So, i am guessing we've all registered for our classes for next semester...i wanted to start a thread where everyone taking the course can come together to ask questions they need help with or just vent or LOL....watever the case may be...so if you are taking A&P 1 in the spring...introduce your self...
a. How many credits you are taking next semester
b. What part of A&P 1 you are looking forward to, are you nervous?
c. How long you have to apply?
d. Some random thing about you?
Lets gooooooo................
Check this thread for some amazing notes by a member.... Polka-dot.(You Rock!!)...for notes on A&P....and welcome to anatomy heaven...:)
I wasnt crazy about the nervous system either. You sure do have a lot on your plate right now. Lots of credits. You are in second quarter? So, you still ANS and Speical senses? What book do you have?
We just finished muscles and nervous system. We're using Martini's book - we're a bit behind since my prof was out for over a week last quarter, so we're catching up. We're covering the entire nervous system (we've got a while to go, unfortunately), special senses, endocrine system, and reproductive system this term.
I just had my last lab practical. It was hard...but that means there will be a nice curve on it! I'm so glad that I'm finally almost done. In just a week I will have successfully completed A&P I! Thank the Lord!

We haven't had a single test or lab practical this semester that didn't get a curve placed on it. Lecture curves are much greater than lab, but lab still has them for sure!
My professor only curve our lecture exams... for the lab practicals, he drops the lowest one since we are unable to make them up. I am at 96 right now. I have my finals next week. It is over the nervous system/brain/spinal cord.... so much info. Hopefully I do not bomb the test and bring my grade down to a B. I am worried about A&P 2... I heard from students taking it now that we have to do a lot of case studies for the lab part. Scary!!!
There's a reason my professor curves...she needs to in order for the class to have a decent average! (She considers a decent average to be 75%).
My professor apparently doesn't take that into consideration. Last semester for A&P I we had 72 students in our class. This semester for A&P II we had only 48, so that means we had about 20 students that made a D or below:(
Without the curve in my class, probably 3/4 of the students would be failing...and my professor can't have that because she would get in crazy trouble for having a failing class...so as I said...there has to be a curve. And also, she doesn't do extra credit really. I think there have been 5 points total, and it gets added onto your tests.

This is just ridiculous, for there to have to be a curve if 3/4 of the students are going to fail, the teacher isn't teaching very well, or he/she is making the tests near impossible.
