Week two of our fully-immersive, seven-credit gross anatomy class was a long one. And looking at the schedule ahead–it should have been one of the longest because of the amount of material we are having to cram in. The weeks moving forward have a few more study days laced in between class days, whereas the past week… was truly a full week of class. We even had lecture and lab before our quiz.
Speaking of the quiz, I am happy to report some good news on that front. I am happy with my score and the class average was high. Everyone’s hard work definitely paid off. But more importantly, the class got an insight into the kinds of questions our professor likes to ask on an exam. The quiz was a low-pressure 25 questions and a maximum of 2% of our final grade so… regardless of what you scored, a good grade in the class, overall, is still achievable.
The bad: I am exhausted. The combination of a full week of material and a busy social calendar really took its toll. I am definitely looking to scale back this week. I am discovering that this is likely to be a difficult cause when our class of 59 students spends so much time together already. I guess it’s just a matter of saying no.
The week’s schedule looks much more manageable, but not more manageable in terms of material. We are spending the last of our lectures before the exam on the forearm, wrist and hand. It’s also a holiday week and our exam is precariously scheduled on the Monday after Independence Day weekend. We’ll see how it goes.
