As well as this, it is important because the research paper assignments specifically were very interesting to me and allowed me to take a deep-dive into the reperfusion-ischemic injury and how mitochdonrial transplantation can help in the recovery process of these types of injury. I feel like the research-oriented nature of this assignment helped me really put the course material into context for real-life examples, as well as tying into my other courses, since they&#8217;re very heavily research oriented, getting extra practice in was very useful, especially since this course doesn&#8217;t pertain to Psychology, where most of my research assignjents have taken place.   This course was very applicable to what I was doing in Psychology last semester since I was taking a neurology course and psychopathology, where there was some overlaps in this course (mainly pertaining to hormones). The packbacks were also quite interesting, since a lot of the questions that were asked I had to do research to answer those questions and they really got me thinking and there was just a lot of variety when it came to what was asked, which made that assignment type very fun and engaging to work on. All in all, I found myself enjoying this class a lot, it was very fun and I feel like I have grown exponentially as a student, especially when it comes to research-based understanding of biological sciences and having a lot more context into different research topics outside of my usual research focus on Psychology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The main thing that I learned within this course is the importance of research in science fields and being able to better identify good sources when creating research-based papers.
