How many hours did you study A&P and what grade did you get?

I'm not sure what school you are attending, but at PCC they break up A &P into three consecutive classes. I just finished my second section and all I can say is be prepared!!! My professor advised us to study at least 35-40 hours outside of the classroom each week, and most people thought she was joking. However, I can vouch that it really does that much time to study and memorize everything. I got a B in my first section and an A in my second sections. However, half of my class in the first section failed due to lab class alone. Our lab tests consisted of 30 microscopes set up with slides and we were given just a blank sheet of paper, in which we had two minutes to recognize each type of tissue and spell them correctly. Seriously, be prepared it's like learning a new language.

We had that too in lab for a couple quizzes but for our lab practical exam we just had 4 dead bodies and pins sticking in their muscles and had to figure out what was what spell those correctly. It was hard because 92 year old dead women don't usually have very defined muscles. It would have been like learning a new language for me except that I took biomedical terminology for fun. It is neat to hear a word and be able to figure it out by the suffix, prefix, and root. I would suggest that class for anyone because it will help you in anatomy and physiology.

I studed an hour or less for A&P 1, well at first I studied for 2-3 hours and got 94 and a 96 for the first 2 exams and then my skin got worse (I have acne problem) and I couldn't focus.. so I didn't study at all and started to get bad grades for exams.

I ended up with a B which I am happy .. I am happy 'cause if i studied like I used to, I would have gotten an A for sure.

Maybe I should retake it and get an A :) Maybe if I get an A for A&P 2.. this will make me very happy to retake A&P 1 for a better grade. :) Bleh, who cares, I should be fine with a B. ha ha..

Aw, thanks! That's fine. ha ha. ^^;;
