Ø Reiterate a term or concept you learned in Anatomy this week.



Canaliculi- Referred to little canals..Where the osteoblast processes extend
communication between cells. Communication of nutrients and wastes
Only method this communication can occur because osteoid is solid and impermeable.







Ø List a few pleasant events that happened during your first weeks at NMU.



Hmmm....Pleasant events...this may be a tough one....well the food is great...Anatomy is not so bad...in fact its my favorite class...not the lab..the lecture...i went to a good football game between NMU and Northwoods.









Ø Where do you want to be (academically) in six months?



I would really enjoy being close to a 4.0 at least...if not..then ill settle for at least a 3.7 or 3.8



Ø List habits you already possess that make you successful in college.



Make my anatomy class the number 1 priority of all my classes and follow it up with Chemistry and 3rd would be Math. Med Terminology is so easy and i already aced the Mid Term exam....





Ø List habits (timewasters?) you can change or modify, or need to lose.



My main timwasters are visiting friends or just doing stuff that does not pertain to studying....msn especially..i dont need to lose msn ...but i need to stay off of it more often..





Ø Explain how you approach studying your a) textbook and b) notes.



When it comes to the textbook, i look at the headlines..and figure out what the section is pertaining to..then read over the material and memorize the important highlighted words and what they mean and what they do..(anatomy)...and for my notes...repetitive reading over and over and over and over and over again for memorization...although i already have good memorization skills.....*refer to Med Terminology grades*..and if i do well in Anatomy...my memorization skills will show...





Ø Explain how you determine what to write down in notes during lectures.



I write down everything that is extremely important for lectures...especially for Anatomy and Chemistry...whatever the professor says...is written down.





Ø FAST FOOD NATION:Ø Watch this short 1980’s McDonald’s commercial. McD’s reps have actually claimed they do not target children in their ads.. Pay attention to the tagline: “The Hamburglar is very clever and very sneaky!” Why is this ironic?

Well in my opinion, I believe the irony of it all is the fact that more children would be enticed to eat at McDonald's because of these cartoonish figures that try and persuade kids to come to McDonald's...plus there were a bunch of children's voices used in the commercial...

Ø Over the last several decades, fast food companies have aggressively targeted children in their marketing efforts. Should advertisers be permitted to target children who lack the sophistication to make informed decisions and are essentially being lured into eating high fat, high calorie food through toys and cute corporate mascots?

No they really should not be allowed to target children, because it is clearly obvious that the children would not understand what really is going on in fast food restaurants and the companies know that..so they use them as puppets basically..its immoral if you ask me...
