Yes, another blog today - and it is again about science! This one however, is a contrast to my prior post; I went to an actual review today, learned something, and enjoyed it!
What a great TA I was blessed with for my session, and he is hilarious! To begin my once a week reviews in class he does some interesting things, like have a shark of the week and dinosaur of the day. He will proceed to tell us why certain dinosaurs are the way they are and how the senses of sharks work. (It is kind of interesting but has absolutely nothing to do with science..maybe there is strategy to this actually!) There are two other things he does, and asks the class to join in with him. Very unique, but strangely enough it seems to work!
Yoga. He gets on the table and does one yoga pose with us.
One, Two, Three...SCIENCE! With a fist punch. Shouted. At the top of our lungs. If it is not up to par, he will make us do it again!
These activities are done to center us, give us a clear mind, and help us "be here now." I was not thinking he would do those last two at our review with 300 people but he did! And he was in a shirt and tie!! It is hilarious! Makes me kind of enjoy class. And he can actually teach in a way that makes sense and helps understand, and he is a psychology major!
The only thing that ruined it was he HAD to throw in a clip from "The Simpsons." Nice.
