The course is VERY hard, yes. We need to learn a LOT and they chose to make it comprehensive. I know a lot of schools that skip over a lot of topics, but not our school. You are going to get out of it what you put into it and then some. its going to take up at least 1/2 of ur time. Learn to work well with others and learn to pick out the "doers" vs. those just trying to ride on the coattails of others (aka the "losers") cuz they will NOT succeed - trust me, we had someone that kept trying to cheat off others on tests and we practically ran in the other direction whenever she approached. People would tell me they would let her copy off them and i was like, "Why the hell would you do that?" HELL NO 
Make SURE you ask questions, especially of the API tutor they assign to your section. But definitely doublecheck everything the tutor tells you as they are stil students are well. Everyone is fallible. The lectures are going to consist of a LOT of notetaking and you are going to have to learn how to take GOOD shorthand notes. Even record the lecture if you have to, since im sure its going to be impossible to take it all down the first time. If handwritten (like mine was), make sure to go home and recopy your notes so you can study from them. Make sure to LIVE and breathe M238/the lab when you have any spare moments during the day. Believe me, the more time you put into this, the more likely you can get that A.
If by the Withdrawal Date you are not doing that well in the class, i would advise that you drop it. thats what a lot of ppl do.
I am not taking SCB204 (Anatomy part 2) till Spring Session 2 so I have a breather from it. but truthfully i miss the discipline that it brought me. I even attended two labs per week cuz i was confused by certain topics. I miss having the feeling of having really learned AND understood something, then being able to help my classmates if they had questions on things. its really interesting how good it felt.
no worries, once you go through this class, you will be ready to face ANY Allied Health class you will take going fwd. Believe me, its a good thing to know what to expect.
By the way, we used to make good use out of online tutorials and youtube videos and links a LOT. if you give me your email I can send you A LOT of information which really helped us out, esp with the practicals. I hope these can be useful to you as well 
Im taking Foundations of Chem now (SCC210 for Allied Health) and i think it will be okay. My professor, Dr. Amit Aggrawal seems really good and hes gotten a consistent high rating on ratemyprofessors.com. |
Great info!
Yeah - I have O'Kane for LAB. I definitely plan on sticking through this class and going to lab inbetween my classes. I have 2-3 hour breaks in between class Monday & Weds!
I am also gonna go to the library this weekend to look at those VHS tapes on specific chapters. My teacher says the tapes should cover any holes we may have had with him.
He also said that if we do Withdraw - to keep coming to class... haha. So cross my fingers I don't have to get a W!
you posted alot of useful stuff. I will live and breathe M238!
Send me those links for practicals. My e-mail is [email protected]
I added u on Aim too - dnbchick.

Besides, I'm already too tired from playing a neverevending game of fetch, why can't he make a list of demands instead of everytime I go sit down to do my own thing he forgets to tell me he needs something else. Grrr! *sigh* in sickness and in health
