You guys are doing better than me. My level of involvement is trying to remember to show up for our few required classes.
 
Sooooo - can't download online lectures OR use the built-in speedup function. Have to listen to lectures at 1x so I can make Anki cards later, or else I'll fall behind waiting for this crap to be fixed.

Extremely annoyed. #firstworldproblems

If they're flash driven, you can download a thing called "my speed" from enounce:

Unfortunately, they run on Microsoft Silverlight so MySpeed is a no go. However, a M2 cracked MySpeed for his class and shared it with us so it is of great help when we have online modules that run a bit.. slowly. :naughty:

I'm not sure I ever got a better exam score in undergrad. I love medical school!!!

The average was 87%. I've never seen an average that high outside of grad courses; I was totally expecting to bomb the first exam--like every med student in the allo forums did, apparently.

Yeah when I finished I figured I'd be mid 80's-low 90s. I was pleasantly surprised.

Too much redaction.
 
First test is tomorrow. I am totally not stressed about it and am just relaxing. I stuck around the anatomy lab to help a few people out but left shortly after while I suspect tons of people are going to stay the night there. I am so glad I was an anatomy TA during undergrad and already learned 80% of this stuff. The only things I really need to focus on is the embryology.

Speaking of which, I hate embryology. Who cares that the aortic sac, bulbus cordis, primative ventricle, etc. twisted to form a heart. I just want to learn about the (non-embryo) heart!

Does anyone actually like embryology?

Do you have to look at sections of embryos and identify the bulbus cordis, etc.....because that makes me want to pull my hair out.

I imagine neonatologists and other such physicians care. But really? Focus on that crap in fellowship or something.

Also, anyone have advice for learning muscle origins, insertions, innervations, actions, and vasculature other than flash cards?

I've had to alter my study habits, fell behind bc I was sick over the holiday wkd, and have an exam Monday. If my new method of repetitively writing them out doesn't turn out well, I'll have to try another method for the second exam.

P.S. We started at the bottom and now we here: TOP!

No. I feel like we are barely covering anything in embryology at all. Granted, my classmates may see it differently, but we talked about how the diaphragm forms in like 2 slides, how the great vessels form, how the heart forms, and septation of the heart. This was in the three days we had of school so far.

However, the class we had it in is not considered a lecture but a "lecture." It is just meant to give us some guidance for the dissection and some embryology to help us understand why things look the way they do. But none of it has been hard or challenging. Just the sheer quantity of stuff and the hours of dissection and "class" that makes it difficult, but since I have already known most of it I have gotten to sleep at least 7 hours every night.

Flash cards or just memorizing the structures in the cadaver and realize that the body is incredibly lazy and normally will innervate a muscle with whichever nerve is closest. Same normally applies with arteries.

For other classes, I like to use this sick white board table my library has and I just draw the stuff out many times. Using multiple colors is also awesome.

Embryo week was rough. Then there were like zero embyro things on the exam...

I am so jealous. We had a week solid embryo(weeks 0-8 in development) then in each of our anatomy sections(thorax, abdomen, etc) we have a lecture/lab on embryology and development. It is the the worst. Even histology is better.
 
Received an email yesterday from a diff school about an update email that I never sent. Uh... 😕

Flash cards, umich lab practical and written questions. Helped really get it to stick although insanely inefficient. Plan to switch to Anki next week, found I like actively quizzing myself. Good luck!
