MacNurse, what level are you in? The A&P study idea is the exact same as what I did. Only I went a step further... I cut and paste the slides with words & little notes on one side, and without words on the other side.

Hi Again, I also did not have to do Psych or electives this past year. Although I have to do the rest of my electives, I got off easy for year one! I did take Abnormal psych in term 2 and it was pretty easy. I have 3 boys at home, so I couldn't even imagine working too. It would be too much for me. However some classmates without kids worked part time and they managed ok. I guess if you plan to do that then make sure you study weekly, don't cram! You just cannot cram A&P. It is a super time consuming class. Biochem was hard for me to grasp, but it was strictly memorisation, and once classmates and the tutor helped me "get it" I was fine. The info you learn in Biochem is only a fraction of what they expect you to know in A&P. There is going to be a new Dr. in charge of biochem this year so I don't know what you can expect from testing.... but last year they gave out old tests and practice with them. The University also offers student tutors (free) in the Learning Resource Center. I am sure it is the same at CoMac.

I am a MoMac Student, just finished level one. My opinion, don't try to study now. You will be frantic enough come September. Take the time to keep up with A&P, it is the toughest course in year one. I was a mature student with no knowledge of science, so I can relate. I was very nervous about soaking up information, passing... etc. Ask for help from your peers, make study groups, and post questions on learnlink if you need help, the Dr's who lecture are always checking & answering questions. I tell you the questions on A&P exams are your weaknesses personified, so try to understand those concepts. Good Luck!
