- Junk DNA, or pseudogenes, is a rather abstract concept for beginning learners, so perhaps an analogy is in order.

The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is a graduate program for A&P teachers. A combination of science courses (enough to qualify you to teach at the college level) and courses in contemporary instructional practice, this program helps you power up your teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program. Check it out!

- Required prerequisites (we want you to succeed)
- A star, or other symbol—or even an emoji—can be used to code flashcards by:
- Star referred to as "five-sided" is a pentagram that can also be described as "five-pointed" ⛥
- It doesn't have to be a star. For me, it does—because I still fear being hit by a chalkboard eraser.
- Importance/priority of study (for test)
- Topic or type of flashcards
- Star referred to as "five-sided" is a pentagram that can also be described as "five-pointed" ⛥
- Using symbols can promote the practice of prioritizing learning tasks by prioritizing knowledge, making it a metacognitive habit
- Is it time to start using the emoji in biomedical literature? | The BMJ (umm, a journal article) my-ap.us/2TbF0cR
