Week 2 of 22
AUGUST 31 TO SEPTEMBER 1
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
Straight into safety. Personal protective equipment, then the Safety Data Sheet, and we had to find the hazard and first aid sections on a real chemical before we were allowed near anything.
Notebook setup and the portfolio system. Everything I make this year lands in one place with a date and a label, or it does not count.
We listed every kind of medical intervention we could think of, then sorted them: prevent, diagnose, treat, replace. That four- way split is the shape of the whole course.
First portfolio submission plus a WebXam pretest, cold, in week one. I did badly and so did everybody, which was the point. It is a baseline, not a grade.
I want to go into medicine. I am not sure which part yet, and I have stopped apologizing for that.
