I'm a visual learner so along with the visual graph, the different colors made it even more easy to follow.

I really liked the organization of this video and the visuals. It was much easier to understand the follicular phase when you drew it out as you explained the process.

Any visual representation is super helpful!

Thank you for making this video, I was really confused about this during class, but being able to watch the video a few times really helped to clarify how this process works

the graph you made is much easier to understand than the one in the powerpoint, thanks!

One of the best short video so far, right to the point.

I found the graph within this video very helpful! The graph helped me visualize how estrogen is connected with the spike of LH and FSH. Being able to visually see everything made it a lot easier to comprehend.

As I watched the video, I remembered a presentation on fem-tech by one of my classmates. Ovulation-tracking apps have had exponential growth, the women’s health app market is worth billions. Great video, great notes.

im having a hard time understanding these different cycles and i like how these videos are broken down into different phases and cycles so that i can just focus on one part at a time

I liked the use of the graph to map out hormonal changes during the follicular cycle. It really helps make clear what is actually happening during the cycle. - MA BIO 327 FALL 2019

Clear and concise video! I'm glad that you drew the image as you described the process so that we have a visual!

Your explanations are 100x better than any other sex ed class I have taken in the past! Being able to watch these videos after lecture have been so helpful for me. I am able to retain the information so much better. Thank you!

This video was very informative. Important not only for med students but for everyone to understand the ovarian cycle.

It's nice to be able to look up your videos when something is difficult to grasp.

I really like the length of these videos because it’s easy to remain focused on it the entire time without feeling like it’s dragging on

Your use of the graph to demonstrate the types and levels of the hormones was helpful. I was confused in lecture, but after watching your video it makes sense.

I learned something new from this video and it made it very clear and easy to remember. the illustration also helps tremendously.

Very well explained! After reading a lot of material on this I was honestly quite confused, especially over the "spike" which happens in the FSH. The video clarified in a simple way how/why this happened, as a "trigger". I am impressed to how the subject could be so briefly and informatively explained, thank you!

This video provided a lot of information and gave me a better understanding of all the hormones involved in the ovarian cycle.

This video made the concept easy to understand and visualize!

Great explanation of what happens during follicular phase and how positive feedback is generated! Many hormones are presented, good thing is I can always pause the video and take notes.

I really like that you include drawings for everything that makes it easier to understand. I love drawings when learning.

This is very helpful as it explains the function and the role each hormone plays in this cycle. Thanks!

MEDA 55 & 115 Spring 2021 - Irene Tan: This explanation helped me understand the material while being visually drawn - I like that it makes the table in the text make sense.

I like your graph to explain your topic. I used to confuse about monthly period , but now I can understand it .

Great job explaining this, I like how you explained how the hormones were secreted as well as the amounts at each time.

Being a visual learner, I really glad you did these type of lecture videos especially in an online class it helps out people who would rather be in a classroom setting

Your diagram is very helpful in trying to understand this phase in the ovarian cycle.

it's really great to have this video available for me to watch over and over again to be able to fully understand it.

I'll admit, this topic was a little rough for me to grasp. I appreciate how the video made it easier to understand where the spike of LH and FSH were!

These videos help me further understand the concepts discussed in class in greater detail.

I was confused about this topic when we talked about it in class. Being able to pause and play the video at my own pace has really improved my understanding!

The visual for the hormone pathway and the graph are helpful in understanding the follicular phase.

The way you explain these methods are similar to the way you lecture in class and I thank you for that. Makes reviewing a piece of cake

The graph was very helpful. I was getting confused with what hormones actually caused what in this cycle! Thanks

this was an extremely helpful visual for review, thank you for the consistency

This video helped me understand the function of FSH and LH. I was confused prior to watching this video. You made it very clear.

While just passing this chapter it’s helpful to get a better understanding on it and to just learn more.

This video helped me a lot with the graphs showing the simultaneous rise of LH and FSH and how that corresponds to estrogen levels as well. Thanks for sharing

Very helpful video! Showing the different levels on the graph really helped me understand the Ovarian Cycle.

I was confused during class but going tonight office hours and watching this video helped a lot.

MEDA 55 spring 2020 Great explanation makes it easier to understand.

This video really added to the lecture in class. Great use of visuals.

I think it is important to continue repeating the hormone secretion pathway so that we can understand how it plays a domino effect in the whole reproductive system. I also like how you draw the same graph from your powerpoint.

The visuals are great! Will definitely recommend this video to my gal pals. It’s a great video to learn what is actually going on inside of oneself

This is another video that should be mandatory for sex ed classes as women (and men) aren’t taught about HOW a period actually works. Knowing when a woman is ovulating could help prevent unwanted pregnancies and also aid in fertilization when a couple is having problems getting pregnant.

I was really confused on this topic in lecture, but this video has helped me understand it more!

I didn't quite understand this in class but the graph you drew and the way you explained it on the video really helped me!

I like the graph you set up showing the different hormones from one another and their various levels during an ovarian cycle

Thank you for going over the function of FSH and LH, I was a little confused on how that played a role in the cycle.

Very clear explanation of what occurs in the follicular phase and which hormones are associated with it

Hearing this information another time made it helpful for the exam. straight to the point!

I feel a lot of the class was confused when going over this in class as it was a lot of information to process in little time, thankfully this video went over everything we need to know to understand the ovarian cycle follicular phase.

This was helpful in distinguishing which hormones play a part in stimulating ovulation and how the others have an effect on the them

Thank you for your videos, professor! The visual helps me a lot in study!

This video was helpful in making the concepts more simple and clear. Your explanation was very good.

Great video! there was a lot of information but it was easy to follow with the diagram

The explanations of the rise and fall of the hormones was clear, but it would have been interesting to see how the stages of follicular development lined up with it.

Great explanation of the ovarian cycle! I was a bit confused about this cycle but after watching the video I understand it a lot better

First explaining how the hypothalamus secretes FSH and LH in two different ways, side by side (graph and drawing) helps me understand how the positive and negative feedback works even better then I did before!

It is very interesting to see this phase visually. Reading it was a little tricky to fully understand. Thanks! (BIOL 327, Section 03)

I really liked how you explained the ovarian cycle. I feel as if the female reproduction system is much more complicated than the male. The interactions of LH did help me understand more. Mallory Gladden (Bio327 Student)

i find the graphs you draw while you speak very helpful and helps me visualize when LH/FSH spike and what results during that spike.

Very informative video! I am a visual learner, so the illustrations help a lot. Thank you!

Having the hormones and sex steroids on separate graphs but still next to each other made this easier to comprehend. Also going over the importance of positive feedback in this certain case.

This video helped me understand how the release of FSH and LH contribute to the ovulation production as well as the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. Reading about ovulation in a textbook can be really hard to follow but diagrams help to explain the changing hormone levels. Thank you! Bio 327-Fall 2019

I enjoyed how you went into depth for this topic. It really helped with my overall understanding of the material.

I learned a lot about the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle I forgot that if LH was too high it would cause negative feedback so that was a good reminder

Wow! Definitely helped answer some of my questions and made it clear to me. Or maybe from reading about the Hypothalamus prior and seeing this visual made it easier to connect-- how the hormones actually work.

This was really helpful in explaining exactly why and how the oocyte get into the fallopian tube.

Thank you for explaining the function of FSH and LH because I was a little unsure of what their main function was.

I really enjoyed this video, hearing it again outside of lecture helped understand it more.

Charting it and using the graph for a visual helps visualize the roles of the hormones within the cycle to fully understand what is happening at what time.

thank you for the video! a visual representation really helps for understanding the follicular phase

I enjoy your videos because you make the concept very simple to understand especially when you incorporate the drawings

I like how you used graph examples with labels for those who learn visual and verbal

I would really like to see a diagram laying out the hormones and stages of follicle development side-by-side because I am a very visual learner, but I liked your explanation of hormone interactions, especially LH.

Very insightful! I didn't know an LH surge was the result of positive feedback. I thought the only positive feedback that existed was when in labor since oxytocin and contractions continuously encourage each other.

Interesting that estrogen causes a positive feedback loop in this system, nice illustration of the spike in LH and FSH

This was super helpful because in class i was a little confused as to what the significance of the Lh was with the ovarian cycle.

I missed these videos prior to my exam, and realized that following his diagram and flow of phase was easy to follow compared to the articles I read.

BIO 327 2019 The ovarian cycle is one that I found to be somewhat confusing because of all of the hormonal components. However separating the two sections of the follicular and luteal phase. Also learning more about the functions of LH v FSH helped a ton! thank you!

Awesome video! Short and to the point, thank you for the information.

Great review for what was said in lecture.

Wow there are so many things I didn't know about my own body. There are so many hormones and steps involved just the ovarian cycle.

Very clear about the different phases before and after ovulation. As a woman I definitely learned something new about these phases and what hormones are used during those phases. Bio 323 Summer 18.

MEDA 110 Fall 20: Breaking down the different phases and cycles helped understand ovulation and fertilization.

Insightful new concept to me in all honesty, are there any future plans to go over other phases within the Ovarian Cycle?

I enjoy having the videos because sometimes reading the textbook just does not cut it for me. I understand the function of FSH and LH a lot more now.

okay but if i hadn't watched this video before the midterm I would've been so lost. So, THANKS

This was probably the most unclear part of the reproductive chapter for me, but the visual you presented here definitely put it in better perspective for me to follow and make clearer notes from.

BIO 327 Fall 2019 I feel like I'm understanding this so much better from your videos. I hope they will help for the finals as well. Thank you

watching these videos provides additional information to the class lectures

BIO 327- The drawings, the colors, and explanation of topics reminds me of kahn academy, good informative video.

It was kind of hard to see the pink marker when you stood behind it. Also, it would be nice to have a key of the hormones on the side since you abbreviate so many in this video.

I finally better understand this concept, thank you!

such an educational video

It was much clearer when you divided the diagram in half, the top with anterior pituitary and the bottom with the sex hormones.

I think this a difficult topic to understand, but the picture is helpful to understanding the follicular phase. I think this topic could have benefited from a bit of a longer video and more written explanation on the picture, especially when you were discussing the feedback loops.

Thank you for this video. learned alot
