A&P 1

Published

Oh my gosh! Just finished up my first week in A&P 1, and all I can say is WOW! It is so much information and fast paced. I left feeling a bit overwhelmed. :uhoh3: Is t this way the entire semester? Any advice for me? I have went to one directed study session provided by the teacher. (She hires her own tutors that have had her class) I left there feeling a bit more confident. How has your first experience been?

Agree! Flashcards and writing my OWN notes, plus reading and rereading chapters were my life savers!

Instead of flash cards I prefer flash "notes". My A&P II instructor has a study guide/chapter outline for us already and I read the chapters in my book, take notes in lecture while recording them on my phone and then re-listen to them and look at my study guide and make notes on the side in a purple or pink pen and there's sticky notes everywhere on my 3 page study guide. Its kind of like my flash notes, lecture notes, and study guide all in one and I just take it with me everywhere I go. It rolls up nicely and fits in my purse for work. If there anything(fluid routes, cycles, etc) that you don't understand try to find a drawing or video that explains it, it really helps. Also doing the questions at the end of the chapters in your A&P book will help you to read over information to try and find the answers. My instructor say that our test material will mainly consist of the slides and question about them. So listen also to what they say will be on the test and any words they wrote down on the board or special emphasis they put on a word or topic. Good luck :-)

I finished A&P 1 this Summer (with an A!). But I would advice you basically the same as the other postings, flash cards or notes, outline your chapters in a neat binder, try to stay as organized as possible so the information can always be clear, try to continue to attend the study groups, and take this stuff wherever you go!! Always keeping it fresh in your mind, so when test time comes again, you will know you know your stuff! Be blessed and keep up the good work!
