Before starting the course, my initial reaction was a mix of excitement and confusion. I have always been fascinated by the natural world, but I had some insecurites about science courses. I had heard from other college peers that science courses were difficult, and that the material was often dry and boring. I had a vague idea that science courses were only for students who were interested in pursuing careers in science and technology. Despite these reservations, I decided to enroll in the course with an open mind, hoping to learn more about the subject.

During the course, I found myself pleasantly surprised by how engaging and interesting the material was. The course was well-structured and presented in a way that made it easy to understand complex scientific concepts. I also found that the activities, lectures, and group discussions were valuable in helping me to consolidate my learning and gain a deeper understanding more on the subject. I remember feeling a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment as I completed each activity and learned something new.

Reflecting on my experience, I realized that my expectations were quite different from what I actually expected. I had assumed that science courses were dry and boring, but this course was different especially online. I also found that the subject matter was more accessible than I had thought, and that science courses were not just for students interested in pursuing scientific careers.

After completing the course, I found that my perspective on science had changed significantly. I had gained appreciation for the subject and a deeper understanding of the natural world. I realized that science was not just a collection of facts and figures, but a way of thinking and a method for understanding the world around us. I found that the skills and knowledge I had gained from the course were applicable in many different areas of my life. I had developed critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, and an ability to analyze data.

In conclusion, reflecting on our thoughts, feelings, and experiences before, during, and after completing a course can be a great tool for learning and personal growth. By exploring our reactions to a subject, our experiences during the course, and how completing the activities changed our thinking and feelings about the subject, we can gain a better understanding of our own beliefs and perceptions. This can help us to become more effective learners and more thoughtful and reflective students.

The jaguar is a large species that is native to the Americas, particularly South and Central America. It is a solitary and apex predator that has evolved to be one of the most efficient hunters in the animal kingdom. The evolution of the jaguar can be traced back to the early Pleistocene era, around 2.5 million years ago. During this time, jaguars evolved from smaller cats, adapting to their environments by developing their powerful jaws and muscular bodies. They became adept at hunting a variety of prey, including deer, peccaries, and fish. Over time, they developed a unique hunting style, which involves a stealthy approach and a powerful bite that can pierce through the skull of their prey. The jaguar's evolution has not been without challenges. As human populations expanded throughout the Americas, jaguars were often hunted for their pelts and to protect livestock. This led to a decline in their population, which has only recently started to recover due to conservation efforts. Today, jaguars continue to be an important and fascinating part of the natural world.

Hello my name is Brandon, I am studying Graphic Design at Miami-Dade College and this is my final semester here. I was born and raised in Miami my whole life, but my parents are from Spain. I am taking 3 courses this semester and hope for the best. I enjoy being adventurous, and having a good time. I like going to the gym, eating healthy, and being active. I also enjoy working and learning about cars.  I would determine success not only about money, but freedom. The world isn't free but also the world isn't all about money. Success to me is passive income while doing the least. Im not saying don't be a good worker or anything but a smart worker. Learn how the world and money moves. I see myself in the future working my own business, remotely, having the freedom we humans need. Also, I would love to live in Europe, personally I dont like it in the U.S.

The padlet I selected was Brianna Babot. I found her padlet interesting because she talks about the angel shark which I found cool. The padlet is also organized and easy to read through, using good images to help us understand what is being said. I found Brianna's passion for baseball pretty interesting aswell, she likes photography and is the camera person for the MDC baseball team. This grabbed my attention because I used to play baseball but lost my passion for it years ago sadly. Also have similar interest I am a designer and like to make things and also enjoy watching created film, which she is studying at MDC (Film Production). Other than that, she explains herself and answers clearly and easy to understand in her padlet.

The Jaguar is a very strong cat but also the largest cat in the Americas. I picked this species because I find it interesting that a cat can have very massaive and very huge dangerous paws. Despite this broad range, jaguars have been eradicated from nearly 50% of their historic range. Panthera created the bold Jaguar Corridor Initiative to connect core jaguar populations from Mexico to Argentina and we are leading or supporting efforts in almost a dozen jaguar range states.

The jaguar is a very rare and intresting big cat. They are found from Mexico all the way down to Argentina. They are usually spotted in a variety of different enviroments such as swamps, tropical forest, scrublands and even deserts. Jaguar's jaw is so strong they pierce the skull of their prey in order to eat, they eat other species such as capybaras, peccaries, and even alligators. Jaguars are the third-largest cat in the world and can weigh over 300 pounds. Jaguars play an important role in maintaining the structure and function of the ecosystems they inhabit. As top predators, they help to keep a balance in the food chain where they live, playing an important role in controlling the populations of other species and promoting healthy ecosystems. Therefore, a jaguar focused conservation strategy can serve as an effective umbrella for a suite of co-occurring species.

C.E.R is used to find out exactly how or why these things are happening in any experiment you are conducting. The claim is a statement that can answer the question without any evidence or reasoning. The evidence is the data used to support the claim (the support/backup). Finally, the reasoning is how or why the evidence may support this claim. C.E.R is used all around the world by scientists, mathematicians, researchers, educators, and many more. C.E.R is a cross-curricular thing, it is not only used for one specific subject like science. C.E.R is good to understand and learn because it can help you with anything you may want to find answers about, or why these things are happening. This will help you fully understand WITH support and evidence to tell you exactly why its happening. It can be used in daily life, and help you fully understand these procedures to better your view on the subject.

Feedback loops is a procces of the output that is circled backed to the input.Feedback loops can be either negative or positive. Negative feedback loops are self-regulating and useful for and maintaining an optimal state within specific boundaries. In contrast, positive feedback loops simply repeat actions that have been effective in the past. The intention of a positive feedback loop is to amplify a desired variable and naturally move the system away from its starting state to a desired state.

The pandemic was a very scary and hard time for all of us. Not only did it delay us in our everyday life, but it also took some of our loved ones away. The virus can be transmitted in many different ways, from other humans, or even animals. There are 3 ways we can get through the pandemic and the virus. 1 - We can race through it, 2 - We can Delay and Vaccinate, or 3 - Coordinate and Crush the virus. I think the best option is to race through it, because once the virus is mutated to a person they can't get the virus again. We also need to get together as a whole and tackle this virus so it can be gone for good. The video I watched explains how we can get rid of this virus once and for all so can can get back to our daily lives again without the precautious of the virus.
