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?

thanks for sharing that one Cathie I had seen it before but didn't have it saved. if you go to the main page it has lots of goodies! It has a section on muscles histology etc....

I am finding the skeleton much easier then the muscles I am getting frustrated already with muscles because when your discecting you can't distinguish which muscle is where or how to even find them everything looks the same.

Anyone know of any good cat discection tutorials?

I just took my skeletal exam (too me one of the hardest parts of A & P), and got a 97. I am so glad, I looked over some of the tips on this site. It's going to be a little easier now that theres just a couple more tests. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks a bunch, I ll chekc them out for sure!

I talked with the lab instructor today and asked him if he could discect a cat for us and keep it on "display" so we could use it as a refrence he thought it was a great idea they have never done that before. Well nows a good time! I said I would be happy to help with the dicscetion too so I could watch hehehe.
