A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Just wanted to start a "club" for those of us who are taking A&P 1 this fall.

My class is 16 weeks. I have lecture on M/W/F for one hour each day and lab on Tues for 3 hrs.

My teacher for lecture & lab (same person) is awesome! She gives us a weekly quiz, drops the lowest one. Gives us extra credit. Four major tests. Final is comprehensive. (Ick)

She gave us handouts for chapter 1 and we just fill in what we want as she pretty much has everything she wants in these handouts. She told us we don't have to bring our big, heavy book to class - she'd tell us page numbers of tables, pictures she wanted us to know. As a matter of fact - she said we don't have to use the book that was sold to us for this semester. She said we could use any book like Saladin, etc., and make copies if any diagram, table is different. Pretty nice there.

Okie dokie - who else?

Catzy,

Thanks for the link. At least I can view YOUR book. Our website includes links to about 4 other pay sites, but I have to log into the first one to access the others! Well, besides your site, my book came with a really good CD that opens up yet another website which has some great animations, etc. There are so many great free sites, but it takes time to find them. Its nice to be able to share them here. (if anyone wants a really interesting chemistry site let me know)

Am taking A&PI. My Instructor is great. Am not as young as I used to be, am struggling a bit, w/ taking AlgebraII as well. I am 52, have ten wonderful children and 6 grands. Three still in the nest. Am excited to be finally in an A&P class. Can use as many links on A&P as I can get.

Thanks and good luck to all.

CuriousMe, I have the same book as you (the green Marieb with Serena Williams on the front) I was wondering if anyone else has trouble logging in. I sometimes get errors (usually about cookies) I have tried every possible setting in my IE browser. (and 3 other browsers also) I've tried shutting off my firewall and virus/spam guards, etc. I have baffled all the tech support people. (I found a back door into the site that they didnt know about) Unfortunately I can still only get in about 1/100 tries. Its an excellent site, but they have way too much security set up to keep people out. Its pretty frustrating since I paid for access.

Which site are you going into myA&P or anatomyandphysiology.com?

I haven't had any issues accessing the sites.

Peace,

Cathie

which site are you going into mya&p or anatomyandphysiology.com?

actually i have tried every possible link! they all end up taking you to the same website, but i can't get in through any of them. i have emailed them countless times and they keep sending me a generic set of instructions that i tried a month ago! (i don't know if they even read my messages) i used to work in tech support myself, so i tried just about everything before i asked for their help.....thanks for asking...i might have to use the computer at work or something.

Hi, I live in the virginia are and I am currently taking A&P at the norfolk campus I have dr. Sussman. May I ask who you are taking it sounds wonderful? Also at Norfolk campus they don't drop any lowest grades and no curving.

I'm taking it at the virginia beach campus with Ms. Homsi, she's a really good instructor for lecture and lab. The weekly quizzes are a great way to remind us to keep everything fresh for tests!

***matsgrl: i can't stay away from here, its addictive to read posts all evening!

oh and a great website for everyone who is studing the skeletal system these next few weeks is: http://www.bio.psu.edu/people/faculty/strauss/anatomy/skel/skeletal.htm (I apologize if its been posted already~!)

Thanks we start skeletal tomorrow! Just took my histo test this morning we could take it any time before 10/6 and I wanted to get it out of the way. We have a 2 chapter exam next saturday Cell form and function and DNA/Genetics going to be a biggy.

i'm taking A&P 1 for the second time this FALL.. I'm gonna need help :confused:

Thanks for the skeletal website...that is great!! I love things that I can print out and keep in my organizer for when I am stuck waiting in line somewhere.

Our professor gave us a great quiz this week and I think I aced it!! This is the same one that I had complained about. I figured he would ask esoteric questions on this quiz like on the last test, but it was very straight forward. If you had read the material it was easy. Every little bit helps in the chase for an "A".

Thanks so much for the skeletal website!!

Thats a great skeletal website I have been checking it already, We started our practical for skeletons on Saturday its got so much information, this website will really help. We still hav 2 more weeks of tissues too they are overlapping but I am trying to get a jump on things.

This past week has been to busy to post, and I just caught up on five pages of posts!! Glad to read you are all doing pretty well! My first lecture test if Friday and i am a little nervous...especially regarding the chemistry portion! I only have 3 tests and 1 cumlative final...yuck! It took me awhioe to get into a good study groove, but I think I have hit a combination this week that should take me through end of class in December. My test will chapters 1-6 !!!!!
