How to make A&P 1 more interesting????

MN-Nurse, ASN, RN · Jun 23, 2011

I'm retaking part one to get an A , I made a C the first time around. It's been about 3 years since I took it and Omg it is so boring to me!!!! I learn stuff better if I'm interested in it, but I just cannot get myself interested so of course nothing is sinking in. Any tips on how to survive this class??

Drop it and take a class (and/or career path) you find interesting.

Not an option for me, but thanks for the comment.

Ask questions. Why is it of a benefit for it to be this way and not like this? Why did we evolve like this? What would happen if something went wrong with this physiologic process? It is boring just to memorize things, and doesn't really benefit you. You need to understand not just memorize, asking questions of your professor and of yourself helps.

This is very true, and I've come to realize that. I loved A&P 2 but for some reason the chemistry part is just not clicking. I will try to use it in relation. Thanks!

I don't know how to make it more interesting but I absolutely loved both AandP 1 and 2. I was just so fascinated with the way the human body works even at the molecular level. (ok am I a nerd or what) I think the teachers that I had had a lot to do with how much I enjoyed it too.

I know I have not answered your question. Have you tried to go on line to check out some you tube videos. That really helps bring home some topics (ie: transcription and translation).

Hang in there!
