Week 6 – Ze Practical exercise
General: This week there was no lecture and we had hybrid exercise. People willingful to come to campus attended offline exercise and the rest watched on Zoom. The exercise was about structure of brain and its developement. Students attending the offline exercise made models of brain following the trace of time of our developement. The product shows different structures of brain in different colours.
VV: This week I had my first physical exercise in Finland. It was fun. I do understand why it was impossible to make it online, since we modeled our own brains. It would be posible to make it online if this course was about 3D modeling and all of us were fluent in some CAD program. This way we modeled the brain from play dough. It sounds like trivial task for a kid but I understand teh overlap. It is easier for us to memorize something we did using more senses the better if we had strong feelings while doing that. As I said. it was fun and it was my first ofline exercise so I think it hit the right spot. We were allowed to take the brains we created back home so now I can repeat it whenever I interfere with it.
Some thoughts about this course. I love the fact that this is not being thaught only by medical doctors or by physisists or by elecrical engineers but by mixture of all. And I find really encurraging to ask when I do not understand something because other teachers, that doesn’t lead the presentation in the moment, ask as well. It no longer means that the who ask is dumb because our other teachers ask as well. I like this course and it sparked an idea, to focus on neurology after I finnish my masters. Thank you.
