Hello, as you all may know I'm half way through my A&P 1 class and so far so good, meaning I'm passing. But I think I'm going to repeat the class for a better grade. I'm seeking advice and suggestions from former students of A&P who managed to get an ''A''. I've learned so much already but there's a lot of information to cover. We are currently on unit 2 (integumentary, skeletal, and nervous systems). I have flash cards, barcharts, 2 A&P text books, etc. My whole objective is to learn and comprehend the material first and foremost and let grades will follow. I don't want to just memorize the material because that won't do it, I need to be able to apply my knowledge in real life. For those who made an ''A'', how did you do it? Any particular strategies or suggestions? I'm on the right track so far, I have a 3.5 GPA. I could use a little help right now.:wink2:
Well, you are obviously a good student, you already know how to get the grade you want. I see that anp can be somewhat different b/c 1. the info is a general interest to you, being a nursing student and all 2. the information is excrutiatingly important to your future as a nurse, so, obtaining as much info and as in- depth as possible seems to be the most logical...and it does.
I have chosen to keep ALL of my nursing books b/c of this very reason. I just want to get the best grade I can at the time it seems I am not really processing the information. This is why I am keeping all references for when I finally reach the two year program I can go back and review what I may have stored into my short term memory storage container.
