About me
I have lived in England for a very long time but am originlly from the Czech Republic. I started at the RVC websiteat 2002, intercalated at University of Bristolin 2004/2005 . It seems like I have been at college for quite a long time now!
My passion are animals of all kind, especially my numerous pets. I like them to be my friends and partners, rather than just tools for fun. I have a soft spot for birds and often look after wildlife casulties. I also enjoy the countryside, playing guitar, fencing and have a now resting motorbike.
What I hope to get out of this project
Keeping my hand in the veterinary field.
My best learning experience
Natural horsemanship and anything hands on
Pathology that interests me
- Bone and cartilage
- Exotics, especially birds, in general
Pathology that is difficult
anything that is too much at once, a bit by bit can be managed
Day one thoughts
What (three things) I learnt today
- How to use WikiVet to a hopefully sufficient level
- Who to contact for resources when stuck
- Try to provide for different types of learners
What I still need to learn
How to combine the resources available to a useful outcome - working progress Issues about copyright
How I feel about what has happened today
I have a starting point and know roughly where we are trying to get
Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)
Sections I've been working on
What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project
- Spending time on a particular topic and trying to write it down in a logical manner with links to other existing topics is a good way to let things stick in your brain a bit better!
- Valuable time (for both me and hopefully others) while temporarily unable to continue with my veterinary studies.
- Better understanding of some pathology terms, I don't like writing down what I don't understand (not such a big issue with just reading it).
Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee
- Trying to standardise pages and topics as information given to us (incl. books) is very varied, may be someone needs to go over that at the end of bulk writing?
- It is difficult to judge how much is for undergraduate and what is a post graduate level.
- Copyrights over images again.
- What about 'special species' - incorporate them in, separate section or leave out?
My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future
- I feel the bulk of the text should go on first, then start adding stories, links, pictures, flash cards, concept maps etc. I think it would be easier to handle that way.
- Keeping a system within a particular school at first (for bulk writing) and let all the schools contribute to the extras.
- If we really want standardisation, it may have to be one or two people going over it all at the end.
What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future
- I would like to have as much involvement as possible until March 2008.
- From March 2008 the time I could commit would be a little patchy but I would like to keep involved, may be adding the 'extras'?
