Histology of the Ovaries Meets Van GoghWith new classes comes a new study strategy.
When we were only doing Anatomy it was easy.... just study Anatomy, and then study some more Anatomy. Now we have a bunch of classes all going on at once. Physiology, Medical Microbiology, Intro to Clinical Dentistry and Dental Anatomy are all on a 4.0 scale, while Histology and a couple other classes are Pass/Fail. So the new strategy is to focus all my time on the 4.0 classes and just make sure I get a passing grade in the P/F courses. I learned from Anatomy that I stressed out WAY to much for that Pass/Fail Course. The only kicker is that Histology is on our board exams so it is important to learn the information well, the key is to not let the class stress me out.
We got all our equipment for Dental Anatomy this week. To be honest, it started to feel like I just paid $7,000 in tuition for a wood shop course. Some tools that took me off guard: Rubber Plaster Mixing Bowl, Two Putty knives, A very industrial Bunsen Burner, a very sharp carving knife, and then of course there are the giant Sanders and other power tools scattered amongst the lab. That being said, I'm really excited to start. It will be our first hands on Dental Related class and I can't wait to get started. We also checked out (leased) our first dental hand piece and accessories, which is pretty dang cool also.
