hey SDN,
I am studying pathways in one of my courses, specifically those such as kreb's cycle, the 4 stages of the citric acid cycle, etc. it's been pretty easy memorizing it so far and I'm getting 100s on the quizzes. HOWEVER I am having trouble getting the whole concept down...meaning, I straight up memorized the products, intermediates and stuff but I feel if I get asked a question out of context that I am going to miss it because I do not have the big picture in my head at all. My whole class is struggling (it's a tough class) and I have asked but have found that others are also relying on memorizing. I just feel like I'm doing something wrong even though I am getting the highest grades, I cannot really "apply" it.
Any tips?!?! Thank you, brilliant students and doctors!!
