Study Strategies

Click the link below and find out how you learn best! What's your learning style?

In the beginning of the year, professor Clegg will have you take a VARK test which in short, is a test that tells you which study/ learning methods would work best for you. You receive four different scores, one for visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic.

If you scored highest on visual you should try:

-Including diagrams or pictures in notes

-Taking clean and organized notes using things like bright colors and don't be afraid to mark your notes up

If you scored highest on aural you should try:

-Watching videos on subject of study

-Read your notes out loud to yourself or even to someone else

- Record yourself talking about said notes and then play the recording back until you can understand and remember the content

If you scored highest on reading/ writing you should try:

-Filling a notebook with notes from each chapter

-Reading the textbook

If you scored highest on kinesthetic you should try:

-Playing some of the games listed on the page

-Studying from something you can touch (ex. physical textbook or flash cards)

(This learning style is the most difficult to utilize in an online class, although that doesn't mean its impossible or that you can't try some of the strategies for other learning styles. I believe in you!)

Videos

Professor Dave Explains on Youtube has many different videos about Anatomy and Physiology. He also has videos about chemistry aspects which are very important when dealing with Anatomy and Physiology.

Anatomy GMC has great videos and makes it very easy for everyone to follow along.

New Anatomy and Physiology has great videos that includes images that have great details. There also are detailed videos for each section of the body.

A&P Study Opportunity

If students would like they can meet in the NICC study center. This will allow students to talk face-to-face and throw ideas around. It can also be a time when you can get together and help students in need that may feel uncomfortable to go get tutoring. Students can agree and decide a time and day to meet in the center and what they will be working on.

How Does the Team Like to Study?

Everyone learns differently, therefore we must find a studying method that works. Some methods are to relate the content to something in your everyday life. Look for connections to things you already know, then build on them. Drawing pictures and diagrams also helps students.

Extra Worksheets

Here are some worksheets to practice macromolecules, atomic shells, abdominal regions and quadrants, atom structure, and a coloring sheet about neurons and neuroglia.
