Anatomy & Physiology I
Welcome!
Take a syllabus, a Connect info
sheet, and an index card when
you come in.
Write your name, email address, and cell
number on the top of the card. I
would like to get to know each of you
better so please write your major, if
you play sports, work, or have
children. Also let me know what your
main interests or hobbies are if they
are different from what you’ve listed.
Thanks!

Why are you here?

Take a minute to write down in the front
of your notebook why you are taking A
and P this summer.

When you get tired of studying it may be
helpful to refer back to this 

In Class Assignment

Get together with your major and write
down as a group why it is important to
have a good understanding of A and P for
your major
How to Succeed
Learning A and P is not a passive process
 You cannot skip class, come to lab late,
ignore the assignments, and/ or study
halfheartedly at the last minute and hope
to do well in this class
 There is no extra credit, so you must earn
your grade by performing well on the
lecture and lab exams and assignments

How To Succeed
Come to class and actively participate.
 Pay attention in class
 Do assigned reading
 Bring textbook to class and lab
 Take good notes; rework them. Look at a
classmates notes as well as your own.
 Power points
 Study hard
 For some of you this may be the hardest
class you will ever take

Learning Styles

NSTL.HTM
 Visual Learners: draw diagrams and chart
concepts
 Auditory Learners: listen to lecture tapes
 Kinesthetic or Tactile Learners: learn from
models and specimens, learn by doing

“Big picture” learning
 start reading by reviewing back of chapter
review first, then go back and read details

Time Management
Put your time plan down on paper
 Don’t short yourself on study time
 Learn when to say “no” to other activities

Reading Strategy
SURVEY the chapter before you read it
 Ask yourself questions
 Read the chapter: Don’t forget tables,
illustrations, and figures

Analyze your Note Taking Skills





Plan for note taking; be ready before class
begins. Best bet is to print out ppts and take
notes on those.
Listen well. Determine main points and
relationship between concepts.
Pay attention and take note of clues as to
questions
Be concise, use abbreviations, symbols, and
diagrams
Process your notes: within 24 hrs work with
your notes to clarify what you wrote
Notes Continued
Write it out: make your notes as
complete as possible
 Look for connections, one of the secrets to
A&P is understanding how things are
related to one another

Study Actively





Answer Questions/ do work assigned by instructor
Hint: The language of A&P is really a foreign language.
It’s mostly Latin. It really helps to look at work parts
and their meanings.
Keep up with new vocabulary (flash cards can help with
this)
Use computer assisted tutorials, visualizations, or
reviews
Form a study group
Memory Tip
Memory researcher Robert Bjork
 “The typical college student spends far too much
time reading and underlining and far too little
time summarizing, paraphrasing, and testing his
or her ability to retrieve what has been studied.”
 Inputting and encoding vs retrieval and
outputting of information
 Testing has to do with retrieval and outputting
of information so don’t forget this important
