What Is a Memory Palace?8 minutes A "memory palace" is a mnemonic device or technique in which a learner imagines a location such as a house or room and places concepts or terms to be remembered at specific locations within it. This helps a person remember a large group of things by remembering their location in the imagined location. This technique is also called "method of loci"—and bunch of other synonyms that one would need a memory palace to remember.

| 09 Apr 2018 | Storytelling is the Heart of Teaching A&P | TAPP Radio 12 | 00:23:27 | |
Microglia in the brain nibble on synapse to induce remodeling of neural circuits. Kevin mentions his new online seminar on five ways to enhance long-term learning. A&P is the story of the human body, so A&P professors act as storytellers. Kevin gives some practical tips on how to do that effectively. Microglia prune synapses to remodel brain circuits. (6 min) If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here. Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Nuzzel, Tumblr, or Instagram!
(0:47) New information shows that microglia nibble on presynaptic neurons using trogocytosis, rather than phagocytosis, to prune synapses during memory formation to help remodel brain networks. Microglia also induce postsynaptic spines to "reach out" to form new synapses with presynaptic neurons.
(6:50) Kevin has a new online seminar on five strategies to enhance long-term learning in A&P courses.
(8:05) Kevin explains why he thinks storytelling is the heart of effective teaching, especially in the A&P course. He outlines the "storytelling persona"; making sure there is a beginning, middle, and end to our stories, applying storytelling to both lectures and the entire course, using drama, conflict and resolution, and other techniques.

Staying Up To Date1 minute Taking a brief break, Kevin reminds listeners about his occasionally regular Substack newsletter, The A&P Professor Science & Education Updates.
Put Yourself in Their Shoes14.5 minutes In this conversation, Kevin raises a scenario about reusing images from a previously adopted textbook in his new course materials. Brenda explains that continuing to use such content after switching textbooks would exceed the original license's scope, making it unethical and illegal. She advises always seeking permission from the publisher, not the author, for such uses. Brenda also highlights potential legal consequences of copyright infringement, including fines and lawsuits, stressing the importance of being ethical and avoiding copyright violations.
Do You Write?2 minutes Briefly stepping away from the conversation, Kevin reminds listeners about the advantages of membership in the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA). Any kind of academic writer, whether textbooks, manuals, lab exercises, dissertations, journal or other articles, reports, or grants, benefit from the resources and networking TAA offers. Listen for a special deal for new members!
I Need a Handout (and a Sandwich) 16.5 minutes In this conversation, Kevin asks Brenda if creating a handout for students automatically gives him copyright protection. Brenda confirms that any work in a tangible form is copyrighted, whether registered or not. She advises adding a copyright notice and registering valuable works to protect against unauthorized use. They discuss the risks of copyright infringement, including potential legal consequences, and highlight the benefits of using licenses like Creative Commons for sharing work. Brenda also clarifies that reproducing lab exercises without permission is illegal, even if it's common practice in underfunded schools.
Finding Media1.5 minutes Yep, another short break. This time, Kevin reminds listeners that The A&P Professor website lists places to find free and legal media to use in teaching anatomy & physiology.
Can I Put My PowerPoint on YouTube? 10.5 minutes In this segment, Kevin asks if it's permissible to upload PowerPoint presentations with textbook images onto public platforms like YouTube or SlideShare. Brenda explains that such usage would likely exceed the scope of permissions granted for classroom use, and extra permission would be required. She also clarifies that even if the material is uploaded to a closed platform, such as an LMS like Canvas or Blackboard, permission is still typically needed as it extends beyond classroom teaching. They discuss fair use, emphasizing that transformative use, such as critical analysis, may qualify as fair use, but general teaching does not.

In episode 140, we introduce the development of the pre-A&P course and the A&P1 Supplement course. These courses address the challenges faced by A&P students and improve their readiness and comprehension. In this first of two episodes, we focus on the pre-A&P course. It focuses on filling subject knowledge gaps with 10 modules and cumulative tests. Student surveys and studies show its effectiveness in achieving higher grades in the A&P 1 course. Implementing these nontraditional courses requires collaboration and support from advisors and faculty members. Together, we aim to bridge the gap in subject preparation and learning skills for student success.

Pre-A&P21.5 minutes We delve into the reasons behind developing the Pre-A&P and A&P 1 Supplement courses. We identify two major challenges faced by incoming A&P students: lack of subject preparation and insufficient learning skills. To combat these obstacles, the Pre-A&P course was created as a self-paced online refresher. It covers fundamental science topics like cell biology, metabolism, genetics, and body organization—thus helping students fill knowledge gaps. The A&P1 Supplement course, focused on developing more effective learning skills, will be the subject of the next episode. ★ Pre-A&P: Foundations in Science (online course syllabus for Kevin's BIO 095 course) lionden.com/fis.htm ★ Pre-A&P course description (from the college website) AandP.info/puj ★ The Prerequisite Problem | Wi-Fi Effects | Transplant Genomes | Episode 61 ★ Success Supplements (an on-demand seminar summarizing these two courses) Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor
Course Design17 minutes In this segment, Kevin discusses the 10 modules of his Pre-A&P course, which cover essential concepts for success in anatomy and physiology. The modules include foundational topics such as science basics, introductory and biological chemistry, cell structure and function, cell transport, metabolism, protein synthesis, genetics, tissues, and the human body. Students take cumulative tests for each module and must score 85% or higher to unlock the next module.

More About Module Tests12.5 minutes This segment discusses the nature of module tests in the Pre-A&P course, explaining that they can be both formative and summative depending on students' progress. Kevin emphasizes that the tests serve as retrieval practice, despite some controversy around the term. The tests are highly randomized to prevent cheating, and immediate feedback is provided through automatic scoring. The tests are untimed, promoting equity and accommodating students with various needs and circumstances. ★ Spaced Retrieval Practice | Episode 1 ★ Revisiting Retrieval Practice | Episode 68 ★ Quizzed About Tests | FAQs About Patton Test Strategies | TAPP 99 ★ More Quizzing About Kevin’s Wacky Testing Scheme | Book Club | TAPP 100 ★ Testing As a Teaching Strategy | Episode 2 ★ Testing as Teaching (on-demand seminar) ★ Dancing Organelles, AI Resources, Distracting Animations, Timed Tests & Micro-credentials | TAPP 138 ★ Retrieval practice is not a test (so stop calling it that) (um, okay, whatever) AandP.info/8x3

Student surveys indicate high satisfaction and recommendation rates. A study showed that students who took the Pre-A&P course performed better in their A&P course. While there are challenges and hurdles to overcome in implementing such a course, it serves as a valuable bridge between prerequisites and rigorous college courses. ⚠ CORRECTION: It’s actually a .75 (or 3/4 of a letter grade) bump for A&P 1 students who took the pre-A&P course—not half a letter grade as stated in the audio. ★ Taking Bold Steps in Teaching | Notetaking | Science Updates | TAPP 90 ★ Too Many Students Placed in Remedial Courses?

| 16 Sep 2019 | The Case for Case Studies | Episode 52 | 00:49:50 | |
Host Kevin Patton discusses the many ways case studies can be used in teaching, why they enhance learning, and where to find them. Also, updates in factors underlying left-handedness, functional maps of the brain, and reversing biological age, plus some tips on responding to student questions. 00:44 | Left-handedness If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here.
If the left half of the brain controls the right half of the body then only left handed people are in their right mind. (W.C. Fields)
1 | Left-Handedness2 minutes A new report suggests that left-handedness, which one in ten of us exhibit, is partially influenced by genes. One effect of these genes is to change the structure of our body cells' cytoskeleton. Of course, a lot more work has to be done. By left-handers and right-handers alike.
2 | Responding to Students19.5 minutes Half of students don't read the syllabus, don't read directions, don't listen to us—which can produce some frustrations when they reach out to us with questions that they already have the answer for. Somewhere nearby them. Kevin gives some tips on how to to handle these with grace and ease (taking barely any time or effort), as well as advice on heading them off before they are asked.
3 | Sponsored by HAPS0.5 minutes The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast. You can help appreciate their support by clicking the link below and checking out the many resources and benefits found there. There are a bunch of 1-day regional workshops scattered all over the continent. There's probably one near you coming up this year (or next)!
4 | Mapping Brain Functions4 minutes We've all see various functional maps of the human brain. But once you get down to the smaller regions, or parcels, it gets weird. Beyond a certain resolution, things are very flexible. Because functions of tiny parcels vary with the state of that region of the brain in any given moment, we will probably not be able to produce a high-resolution functional map of the brain—even for any one individual.
5 | Sponsored by AAA0.5 minutes
6 | Reversing Age3.5 minutes Can biological age be reversed? Some research in a small group of older men suggest it may be possible. Using a cocktail of common drugs, their epigenomes showed a younger biological age. Hmm.

| 25 Jun 2018 | Reading A&P Terms Out Loud Helps Reading Comprehension | TAPP Episode 20 | 00:22:24 | |
Why we should encourage A&P students to say the difficult terms out loud before reading. Will we ever pin down the number of genes in the human genome? Get a free book of brain facts from the Society for Neuroscience. Please help Kevin extend the reach of TAPP Radio! Summer is a good time to binge listen all the episodes of this podcast, perhaps enjoying the beverage of your choice (mine is iced tea...unsweet). How many genes in the human genome? (3.5 min)
If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here. Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Nuzzel, Tumblr, or Instagram!
(0:43) New research increases the number of coding genes in the human genome up from around 19,000 or so genes to just over 21,000 genes.

(6:50) I ask your help to spread the news and share this podcast with others who might be interested. Or complete strangers. Okay, maybe just folks you know who are actual A&P teachers or have related interests.
(10:23) It sounds wacky, for sure, but reading complex terms out loud before reading the textbook can helps speed up reading and improve comprehension.
(20:57) Even if you've already heard them all, it's worth your while to listen again, starting at Episode 1 and working your way through. If you know you've missed some previous episodes, that's an even better reason to binge!

The general topic of this special episode revolves a recurring theme of this podcast: teaching as a form of storytelling
2 | Storytelling in the A&P Course15 minutes Kevin explains why he thinks storytelling is the heart of effective teaching, especially in the A&P course. He outlines the “storytelling persona”; making sure there is a beginning, middle, and end to our stories, applying storytelling to both lectures and the entire course, using drama, conflict and resolution, and other techniques.
3 | Teachers vs. Robots | AI in Teaching2 minutes Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen by some as the emerging technology to replace teachers. Really? How should we respond? In Episode 47, I suggest that developing the uniquely human (and humane) skills—such as storytelling—is our best strategy. This is a clip taken from the middle of that segment.

| 23 Apr 2018 | Are Learning Styles Real? Why or Why Not? | TAPP Radio 14 | 00:23:38 | |
Can adult brains make new neurons? Kevin revisits this question and examines new evidence. See you at HAPS 2018 Annual Conference in Columbus OH? Learning styles. Harm or help? Or a bit of both? Can adult brains make new neurons? Again. (4 min) If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here. Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Nuzzel, Tumblr, or Instagram!
0:57 Kevin revisits the notion of whether neurogenesis (growing new neurons) can occur in the adult brain, particularly in the hippocampus. A past episode mentioned a study that said "no" to adult neurogenesis in the brain, bucking current thought. However, a newer paper now supports adult brain neurogenesis. This is fun, isn't it?
5:07 Kevin once again invites you to the 2018 Annual Conference of the Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) in Columbus Ohio--and to look him and say "hi" while you are there!
10:40 Recent buzz about the Husmann/O'Loughlin paper on learning styles prompts a conversation about what learning styles are and are not. And what, if anything, we should do with them.

| 11 Feb 2019 | The Last Best Story in Teaching Anatomy & Physiology | Episode 37 | 00:31:33 | |
Host Kevin Patton emphasizes the idea of the "last best story" in science to review the unfolding debates about adult neurogenesis and autonomic pathways. How can we use the "anatomical compass" to help students learn anatomy? What is reserve hematopoiesis? And more discussion of feedback to students in online tests. 01:17 | Feedback in Online Tests If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here.
Scientific theories are tested every time someone makes an observation or conducts an experiment, so it is misleading to think of science as an edifice, built on foundations. Rather, scientific knowledge is more like a web. The difference couldn’t be more crucial. A tall edifice can collapse – if the foundations upon which it was built turn out to be shaky. But a web can be torn in several parts without causing the collapse of the whole. The damaged threads can be patiently replaced and re-connected with the rest – and the whole web can become stronger, and more intricate. (Massimo Pigliucci)
1 | Feedback in Online tests7 minutes In Episode 36, Adam Rich called in regarding how we can provide feedback to students taking online tests. I responded that I encourage students to get the correct response from their study buddies—or from me. After the episode aired, Krista Rompolski pointed out that this could be a challenge in very large courses. What do y'all think? Tell us. Really.

| 14 Jan 2019 | Big Ideas: The Essential Concepts of A&P | TAPP Episode 35 | 00:28:04 | |
The essential concepts of anatomy & physiology can be recognized by students as the "big ideas" in the stories we tell. Will apoB tests replace LDL tests? How oxytocin works. How smell can affect cortisol/stress. 00:39 | Cholesterol & ApoB in Cardiac Risk If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here. The big ideas are usually simple ideas. (David Ogilvy)
1 |Cholesterol & ApoB in Cardiac Risk5 minutes Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the protein part of the lipoprotein particles in our bloodstream that contain cholesterol. In primary medical care, we often measure total low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) to help us determine risk for cardiovascular disease. As protocols are reviewed, some believe measuring ApoB is a better measure of cardiovascular risk.

Tattoos May Impair Sweating5 minutes It's interesting to see how tattoos can have an impact on our skin and sweat glands. Tattoos involve mechanical stress and potential damage to the skin, and new research suggests that they may negatively affect the sweat glands, impairing sweating in the area of the tattoo. This reduction in sweating is called anhidrosis, which can impact our ability to maintain body temperature and potentially lead to severe conditions such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. While this is still a preliminary study and more research needs to be done, it's a great example of how discussing real-life applications of anatomy and physiology concepts, such as tattoos, can engage students and make the information more relatable and interesting. ★ Tattooed Skin Negatively Impacts Sweat Gland Function (summary article from Science Times) https://aandp.info/j0g ★ Skin tattooing impairs sweating during passive whole body heating (research article from Journal of Applied Physiology) https://aandp.info/tvt ★ Sweating and body odor (article from Mayo Clinic) https://aandp.info/9cg Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor

Aural Diversity. It's a Thing.16 minutes In this segment, host Kevin Patton talks about aural diversity, which refers to variations in hearing ability among people. He explains that understanding aural diversity is important for teachers because it helps them reach all of their students, who may have different hearing abilities. Kevin also notes that he has a hearing impairment himself, and that many other people do as well. He offers some strategies for communicating with people who have hearing impairments, such as repeating things louder, more slowly, and with exaggerated annunciation. Kevin emphasizes that it's important for people to be aware of aural diversity so that they can provide help and support to those who need it. ★ The world is built for people with perfect hearing — but 83% of people don't have it (segment on St. Louis Public Radio) https://aandp.info/08f ★ Aural Diversity (website all about aural diversity) https://auraldiversity.org/ ★ Aural Diversity Infographic https://aandp.info/kwe ★ Workshop on aural diversity (video from auraldiversity.org) https://aandp.info/c14 ★ Auphonic (online sound processing to make your educational media loud enough and clear enough for all students) https://aandp.info/auphonic [this is my affiliate link]

Deep Elaboration10.5 minutes This segment introduces the Deep Elaboration approach, which is used to help students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and students on the autism spectrum. The Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT) offers a variety of professional development programs for helping challenged students, and we are interested in these strategies for neurodiverse learners because they often work well for all students. A strong memory is one that is durable, flexible, and involves desirable difficulty to learn. Deep elaboration is the act of adding more information to existing information to create a more complex whole, which involves asking questions that help build deep explanations of core concepts. This approach focuses on the underlying principles and causes of the material being studied and involves a mechanistic approach rather than a teleological approach. ★ Fostering Deep Elaboration: A “trick” for Getting Info to Stick in Memory (training from Landmark College) https://aandp.info/au7 ★ Organizing Instruction and Study to Improve Student Learning A Practice Guide (free, downloadable book with many strategies [#7 is deep elaboration] aandp.info/fcs ★ Twelve tips for optimising medical student retention of anatomy (article from Medical Teacher)https://aandp.info/55l ★ Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT pioneers LD research, discovers innovative strategies and practices, and improves teaching and learning outcomes for students with learning disabilities (like dyslexia), ADHD, and autism, and educators in high school and college settings.) https://aandp.info/hrx ★ Desirable Difficulty (Episode 78)

Deeper Elaboration12.5 minutes In this segment, we suggest that promoting the think-aloud process among A&P students can help them better understand and make connections with the concepts they are learning. The think-aloud process involves telling themselves or being told to stop and think about why certain concepts or facts work the way they do, and to explain them out loud, write them down, or draw pictures to help reinforce the understanding. By doing so, students can identify where they are weak and need to ask more questions, and create an explanation or self-explanation for themselves. This process can also help students connect new concepts to their existing framework of knowledge and make future connections. We also suggest using concept mapping and running concept lists as physical ways to record and reinforce the think aloud process. Finally, we suggest asking deep questions that intentionally take students deeper than simple facts, such as elaborative interrogation, to better understand the why and logic behind the concepts they are learning. ★ Developing Intercultural Sensitivity (book chapter from The Handbook of Intercultural training; expands on concepts of intercultural sensitivity spectrum discussed in this segment) AandP.info/3pm ★ Uncertainty-Identity Theory (paper from Advances in Experimental Social Psychology) AandP.info/vq1

Example of Proficiency Grading8.5 minutes Here, Kevin shares some experience from his Pre-A&P course—which uses proficiency grading. Each student must pass a module test with a B+ or better (85% score) before the next module is unlocked, eventually unlocking the final exam. All topics in the course must have a B+ score before students can pass this pass/fail course. NOTE: The terms proficiency grading and mastery grading and related terms can each mean different things in different contexts. For the purpose of this episode, grading for proficiency means grading in a way that ensures that all essential objectives of a course are met at an acceptable level to pass that course. In other words, it's not possible to be deficient in any of the essential learning outcomes and still pass the course. ★ Success Supplements (recorded video seminar that discusses how Kevin's Pre-A&P course was developed) ★ Pre-A&P Foundations in Science (Kevin's course syllabus) lionden.com/fis.htm

Weight stigma among health professionals is a form of discrimination that can have serious consequences in the lives of people who are overweight or obese. These folks are therefore often pre-judged as being difficult patients, for example. Krista Rompolski joins us for a Journal Club episode, where we discuss a paper on how attitudes about large body donors may contribute to weight stigma among health professionals. What's going on? Is there anything we educators do to influence student attitudes?

| 28 Jun 2023 | Thinking New Thoughts about the Human Brain | TAPP 139 | 00:37:38 | |
In Episode 139, we explore a new discovery in nerve signaling in the brain called a dendritic action potential (dCaAP), we look at a whacky proposed model of brain function, and we share some ideas about how we can help our students understand the core concepts of chemical signaling and signal transduction in different contexts.

Dendritic Action Potentials11.5 minutes In this segment, the focus is on a fascinating discovery about nerve signaling related to dendritic action potentials (dCaAPs). These unique potentials occur in layers two and three of the human cerebral cortex and play a role in complex brain functions. Unlike typical action potentials, dendritic action potentials are graded and produced by the influx of calcium ions. They enable processing and decision-making at a more complex level, expanding our understanding of the human brain's uniqueness. ★ Scientists Uncover a Never-Before-Seen Type of Signal Occurring in The Human Brain (plain English summary of the new discovery from Science Alert) AandP.info/p08 ★ Dendritic action potentials and computation in human layer 2/3 cortical neurons (report in Science) AandP.info/g48 Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor
Transducer Model of the Brain9.5 minutes Join us in this segment as we challenge conventional models of the brain and introduce the transducer model. Inspired by psychologist Robert Epstein, this thought-provoking model likens the brain to a two-way transducer, sending and retrieving information like a mobile phone accessing external servers. While it may sound far-fetched—even quite wacky—the transducer model encourages us to explore alternative perspectives and consider the possibility of information exchange beyond the confines of the brain. ★ Your Brain Is Not a Computer. It Is a Transducer.

Chemical Signals & Signal Transduction13.5 minutes Chemical signaling and signal transduction play a crucial role in various systems of the human body. Understanding the connections and similarities between nervous and endocrine signaling helps students grasp these core concepts more deeply. By highlighting structures, functional aspects, and regulatory effects, instructors can foster a comprehensive understanding of chemical signals and the transduction of those signals. Exploring these core concepts within a broader context enhances students' ability to connect and apply their knowledge across different topics. Kevin gives examples of how he approaches this in his courses. ★ Big Ideas: The Essential Concepts of A&P | Episode 35 ★ Deep Elaboration & Other Stories of Teaching Anatomy & Physiology | TAPP 136 ★ Concept Lists Help Students Build Conceptual Frameworks ★ Star Power Helps Students Identify Learning Goals | TAPP 98 ★ Concept Maps Help Students Find Their Way | Episode 5

New Discovery about Plaque7.5 minutes In teaching A&P, it's not our objective to dive too deeply into pathophysiology. But we do use it as a tool to help students understand and apply concepts of "normal" structure and function. A new discovery about plaque's role in Alzheimer disease—or perhaps what is NOT its role—is a story that at once helps students make clinical applications, lets students know more about the vital functions of glial cells, and gives a glimpse of contemporary scientific discovery.

Memorization has gotten a bad rap recently. Lots of students, and even some educators, say that being able to reason is more important than knowing facts; and besides, why bother committing things to memory when you've got Google? My response to this - after I've finished inwardly groaning - is that of course reasoning is important, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't know facts as well. It's not like you have to choose between one or the other. Besides, facts give you a foundation on which to reason about things. (Stefanie Weisman)

Arm's Length5 minutes Two meters or six feet are often given as a minimum safe distance when distancing to reduce the spread of airborne viruses such COVID-19. As a practical guide, some sources state that this distance is about "two arm lengths." But Kevin questions whether "one arm span" may be what these sources really mean—and may be a better practical guide. Otherwise, people may be distancing at only about four feet and not the recommended two meters (6.5 feet)—about 60% of the most effective minimum distance. Because Kevin can never leave well enough alone.

| 02 Nov 2022 | Ten Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells | A Forest in My Office | TAPP 126 | 00:52:12 | |
We list ten things that we often forget to tell—or remind—our students about cells. We learn how to create a peaceful forest-like retreat in our office using soundscapes, I get my winter shorts ready (seriously), and Margaret Reece comments about teaching urinary concepts. That last topic spurs a rant from Kevin on diversity of course sections. 00:00 | Introduction 00:56 | Pee Again 07:46 | A Forest in My Office 13:54 | Sponsored by AAA 14:27 | Getting Out My Winter Shorts 17:31 | Sponsored by HAPI 18:02 | Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells 33:45 | Sponsored by HAPS 34:20 | More Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells 50:02 | Staying Connected

Pee Again7 minutes Reacting to The Pee Episode (TAPP 125), Dr. Margaret Reece explains why she thinks the urinary system could be covered far earlier in the anatomy and physiology course than is typical.

Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells15.5 minutes Here, we outline four (of ten) things that we sometimes under-emphasize to students in our A&P course when discussing cells: ★ Cell diagrams & stained specimens are best thought of as cartoons. They are simplified. ★ Cells are not multicolored, as they are often represented. They are transparent. ★ A fuller concept of the cytoskeleton ★ Molecular motors, which are part of the cytoskeleton, are the movers of cells.

More Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells15.5 minutes We finish our list of ten things that we often forget to keep in front of students as they struggle to understand cells and their characteristics. ★ Cells interact with the intracellular matrix (ECM). ★ Things are really, really, really—really—crowded inside cells. And this is a good thing. ★ Cells are not water balloons. Not exactly. Maybe a chunk of Jello covered in butter is a good supplemental example. ★ Cell processes don't happen in steps. Steps happen in explanations, not in the continous flow of living processes. ★ Cells make mistakes. All the time. Some are tragic; some are not. ★ Cells can take care of (many) mistakes.

| 24 Feb 2021 | The Proper Order of Topics in A&P | Leaderboards | Student Frustration | TAPP 88 | 00:43:05 | |
Ever wonder why topics in A&P seem to have a uniform order of topics in all the courses & textbooks? Host Kevin Patton discusses the proper order of those concepts. We continue the discussion of gamification, including a focus on leaderboards. And we tackle why pandemic learning causes students to lament that they have to teach themselves.

Pandemic Feelings of Learning8 minutes Applying what we learned from The A&P Professor Journal Club in Episode 83, we examine that common student lament heard while pandemic teaching: I feel like I have to teach myself! Just one element of the pandemic teaching & learning experience, maybe this one is partly explained by the natural gap between "feelings of learning" and "actual learning" experience when moving from passive to active learning strategies. Maybe.
