Welcome Dear Student

This blog was designed for the Biomedical Technology students at the Durban University of Technology, in Durban, South Africa. It consists of short notes on aspects that I feel that my students grapple with, and aims to provide a better explanation than that they would receive in lectures. It is also a very personal blog, where I feel comfortable 'talking' to my students.

overview after lecture one

Hi guys
So I probably left you reeling after such a long lecture; strange terms and a totally different language. Lots to learn and so much expected of you. I hope that everyone stays the duration of the ride, and if anyone is feeling left out or insecure, that they let me know. I can do something. There is always hope, never fear.

Some things i did not tell you. I expect you to re read all that was covered during lectures. I expect you to have a working knowledge at the following lecture of all that was discussed in the previous lecture. Don't know is not an acceptable answer for any question. At least try an answer, any answer. My door is always open for any student who wants to discuss anything. I am being paid to teach you. Make use of me.
Read read and read. Convert statements to drawings and convert drawings to statements. Teach your neighbour or uncle or dog about what you have learnt. If you can teach someone else, then you really know your stuff. This is also good practice for your project.
Enough for now. Exciting stuff awaits. Are you ready???????
