I'm really hating this class. My first test is this week. I've been putting in solid 8 hours days and still feel like I don't know a damn thing.
The lecturer literally spouts off a dozen bugs per lecture hour, and it seems like he lists EVERY possible disease state, every anatomic site, etc for every bacteria. So when it's all said and done none of them seem very distinguishable. In other words I can't tell what is high yeild and what is irrelevant because they don't make it evident. Meningitis may be listed under 10 different bugs, even if they cause meningitis 0.1% of the time and I'll never see it in a case study/in the real world. I'm spending more time organizing/sorting through the info than studying it.
Any tips? Kind of just wanted to vent.
