Reflective Journal 7

In the fall 2016 semester, kinesiology has been my most challenging class. My struggles have occurred in remembering the origins and insertions of muscles. I have been fine learning the bones but for some reason the muscle get me. At first I would just use flashcards that came with the book. This study method worked, but did not meet to my standards. I had to change the way I was studying. I tried writing out the muscles with the flashcards and drawing the muscles on my body. The next test I had much more success as I could visualize the muscle’s origin and insertion on my body. Now I have continued using this study method and my grades on each test are increasing. This class has helped me as a student, because it shows me that sometime your normal study methods will not work for certain classes. You have to adapt and overcome before you are stuck in a hole. This will help me further along the road on my journey to becoming an ATC.
