[NABS-L] Anatomy Class

Fri Sep 14 14:41:49 UTC 2018

Hi all! 
 I heard that 3D printing is actually one of the best ways to see modles of different things like bones and graphic diagrams. I know that not every school has a 3D printer for the students to use during or for their classes. I was informed that it would help me out in my own future science classes. While I’m on the topic of science classes, how does one figure out if a lab is too visual for the blind without having the teacher doing all of the assessment and overjudging the situation by accedent? I had that experience in high school biology class. Also, in high school, I have run into inaccessable disections like worms themselves and computer anamated frog disections. I heard that the university setting is better than high school when it comes to bringing real spesamens to disect but does this happen every time that a disection occures? Also, figure out ways to make your diagrams accessable. Even with the best technology avalible, the tech doesn’t cover everything. I heard that it falls short with the very advanced diagrams because a picture doesn’t always translate into other forms of communication. I wonder if anyone who is exploring how to make pictures accessable to the blind has ever thought of pushing that application in the classroom? I think it’s the best place for this goal. Also, in anamidy class, if you can get your hands on something like a skelliten or organs of whatever type of anamidy that you’re studying. I think this will help you a lot. I got to touch a skellitan that was not normally accessable to the students because my science teacher at the time had morals. The only disection that I was ever able to access was the disection of a cows eye that took place at my nearest science musium of all places. I think if I remember right, we also disected a squid at that same musium. I didn’t disect myself but I did feel the body parts that were looked at by everyone else after they got disected. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this E Mail! 
Blessed be!!!

In my experience, having taken multiple semesters in the natural sciences, it is not really a good choice. It is not only slow, but it cannot account for different textures and important surfaces indicating such things as different types of tissue or types of cells.

>> Hello Ka,

>> I’ll find out from the biology department which vendor or company they used to purchase the models from. I’ll let you know later today or at the latest tomorrow. Definitely keep an open communication going with your professor and let him know what you need. Also, I would let your professor know as soon as you don’t understand something in class because it is really easy to get behind in anatomy since there is a lot of information and the body is very complex.

Also, they purchased more of the three – D models because not only did they think it was going to be helpful to me but also a lot of sighted students benefit from the models as well. We dissected cats in the lab. The professor ordered thinner latex gloves, so that I could still feel the parts of the cat during the dissection process. When I had difficult time identifying the smaller parts of the cat such as the nerves, The professor would have me identify those parts on the three -d models. I found the three – D models very beneficial.
>>>> Also the professor would sometimes make two dimensional models out of marshmallows, straws, and other miscellaneous things. I would also receive tactile images and diagrams that were produced at the disability office. I did not find those as helpful. I would always utilize the professors office hours and I even set up an hour each week to meet with the professor. We would go over material that I didn’t understand in class. A lab assistant would  read my lab practicals to me because the practicals were Visual. If you would like more tips or have any other questions, feel free to contact me off list. My number is: 267-644-6530. Email works as well.
