Anatomy and physiology for my summer course

Published

Hi. I am going to take A & P II over the summer. Its 8 weeks long. I have to make an A because my school, St. Pete College has a very competetive nursing program. Can someone who has taken this course during the summer give me some tips or advice that will help me? Im nervous this course will have too much material for me in such a short time. Im making an a in A & P I now. Thanks

I am also pre-nursing and face a similar scenario (competitive program & summer classes). What has helped me is putting in the study hours (2 study hours per hour in class) and consuming different types of media related to my courses. For instance I'll read the write ups in Khan Academy or watch youtube videos.

I strongly recommend the Integrative Biology 131 UC Berkeley playlist in Youtube. It's a series of 40 video lectures, ~45 minutes each that make A&P easy to understand. I play it in the background when I work around the house. Good luck to you !

Hello,

If you are sustaining an A in A&P1, you should be able to continue to succeed with A&P2 in the same school... as long as you keep up with the same level of dedication. Do not stress out. A&P2 is a continuation of the Anatomy & Physiology covering the areas you did not in the first part. That's all.

You can definitely do this !!! :)

1. Start making your notecards now! And start studying them now. I would contact the professor you will have for A&P 2 and ask them for last years syllabus or the chapters you will cover so you can start prepping. Even if the professor can't give you a syllabus, they can tell you which chapters to study. I would also check notecard apps/sites like Quizlet, MentalCase, and Chegg. They not only let you make and save notecards, but you can download other people's notecards. For a class like A&P, that tons of students across the nation take, it's a huge time saver to use notecards already made by someone else who took the class.

2. When class starts, organize a study group you can count on. Each person can be assigned to make notecards on a chapter and then share the notecards through an app like MentalCase, Chegg, or Quizlet.
