Medical Interventions Honors

The objective of this assignment was to use two different audio tests to find out if you have good hearing and to show how bad your hearing is. We collected data and compare it to a base of where are hearing test should be for our age. 

The assignment fits in with the overall unit because we were talking about the different parts and structures of the human ear.  For example the Cochlea and auditory nerve which is responsible for transferring auditory information from the cochlea (auditory area of the inner ear) to the brain, and we tested this part with these two tests.

I learned that sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner ear or missing parts of the inner ear, while conductive hearing loss is caused by age or something happening to you. 

Reflection

The components of this assignment were to do research, collect data, and answer the hypothesis. This assignment showcases my strengths by showing how I can do great research and I can use that research to develop my report. The assignment is also a great demonstration of my development  and my comprehension through the course.

The assignment demonstrates important themes throughout the course because it helps us understand the purpose behind medical interventions and how they are used to help with peoples health.  These medical devices also help use  create an understanding on how hearing is really tested by doctors. 

I appreciated the assignment because it further developed my understanding and helped me shape a new perspective on the course. The course has also become more interesting with this assignments and helped me enjoy the class a little more.  

The task of the assignment was to use what our knowledge developed throughout the unit and answer  questions based on that unit.

The objective of the assignment was to use what our knowledge developed throughout the unit and answer  questions based on that unit. Which if you really think about it is to further develop our understanding and help the teacher know what we have learned so far.

The assignment fit in with the overall unit because it is based on the unit it self and tests us on the concept of the unit. 

I have learned that PCR's are currently widely used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose diseases, clone and sequence genes, and carry out sophisticated quantitative and genomic studies in a rapid and very sensitive manner.

Reflection

This assignment was challenging because i didn't fully comprehend the unit at the time because i wasn't really paying attention. Plus I didn't really like the unit to begin with because the way it was being though was all over the place for me in my opinion. 

I could better improve my assignment by going to office hours and seeking help from the teacher. I can also try to do my own teaching and research before hand to get a better understanding. 

I didn't redo the assignment because it was a Quiz, but it was better explained at some point I think.
