Your scores really aren't bad at all! I am currently in the nursing program, and we had to take A&PI and A&PII. In A&PI I got an A, but in the other I had a solid B. I remember complaining to my lab instructor that I was used to getting all A's, and that this B was really upsetting me. The words he said I will never forget because they're very true. He said, "What really upsets me about what you just said is that you should be learning for the knowledge alone. I know your program is competitive, but getting a high B is something to be proud of. If you walk out of this class feeling like you learned something, then we've done our job as teachers, and you should feel accomplished." These are the words I give to you. Don't be too hard on yourself. I also don't encourage the podcasts. If you're a visual learner, make sure you study lots of diagrams and models in lab, and follow that by hand-copying your notes and make flashcards. If you're more of a read/write learner like I am, just read the material over and over. It may sound crazy to keep reading those long chapters over and over again, but soon you'll notice that you understand it and you will make sense of it. I hope this helps, and good luck!
