Something I can say in a course that I'd never say on YouTube
Hey Reader! I'm off work this week, my kids are with grandparents, and my wife is visiting her brother and sister-in-law. Just like Kevin McCallister, I'm home alone (but without the burglars and antics). Here I am in my office writing this email: Tory the Torso was feeling shy, so they're on the floor trying to hide from this photo. My main objective this week is to make headway on the A&P 2 course I'm launching in August. I'm about four videos into the first unit (endocrine system), and...
Free A&P 2 lesson + a look inside the course (23 hours left to join)
Good morning! There are just under 24 hours left to join my A&P 2 course this enrollment period (enrollment closes Monday morning at 8am Eastern). I know some of you are on the fence about joining the A&P 2 course, so I wanted to share a few things that might be helpful in deciding if the course is for you or not. Yesterday, I shared a nice review from Sarah, and while I have several more testimonials I could share, I figured it might be more helpful to give some sneak peeks into what's...
(48 hours left!) - From C's in A&P 1 to A's in A&P 2
Hey Reader! There are less than 48 hours left to enroll in my A&P 2 course, so I wanted to share this review I got from Sarah, in case you're in a similar situation. First of all, kudos to Sarah for deciding to make a change for A&P 2. She wasn't meeting her goals in A&P 1, knew she could do better, and got some help. She's also working incredibly hard. One thing my A&P 2 is not is a magic bullet that makes learning suddenly effortless. It still takes a lot of work, and anyone who says...
Lots of updates & new stuff!
Hey everyone! First, thank you to everyone who responded to my slightly-exasperated email last week. I appreciate all the encouragement, and it's nice to be reminded that we all have struggles and that we're all doing our best. Thanks for helping me not feel so alone :) A little different for this week's email. I have three updates/new things to share. A&P 2 Course Enrollment - Re-opening next week! 🫀 My top priority recently has been creating videos and resources for my A&P 2 course that...
Not sure which is harder, running a business or learning anatomy...
Quick heads up: This is a bit of a public journaling kind of email, rather than an email about how to learn A&P. Feel free to skip this one if it isn't your cup of tea :) ----- Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I'm...doing okay, haha. Ups and downs, as they say. My 3yo son just walked into my office as I was typing and responding to emails (currently 40+ unread emails in my inbox, so apologies if I haven't gotten back to you in a timely manner...) and asked, "Daddy, why...why you...
Your A&P textbook teaches this physiology concept wrong...
Last week, I nearly lost my mind... ...trying to learn a physiological concept. Can you relate? 😅 I've never had it happen quite like this though. See, I've been head-down, laser focused on creating videos and content for my A&P 2 course. It's a grueling pace to create the rest of the course: a new course video every 1.5 workdays. That includes studying, making the slides, animations, filming, and editing. And I was doing great, until... Blood clotting. If you haven't studied the clotting...
She was worried about the price too
Hey Reader! This morning I shared how much Sascha retained from the first few lessons of my A&P 2 course the next day (it was over 90%, if you didn't see that email!). This time I want to share a message I got from another student, Yamaris, who is in college full-time and wondering if the course was really worth the investment. Here's what she said: That feeling is pretty common. Course prices add up, especially as a student, and it's completely reasonable to pause on any purchase like this....
I didn't expect this email from a student
Hey Reader, A couple days ago, I got this email from Sascha, a student in the A&P 2 course, and I wanted to share it because it's the kind of message that reminds me why I'm building this course the way I am. "...a MUCH less stressful term." That's what I want for all of you taking A&P next semester. That's why I'm building this course and working to make it the best course possible. Here are a few things that stood out to me about Sascha's email: First, she just woke up, grabbed her iPad,...
I have a few people I'd like you to meet...
I remember a few years ago a YouTuber friend of mine asked me: "Have you ever thought about creating courses?" At the time, I was barely keeping up with creating YouTube videos, working full-time, and being a parent. The idea of creating a whole video-based course about A&P felt like an absolutely gargantuan, impossible task. He might as well have asked me if I'd ever thought about climbing Mount Everest or visiting the surface of Mars. Even now, it feels like a massive undertaking. But...
Is this actually for me? (and other questions you wanted to ask me)
Hey Reader! Hope you're enjoying your Friday afternoon (or evening, depending on your time zone) and are ready for the weekend 😎 As we teachers like to say, "If you have a question, ask it. Chances are, someone else has that same question too!" But when questions are asked via email, no one else gets to hear the answers. So I wanted to take a minute and share the answers to some of the most common questions I've been asked this week about my new A&P 2 course, in case that applies to you :)...
Why this student failed med school (+new YouTube video!)
Hey Reader! I posted a new video yesterday (which is performing well and getting tons of views! 🎉) explaining the ICT framework, which you may have heard me talk about recently. The basic premise is that there are three steps to learning something well: Input, Connect, Test Most struggling students skip the Connect step altogether. The students who are really floundering are skipping Test as well. I made up the ICT framework myself, but it's based on pretty well-known ideas in cognitive...
