you can find me on facebook - my name is Gina Egli
i had a lot of questions, and i typed up a huge response and my computer was stupid and lost it all so this reply will be short. i don't wanna type it all up again haha
computers - you will be fine with a small portable computer, half of the class just used their notes of the powerpoints. you only HAVE to have it for like 2 classes for online quizzes and at the end of quarters for class reviews.
clubs - at orientation you will be introduced to all of the clubs. you can join as many as you want. don't feel overwhelmed to partake in them all, though. some are more active than others. Rx runners was fun because you could play soccer or volleyball once weekly at family first. there's APHA and SSHP, national organizations. some others you can apply to until after the first semester. SGA you run for positions and get elected.
classes - first quarter, study hard for micro (its more challenging than the others and you need to spend more time on the material) second quarter, immunology (same professor as micro), a&p (diff professors so you need to learn how they all test), and calculations (you have to write out the answers and your work, they're not multiple choic). third quarter i can't think. some classes require more work than others.
studying - our class typed up or wrote out notes from powerpoints and studied from them. the class president often typed a set of notes up and emailed them to people. some people stay at the school all day and study, some people study some at home, some people procrastinate. just learn what works for you. failing is getting anything less than a 70 (there are no D's). if you fail a class, you can possibly retake a final test (there are some requirements). if you fail that you have to retake the class during the summer. you can only fail 4 classes. failing a class AND a retake test = 2 failed classes. so be aware of that.
i can't remember what i included in the last post that got lost so feel free to ask more questions. i don't remember to much about orientation because it was boring and everything was so new. oh you sit alphabetically in assigned seats but have the option of changing your seat. the year goes by fast. you can find me on facebook or just message me here.
