Is this a zombie apocalypse? Despite AMC’s Walking Dead being on my mind, this is just a picture from Neuropathophysiology. In this class, students learn about disorders of the nervous system and how these disorders affect the physiology of the body.
One such example is the study of gait (the stride or walk of an individual). As a teaching aid, the class was divided up into 7 groups to do a project runway. Gaits from hemiplegic (which may result from a stroke and affect one side of the body) to an ataxic gait (one seen from drinking too much alcohol) were demonstrated as best as possible by myself and other classmates. It was a fun class period and I am glad Dr. York uses such teaching methods to enhance the learning of an otherwise dry topic.
I believe that this style of learning is one example of why Sherman College is so great. There is a fair share of lecture during a given class period, but there is a heavily practical/get-up-and-do-it mentality to the material.
