I need some feedback before I register for classes next semester at my community college. I have taken the majority of prerequisites to get into my nursing program, likewise the only classes I need are Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, and Anatomy & Physiology. Just as I mentioned in my previous post, it's been almost 10 years now since I have been in high school (graduated 04). I'm so overwhelmed and confused as to which class or classes to register for the upcoming semester? Where do I begin?
Is there any other adult students, that were left with this question when returning back to school? Is there any good review books out there, that someone would recommend. I recently purchased The For Dummie Series (Biology, Chemistry, and A & P) because I read such good reviews on the books. During winter break I'm going to read and skim through all three. Lastly, a question on study tips? What worked well for you, when studying Bio, Chem, and A&P? I will give a little insight into my study regimen that has worked well thus far for me in college.
My Study Regimen:
1) Go to class
2) Audio Record all lectures with my iphone
3) At home that night, I listen to all lectures while taking detailed notes
4) On Saturday review everything from that week (notes, recorded lectures, read, etc)
5) Sunday READ ahead (chapters & material for upcoming week)
6) Before exams listen to all previous lectures (usually I listen to lectures while running or cycling) go over notes, lectures, handouts, etc.
* Note: I'm a auditory learner, thus why I record everything. I'm also a strong reader.
I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestion you can give!
