It's not a cure, it's a treatment. Ketamine, I do believe, is an animal tranquilizer. Not being a veterinarian, I don't know much about that application. However, in humans it has shown tremendous benefit as an analgesic and

See, I've had the opposite experience. I can't remember anything from the vast majority of lectures - I either make notes, which means I'm missing material while I'm writing, or I don't take notes, and don't r

Yes, they invented the "problem-based learning" method/style, I do believe.

I would characterize that experience, instead, as very, very poorly implemented. A properly implemented "active learning" environment simply puts the impetus on the students to be pro-active. Whether that's buying outside m

I am 29 now, and I'll be 31 when I graduate. I just started 3rd year. If you're not familiar, after medical school (4 years), you have to complete a residency in order to become board certified. Residencies last anywhere from 3

Having studied both at this point, I'd agree. I think most of my learning in CS tends to be experimentation - write some programs, see why they don't work. Sure, there's some things you need to memorize and understand, but
