About me

I am a second year BVetMed student at RVC. In my spare time I like to play the guitar and have recently taken up scuba diving, which I'm really enjoying and I'm hoping to go diving with seals later this year.

What I hope to get out of this project

A better understanding of the alimentary tract and getting to know the other people involved in the project.

My best learning experience in the past

I would have to say that my best learning experience has been going to university. I don't think I could have learned so much in such a short amount of time in any other way. I've learned to live on my own - meeting friends, managing money, cooking and scuba diving! I'm sure that the experiences and choices I've made I would have been unable to make had I not gone to uni.

Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)

Sections I've been working on

• Small Intestine
• Large Intestine
• Pancreas
• Peritoneal cavity

What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project

• The ability to collate information from different sources and put it into an accessible format.
• I feel more knowledgeable in the areas I have been working on.
• Working in a professional context.

Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee

• The server being turned off, and not being able to work!
• A shortage of images.

My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future

• Outline a format, and have everyone agree early on in the project.
• Name every page correctly, e.g. anatomy & physiology

What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future

• I would be very happy to work on the project in the future. I would be interested in writing up more pages.
