Genetics
Handwritten Notes (I dated this range 1/18, but I'm pretty sure these notes carry through the next week because my next date in this notebook is 1/30. I did miss class on 1/20, but I did take notes for the week following, I guess I just didn't date them.)

The Beginning

Hi everyone!
If you've been linked to this blog it's because you're in the same Cell Biology class and/or Genetics class as I am this semester. I have a smartpen that (most of the time) records the lecture and my handwritten notes in each class. I have shared them with some other students this semester, but I thought I'd make it more centrally located so that anyone who wants to use this resource will be able to do so. I do have the capability to convert my handwritten notes to typed text, but for the most part I don't do that because it doesn't recognize some of my handwritten words and I have to do a lot of editing. If you're having trouble reading one of the handwritten notes, let me know and I will either translate or transcribe it for you.
The recordings come from my smartpen, and I find them very useful, especially in Dr. Stokes' Cell Bio class. The only drawback is that the pen is in my hand, so if I'm suffering from a cold or if I'm eating my breakfast in class you have to tolerate my many personal noises (I promise you they are not as annoying as a certain person who makes VERY personal noises in lab). There are a couple of recordings that are really obnoxious in that regard. Also, any comments I make or questions I ask, or wrong answers I reply with are recorded. So I sound like a perfect dunce. But it's all learning. I just wanted to give everyone proper warning. I plan to organize this according to class date so if anyone needs to go back and find something it will be easy to do. Leave me a comment or send me an email if you have any questions or need something in particular. I won't make you a sandwich, but I hope this does help you study for these classes.
*I wanted to also add the note that sometimes my recordings are corrupted on the pen. I'm not sure what's causing it, but there are a few days that the recording didn't work. Usually the written notes are not affected. I will note on those dates when it happens. There are a couple of other students who record the lectures as well, so maybe we can pool our resources and replace what I'm missing.*
**I occasionally miss class, if that happens, there won't be a post for that day, but I'll see if I can't find a collaborator who might share on here as well.**
