Foundations of Epidemiology

Foundations of Epidemiology (KINE270) 

This class was taught by Dr. Carrie Dolan in the fall of 2021. It's an excellent combination of biology and statistics, applied to understand the spread of disease. 

As usual, the course content will be divided up in the same format as the professor chose to break up the class. This professor broke things up week by week. 

Note that each review set is made from Quizlet. Quizlet has started charging for most of its study features, so I highly recommend converting these sets to Knowt, a free site that deserves our support. It will walk you through the steps of converting the sets to enable the Learn feature, Test feature, and review matching games!

Human Anatomy

Human Anatomy (KINE303) This course took place over the spring of 2021 by Dr. Evie Burnet. It is an intense by fascinating tour of the human body. One should note, however, that form follows function. I would advise one takes human physiology before human anatomy since physiology is much closer in content and format to the familiar biology classes that you must take before human physiology. Once function is understood, form is easier to comprehend.  My advice for studying anatomy is to ensure that you're not taking several other rigorous courses the same semester. Unless you have a gift for memorization, you will need to devote ample time to studying this subject. Second, buy a sketchbook, and draw everything out. Label it, color-code it, do everything you see in the diagrams.  As usual, the course content will be divided up in the same format as the professor chose to break up the class.  Note that each review set is made from Quizlet.

Human Physiology

Human Physiology (KINE304) Human physiology was taught by Dr. Michael Deschenes in the spring of 2021. The course was taught remotely, via Zoom, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Traditionally, this professor does not allow computers in the classroom to take notes with.  As usual, the course content will be divided up in the same format as the professor chose to break up the class. "Chapter Notes" refers to the lecture notes which were distinct from the textbook chapters. The textbook goes depths the lecture did not, so the "Textbook Notes" may have information that the exams did not cover. After taking the first exam, it was evident that the textbook notes were not helpful in studying for the exam. They've been included in case it's useful for someone else, but it is only throughout the first unit. Note that each review set is made from Quizlet. Quizlet has started charging for most of its study features, so I highly recommend converting these sets to  Knowt ,
