A&P 1 students,,,, How ya doing?

Ooohh, my gosh, I'm glad someone else feels this way. In my A&P class I sit near this cadre of older women who are obviously coming back to school after a long absence to pursue nursing, and they've all got this "I can't believe I have to DO THIS" attitude that drives me bonkers. Every time we hit a particularly detailed or complicated part of lecture, or he goes a minute or two over time, I'm surrounded by this chorus of irritated sighing. It makes me twitch.

I'm doing extremely well - 107% average, highest in the class - because I love this material, because I listen in class, I take great notes, I study hard, I come into lab on my own time to review... and they all just sit around and moo to each other about how HAAAAARD it is and how he goes too FAAAAST.

I'm going to be in both A&P 2 -and- microbio with a few of them in the spring... definitely sitting on the other side of the room.

I'm glad to see so many great stories in here, people doing really well! HOORAY to all of us who work hard, study hard, and see the rewards!

So far so good! Class average is a high C I have an A!!! Now if I can get my chem up to an A I would be great!

I just found out I got a C on the first lab practical that I completely forgot to study for. WHEW. I am happy with that. I thought I was going to do way worse. Plus, I still have a B in the class!

I am doing good so far, we have taken 2 test, and have gotten As on both, our next test is this Saturday on the skin, bones, and joints... Wish me luck!!!

I picked up Schaum's Easy Outlines Crash Course in A&P today. It seemed like it would be very helpful so I'm hoping that I'm right!

I have a high A average with I'm happy with. I took my 2nd Lab test yesterday over histology. 39 microscopes with different tissue slides, plus 41 general knowledge questions. UGHHHHH

We got our first lecture exams back today...I got an 'A'!!! I have earned A's on my three lab quizzes so far as well! We have our first Lab Practical Monday...have to know ALL the bones (their markings and articulations) and joints! I am mildly freaking out...but I know I can do it! Just have to refresh the bones (we did 2 groups (ie: upper appendages, then pelvic girdle and lower appendages) a week since the beginning of the quarter, but he just told us about joints today!! Any tips on remembering joints and type of movement allowed? Thanks for all your help! Keep up the good work everyone!

My teacher isn't making us learn all the bones and that's scaring me. I'm wondering what else I'm expected to know for NS that she isn't making us learn.

We had our 2nd lecture and lab test this week. Passed the lecture with an A, won't know the lab results until next week, but I'm sure I got an A, I think I might have passed with 100% so I'm anxious to find out.

It was on Bones, joints and muscles, a lot of material covered but very interesting. One more lab and lecture test to go and then I'm outta there.... Yeah baby!

I am doing quite well in A&P 1 this semester. I have a 100% in the lab and a 95% in the lecture. I did not expect to enjoy the subject so much, nor did I expect to do as well as I have been doing. I study hard and utilize whatever I can get my hands on that has to do with A&P. We just took our midterm last night in the lecture and I feel confident that I aced it. I haven't taken any "hard science" courses since high school, more than a decade ago. I have my BA in another field and never had any confidence in my abilities when it came to the "hard sciences" so when I had to take science courses while earning my BA I took the "softer" ones. It is thrilling for me to be doing so well now not just in A&P but also in Chemistry!!! I am trying to maintain my 4.0 GPA and have been successful this semester so far. Looking forward to Micro & A&P2 next semester!!! Good luck to everyone taking A&P1 this semester - if I can do it, anyone can. :-)
