Westcott A & P

westcott A&P is brutal.  The lecture portion isn't bad at all because you can reference back to the quizes, but the lab...OMG. the videos are so fast with no context and the pics are blurry and off color.  the best way to do the lab is use quizlet and study the video stills.  The final is equally bad.  in the quizes you know what part of the body you are working on, in the final it will be like a super zoomed in picture of a vein, or nerve or you name it with ZERO orientation.  nothing. nada.  no, the head is this way, or we are looking at x body part... nope. none of that.   just a ultra zoomed in pic of a cadaver from the 90's with bad lighting and crappy cameras.  half the time dude in the videos wasn't wearing gloves!  I spent countless hours gooing over those video stills.  I got an a in lecture but failed lab so im about to take the final for the 2nd time in a couple days.  Im going to push through and do a&p2 but only because I've got the system figured out now.  The lab final is only 10 questions so there is no room for error..  it's rough.  It's like the hinger games of A&P courses.  

I went through Westcott and passed intro to biology, Microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was dying over the no gloves situation in the cadaver videos!

I'm not sure if you've taken the anatomy lab, but it is now 20 questions. 5 or 6 of mine were not even on the lab practicals/quizzes. That kind of frustrated me because I was getting 98-99% correct when going through my 473 question quizlets.

I'm doing principles of chemistry now and I am terrified of this final. I've received scores on my other finals to finish the class with an A, but chemistry feels like another language. I am not grasping the information whatsoever.

How long ago did you take the lab final?  This is my 2nd time through it and im severely putting it off because Im traumatized from the first round LOL.  Any tips on which parts of the body to study?  Im retaking the lab final 11/20

I took it last week! Questions about the lung, heart, random nerves/vessels in the (maybe) foot (that was one of them that I hadn't seen before), vagus nerve, back muscles and it's connective tissue, and spinal cord. That's all I can really remember! I got 70%. I believe it's a bank of questions so honestly you need to be prepared for everything! I was kind of thankful there were more questions because I needed a score in the low 60%. If there are only 10 questions, 6/10 isn't enough. I needed 7/10. With there being 20 now, I was able to get 13/20 and still get my A!
