One effective way to learn new information is to create an R-E-C table. A R-E-C table allows you to evaluate how new information... •reinforces previous knowledge •extends your previous knowledge •challenge your understanding Making a quick R-E-C tables is an excellent summary exercise to do right after a lecture or reading a complex book chapter. Placing new information in the context of your prior knowledge is helpful for learning, and so is evaluating what is still fuzzy for yourself. This is another example of metacognitition (thinking about thinking). Then read this passage from Variation in cancer risk among tissues can be explained by the number of stem cell divisions by Tomasetti and Vogelstein in 2015 (you will discuss this paper in greater detail during lab): "Some tissue types give rise to human cancers millions of more times often than other tissue types. Although this has been recognized for more than a century, it has never been explained. Here, we show that the lifetime risk of cancers of many different types is strongly correlated (0.81) with the total number of divisions of the normal self-renewing cells maintaining that homeostasis. These results suggest that only a third of the variation in cancer risk among tissues is attributable to environmental factors or inherited predispositions. The majority is due to "bad luck", that is, random mutations arising during DNA replication in normal, noncancerous stem cells. This is important not only for understanding the disease but also for designing strategies to limit the mortality it causes. 1. In 1 sentence, list and describe 1 thing that reinforced your understanding of biology or cancer. In other words, what is 1 thing that connected with your prior knowledge? 2. In 1-2 sentences, list and describe 1 thing that extended, or built upon, your prior knowledge. Your answer should address the following sub-sections. A. What is 1 thing that you learned that provided a more in-depth understanding of a concept related to biology or cancer? (1pt) B. Describe how this thing builds upon your prior knowledge. 3.In 1-2 sentences, list and describe 1 thing that you found challenging to understand or confusing. Your answer should address the following sub-questions: A. What was confusing or what would you want more information about? (1pt) B. Why or how was this concept confusing for your? OR Why would you want more information about this? (1pt)
