Integrative Biology 131 - Lecture 29: Forebrain

Integrative Biology 131: General Human Anatomy. Fall 2005. Professor Marian Diamond. The functional anatomy of the human body as revealed by gross and microscopic examination.

The Department of Integrative Biology offers a program of instruction that focuses on the integration of structure and function in the evolution of diverse biological systems. It investigates integration at all levels of organization from molecules to the biosphere, and in all taxa of organisms from viruses to higher plants and animals.

The department uses many traditional fields and levels of complexity in forging new research directions, asking new questions, and answering traditional questions in new ways. The various...

Many people need to hear and see at the same time in order to learn. In one of her first videos, she mentions that she wants the students to write down what she says so that they can transfer the information to long-term storage. Powerpoint lectures have the disadvantage of being fast. The lecturer just flips through slides and students sit passively. Diamond studied the brain for goodness sake! She lectures at the speed of your processing and these videos allow you to review.

@BrianPx1 I don't know about you, but I have had some awful college professors. In comparison I think she does a phenomenal job at introducing complex structures to individuals who are learning it for the first time. Additionally, I agree that such questions are great for learning, and if you listen to her lectures she does utilize such methods, but that method isn’t really practical for an hour in an auditorium full of students.

this professor is indeed a teacher by nature and knows her way about things,sadly some only want to find negatives about everything clearly showing lack of self interest .this video's are helpfull 2 students like myself who study in foreing languages who needs confident ,well experienced references from such professor's.

@formfitsfunction Yes! exactly - good point. What this lecturer is doing is providing what a text book does - a recitation of facts. There is very little experience presented (in my opinion). What would experience look like? "Ok class, today we a 55 yr old diabetic man that presents with a 3 hr history of left sided weakness. Last night you read in your texts about the descending motor pathways. Now I want you do figure our where the lesion could be." Let's think!

@BrianPx1 A textbook does not have experience..

A textbook does not have experience.

@formfitsfunction - what is it that she is doing that a textbook does not do? A textbook contains much better diagrams.  Put yourself in the place of the learner and ask "is this an efficient way to learn?" I must agree with the speaker however with her comments starting at 03:54.

@BrianPx1 I would like to see you do it better then...She is not teaching a bunch of third graders where she has to turn around every 5 seconds to make sure they are not throwing spit balls. She teaches from pure knowledge instead of reading straight from a power point..That is a true skill.

@BrianPx1 - Yeah, I agree, to bad she doesn't have a nice ass. But then I wouldn't learn any thing any way. tehehehehe
