Public Speaking

Public Speaking


This course is a nightmare for people with anxiety and stage-fright, but it can be a productive nightmare if you (and your meds) allow it to be. 

Speeches are, unfortunately, part of life. Wedding speeches, informal holiday speeches, academic speeches, workforce presentations...it's horrendous, really. 

I took this as part of my associates degree, and it not only got me out of a performance credit at my four-year university, but it also gave me the ability to speak to a group larger than five people without blacking out. The professor I had was incredible. Timothy Wommack, I miss your class every day, despite the psychological torture. 

Obviously, for a speech class, there's only so much to be gleaned from the notes, but here they are: 

Unit 1

Chapter 1 & Preface

Chapter 2

Chapters 6 & 7 

Unit 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 9

Unit 3

Chapter 10

Chapter 12

Unit 4

Chapter 9 & 8

Chapter 13

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. Quizlet has started charging for mo...

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 , ...

Studying for GRE's Quant Section (and a Smidge of the Verbal)

  Studying For Real Life People As a broke CNA and a mother of a rambunctious toddler, I've done my absolute best to maximize my time and minimize my costs to study for this godforsaken test. This is what I did as someone with not a ton of time nor energy.  Overview of the Graduate Record Examination's Structure To start any conversation about the GRE, we have to start with the fact that it is an adaptive test. Think of it like a video game. Imagine that Level 1 is the easiest, and Level 2 is the most difficult. The first section you'll do will be a mix of Level 3-4 problems with some Level 2 and Level 5 problems mixed in. The test will see how you do with problems, and it takes into account the levels of said problems. Level 5 questions are harder, but they unlock better score bonuses. Level 1 questions are easier, but they have no bonuses.  Note that the GRE was updated September 22, 2023. The old version was longer, had more sections, and included breaks. image sourced...
