The overlapping is what truly helped me for when i

The overlapping is what truly helped me for when I did the lab lectures, and then I am the type of person that I have to
write stuff down, so I print out the lab pages read them and follow along the videos and then at the end right before the
exam I got through all the study review of the labs.
It was hard to memorize the six legs and the eight legs, then termites, insects, etc.
I literally have to write everything down, and repeat, and repeat. This section to be really honest made me so sick to my
stomach, I was not able to eat right.
With that said, this class by far has been the most interesting class I have ever taken, because I used to work at an
infectious disease/internal medicine doctor (as a medical assistant), apart from MRSA/HIV etc, we also did International
Travel Clinic, where we would vaccinate all the people going overseas. Now a lot of things are starting to add up, malaria,
yellow fever, African sleeping disease, Chaga's, and omg rabies, we saw so many patients that would just love to go into
bat caves to sight see and get bit, or bats inside their house, they would trap them and sent to the lab to find out if they
had rabies or not.
Sorry long email. Thank you so much for your support and great funny teaching methods!
I basically break down the lab manual with key points and jot down notes from your power points and of
course use lots of colored pens/highlighters. I then read it many times and listen to the power points again
too. Using the Summary Questions is very helpful as well.
First off, I want to say thank you for always informing me of my grades. As far as the tests go, I study like
everybody else, but I know I have to study a lot harder. In 2015, I was diagnosed with cancer and my memory
has been very bad ever since. With that, I've come to learn that I have to study probably twice as hard as
other students in order to do well. I have my boyfriend quiz me constantly before each exam. I use the hints
you post and try to retain as much of the notes/labs as possible. With the scientific names, I try to come up
with goofy, easy, or ridiculous ways to remember what each of them are. For example, Xenopsylla starts with
an X... The rat flea was very deadly (Bubonic Plague) and many people died from it. The X made me think of
death from TV shows that show the X as eyes. I hope that kind of made sense but it's little things like that
that I try to use to help me remember.
13. Attendance: This course moves FAST ! You are expected to log into D2L every day ! I will periodically
check how many items you have accessed and for how long. This is your attendance !
14. Absences and Make-up:
a. No make-up lecture exams are given. Each lecture exam is open for several days and then it is off
limits. Because the final exam is comprehensive , a prorated (%) final exam score is used as a "make-up
lecture exam grade" if a lecture exam is missed for any reason . However, to encourage everyone to take all
of the lecture exams, the prorated final exam score can replace your lowest lecture exam grade IF it is higher
and will therefore help your grade!
