Module 1 reflective post

- I disagree with Davids notion about the fact that %90 of the content we teach in not necessary and the students will not need it n their future life. For the undergraduate education, I believe we establish the basis of knowledge for the students which they can build on later to face the unknown that David mentioned in the 00:58 min of the video. I believe, in order to face the unknown and to deal with future situations in their professional life they need to lean a wide base of knowledge in the subject that they studying. In my subject, "comparative anatomy of vertebrates", students need to learn about the anatomy of various systems in the body and to be able to establish a comparison between different classes of vertebrates. Learning this broad approach will help them understanding the correlation between the anatomical structure and the function.

- Students of comparative anatomy of vertebrates course can approach learning through combining  theoretical descriptions and the practical dissection of representative vertebrate animals. The laboratory dissection activity will enhance their on/post-class deep learning activities.

- Once students engaged in deep learning in this course, they will be able to understand the correlation of the structure and the evolutionary relationships between different classes of vertebrate animals. This will allow further elucidating the functions of organs in the advanced classes such as physiology.

- One main strategy to encourage deep learning is dissecting animals and investigating their systems. Other strategy is watching videos of dissection of these animals which are available in YouTube. More strategies including the design of experiments to delineate the functional importance of vital organs such as heart, pancreas and sciatic nerve.

- In total, at the time the issue that David raised in the video might be true and applicable to some courses, they may not be applicable with other courses especially basic courses that are needed to establish a broad base knowledge for other advanced courses. In contrast, this broad content can be combined with emphasis on the applications of learning the anatomy of vertebrates.
