I would say spend a lot of time on finding a way to learn all of the material. For me it was flashcards- boring but it worked. I would make them the day after the class and carry them around all week studying them at any chance I got (ex the bus) un...

Wow! Just a bit of bragging here- I JUST got my final grade back from A&P1 and I got an A!! I'm so excited- it's especially nice since this course has been so hard and overwhelming at times. If you've been following this you may know that about h...

I probably wouldn't have done nearly as well in AP1 without flash cards- it's easy to study for the final if you can just go over all of your flashcards from the semester Also before big exams remember that they can ask for paragraph responses- know ...

wow- no worries about ranting it's good to get it out and that sounds like a really insanely busy situation I don't have kids so I can't really give you a lot of advice, but maybe you should try to initiate the 'I'm in nursing school so you guys have...

wow! amazing! I'm especially impressed because the muscles have ENDLESS amounts to memorize- great job!

I'm sure it's possible, but also crazy :) haha jk I just finished A&P and it was a lot of work- if flashcards work for you start them from class one so that for the final you can just go over all of them to study. I agree with the person who sai...

Hey guys! I'm officially done A&P1!! I haven't received my exam or lab exam marks yet but they're done and all I have to do is wait. I was so scared of the lab exam because last semester's average was 5 out of 15 (and it's worth 15% of our final...

thanks so much for your encouragement guys! I think the exam went really well. It took me almost 3 hours to finish (which was max time), but I think the majority of the exam went smoothly. Now I only have the lab exam left! Good luck to everybody!! P...

Oh man- A&P final tomorrow at 8:30am!! Almost unfair considering it's a night class. Anyone else going into exams soon?

just a note: in our A&P class we had to dissect a heart. If you don't get a chance to do this you can go to a butcher and BUY one (make sure it has valves) and dissect it yourself or with a friend who's in the class This will really help and you...

I would also say on thing, that seems self-explainatory but most people don't do it- Ask questions in class!! (or after class). I cannot say enough that your teacher will be the one writing your tests and quizzes- she'll know what you need to know. I...

take a realistic number of credits- balance out the 'hard' courses with the 'easy' courses because nobody has time to study everything (especially with 2 kids! wow!) I make flash cards and study them every chance I get- then when it comes to midterm ...

^^ that's too bad about the muscle exam- I too am having trouble with them- so many origins and insertions!! Good job on the lecture exam though! Keep going- not a lot left :)

I don't have a website, but I can honestly say that by the end of A&P it will be a lot easier to naturally say things correctly just from class lectures and reading- are you sure nowhere in your textbook is has pronunciation? most have some sort ...

^^ this might help you with human muscles http://getbodysmart.com/ but I don't know where you'd look for cat muscles- good luck

hey guys! It's only 2 weeks until the exam so I've been studying like crazy- I thought I'd share one of my resources: http://innopac.douglas.bc.ca/search/rbiology/rbiology/1,36,37,B/frameset~1174359&FF=rbiology+103+co&1,1, this is a link to o...

^^ thanks again for the support. I was originally hoping to be a public health nurse which doesn't seem to be too hard on the skin- even if I was in a job that didn't take an excessive amount of hand washing I would first have to go through nursing s...

thanks for the words! Trust me this has been a difficult decision. I hope what you say is true, although I've had extensive testing this is a chronic condition I've had since I was a baby and I've tried very restricted diets and specialist visits et...

nice job!! I got a high A on my midterm so I'm here to brag as well, haha The sad news is that I've discovered that I will not be able to be a nurse, so after this course I will unfortunately leave you guys. I have severe eczema on my hands (usually ...

After my midterm last tuesday we didn't have a lecture (and thus no lab this week either) and I've had the week off studying for a&p. I have so much free time that I barely know what to do with myself even though I have other classes- I can't ima...

Hey! If you know what textbook you are going to need you could get it early and start preparing- although you may not cover everything in your textbook so I'd stick with the basics like learning all the bones and the anatomical planes first. You have...

well it's 'reading break' so we get the week off for lecture and lab BUT midterms are coming up soon- there is always something to study for in this course! Any good websites to help learn bone formation? or any tips? I'm finding it pretty difficult ...

Yikes, I did my quiz yesterday and although I haven't gotten it back it was so much more specific than I thought it would be! Ex. drawing out dipeptide bonds and such oh well, I must have passed it so I'm not too concerned but that was the end of my...

It is really too bad that you can't wait to take the class later, but since you have to take it then you have no choice. you CAN get through this math class- it wont be easy but you can do it try to sign up for a one-on-one math tutor for at least an...

ugh- SNOW DAY that means 4 hours of lecture that we wont be having!! I guess we just learn everything in our course package by ourself? I don't really know the deal just mad because I was so ready for the quiz!! haha oh well, I guess I'll use today ...
