Now, I understand why there are specialists for every system in our body. It's just impossible to master them all.
I'm sweating my cardiovascular, lymphatic, and immune system exam Monday. Cardiovascular is complicated of course, and lots of material to know. Lymphatic is easy and immune isn't too bad. My professor is the department head and his exams aren't the easiest. They're a mixture of comprehensive multiple choice, matching terms, and 3 essay questions. No matter how much I studied my notes, had it memorized, I still flub up on the multiple choice questions. Even the reproduction test, I know everything about that system but I didn't make an A on the exam. So I have a strategy worked out that if I know the essay questions perfectly, then that leaves me room to mess up on the rest of the exam.
Thank goodness the semester is nearly over.
Just the anatomy aspect, although we need to know the blood flow through the heart in the correct order..that's not hard. It's just the vessels, capillaries, and arteries keeping those straight, the layers they're composed of, and the conditions with the heart that is getting me. This is my least favorite unit. Next we have respiratory which I can do because I've had moderate asthma all my life, then urinary.
ReplyDeleteurgh, I don't envy you, I hate exams. Although with your past tales of school, I'm sure you'll do great. You're clearly determined to do it, not that that makes it any less painful.
