a&p 1

Soontobehope · Oct 14, 2010

I took A&P I online over the summer and am now taking A&P II online. I felt the same way when I took the first couple of tests but once I got the hang of the instructors testing style, I was better able to prepare.

I bought a book supplement 'A visual analogy guide to anatomy and physiology' which helped explain things in a way that helped me grasp the tough concepts. I learned that I could not depend on the lecture alone.

I also found an online resource at Kerry Henrickson. This instructor also has A/V lectures that are amazing.

Hope this helps!

The first test is always a real pain. Either you do well, or you do poorly. I wouldn't get discouraged if you didn't do so well. Just take a step back and think about the kind of questions that were asked on the test and switch up your studying to match it. Were these questions pulled from the chapter review in your book? How much of it was vocab? Trust me, I've had enough teachers like that.. and it sucks! But really, forget your previous score and just try to do better! I'm taking A&P I and we use a lot of online stuff for studying. A good site is Welcome to myAP!, though you have to pay like $20 for the site key. GL to you!

I would encourage you to meet with the prof privately in his office and go over your test score and express your concern to him. He may give you some helpful pointers on how to prepare for his exams!

Is this your first science class in a while? I think that can make things harder because science tests are just a different animal than the liberal arts classes! Try recording the lectures.. that should help a lot. If you have time, transcribe the lectures you've recorded. Hearing and writing it will help reinforce it for you.
