Carnivore Muscle Quiz@Miranda Senft or any other years... maybe @Caiter92? suggestions on studying the muscles for when you're at home and not with the cadaver?

The staff here and students said U of Minnesota has a website that’s extremely helpful.@Miranda Senft or any other years... maybe @Caiter92? suggestions on studying the muscles for when you're at home and not with the cadaver?
wtf do you do monday and tuesday if classes aren't until wednesday!?Orientation is done! Classes begin on Wednesday. As does our first cut into our cadaver.

S. L. E. E. P.
Do you really need to ask this? I mean, the answer is obvious.... enjoy every second of those final two days of freedom.
Does your school give you prosections (diagrams of muscles that you can color in)? If not, use the VIN 3D canine anatomy. However, some of the muscles seem to be an abnormal size compared to the cadavers so make sure you're looking at your anatomy books (LITTLE MILLER'S IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!)@Miranda Senft or any other years... maybe @Caiter92? suggestions on studying the muscles for when you're at home and not with the cadaver?
I mean like why have orientation that ends that far in advance of class?
Ours ended today too but we have class starting Monday.
Is Dr. Whalen still helping out in anatomy this semester? He's awesomeVCA is a great study tool. They also have the cat, cow, and horse but they’re not totally complete yet like the dog. I actually met my professor who invented it today, it was very cool.
Yeah he was there to show us how to use VCA, but I haven’t seen him since then. I think he said he teaches neuro(?)Is Dr. Whalen still helping out in anatomy this semester? He's awesome
I'm a second year, so I live a building away from you!Yeah he was there to show us how to use VCA, but I haven’t seen him since then. I think he said he teaches neuro(?)
Also, just curious what year are you vmh? Maybe I’ve seen you before
It feels so weird seeing how many people have already started classes, and my orientation hasn't even started yet...So just finished up my 2nd week and my first quiz!!!! Feeling good while exhausted and soooo ready for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg but why would you do thatI was shocked when I found out it was just a Midwest thing
Like what do you mean you don’t just say hi to strangers you pass in public??????
You don’t have a full on conversation! Just a hi as you pass by or a smile!!!!Omg but why would you do that
Grew up in the south (where that is also a thing) and am still uncomfortable with it. Must be my Yankee blood.

I do this sometimes if I am just not in the moodI stare at the ground so that I don't have to have this interaction. Because if you make eye contact you have to hi or smile and I don't wanna.
This sounds like a great idea, I highly recommend taking at least one night a week off from studying! First year I usually took Friday nights off since almost all of our tests were on Fridays. Second year I sometimes broke my rule because our test schedule was crazier, but you have to make time for fun things or you'll burn out quickly.3 of us with our SOs are going to try and make like weekly dinner on Saturday or Sunday night a thing. I'm optimistic for it to be a fun thing just worried once the semester gets started it'll be a bit much.
Welcome to itClasses start tomorrow
I feel the same. Orientation doesn't start until mid-September lolIt feels so weird seeing how many people have already started classes, and my orientation hasn't even started yet...
Really?! I feel that people in the Midwest are often fake nice. People can be really petty lol, especially with service workers. I lived in Indiana for 4 years and was so happy to get out of there.Midwestern niceness is a real thing. It's kinda shocking after going to undergrad with people from the NYC area...
If you want to take a break from studying, and have a laugh
What on earth did you already have a final in?Yay! First class done, first final done and passed!!
What on earth did you already have a final in?
@finnickthedog is correct we have a couple of year long classes but the rest are all 2-3 week long blocks. We just finished the first one called "veterinary sciences 1" it was a combo class of microbiology (intro, normal commensals, year two will have parasites), evidence based vet med (research techniques), and nutrition. So this was the final examWhat on earth did you already have a final in?

We start our next course Tuesday which will be behavior/animal handling/safety/welfare and biosecurity. It's called Animals in Society, and my wife always makes jokes about animals wearing top hats when I say the class name lol

So do you see that material again like a VS2? Which are your year long classes? Anatomy is one I would assume?@finnickthedog is correct we have a couple of year long classes but the rest are all 2-3 week long blocks.

Anatomy isn't actually. The rest of the semester are body stystem classes. 3 weeks each. Musculoskeletal, neuro, cardio, cutaneous, etc. So each body system class does its own a&p, lab, physical exam, radiology, case studies, etc.So do you see that material again like a VS2? Which are your year long classes? Anatomy is one I would assume?
InterestinggggIt's the curriculum of the future!
I think UF is similar, and Davis for sure, though all of their classes are in blocks.
I find thinking about functions really helps me. Where does this pull to do what it does? If this shortens what will happen?Tips for how to study muscle attachments would be appreciated!

I'm finding this is the best way to know or at least get close to knowing the insertion/function. There's too many to memorize!I find thinking about functions really helps me. Where does this pull to do what it does? If this shortens what will happen?
No problem @awesomenessity has some great posts in the 2020 thread about it tooI'm finding this is the best way to know or at least get close to knowing the insertion/function. There's too many to memorize!
Also @WildZoo and I think it was @SARdoghandler I saw you guys talking about anki somewhere. It's amazing. I love how it staggers your cards based on learning. Makes things not so overwhelming and crazy. Thank you!

I personally wore a dress at my blue coat so I could have some nice pictures. I saw lots of people at mine wearing dresses too, but some were wearing dress pants and a nice top. I would assume your white coat would be similar if the school hasn’t specifically said you need to be dressed a specific way.Classes start in two weeks . any advice for what I should do? I'm taking a short vacation and just hanging out but I wonder if there are things I absolutely need to buy or anything. What do people usually wear at white coats?
I figured it was basically just along the lines of "make sure you look nice". I went shopping but couldn't really find anything I wanted to wear or wasn't ridiculously expensive.I personally wore a dress at my blue coat so I could have some nice pictures.

Yeah, I don’t think you really need to go out and buy something new if you have something that’s nice like a dress you already own or whatever you wore to interviews (minus a blazer if you wore one because I feel like that’s not really necessary and also trying to put a coat on top of a coat probably would be harder?)I figured it was basically just along the lines of "make sure you look nice".
