I just wanted to pass along an idea that helps me with my studies, in case it might be useful to anybody who isn't already doing this. I have an iPod (but any MP3 player would do) and went looking on iTunes for podcasts. There are some great educational ones out there! I have downloaded entire semesters' worth of lectures on A&P, for instance, and listened to them in my car driving to school, errands, etc. Hearing the same info I was learning in class but put another way was, for me, really helpful. I found that many times in tests, memories of the podcast lecture would pop into my head and lead me in the right direction.
You do have to kiss a few frogs to find the prince (a few next-to-useless podcasts but some real gems), but if you have a player, I highly recommend you give it a try. I'm currently working my way through a huge batch of micro lectures in anticipation of starting the class in January, and I really feel as though I have a head start.
