Being a senior at GVSU with a Biomedical Science major, I have taken many interesting courses in the fields of biology, BMS, and chemistry. Having a huge interest in science I have enjoyed absorbing knowledge from all of these courses. However, there is one class that really stuck out to me as being one of my favorites, and that class was BMS 301 Introduction to Research. One of the things that made this class my favorite was the professor Dr. Sylvester. He did a great job in presenting the material. For example, he would write out the section of notes on the white board then give us some time to copy down the notes.

He went at a steady pace allowing for students to get a grasp and have a pretty good idea on what was going on at the end of the class period. The third aspect of the class that made it my favorite was how Dr. Sylvester kept the class interesting. For instance, he talked about some of the research projects that he had been a part of. He also discussed other scientist’s research projects and the interesting clinical trials that they had conducted. Lastly and most importantly BMS 301 became my favorite class because it gave me insight on what I wanted to do for a career in BMS. Before taking this class I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do with my major. I figured that I would just follow the path that most BMS majors take, going to med school and becoming a doctor. However, after taking this class I figured out that my true passion was in research. Hearing about Dr. Sylvester’s research projects he was a part of, I found abundant interest in the research aspect of biomedical science. This changed my outlook on what I actually wanted to do for a career. From pursuing a career to become a doctor to hunting down a dream to become a research scientist. Overall BMS 301 has been my favorite class thus far, because any class that can have a big enough impact on someone to change their career path
