Hi all,

I attend has a school with a policy that requires a certain attendance percentage to honor courses in the preclerkship years, in addition to reaching certain academic benchmarks. I'm honestly doing mediocre bc I could be more productive outside of class. I would skip class but I know that my school looks heavily at the number of courses you honor and your STEP 1 score when determining AOA. How important is it, and am I better off just learning stuff on my own? As of now, I'm considering Rad Onc

STEP 1 > >> >AOA>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Honoring classes.

You make the call.

If these are lecture, and NOT lab or TBL/PBL sessions, what penal colony is this???? You're an adult learner and passive learning is not the best way to learn!!!

Sit in the far back and self study during lectures.

Win/win?

I bought a very small bluetooth headphone that looks like a hearing aid so I can study during the required sessions and still get credit for being there. Just a thought. It's a $20 purchase on amazon that might solve your problem for you haha

Thank you guys for the responses! Honestly, I personally felt like I was ineffectively studying while sitting in the back of the class.
