A & P study ideas

I'm sure this is posted somewhere but I just started my class today. I only have class two days a week so there's a lot of teaching myself basically. I know flash cards will help for some stuff and writing the notes more than once and such. What are some other ideas that have helped you be successful in A&P?

Repetition, talking to your self outloud, writing notes over. For me, i took good notes, then rewrote them in nice color coded order. My prof gave us study guides each unit and posted online pdf's of our models, posters and tissues we needed to identify. I literally made 10+ copies of those, identified everything and the function. I wrote out physiology processes numerous times and studied with a classmate. You need to find a method that works for you and stick with it! I was able to get A's in both anatomy courses. Good luck!

For the gross anatomy portion of A&P I made animated powerpoints with pictures from the text that had boxes that covered what each part of the body where that disappeared when I clicked, so it was like an interactive quiz. I emailed it to myself and used keynote on my iPhone so I could use it to study wherever I went.

If you want them, you can private message me your email address and give me a list of the systems you're studying and I'll forward them to you. You can print them as well and use them as study sheets to practice with by filling out with a pencil.

when you learn about the body systems.. try to understand how they work together.. by making stories about the organs... I remember organ functions and how everything works together and why..... making everything into a cartoon character makes learning fun! :D

Oh that would be awesome. Even just one for an example would be great.

I recorded my lectures, that helped a ton

Glad you like them -- feel free to give them to others in your cohort. They're really useful if you download keynote for iphone or powerpoint for android/windows phones so you can quiz yourself anywhere you go. if anybody else wants copies, PM me.

Keynote the one that's $9.99 or am I looking at the wrong app?

Yep, looks like they started charging for it now. I'm pretty sure at one time it was free with a lot of other productivity apps, because I didn't have to pay for it.

You can also use them in powerpoint on your computer, but the portability and ability to study anywhere (waiting in lines, on the toilet, etc) is really useful. Just remember, they're animated powerpoints, so you have to play them from the beginning instead of just looking at it.

Okay, just wanted to make sure before I paid for it. Thank you!

Let me know if you have any questions or need help with it.
