A look inside the human head was one of the demonstrations.
The price was about $60,000, but for courses in human anatomy the realism should make learning much more interesting that text books.
The human skeletal system can also be examined.
McHenry County College has bought a state-of-the-art machine that allows views into any part of the human body.
Want to see a side view?
No problem.
The male images are more detailed, but the female ones seem more than adequate.
One of those on the tour through the biology labs through if hospitals could use such machines to explain what was wrong with patients that it would be easier to understand than the methods used now.
What they should have done is focused on adding sections.
I have suggested this to MCC.
I had high priority registration and still couldn’t get in.
This class satisfies the needs of or is a requirement in health and fitness education, OTA, emergency services, and nursing.
They also want to start a PTA program which it will be good for.
Besides from Associate of Applied Science degrees and vocational certificates, there are transferring students who are in science/medicine who need this class.
This is $60,00 with no return on investment.
It simply aids in teaching, but people have been learning the subject just fine with books and CDs.
On the other hand, increasing sections would make the college money through tuition and it would benefit more students.
Students get discouraged if they can’t get into a class semester after semester and they may eventually drop out.
Having more graduates with higher paying jobs would also mean more tax revenue.
I hope the college thinks about these things.
