Fall 2012 A&P2 students where are you??!!

Published

Hello everyone, who has started A&P 2? I know we can all use support from each other. I for one have started class and my first day was yesterday. The syllabus doesn't look to bad. I just hope I will enjoy this more than A&P1. Organization is the key to our success and having a memory like an elephant wouldn't hurt either! Lol!!

Got our Exam 2 scores back and happy that I got a 96%...yay! :D So far, so good. We had to type up a formal lab report and cite references in our last lab. UGH! I hate typing formal papers, so tedious!!! I'll be interested to see how our prof scores our reports. We really didn't have any "rules", per se, other than "you should know how to cite references appropriately". Well...there seem to be 25 different ways to cite references, so which one is it? :facepalm:

This has been a great semester so far. Our Physiology prof is excellent and I always look forward to her classes. We barely have to use the book (kinda feel like I wasted $350 on the text!!!). As long as you take good notes on her lectures, the quizzes & exams contain no surprises.

I'm am doing the Happy Dance that we're on the home stretch for the semester to end....yay!!!!

I envy those doing good! I blew it for exam 2.. got a 66%. I studied 2-3 hours a day.. I Thought I did good. I think it is my instructor. She's kinda new at teaching and she's asian, so it is hard to understand sometimes. I always watch videos to learn more. The questions she give us are confusing. No wonder why we avg 70-75.. It was the hardest exams of all as she mentioned. I am sure most of us didn't do that great.. we'll see on Thursday ;\

I'm sooooo ready for this semester to be over. We have to write yet another paper next week. UGH! We haven't even received the first one back yet. I'm glad this class ties in so closely with Pharmacology and that the order of the systems we're covering coincides with the drugs we're studying in Pharm, or I'd be completely lost in Pharm right now. Less than 2 months to go...yay!!! :D

I'm taking Physiology (at my college they call it that and not A&P2) and so far it's been good except the last lab test. I get my score next week and I hope it's OK and maybe I can get middle to high A's on my next lecture tests and bring it up. My scores for lectures have been much higher than my scores for my labs. Luckily there are 4 lecture exams and only 3 lab exams, so that should help! It helps that I have a Supplemental Instructor (like a tutor assigned to the class section) who is great at essay questions for the exams. It's really fun and interesting to me, but challenging!

Got my formal lab report back today and was shocked. No one in the class got higher than an 80%. I was really upset about this. That was a 3 page paper in APA format and we followed every detail of her handout. If she wanted such specific items mentioned in the paper, she should have let us know in the criteria she gave us. We had few little instruction other than "you've written a scientific paper before, right? Good, I don't need to go into detail about it". :rolleyes:

Well, all I can do is ask her a TON of questions before the next one is due. Just when I was feeling like Phys was a breeze...

Wow!! Soprano sorry to hear that. We had one to do as well. I chose the ECG lab report we had. She should have been more specific.
