farmington (UMF), for being one of the most difficult courses on campus. At
many universities, A and P is divided into two semesters. At UMF, A and P
is packed into one semester. Needless to say, this course was my life for
an entire semester.I had
taken an interest in high school in anatomy so during my senior year, I took
an Advanced Placement Biology course. This was beneficial for A and P at
the college level, but I still struggled with the balance of this intense
course along with 4 other courses. Thankfully, I survived and feel that I
retained a lot of information.

PSY
101S: General Psychology
|
| This course provides a broad overview
of essential topics in psychology. Topics to be covered include:
historical background, research design and analysis, biological mechanisms
and structures, physical development, cognition, personality,
developmental issues, social psychology, psychopathology, work related and
cultural issues. This course is a prerequisite for all intermediate and
advanced psychology courses
Reflection:
This was one of the few courses that I have taken at
the college level where I was one of three hundred students. Being just a
number in a course changes the learning environment in a way that I was
not comfortable. I like to know my professors and have them know me in
return (by my name). I enjoyed the set-up of this course as it was
instructed by three professors, each responsible for a section of
psychology that he or she specialized in. This broke the semester up
nicely, and it was reassuring knowing that the professors were very
knowledgeable in the area that he or she was teaching.
