Grrr! *sigh* in sickness and in health :clown: |

yes same text for lab and the lab book is that BIGGG book, CAT version. Yes you'll be dissecting a CAT, funnn.
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 :mad:
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. |

M238 is also great cuz u run into SO many ppl who have taken the class before, ive gotten so many tips from passersby on how to deal with the class. also keep in mind that the person in charge of the LAB can also do some tutoring as well (while it be on a dissection or on models while you are there. Always ask for demonstrations, the more help you receive the better you will do)>
Heheh, we all need to help each other. seriously.
great, ive added u too. I think i had you under my old buddy list in the past. but now its on my current one :) |

Are you taking classes this semester?
I think I am over doing it with this science. But - I am gonna try my hardest. Granted the other classes aren't SO hard.. it's jsut some time I have to put into them. ;/ |

| phoenixBEBE |
yup, Chem SCC210 and ENG 101. I am also going to volunteer at a nearby hospital or work part-time once i figure out the courseload for these two.
i just applied for Fall 2009 candidacy yesterday so I am really nervous. I need to ace these two classes this semester, then take SCB 204 and MAT 106 in session 2. :nervous: |

I am taking Abnormal Psy and Intro to Socio along with my other pre clinical - NYC Community Health.
;\
Intro to Socio isn't part of my major but I wanted to go full time and that is a class that transfers over if I go to York College after this (only school in CUNY that does OT) ;) |
