Well guys yet another week has gone by. I have learned a lot during the question of the week this time. The statistics and facts that people put in their post were very interesting. I like to hear how others would handle certain situations. Our question was about what we would do if we were injured in another country with high rates of HIV/AIDS or other diseases and we needed a blood transfusion. Most of the posts that I read were just like me and up in the air about things. It would all depend on exactly how much time was on our side. I know the doctor doesn't have all the answers, but he/she could give a good estimate on whether you had enough time to wait on the United States blood. Although I am a sucker for pain I would choose to endure the discomfort and receive blood that I could trust a little more.
I'm working on reading the book for this class and I must say that is interesting as well. I can't wait to watch the movie and go to the panel. It would be nice to have some face to face interaction for this class. I am also working on the next module for this class. It is a lot of busy work and I know a lot of the information from classes I've taken in the past, but I must say it is a good refresher on the material. I hope to get everything done tomorrow, but if not it should be done Friday. I hope you are all enjoying my posts and I am learning a lot from reading all of yours. I'm looking into getting more information about my Did You Know as well. I think that my topic will open a lot of our eyes, since we are college students. I am taking Teach's advice on the statistics for UCF and hopefully I can find some information for you guys for next week. For all of you that saw the movie Juno, this video might be a little more humerous. Either way, this kind of stuff should be played in high schools all the time. It's funny, but so true!!

Hey Jessica,
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is wow also!! That movie was great, and your Did You Know really hit a nerve for me. It is extremely sad that the percentage is so high; it is as if they were not taught anything in high school. I do not understand how someone can possibly say that they do not feel at risk for HIV! I have been with my boyfriend for 7 years, and I will still say that I feel at risk for HIV. I look forward to your future statistics.

Cute video. Now you need to learn how to import it to your blog so people just click on the video to play.
ReplyDeleteNow about your statement that the module was a lot of busy work. I'm afraid I hate, yes hate, that statement because I don't understand what it means. Students use it all the time. If you had not had to answer the questions I will just bet you would have viewed the slides, maybe even read them once, but not learned a thing. By having to search for the answers you were forced to read the slides. You may have even found some of them interesting.
