Fourth Quarter Reflection

Fourth Quarter...

Before we even left for Christmas vacation, we knew that Sir Talaue would not be around anymore, and that Ma'am Cheng would take his place. The news struck us, and it got different reactions from the class. Some were scared, while some were starting to get a little nostalgic. Nevertheless, we all felt and reacted the way we did because we didn't know what was in store for us in the Fourth Quarter.

Fortunately, what welcomed us from our vacation was not scary at all. In fact, I found it funny that what we had to do for the rest of the quarter was to finish our requirements, while doing some activities. Of course doing the requirements was not the funny part, but rather the fact that Sir Talaue still provided the list of things that we had to submit by the end of our year. Mukhang kahit nasa States siya, masyado niya kaming mahal kaya pinadalhan niya kami agad ng requirements. Hehe.

The poster and Bioinformatics Activity that we had was like an extension of our Biology 3 class. We explored genetic disorders, their causes, and if there were any treatments available. We were also able to compare parts of the human genetic code with the genetic code of other animals. With those activities, we were able to see that genetic makeup serves a very crucial role in dictating if a human would be physically fit or not. Even miniscule changes could actually affect how your whole body might function (or malfunction...).
