Okay, I'm going to start this one off with something funny. Last week, we were going over the endocrine system in lab and lecture, and so when I saw this on the Internet, it made me laugh a little that I knew what it was about:
Anyways, thanks to my professor and my lab TA's, I knew what this picture of "chewed-up gum" was. We really do have amazing teachers here at BYU (and teaching me what the pancreas looks like isn't even the coolest thing I've learned from them). But even cooler than what they teach is HOW they teach. Coming to BYU, we have the unique opportunity to learn from teachers who are able to weave the gospel into everything they teach. Being taught secular topics through the perspective of the restored gospel has expanded my learning, and especially in anatomy, has made me see how religion and the gospel really do touch every aspect of life. This quote from the Education in Zion explains it well:
It's cool that we get to study in a place where our professors and other teachers can freely talk about spiritual matters in any class, in relation to any subject. I am definitely grateful for that.
By the way, the end of the semester is coming up! I will officially be done with my anatomy lab next Friday! It's crazy how time flies!
What does education mean to us, and how has our experience in anatomy affected our views and opinions on education? How are we changing through the semester? Through this blog, we hope to share our reflections on lessons learned, appreciation gained, and how anatomy has influenced our experience in the Education in Zion exhibit. We hope to show individual growth and increased understanding, and we hope we show a greater appreciation for education as we create posts throughout the semester.
