First-Week Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I am about to start this new CODES class, I am both excited and nervous. I know that in this class there is going to be a lot of science, but I’m not sure what areas we are going to concentrate on. Most of my goals in this class are in sections 5 and 6, with a concentration on learning and knowledge, as I am hoping to improve the science area of CODES and how it helps us through our research. I am interested in learning or improving in my goals through the semester by reading, reflecting, and analyzing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midterm Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far throughout this semester I learned that the jigsaws were my weak spot. They were very scientific with lots of highly educational explanations that for me with not a lot of background in biology science had a hard time understanding what the authors were trying to explain. I did enjoy further learning about scientists from the scientific spotlight. I enjoyed the ted talks and reading about what they have dedicated so much of their time and education into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that the semester has finally come to an end. I wish I could have done more to meet my goal and should have asked for help earlier but there was some miscommunication on my slide to get assistance. Even with that being said, I made sure to always do my part in our group’s work and presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
