As a student in the Bachelor of Health Sciences program, I am required to take a course on Collaboration and Peer Tutoring (4X03). One of the main criteria for evaluation is my ability to communicate verbally and non-verbally (written, body language). In order to demonstrate my non-verbal communication, this semester I took upon the task of writing detailed notes that not only summarize lectures, but also communicate ideas and concepts discussed in my own words. Additionally, the notes also include analogies and other helpful information to help ease the learning process. I am now releasing these notes in hope that they may aid someone wanting to gain knowledge on the topics. PDF and online links have been included.

With the end of my second year of the Health Sciences program at McMaster University came a plethora of new information that I will no doubt forget in the coming months as I try my best to play a year’s worth of video games in four months, but there are a couple lessons I won’t ever forget. The first is not to procrastinate, because it comes back to bite you during exams; unfortunately, simply remembering this fact is not sufficient to get me to stop procrastinating. The second is the importance—the vital importance, of exercise in day to day life. It is one thing to have this repeated to you time and time again as we watch reality TV shows of fat people competing to lose weight, or doctors explaining that exercise lowers your risk of multiple age-related diseases, but it is quite another to have approached the effects of exercise from multiple directions, only to converge at the absolute truth that a healthy life and an active life are one and the same.

After many delays over the past few months, it looks like Discovery will finally take off from Cape Canaveral today. The launch of Space Shuttle Discovery at 4:30 pm EST officially marks the start of the end of the 30 year United States Space Shuttle program. The last two flights by Endeavour and Atlantis are to occur later this year in the STS-134 and STS-135 missions. With over 94 cumulative flights and 10,705 orbits, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour are to retire as museum pieces. Live streams of the event have been embedded in this post (Seriously, take some time to watch the historical event. You can play Minecraft later).
