About me
I'm Alex, a 6th year vet at Cambridge Vet School and I am one of the members of the WikiVet community. I'm here today with Tim Scase who is a pathologist up at Cambridge. His work can be found here.
What I hope to get out of this project
I'm here because I think that the Wiki Vet project is a marvelous idea to integrate the pathology content of the vet schools to provide a common source of resources for all vet students, residents, researchers and practicing veterinarians. I hope to be able to build the backbone of a system that will grow and evolve as time goes by and look forwards to creating a new and innovative system of learning.
My best learning experience
I learn best when I'm able to put in to practise what I am being tought. My best learning experiences have therefore been on my EMS where I have been able to perform operations, euthanasias and other wonderfully useful and interesting procedures.
Pathology...
...that I like
I'm interested in most aspects of pathology and appreciate cardiopathology the most.
...that I dislike
I can't say I'm particularly great at neuropathology and would benefit from additional teaching and resources in this field
Day one thoughts
What (three things) I learnt today
- Individuals require differing processes of 'learning' to achieve understanding and competency in a subject.
- An indvidual who is forced to learn using a method that is refractory to their way of thinking will only achieve limited gain from a resource.
- I gained confidence in using the wiki editing style and managing file uploads and pictures.
What I still need to learn
As we go along we need to learn to make sure that we don't turn this into a text only site and bring in other methods of displaying information.
How I feel about what has happened today
I'm enthused and very eager to get cracking - I wish I had more than the 2 weeks!
