A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Just wanted to start a "club" for those of us who are taking A&P 1 this fall.

My class is 16 weeks. I have lecture on M/W/F for one hour each day and lab on Tues for 3 hrs.

My teacher for lecture & lab (same person) is awesome! She gives us a weekly quiz, drops the lowest one. Gives us extra credit. Four major tests. Final is comprehensive. (Ick)

She gave us handouts for chapter 1 and we just fill in what we want as she pretty much has everything she wants in these handouts. She told us we don't have to bring our big, heavy book to class - she'd tell us page numbers of tables, pictures she wanted us to know. As a matter of fact - she said we don't have to use the book that was sold to us for this semester. She said we could use any book like Saladin, etc., and make copies if any diagram, table is different. Pretty nice there.

Okie dokie - who else?

I don't even know if I picked the wrong answer on that Q or not yet. I'm going to try to review my exam with a TA next week, just so I don't make any same mistakes on the final. Then I can ask her about that question in particular.

Let us know what it is! I'm curious.

We are using the Marieb (sp?) book and I just signed onto their online site...Wow!! I am so excited. I can read the chapters online. This helps me so much to be able to read at lunch and during slow times here at work.Yipee!!

Yeah, we're using Marieb as well....I like their online offerings....but wished they had a real e-book, not just an online version.

Peace,

any of you have the link to your text books? I like our book so far it has lots to offer but would be nice to see other books and use their tutorials etc... too

Whew. We did the parts of the skull tonight. Now this class is getting hard...

We had our first lecture exam today too. It was easy! I think I only missed 1 or 2 questions...but who knows. He made it out to be really hard too! He asked a question about the G1, S, and G2 phases of interphase and I forgot to study that. Oops.

oh man that stinks I can't believe they make you buy it in order to check out the site, ours is free and so many helpful useful tools. I have lots of links to other books or schools I use to help study. Having it explained in a few different ways really helps.

We began Tissues in lecture this morning, and Bones in lab this afternoon..I'm hoping to start fresh in lecture now as my last 2 quizzes have not been up to par! I'm going to change the way that I am taking notes and studying, and see if it helps. Lab quiz today was over epithelial and connective and the quadrants, did okay, I think..Hope everyone is doing good!!

We got our first lab quiz back last night. I got an 11.5 out of 10 ;) I missed a half a point because I called the "rotating nose piece" the "rotating disk." oops. Darn microscope identification! :)

CuriousMe, I have the same book as you (the green Marieb with Serena Williams on the front) I was wondering if anyone else has trouble logging in. I sometimes get errors (usually about cookies) I have tried every possible setting in my IE browser. (and 3 other browsers also) I've tried shutting off my firewall and virus/spam guards, etc. I have baffled all the tech support people. (I found a back door into the site that they didnt know about) Unfortunately I can still only get in about 1/100 tries. Its an excellent site, but they have way too much security set up to keep people out. Its pretty frustrating since I paid for access.
