I think you should pull in elements from your other courses into your presentation. In our discussion section on Thursday, we focused on the idea of endlessness and I do think that involves realizing that all of our college courses do not end once we take the final or even once we graduate. Before taking this course, I had a tendency to confine all of my courses and unconsciously emphasize their boundaries. I would count down until the day that the courses I disliked would end and dream about the day when I would never have to think about that subject area again. I think that's one of the problems that results from being premed and having a set list of classes that need to be completed: you tend to focus on completing that individual requirement and forget about how all of the requirements work together to prepare you for the medical world (maybe this is a hazard of having any goal and not wandering around without a purpose? ). While I did appreciate moments where all of my courses seemed to intersect, this class has enhanced my appreciation of those moments and has encouraged me to look ways in which ideas from one class apply to another class. Throughout the semester, I managed to connect material from two of my other courses to discussions brought up in Stories of Evolution. It wasn't actually until last Thursday's class when we were talking about accuracy, where I managed to link my fourth class (probability and statistics) with Stories of Evolution. That "aha" moment was certainly a rewarding moment. Learning about the limitlessness of undergraduate courses and how different, seeming unrelated courses can play off one another and enhance your overall learning experience is an extremely important lesson derived from this class which you should try to incorporate into your presentation! I don't know if this helped at all but nonetheless, I am sure you will come up with a great presentation!
