How to get an A in A&P

Published

Hello! I just wanted to share on how I got in A in A&P. A little background first so you can see what and how this class has fit in with my lifestyle. I am a stay at home mom of a 5 and 2 year old...some people might say "well yeah!, that's why she is getting an A!"...well not by a long shot!..I have to study around everyone's else's schedule so I study when my 2 yr old is napping (if he goes down for one) and mostly at night when everyone goes to bed so roughly 8 - 11 or until midnight-ish and get up at 6 to put 5 year old on bus. I am also taking chemistry and critical thinking. (And in high school i wasn't even close to an A student) So here is how I am studying. Now it really depends on your instructor if they hand out lecture notes at all....mine did and when ever we printed them off I immediately made those lecture notes into quizlet flashcards. Then I would go on youtube and watch anatomy gmc and mr. Fords channel. After watching the videos on the topics ( i bought barron's ez anatomy and physiology) i would read the chapters in that book...(this book has review questions at the end of every chapter and its actually easier to understand than your textbook)... i also bought (A visual analogy guide to human a&p) and this helps people that learn with pictures and mnemonics)...oh and by the way the coloring books are nice but I didn't have time to color and with the visual guide mentioned above i didn't have to buy them)..I also have a voice recorder and i will read off the lecture notes followed by my quizlet flashcards and then i would play them in my car or when im cleaning. So recap! Attend lectures/lab, make flashcards, record yourself w/ flashcards on voice recorder, you tube channels, the two books above (and your text book). Usually i am studying at least 30+ a week all together...but with finding a system that works well, the hours have been getting lower. Good luck to everyone!

Was the class hard even though you did a lot of preparing?[/quote']

You have to go into this class with a lot of determination. Failure is not an option.
