    @notola...I'm sorry you didn't do so well on the final...that was an extremely tough final! I honestly don't know what if I did anything different from others on here but for me, I just read all the modules and read the chapters in the book...highlighting and taking notes on anything that jumped out at me. Hope that helps!

    How did you do it! I studied my tail off for Pharm and did not do well on my final. I will have to take it over, so please share your study methods with me.

    Thank you. I am in my early 50's and feel like this is too much for me to grasp. I do not know if I am even going to keep going. Good luck to you, and I know that you will make it into the program this time around! As for me, I don't know if I am going to continue or not.

    How are you studying for you Patho exam. Please share .

    OK, I know I am beating a hammered nail, but...I shared a few questions from the exams with the phyisicians I work for...just out of morbid curiosity...and these are docs who have been in practice for 20-30 years - needless to say they were shocked by the answers...many of which I had correct, that she marked incorrect - her answers are too vague, some were out rite wrong. To quote one of my docs, "I wouldn't let your instructor near my patients..." Interesting huh?

    Can you please tell me how you are studying for the patho fe? Does it help to go over the old tests that are online and old Homework?
    Thanks.

    I agree about the Pharm final. I emailed the academic coach with rationale to back up my answers DIRECTLY from the book and our notes and havent heard anything back yet. Is our lowest test score or anything like that replaced or dropped in this course? I am frustrated as I have had an A the ENTIRE semester in this course and got an 85 on the final and it dropped me grade to a B. I emailed our academic coach about an explanation for the previous tests as well and have yet to hear anything. I have had a lot of online UTA classes and this has been by far the worst for communication purposes! But o well we are through it!

    Okay...are you kidding me?!?! Man...that is frustrating!! I am not sure if anyone noticed this, but questions that were thrown out from previous tests were on the final exam.

    And I am VERY unimpressed with the communication for the Pharm course. I will be mentioning that in my survey thing.

    That's awesome that you emailed her!!! Maybe they'll look back through the exam and give some points or throw the questions out all together.

    I recommend everyone who has an opinion about the questions on the final email our teacher & academic coach ASAP about it. That is the only way they know we disagree and they may not respond but at least they get our opinions about it.

    Agreed! I would encourage everyone to post them in Q&A AREA on our course... That way we are all afforded the opportunity to ask questions - and they are required to answer questions there -they can't ignore them there
