Hi all - Wondering what grade you got for people who took A&P1? Maybe it will give me some hope :)
Thanks!

I got A's in A&P I and II with lots of studying.I agree with the people who said attend every lecture. You can miss a lot just by missing one lecture. Attend all labs, and take advantage if your instructor offers extra lab hours.Flash cards were my best friend. I took them everywhere with me and drilled myself often and everywhere, the gym, waiting at the restaurant, etc. Scour the internet for good pictures, and if your teacher will let you, bring a digital camera to lab and take your own flash card pictures. Just the act of making the flash cards will do wonders in helping you retain the information.

I couldn't imagine having to miss any lecture in any of the science classes. It would have thrown me lightyears behind

WEll I took Anatomy and Physiology seperate.. my anatomy teacher was a nightmare from hell and pretty much gave everyone a C including me. I managed to get an A in PHysiology though. My big mistake was taking Anatomy and Micro at the same time while working 56 hours a week....... it just costs too much to live on your own in Orange County

at my school we did not have A&p 1 and 2; we had anatomy and physio as seperate classes. I got an A in both

I got an A in both. It was a lot of studying, but I did learn a lot! Good luck!

I received an A in API. I will take APII this Fall. Our classes only meet once a week so the 3 hours of lecture and 2 hours of lab are classes you just can't miss. Our instructor advised us to study 12 to 15 hours outside of the classroom each week, I thought he was kidding at first....he wasn't kidding, though! I really enjoyed this class and have the same instructor for Nutrition in the Fall.
I made the Trustee's Honor Roll this semester--4.0--very happy with that since I'm returning to school after 20some years!!

I also managed an A for both AP1 and AP2. It took hard work and dedication though. I never missed a class and studied hard. Good noted were key too!

I got a B( which felt like an A).... AP 1 is actually harder than AP 2 in my opinion. Just study hard and you'll do fine.
I agree. A&P 1 was harder than 2.. I think because in AP1 you start getting an understanding and are just learning and by 2 you have a basis of the subject matter, making it easier.

I received B's in all....Anatomy, Physio, and Micro. I knew I could have studied harder. Never made flash cards or anything. Now I definitely wish I studied more than I did. Its alright though.

Ok all of you just scared the pants off me. I take A&P I in the fall, I hope I do as well as all of you. I took A&P as a college course in High School, but since it was over 7 yrs ago my counselor says I have to retake it, but thats a good thing, I dont really remember alot of the info off the top of my head, hoping it will come back to me during class :) In a class of A&P I students do most get A's? or is it one of those classes with the average around C's??

I am taking a summer A&P course and just got my grade for I...an A!!! In my class I wouldn't say everyone got A's. I know that there were some that struggled with it. I will find out tomorrow how many will be back for the second half. You could tell who was trying and who wasn't. It was just as easy to tell who was doing well and who wasn't. Usually that was determined by how much effort people put into the class.

I took A&P1 in 5 weeks and with much hard work and dedication to studying I made an A. It is possible to make an A but you definately have to work for it.
