A&P 233 at HFCC (HFC)

Hello! I'm attending Henry Ford College, starting a&p 233 this Monday. I was hoping there might be someone out there who has taken this class and can give me an idea of what to expect as far as difficulty. I just finished a very draining, unsuccessful Fall 2014 semester, bombing out of Chemistry, which was my last pre-req before I could apply to the nursing program. Now my application is being delayed until June and if I don't get a 4.0 this semester I most likely wont be accepted. Hoping to prepare myself better for Winter and build some confidence back up.

I took A&P 1 over the summer and then A&P 2 over the fall. A&P 1 is fairly easy, you are just learning about the systems of the body and you don't get very in depth with them until A&P 2. Study your notes for lecture and google quizlet and the chapter you are on online, because you can find a lot of good test questions on there. Some if not most professors use quizlet to form their own tests and quizzes. For the lab just study the models and your lab book pictures. A&P lab is just about learning models, you don't need to know the functions in lab. I am a visual learning but it also helps me to write things down. So I would actually draw the models on my own and label them. You can also use you cell phone to take pictures of the model and study because those models will be used for your quiz. I took A&P 13 years ago before I knew how to study and got a B in AP 1 and C in AP 2. After just finishing those two classes again this year so I could get into nursing school I got a 99% in AP 1 and an 87% in AP2. If you study you will do just fine. Best of luck to you!
