My Cattle Test

My Test is created for a face to face conversation or even a demonstration. The way the test goes is I ask a question and if you get it correct you go one way and if you get it wrong you take a different route on the test . My test is created to test your knowledge about cattle so for example it would be for anyone that shows cattle at the fair or has any partake with cattle . I could not come up with the test online but if you would like me to demonstrate it in class I would be more than willing too . I have found a real similar quiz online that would ask the same questions as I include in my test .

welcome to the interdisciplinarity

In order to become a veterinarian I need to follow these specific steps:


  1. Train along side a veterinarian (internship): Help him/her prepare their equipment to perform treatment. Also take down notes to make the billing easier on the vet. Observe while the vet is curing or performing on the animal. And if you're lucky you may perform slight procedures. 25% of the accepted students to vet college had internships and so it will make you look more of a valuable student that they will want you to attend their school.  
  2. Attend college for general education
  3. Go to veterinarian college: First you need to obtain a bachelors degree, Second earn a graduates degree similar too medical school. You can pick and choose a major that interest you because vet schools don't require specific major to graduate. Now you are ready to attend vet school.
  4. Take a look at what classes and test you need to complete to get into vet college: once you look at the institution you want to attend refer to the classes they recommend you taking because each college is different and most have a broad variety of classes but only a few test they will accept. Most will accept GRE but some will accept the MCAT.
  5. Graduate from veterinarian school: You will have received your Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. Now you will look into Large Animal Vet school. Their are 27 in the U.S. but their are only a few dedicated to just large animal vets.
  6. Complete the residency program: This program will define whether you are going to become a large or small animal vet. Most students desire to work with cattle, horses and sheep.
  7. Take the North American Veterinary licensing exam: This 360 multiple choice questions test is only offered three times a year. And don't try and just wing it because it covers everything you have learned within your past 6 years.

LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL

Summary: As we read our topic we read
about one specific way the college board
wanted us to do things such as studying
& note taking ; students didn’t have the
choice to do in a way that would help
them out , which basically contradicts
what we’ve learned In this class. In this
class we learned that no two people
learn exactly the same. So, find a way
that works for you ! One thing that we did
agree with the college board on was the
SMART Goals . Your future is in your
hands, write down a plan that will help
you achieve your life Goals !

1. How To Study
· Don’t be limited! There are
many different way to
study so explore a few and
choose what works best
for you.

2. How To Take Notes
· Cornel Notes work for you
? Great ! It didn’t for me, so
I found a way that did.
** Bullet points,
summeries, ask questions,
etc…

3. Reading and understanding.
· Not everyone will
undersand the material so
consider doing
discussions . They will
help everyone get a better
understanding, even those
who did undertand.
** You will receive many
different points of views
· Don’t be afraid to ask
questions!
· ReRead the material as
many times as necessary
4. Research
· Research Different topics
all based on the same
topic. It will help you get a
better understanding on
what your subject is
actually about.
· Get research from more
than two sources that way
you get different
information and different
perspectives.

5. Reflection On Writing Process
· Like we said before ,
different ways work for
different people.
** Organization maps,
bullet points to organize
your thoughts,

· Different forms of writing
require different
organization and thought
processes
