Microbiology spring 2013

Published

Hey all I am taking Microbiology and A&P 2 for the spring of 2013. I wanted to open this thread to people who may be possibly taking 1 or both of these classes as a way to help each other out or give feed back. I am applying to our schools nursing program in May and these are my 2 last pre req classes :)

I wish all of you the best of luck in everything

Any study tips for Micro?

I read the chapters before I go into class thoroughly. That way, in class, even if the professor is vauge, you know what she's talking about since you previewed the material. I take notes during class and then re write them after class. This was I'm dealing with the material 3x a day.

I'm also taking A&PI and doing the same study method for that class.

Any study tips for Micro?

I plan on recording my lectures, taking good notes and then re-writing them when I get home and filling in the blanks with any relevant material from the textbook. Also, youtube videos are wonderful for any concepts that may be unclear.

I'm taking it this semester as well. I took A&P II last semester and got an A in it but it was difficult for me to get it and now with micro, there's no multi choice questions on the tests or bonus points so eeek! Lol I'm just going to study every minute of my day that I'm not working or sleeping. Also, I'm recording my lectures(I've always done that), and taking meticulous notes an also making index cards. Whew! :-)

How's everyone doing in Micro so far? I had my first test yesterday on 4 chapters, I managed a B. I didn't study as effectively as I would have liked to but hopefully I'll see where I went wrong and get an A next time.

I'm doing well so far!. I have A's in both lecture and lab. Got a 100% on my lab report on the Ubiquity of Microorganisms! Another test on Saturday (2 last Saturday). It is tough only going once a week.

Hi everyone! I'm taking history and micro this semester. My micro lecture professor is great, but unfortunately have a different one for lab. She has an accent, and is difficult to understand. Ask her a question, and if she's in a good mood she'll answer you nicely, but if not, she likes making you feel dumb for asking. Had our first quiz last week, and still don't know what I got. I hope to do well, wish me luck.

I'm like the last one to post on this thread, but I first took micro in fall '12 and didn't pass. I just finished re-taking the course during summer I 13', and passed with a 'B'. Microbiology does not come naturally to me at all, but I am so glad that I am done with the course. Actually, I am now finally finished with all my nursing prerequisites, and plan on filling out applications and sending in transcripts starting next week. Please wish me the best of luck!
