I'm really worried about AZCOM. I heard many great things about it initially but as I have spoken to some of their MS1 and MS2's, I'm a little worried to tell you the truth. With the monday morning exams, will we ever have a weekend in whcih we can spend time with our family or go shopping or some other fun excursion? I don't think going out on Monday and Tuesday is the same as spending a weekend. I know medical school isn't meant to be fun but I haven't heard of a situation in which all of your weekends are occupied? That really stinks because I wanted to have at least a few weekends each quarter where I can relax. If I have an exam each Monday, that means I will have to devote my entire weekend to studying. What about those who have families? How do you cope?
Also, how do you skip class if AZCOM doesn't give class notes. Powerpoint handouts are not the same as service in which students write down the notes and make copies for others in the class. I was disappointed to learn that they only give out powerpoints. I thought the school provided a note service. How do you avoid classes knowing the powerpoint handouts aren't complete? I wrote in response to what I read on the CCOM thread.
Don't mean to offend. Just presenting some genuine concerns I have and as always I'm open to any suggestions or corrections about some of the assumptions I may have. Every response is much appreciated.
