Reflection On Metacognition

My deep rooted curiosity about the human body is what has driven me to study this course. Contributing to future medical developments, as well as breakthroughs in wider science, is something that both excites and motivates me. This fascination surrounding the body works has led to an enthusiasm for science, particularly Biology, that extends beyond the classroom.

As I made my journey into college, I prepared as much as I can for the MCAT. My educational journey does not end with a bachelor's in Molecular Biology, but obtaining a medical degree. Ever since I was a little, I always wanted to be a doctor and with that vision it required a lengthy preparation and a lot of studying . For my intended major, Molecular Biology, I took all the required classes for transfer in addition, studying my medical/Mcat books on the side. Given the MCAT covers a broad range of subjects, I decided to expand and take as much classes as

I decided to take this class because I am interested in learning the basics for the medical field. I am interested in being a pediatrician because I enjoy working with children. I look forward to helping families by curing a sickly child or completing a usual check up. No one in my family has entered the field of medicine. I chose the medical field because I feel as if I can provide help for people who need it. Although these are my interest, I am still undecided for what I what for my future and I'm hoping this class can help me make the best

As mentioned, it was my first class and I was very eager, therefore I worked hard and now understand that in actuality this class set a wonderful foundation for all future learning here at Everglades. Future classes did expand on this knowledge, but the flash cards created to help me remember vitamins, minerals, nutrients, amino acids, and where they are found in foods, for that first class were still helping me study for classes that I had three years later.

Many friends have taken or are going to take this class, which motivates my inner want in exploring this advanced class. Before my junior year began, I took time and vacillated between taking AP literature or AP biology--I decided on the latter. My masochistic self and other peers took AP chemistry last school year; knowing that there is a lot of work in that class, I didn’t want to add another class with a massive workload, which is why I find myself here in my senior

The curriculum provides a solid science foundation through the foundation of medicine course that emphasizes genetics, pathophysiology, etc. However, instead of simply learning the material, I want to be able to apply it, so I am prepared for my clinical rotations. The integration into clinical concepts taught in small groups led by faculty is what distinguishes this program from other PA programs. Therefore, George Washington’s curriculum fits my learning style perfectly because when I joined small peer groups for physiology and biochemistry during my undergraduate career, I retained more information and learned how to apply it to various scenarios helping me excel on the tests. Therefore, this course provided throughout the didactic portion will allow me to apply the knowledge first through case studies, and then as a

When I first started this class, I did not expect to learn as much as I did. My sister took the online version of this class and she told me that she barely put an effort in the class to get a good grade. I feel like that is the opposite reaction in my own experience. I think I put lot of effort into this class, but at the same time I did learn a lot from it. I even use the material from this class to do a whole new research paper on the different class because I feel like this class content is very interesting.

This course was easily relatable to my AP bio course I took my senior year of high school, and my biology lab that I took this fall semester my freshman year. The lab and the lecture went hand in hand which helped me academically learn more. I noticed that by taking these two courses together it helps me learn more and better understand the material that I need to study/ know. All my knowledge of this course I mainly learned my senior year of high school through AP biology, although this course really emphasized my essential understanding of the course and went into more depth of the criteria that I needed to better know. I have acquired new ways of seeing, being, and thinking of this course because of the way it’s gone about. By being in this

Before taking this course I was really excited about what I am going to learn. And I was right! This course is not only interesting but it is also helpful. I have learned that the grade I am having right now is the reflection of my try throughout the entire semester.

Taking AP Biology isn’t that bad. It's, for the most part, fun. But it also challenging as well. Taking AP Biology incredible because the class gets to do lab experiment and even digital ones This is also helpful to one’s who want to have a medical career. It’s because this AP class gets into the specifics of the topic that is being

I also expedcted that being that it was online that it would be more difficult because I had to be more disciplined when completing the modules. This class was a real eye opener. It showed me that as a country we are very unhealthy. We eat a lot of everything and as a result we are one of the most unhealthy countries. We eat too much fast food and junk food, all because it is so readily available. It is easier to just grab a McDouble from McDonalds than it is to go grocery shopping and purchase healthful food and prepare a healthy meal. I learned that I need to learn to cook for myself, not only is it much healthier, it can be reasonable also if you know how and where to shop. Nutrition is something a lot of people have to work at, this class showed me that it is very important. If I use the knowledge I gained from this class about how much of what foods to eat, I will be able to make healthier eating and living

Two strategies that have helped me take on new information and learn is rereading the material and jotting down notes while doing it. This helps me recall things I may have missed and it’s also serves as a nice visual

This subject interests me because throughout my time in school I was always interested in the science (health side) to things so I would always research different areas, print bits out and put them all in a file. Still, to this day I continue to research different illnesses, medications, and treatments and put them all into the same file. I am suitable for this course because I am very determined, well driven, committed to learning new things and willing to try anything if it means getting closer to my goal of becoming a nurse.

Generally Metacognition is defined as “how individual monitor and control their cognitive process” (Young & Fry, 2008). Metacognition refers to being able to reflect upon, understand, and control one’s learning. Previous accounts of metacognition have differentiated between two major components, including knowledge about cog¬nition and regulation of cognition (Brown, 1987; Flavell, 1987; Jacobs & Paris, 1987). Knowledge about cognition includes three sub processes that simplify the reflective aspect of metacognition: declarative knowledge (i.e., knowledge about self and about strategies), procedural knowledge (i.e., knowledge about how to use strategies), and conditional knowledge (i.e., knowledge
