Taking physiology during a 6 week winter session

Published

So I really need to take physiology. I took anatomy this past summer session (6 weeks) and got an A (90.6%). I don't think I will be able to get into physio for the semester because of my registration time. I have a better chance of getting it for the winter session. Is this a good idea? I don't work or have any kids, so I'll have all a ton of time to study. I know that physiology is way more complex than anatomy, but I feel like if I got an A in anatomy in 6 weeks, physiology might be just as doable in the same time span. Thoughts??

It IS waaaay more complex, and will be integral to everything you'll be learning from here on out, so you'd better be prepared to really grasp and retain it because you will be held to having a good working knowledge of same. Treat yourself to supplemental materials, lots of them, to be sure you soak it all in. (Strong recommendation here for the Physiology Coloring Book, no joke, to give your brain extra ways to think about how bodies do all their work, compensation mechanisms, and more).

It's totally do-able. I took physiology for 6 weeks over the summer. I thought it would be harder than it was. Only having one class allows you to soak it all in and not worry about any other subjects. I would do it again if given the choice
