Gross Anatomy: Without Syllabus or Powerpoints?

Does your school give a syllabus, powerpoints, or notesets for Gross Anatomy? At my school we were told that we should consider our textbook as notes.
So I was wondering if this is standard for Gross?
If not any suggestions as to how to make this course more manageable?

we got powerpoints. powerpoints are useless. i used the books and time in the lab. honestly, anatomy lectures are pretty useless (with or without powerpoints) - you gotta memorize everything on your own anyways. i'd suggest netter cards - they were by far the most useful study tool i had.

We get none. Just use your books, cd's, internet etc. I don't think notes or lectures are very useful...

and remember the names of the things you cut 😛

My school used to provide the slides and a detailed sylabus but decided to remove both of these resources so people would attend the lectures 👎. However there are 5 year old gross notes that some overly studious girl typed out that cover in extreme detail (often more detail) the lectures. M2's sell them to us.

Agreed. Between these two you can find out location, name, insertion, attachment, innervation, and vascularity of pretty much anything you need to know for gross.

How it all makes sense in a bigger sense though, and functionality of systems, if you literally have no syllabus or powerpoints to work off of, well, you're going to have to dig through big Moore. Which is very tedious.

My school gave a syllabus and powerpoint lecture slides for Anatomy.

But I basically just looked at Netter's Atlas and the textbook (Clinically Oriented Anatomy by Moore and Dalley). I hardly touched the syllabus or reviewed the lecture slides much (or even attended lectures). I just studied the books and went to lab. That really should cover it. So you should be fine without your school providing that stuff.

I've found Grey's for students really helpful, with Netter's atlas, and dissection lab.

Our school isn't massive on anatomy though (in fact our entire health system doesn't worry about it too much unless you want to be a surgeon).
