I love the gym, but working full time and taking science pre-reqs really cuts into working out. So on nights that I work and have class I just invest all my time doing stuff around the house and focusing on studying. On days where I don't have work I get my work outs in, and of course continue to study even more. Thats the only thing that works for me, otherwise I would be cutting myself short on my grades.

A&P is a course that requires time, I have met very few in fact I have never met a person who said they only put fort minimal effort to obtain an A in the course. With that know it may require lots of time and the best way to go about it is to utilize your time the best way, so know what works best for you and do not diverge. For instance, read the lecture chapter before going to lecture that way you kind of have an idea what is going on, that helped me. Also, take advantage of youtube it was invaluable to be able to break down the more complex functions in regards to physiology. If you have access to a study lab spend time there studying the anatomy aspect. It may seem daunting at first in fact I thought there was no chance I would be able to get an A in the course and I really doubted I'd be able to get a c at the start of the course. I eeded up with an A. If I can do it, anyone can. Just work hard, find out what works for you because everyone is different and stay motivated. Oh, and flashcards!

Hello all. First post here, but I've been a lurker for a little while. At any rate. We had our first histology lab the other day. To be honest, i'm completely lost. For instance with the epithelial tissue I cannot for the life of me when looking at the cell figure out what type it is. Everything looks the same to me. Honestly, this portion of A&P is making me feel like a moron haha. Have any of you struggled with this? How did you over come it. I'm feeling overwhelmed at the moment. I do plan on going to a lab touter class tomorrow, to try and help. I'm trying to keep up with all of the material as we have a lab exam and a lecture exam in 2 weeks on all of the stuff we've covered thus far.. and with this holding me back I don't have time to keep up with the other stuff I've been learning. I'm feeling stressed already. Thanks for the help.
