(but he's recording them and they'll be on the final lol)
Same for UW Madison! This weekend will be interesting with watching recorded lecture and prepping for 3 exams next week...
Uggg. Our missed class material WILL be on our Friday testMy histo prof emailed and the three lectures we're missing due to school being canceled won't be on the test on Tuesday and I've never been more relieved.
Everything for us got moved around and squashed into Thursday and early next week so it can still be on out midterm 😢
Welp tomorrow is cancelled too so no idea if we have a test Friday. Would make sense imo to cancel exam and use that time to make up the classes missed, but who am I to say...Everything for us got moved around and squashed into Thursday and early next week so it can still be on out midterm 😢
Which means we have I think 7 physio lectures, two imaging lectures, and a histo lecture next week now instead of very little right before the exam
Same same same. I’m dreading it. 2 exams the week after tooI have 3 exams and a quiz this week. Just took a practice exam for the one on Monday and failed.😆
YOU GET PRACTICE EXAMS?!?!?!?!?!I have 3 exams and a quiz this week. Just took a practice exam for the one on Monday and failed.😆
You seriously don’t have them? That’s mega bull****
Yeah I have 3 more I can take but I'm using that tomorrow for group study when people can explain things about the heart I don't understand. Also I would rather have multiple exams over the semester than one mega or two that determines my whole grade.
I just haven't studied very much. I've been very lazy like I get home at 5 alot this semester and by the time I eat +/- showering it's like 7 and recently I've just really wanted to sleep. I get home and I'm so tired-doesn't help my back has been out for 2 weeks off and on so literally sitting in lecture literally hurts. Also my lack of studying was not supported by the fact that I didn't study that much for anatomy and pretty sure I did well above passing on it. Immuno I've had before so it's less incentivizing to study. Then I just have physio, neuro and path. We haven't done much in path or neuro so literally that leaves physio so I just have no motivation and now I'm going to learn as much about the heart as possible in the next ~32 hours before my cardio exam. I have made poor decisions
Magical unicorns (sorry it's so big)
Try not to beat yourself up too much. It's hard to go from sitting in lectures all day to studying. I don't really know how to solve that problem either. If I had figured that out I might have done better last semester lol You just do what you can while maintaining your sanity.
Lol no
Yeah um
Oh hey I feel you. Definitely get up and do a lap at every break if you don’t already. Helps make it more manageable for like a solid 10 minutes which is nice.
Yeah our third year is like that. This is the first year they are almost 100% using exam software in the third year for the medicine courses. It's been an experiment for sure and it sounds like they are probably working down the years soon with exam software becoming more usable etc. Until then though I'm using everything available to me.
It's not just medicine. Was everything but pharm and two SA tests because the prof teaching those sections refused to learn it. Sounds like they might be switching over to second years using it too next year, so you might get the fun 😛
I knew it was the majority of your classes minus like one person because they refused but I didn't know specifics. Ew well as long as they get the kinks out of it I don't really care as I know your class had alot of complaints about the number of questions coupled with certain exams that were pass or fail the course plus just not knowing alot of what was going on gradewise it seemed when they talked about it at the faculty-staff meeting. They could just do it for everything except those two classes. Sprunger is teaching it this year. Rumor has it she's thinking of retiring I assume after this year but I'm not sure. I hear lots of stuff through the grape vine but hardly ever know full stories.
ha, you're fine. They didn't tell us crap about it until a random email during the summer saying to register because it would be used in "some" of our classes, and then suddenly it was all of them and we were like ???
Yeeeeeep I’ve also been seeing a Chiro (found a new one here this semester, I did not like the last one I saw here). First week back after Christmas I was in so much pain that I couldn’t concentrate in classAlso yes I've been getting up and walking during my breaks. I was severely out a week ago-couldnt even bend over to tie my shoe without almost crying. It felt like some one had taken my hips and rotated them upwards. I got adjusted and it was great. Since then it's been mildy sore but I'd been out like a week so I was like I just need to give it time. It has gotten progressively worse since Thursday. It's great
Do you know why they changed the grade policy?
Clinicians wanted it. They thought it would help people retain the information into 4th year if we had to learn it better. Don't know how true that is honestly. I haven't really had to study any harder this year than previous years. We're the third class I think since that change. We didn't lose anyone due to grades this year (and have only lost two to grades total), but it def caused unneeded stress at times.
Saaaaaaaaame. Caiter and I were ranting about that last night.
Do you guys not get scratch paper? All our tests are on ExamSoft but we at least get a sheet of paper to write things out.
We do but I can’t circle things, cross things out, underline, write above the answer what would make it correct. That’s how I take tests and I can’t do that when it’s on examsoft.
You can highlight and cross out answers on ExamSoft, but I get what you mean. I also hate how we don’t get our tests back. I like to learn from my mistakes.
Yeah I can cross answers out but like can’t do anything in the actual question. I can’t circle a bolder NOT 10 times to make sure I see it
Okay but anatomy practicals are still in examsoft so you have to TYPE in your answers and the professor still has to go through and checkmark each one that is or is not correct for everyone. This got REAL messed up last semester
Well now thats just silly. How do you balance your laptop while touching the specimen? We have scantron or paper for anatomy (examsoft for other)
We're not allowed to touch 😱
What?? How do you double check that it's really the left recurrent because yes, it's definitely wrapping around the aorta? They use our dissections for some of the specimens so not always nicely dissected like the prosections
They use our dissected specimens too! And I think they just try to pin it in whatever spot makes it obvious if it could be two things
Uggg. I needed to say which hiatus something was traveling through the diaphragm, but it was so un-dissected that I couldn't find the caudal vena cava... So I tugged the esoph further up in the neck and it moved lol. Best confirmation possibleThey use our dissected specimens too! And I think they just try to pin it in whatever spot makes it obvious if it could be two things
I liked how ours was set up last time. We had 40 minutes and could wander freely between stations. So I COULD go back to stations if I needed to. And did t have to stand at one station for a while minute if I only took 6 seconds to answer the question. This quarter we apparently have timed stations and I’m not a fan.
Switch that to "every single class" and I think you are correct.
