One of the greatest things about my Neurological Basis of Communication Disorders class this semester is the way my professor taps into all of our areas of learning. We all learn differently whether it’s auditory, visual, or Kinesthtic, my professor tries to reach us all. We watch videos where we can see images/diagrams of the brain in 3-D, form groups and learn topics from our classmates which is great because we all learn differently, and we do hands on activities using our own creativity. She also provides us with charts that are in color and labelled by numbers to give us multiple ways to remember the information. Sometimes she even asks us to do things with our non-dominant hand so that we activate a different area of our brain. For example, our one homework assignment was to brush our teeth with our left hand. You would be amazed at how much more alert you become when you try to brush your teeth with your left hand (if your right hand dominant). Something that is a normal and almost automatic thing for you suddenly becomes a challenge. This is by far one of my most challenging courses this semester in regards to the curriculum but, I am loving every moment of it!
