[NABS-L] Anatomy Class

[Emily Schlenker]

Hi! Do not worry, you will do great. I am taking a comparative vertebrate anatomy class this semester, and it is very hard. I have tactile drawings that are the same as what my classmates have. Using clay or model magic is also a fabulous idea, as is getting certain things from the craft store with distinguishing textures and shapes. As for the lab, dissection is actually pretty good for us, because many tissues have different textures and consistencies. As far as tiny things, you may have to rely on images and models to learn them and take exams. My class is a work in progress, as my professor has never taught someone without site. I am working very hard to learn difficult material and to help this be a learning experience for my instructor. I am going to leave you my phone number, and you or your professor can call me at anytime.

PS I have had two semesters of biology, six semesters of chemistry, two semesters of physics, and tons of other interesting classes with challenging material. Feel free to ask me about anything that might be causing you trouble.

Currently, I have someone utilizing a tactile drawing board to make diagrams and I will be getting some clay to produce 3D models. I have also asked the professor to be more verbally descriptive rather than referring to different parts by saying "this one or those  purple dots."

He is concerned that I may not be able to tactially distinguish different parts since some of the specimens we would be using might be very small. I have never participated in Dissection labs before in high school so any tips would be very much appreciated.
