i know this sounds a bit neurotic, but yea,

so are there any, in its most literal sense, QUIET places to study at NYCOM. I tried the library, and for some reason, theres always a party going on in the rest of the building and you can hear all the noise in the library, or the printers printing the reciepts.

I then proceeded to the silent study of the riland building, and theres just way too many people in there for it to be quiet, everyone is talking or walking in and out of that room...

I finally went outside, the tables next to the pond, and while studying, i noticed my head bumping to someone playin 50 cent in the parking lot...

needless to say, i am home now...haha, but i really need a place where i can just sit down for a couple of hours and bang out some studying....any suggestions?

I feel like for our class, the lecture hall is the quitest place. Nowhere is going to be completely silent, but it seems like the lecture hall (after class time) is the place where everyone looking for a "truly silent" place go. It is sort of an unspoken agreement.

Also, they all get much quieter after dinner time. I'm in the study room right now, and it's virtually silent.

Good luck!!

TOTALLY feel you on this! I was in the library today as well, and I tried the upstairs which was basically like being in any public place. People didn't even bother whispering, they were answering their phones and talking really loudly on them, and these two jackasses were watching youtube clips or something.

So then I move to the basement where there were few available seats and people were, yet again, talking. Actually it seemed like there was some kind of undergrad seminar down there or something.

It felt like high school...I'm going to invest in lots of earplugs.
 
There are some idiots who even talk during class, play youtube clips during class and laugh out pretty loud or this one weirdo who plays a different movie every single day during class
 
After 5-6pm the library empties out and gets quiet, also on Sat and Sun its quiet...I also use earplugs some days and it works well at knocking out the idle conversation.
 
I feel your pain about studying in school. That's why I try to just study at home. I never try ear plugs before.
I wonder if there are headphones that will cancel the noise without having to play music. (and not cost too much $$)

Anyway, does anybody know if exam 2 will cover everything we learned or just from wk 3 - 5. I tried streaming Dr. Dixon's brief speech (the one on Monday 17th) about material that will be on the second test , but I couldn't make sense at all.
I have a feeling that it will be everything, but just want to make sure.
 
dixon said the emphasis would be on weeks 3-5, but there may be a bit from the previous material, and that she wouldnt give us any exact percents.

Hey now, no need to talk trash just because you are jealous you didn't think of the idea. Once we move to some challenging topics in class, maybe I will cut it back to one movie every other day. Until then, keep watching and keep talking trash you jackass.
 
Nice. Medical students calling each other names now. These NYCOM classes just keep getting more and more mature each year 🙄
 
haha no reason to hate on the guy watching movies( specially since he still gets away w/ doin well in school). they are subtitled. You can't seriously tell me you pay 300% attention to lecture for the entirety or love each and every professor? I bet even you glance at hollywood's screen when the plot gets good ; ) So relax and enjoy the show.
 
I for one would be amazed if anyone can pay absolute attention to all these lecturers. My thinkign is, I don't care if anyone si watching youtube clips or playing a movie on the computer or chatting on aim, or wahtever. So long as they have headphones in and arent' playing the movie with the volume for me to hear it, I say do whatever you want. Heck I watch random clips or start playing games when the lectures get boring and you need a break from studying on your own. I don't see what's so bad about it.
 
lol how was I supposed to know you were going to get so offended cause I called you a weirdo for playing movies during every medical school classes.

Oh and I have absolutely no love or respect for the droning lectures at nycom and am very willingly distracted so its tough to ignore a movie thats playing right in front of you and someones leaning over to watch it.

To each his own if it works for you. Although it is rather distracting and I started sitting on the other side. As for the personal attacks and me being 'jealous' for not playing movies in class..... lol are you serious.

btw sweet PMs :laugh:

Now lets move to more important things... like two lost clickers, one lost USB, one missing sweatshirt and the recovery of something very very very important in the last 24 hours lol. For medical school student, we really can't keep track of anything can we.

Hey dude, I watch those movies from across the room.

Personal request: I am not as smart as you, so please pretend that you find the tests hard, as that makes me feel better.

So even though you got a 97 or so on this last test, just fake it out for people like me.

peace

and keep the movies coming.
 
Oh i have no problems with the movies btw so you can certainly play em as much as you want. No one sits there focusing on the lecture the entire time. Im always on facebook/checking a game/chatting/emailing during class too. I just thought it was funny and weird what you did. Certainly not hating or bashing you about it. With 300 kids, if you find something annoying, you just move and thats what I did

Now cheer up and study anatomy!
 
Speaking of movies...did anyone else love that last movie in the cytoskeleton lecture with the Chariots of Fire-like song? If it had a club/techno beat it would have been perfect lol!
 
The way I see it, with the amount of money we pay.. if we're not getting a dedicated cheerleader squad then its not enough. but yea some trance music wouldve been good

I found it hilarious. It was all like some weird music video,
 
This test and anatomy practicle are going to be a killer. I can't take these 8-5 days. I don't have any study time!!! 😱 That is why I am writing this at 2:20 A.M. Just finished studying for the night.

Just remember 70 = DO !!! :laugh: But yeah...this is rough
 
so as much as having a quiz (or an exam) every monday sucks, i feel like the quizzes are really helpful for when it comes to studying for the exams. i've already studied it once in depth, i feel like i just need to spend some time reviewing it (plus the new stuff from this week) and i'll be ok for the written.

the anatomy practical is another story... :scared:
 
Did anyone go to Practical Review from 10:00 to 12:00 am today? I didn't go because I already went on Thursday.
Just wondering if it was a formal review session or just like the one on thursday evening. If it was a formal review session, I am wondering if they said anything important for the practical exam.
 
Why do professors dislike putting their lectures and lecture notes notes in logical order?

I just spent many hours deciphering the puzzle that is bulk transport.

🙂

Is this a game???? 🙂:meanie:
 
i hear ya. i hope the exam is light on sunny's anatomy stuff. it's pretty dense... i've spent the last couple hours putting all the info in one place from that list she gave us and i'm still not done.
 
is anyone else feeling like they are going to fail....miserably 🙁 its panic mode time
 
something i found today that might be helpful to people that like pneumonics, for keeping straight what is retroperitoneal:

SAD PUCKER

Suprarenal glands
Aorta and inferior vc
Duodenum (parts 2-4)

Pancreas (except tail)
Ureter
Colon (ascending and descending)
Kidneys
Esophagus
Rectum
 
Just know how the organs are organized and you can figure it out. Retroperitoneal = attached to posterior ab wall so whichever organs are the deepestest essentially and or don't wiggle freely.....

after spending 4 hours in the anatomy lab i'm with you. 🙁
 
i dont think this test is going to be that bad...its is really only on two weeks on material again that first week after the last test was BS... and a lot of this stuff is overlapping like pharm and receptors

lol do you take that statement back now?
 
That exam was rough. I don't think any amount of studying would have prepared me for that exam. I think I passed and that is all I care about. The practicle I am just crossing my fingers:scared:. Enjoy a night of partying because tomorrow it is already time to hit the books all over again.

Don't jump into any conclusions just yet. We tried our best. 🙂
Now I learned from my mistakes and the necessity to adapt my study skills.
Yeah, the test was hard (Not hard as in "complicated" sense, but it's hard due to the amount of materials and the fact that there was anatomy practical the same day.
 
Remember now there are going to be practicals most of the time w/ the tests .
 
I really don't like Dr. McWhinney's blurry, overstretch, confusing and highly unorganized ppt slides. I wonder how much time she spent preparing them. 😡
 
Except for a few... Dr. Goodman, Hill, Chaudry.. we have a bunch of really pathetic lecturers. With Dr. Dixon at least her notes make sense and give you all you need to know.

Others including McWhiney should be better off teaching undergrad at nyit.
 
I feel like Dr. Hwang's lecture wasn't as bad yesterday. It wasn't a "throw as much information at them as we can in an hour" type of lecture. Though I think she has already lost the class' attention and confidence since half of us leave whenever she's scheduled now anyways.
 
Is anyone else's grade on guru lower by 2 pts or so?
 
yea mine was a question lower...did you contact anyone about it

It's odd, but I actually like Dr. Hwang's "throw as much information at them as we can in an hour" 'cause I can stream it later and learn a lot more. This way, I don't need to read More and Dalley 😀.

The grade is lower by a question or 2 for the written exam. I contacted Dr. Bryant and she referred me to Melody Bauer who will be going over hand scoring the exam for me.

Can you send me her e-mail? My test was 2 points less than I calculated as well.
 
Hey guys...

Did anyone devise a good way to memorise all the 20 collagen types and what they do and where you find them etc?

I cant seem to find an good meaningful connections.... HELP MEEEE 🙂

😕 😱 :scared: :d

Thanks

Hey,

Melody just emailed me to say that in order to get your test hand scored you need to stop by her office in Serota 224 to fill out some paperwork.
