"Rigor Redefined" -Tony Wagner & "The Difference Between High School and College" -Jack W. Meiland10/1/2017 An instance from high school where I learned a topic well was in my Sports Medicine class. The topic was learning how to wrap injuries such as a sprain or strain on the foot or hand and other parts of the body. I learned the different proper steps of wrapping and taping by listening my teacher explain every single step and while watching her do an example on one of the students’ foot or hand. It sticks out in my mind because it was one of the classes that I had fun in and it was an unforgettable experience. The class was also easy and it was hands on. The experience reflects on how I learn by being a visual learner and also an hands on learner where I get to do it myself. In “Rigor Redefined” by Tony Wagner, he talks about critical thinking and problem solving. To relate this topic to what I learned in class, it is important to know what to do when you are wrapping in the class and in exams. Being able to think and wrap in the proper steps is important to understanding what is being taught. Collaboration and leadership also relates to my topic because it is important to work as a team with your partner when wrapping their foot or hand so nothing bad can happen such as wrapping too tight and your partner does not say anything about it which can end up cutting the blood circulation. Adapatability is also useful because each week we obtain new partners, so it is important to be able to be flexible with your new partner and be comfortable in touching their feet and hands. Oral communication is also important in wrapping because your partner can give feedback on your wrapping skills, correct you if you are doing the wrong step, and tell you if you are wrapping too tight. In “The Difference Between High School and College” by Jack W. Meiland, he mentions that the method of study that is commonly used in high school is by memorization and formulas. When I think of how I had to remember how to properly wrap someones hand or feet for our finals or just during practice I had to memorize the steps to be able to wrap properly and correctly as a professional would. Meiland also mentions the difference on how college professors and high school teachers present. I believe there is a huge difference because in high school, teachers are able to help students more better because there are less compared to college where professors have to be seen during office hours.
