A&P I How's it going??

Published

I was just wondering for those of you who are taking A&P I this semester, how are things going so far??

Excellent so far, but that could change since things coming pretty quick now. Auditing Biology, a 'suggested' pre-req for pre-nursing program REALLY helped though. Good teacher before and now, and my A&P I instructor is interested in helpling students learn.

Hope things are going ok with you. If I hadn't had the biology this summer, which was a real load in 5 weeks, I'd be feeling like someone hit me over the head with a bag full of nickels. But our first 3 chapters up to now was our whole last biology semester, so things will start to venture into the unknown now :coollook:

Good luck and use technology to help you: and plan, plan, plan :banghead:

a&p i is going great so far! all due to alot of hard work, dedication and a great teacher! it's a very challenging class, but if you stay ahead, study and really take the time to learn it you'll do just fine! we just had a lab practical on all 206 bones and their indentations that was pretty challenging but i ended up with a 98! this class is really just more time consuming than anything, i spend about every day reading and studying! let me know if you have anymore questions!!

I would suggest talking with your instructor rather than web-ghosts. Drop date for audit has passed, but drop date has not. Keep all your options open, and remember that there is no 'one-way' to do anything. And nothing is ever wasted, its just different and the way it was meant to be for some reason we cannot comprehend (or I can't anyway) :specs:

So far so good! We'll be studying the muscles this week, so the class is going to be more challenging.

It is soooo hard. I never realized how difficult learning about bones and muscles could be. Anyway, I will get through this. My first test was really bad, but the next one was ok. Each one will hopefully get better. Anyone going to Valley College?

Well I guess I should answer my own question, huh? :wink2:

So far so good, but I minored in biology in college so if I were not doing well that would be a poor reflection on my university's biology department!

We just got back the first test--96. And 100s on all my labs...the next test should be a sinch as well. I'm dreading bones---mainly because they bore me --so that one might wrench me up a bit.

Best of luck to everyone!! Glad to see everyone is doing well so far!!

Specializes in PICU/Pedi.

Not bad, so far. Just alot of reading, and alot to remember. I'm doing good gradewise (so far), and am also taking microbiology and nutrition. I just have to study every day, and try to keep a little bit ahead of the lecture in class.

Just so much to remember other than that it's been going pretty good.

I thing I would suggest is picking up a cheap Essentials Of A&P Book. This is what's been helping me.

So far so good, depsite a really bad lecture professor. I've studied my butt off and managed to get a 90 on our first quiz and a 96 on our first test. We have our first lab test next week and I think that one will be far harder for me. I feel so much better after having our first test in lecture and acing it. When I started studying I was just sick w/ worry because the prof didn't really cover much and I didn't even know what to study (instead of just going through the book he jumped around to a lot of different chapters and only covered sections of them). Now that I know I actually CAN do this i'm feeling a lot better!
