Ø Reiterate a term or concept you learned in Anatomy this week.

Epithelium- ( plural) is classified with different shapes such as squamous, cubodial, and columnar. These shapes of cells can also be layered differently such as simple or stratifed based on layers.

Ø List a few pleasant events that happened during your first weeks at NMU.
made a few new friends, i realized how its good to meet new people but at the same time it makes you realize how much you enjoy who your true, best friends are. I went to a football game which wasn't as good as i thought it'd be. got a good grade on my math quiz.

Ø Where do you want to be (academically) in six months?

i want a good gpa. I've always been a good student it just seems like college might change that. I recieved 4.0 both semesters in highschool actually 4.25 with my AP classes. I just hope i can keep up on my grades.

Ø List habits you already possess that make you successful in college.
note taking, OCD about studying, asks questions
Ø List habits (timewasters?) you can change or modify, or need to lose.
talk on the phone, check my facebook, work

Ø Explain how you approach studying your a) textbook and b) notes.
i read my book and take notes... then i take those notes and turn them into note cards and learn that information so im not dependant on having a sheet of paper in my hands to trigger my memory.

Ø Explain how you determine what to write down in notes during lectures.
i can't explain it, i just write down vocab i don't know or know to remember, make sure everything that seems important to me is writen down.

Ø FAST FOOD NATION:
Ø Watch this short 1980’s McDonald’s commercial. McD’s reps have actually claimed they do not target children in their ads.. Pay attention to the tagline: “The Hamburglar is very clever and very sneaky!” Why is this ironic?

because the company itself is sneaky. They do indeed target children through this cartoon. it's ironic because they are being hypicritical.


Ø Over the last several decades, fast food companies have aggressively targeted children in their marketing efforts. Should advertisers be permitted to target children who lack the sophistication to make informed decisions and are essentially being lured into eating high fat, high calorie food through toys and cute corporate mascots?

i think its a smart idea, don't get me wrong its completely wrong, i just think it was so smart in the advertising world. I do indeed think its wrong they target an age that knows so little about food, whats good for them, and what is right and wrong.
