Hey all! Studying for Micro and this is soo hard for me :( Especially online and taking care of my 3 month old during the day. Any tips are great! I have study group 101, flash card exchange (cram.com now) And Microbiology Demystified. Thanks so much!

I used the powerpoints from sg101, the excelsior practice exams and a couple books from my library. I basically studied the powerpoints from sg101 and practice exams and used the books to clear up parts I didn't understand.

I make my own flash cards. I take the notes, then write them as flash cards and use those to study. I know you are doing online so it's a bit different, but my instructor also gives us crosswords and stuff like that and uses the crossword hints as questions. So I purposely don't write the answers on there the first time so when I am done with the chapter I can try and answer them myself and see how I did. Micro takes a lot of studying. I probably spend about 5 hours a week out of class on it.

If you have a Moby wrap, that helps so much with the baby aspect, b/c the baby can be close and sleep, and you can get things done. :)

Taking the exam Tuesday (5 more days of cramming) all prayers and positive vibes are appreciated! This has been the hardest course I've taken so far

How much time did you take for Micro? I'm finishing up Health Safety now and taking Micro next. Good Luck with A&P, the exam wasn't too awful for A&P. I'm more stressed about Micro.
