The First Final Stretch

Finals are just around the corner, so this week's lecture load is light. Just tons of review. I've been reviewing repro with a classmate and she's making dinner tonight (with garlic bread! Yum!) and I've been going through all my neuro notes and making up test questions for myself (it worked well last time).

Histo is a lot of information, but manageable, same goes for anatomy. The profs give us review questions and chapter objectives, which really help. My goal is two B's and two A's this semester, or please please please at least one A.

So what am I going to do to prepare for the final stretch?

Anatomy:
- Review the head and all the charts regarding foramen, muscles, etc.
- Review the chapter objectives at the start of each lecture and make sure I can 'splain them thoroughly

Neuro:
- Write mock exam questions for each paragraph of each chapter and answer them
- Review charts an drawing of pathways (especially cerebellar)
- Review case studies

Histo:
- Review the learning objected listed for each chapter
- Look over images in the powerpoint slides
- Review the embryo images online and in the hard-copy "embryo atlas"

Repro:
- Review lecture notes/power point slides
- Review chart of sex-related hormones
- Write mock exam questions for each lecture and answer them

Now that it's in writing, I have to do it. And just doing it is half the battle. . .


Oh crap. . .I just remembered that the claymation version of "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is on tonight. I'm gonna miss it!
