I hated anatomy and found the muscles one of the few fun things to learn. The skeletal system i thought was the hardest because it was very detailed.
Physiology on the other hand was so much better and easier to learn. I’m not that good at memorizing which is probably why i found physiology easier. Learning things like how action potentials work and the sliding filament theory is really interesting.
The one thing i found hard was learning about glycolisis.

Dude that sucks - sorry to hear that.
Will you have to take the course again, or is the D acceptable for your degree? (if you aren’t transferring that is - obviously then you need at least a C).
I actually found the first semester of A&P the hardest - I managed a B+, but it was rough. Myology and the study of anatomical landmarks on bones was particularly tough. Honestly, I brought my video camera to lab and filmed everything - talk about an invaluable study aid.
Once I started that, I went from mid-80s on exams to 95s and 100s…nothing like seeing the actual parts over and over again. If you can do that, you should.
I’m actually here posting from the school library as I have my lecture final in 2 hours - final lab practical was Tuesday. A&P II was easier for me - more interesting too, especially the Endocrine system and the bio-chem portions. Oh, and I finished my year of molecular chemistry last semester - a B in both sections, and I agree - chem was very tough - tons of math.
I’m good for at least a B in A&P II, but if I ace this last exam I could see a B+ or an A…
PM me if you need any study tips or other help - I’d be glad to give you whatever advice I can…

Well the D does me know good I need a C, but will take biology instead! I only need one more a and p or bio course and will swtich back to bio as dont really want my ass handed to me again. AS I cant waste that kind of money!

I’m just the opposite. The memorization comes easy for me. I aced my exams on the skeletal and muscular systems. I had to actively study much more for the physiology side of things.

I’m with you on the memorization, that saved my ass in both A&P classes. Made sure I knew everything about labeling bones, insertions etc and took my chances with the rest of the questions, it worked out.
