30 powerpoints with aprox. 40 slides each (some had more, some had way less)
36 word documents or pdf documents (ranging from 3 to7 pages long)
250 slide powerpoint of histology images (histology is the study of the microscopic structure, chemical composition and function of the tissue or tissue systems of plants and animals--we just did human tissue)
this information was covered in 45 hours of lecture time (in class) spanning 9 days. subjects including physiology, developmental histology (embryology), biochemisty, molecular biology,
i cant (and dont want to) count how many hours i spent studying this material.
today, we had a 3 hour (and i was there until the last minute) exam covering every detail of this information in 125 questions.
and i will do this all over again in 2 and a half weeks.
now i understand why all the 2nd years kept telling us that anatomy was the easiest class. looking back at our exams and the amount of content that was drastically lower, it makes since that they would say this. also, i keep hearing the good news that it only gets harder. i am a little scared.
but, i do have to say taking this test today was a huge accomplishment and i feel damn proud of myself for having survived it. being able to recognize and understand all of the information makes me feel intelligent. now i just need to work on building up my confidence. I CAN DO IT!!
