Candid Student Reports


The following reports were written by members of Medicine & the Biosciences during the third day of the program. Some elements may have been removed/edited for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.


Today, we started our projects. I think that they are harder than I thought. 
Sade and I are doing our project on Diabetes. There's more to diabetes than I 
thought. I think that it'll go great! Everything else today went great as well. 


Samantha

I liked working on my project. I found working independently, with help, to be 
an excellent way of doing things.


Robbie

Today's class was a little better because most of the teaching was over and we 
started our projects.  We each have a partner and are working together to 
figure out the problems we choose.  Friday we will present and I can't wait to 
show ours off.


Derek

Today was pretty cool.  We modeled aspirin in the morning using MacSpartan, and 
began work on our final projects in the afternoon.  The freedom to work on 
whatever we want to is great!  My partner and I had some problems with our 
STELLA Ebola model, but that was probably because of the data.  I can't wait 
'till we really start working on it tomorrow.


Andrew

I enjoyed today.  I felt that I learned alot .  One of the things today in 
depth is chemistry.  I enjoyed the spartan program.  That was very useful.  I 
got a good start on my project, which I think that I will enjoy doing and 
presenting.


Carla

Todays class was a better class that yesterday I think that I have a better understanding of what the progect is to be about and I thnk that the problem that I had yesterday is resolved. I am not sure of what we are going to do diabetes or a report on guinea worms.


Sade

This morning we made models of aspirin using the MacSpartan program, and that 
was interesting.  Later, we started on our project, which we decided would be 
on Ebola.  We based our STELLA model on a study, but because it was faulty info, we didn't get the results we wanted.  Tomorrow we will be getting better 
data, so hopefully the model will produce the right results.
