Neurochemistry sounds kind of scary, doesn’t it? Well let me tell you that it was a great class. The structure and organization of the class created a great environment for all the students to have interesting dialogues. We learned about a neurological disease every week from a scientific literature standpoint. By doing this we discussed the paper in full, researched new topics relating to the disease, and had open dialogue to discuss the disease. This has been one of my favorite classes at Concordia College and any upcoming senior should definitely consider taking it. Mental health diseases affect so many people around the world and so many of our friend and family either know someone affected or are affected. By taking this class you can further your knowledge on these topics and develop an understanding and compassion for people that suffer from these diseases.
We also were required to do a community action project where we had the opportunity to spread awareness of a disease of choice. This was a great project that I had a lot of fun taking my time and effort to actually do something concerning a disease. I will miss the weekly couch dialogues every Friday and listening to everyone’s opinions. Thank you Dr. Mach for a wonderful experience!
