Anatomy and Physiology

Online learning is much different than in-class learning. YOU are the one in control. Which means you need to make your own schedule and STICK TO IT! That's the hard part. Give yourself a reward for doing it right - facetime with a friend afterwards. Penalize yourself if you don't make it the hour you scheduled yourself - 20 pushups or clean the bathroom. Do that for every hour you slack to keep yourself on schedule. Think of every hour as another time to do things right.

I would highly recommend that you follow the advice I gave at the beginning of the year regarding learning and "pancakes". Each learning unit is a plate of 3 pancakes. You can easily eat a stack in one sitting. But what happens if you put it off a day. You tell yourself, "I'll get to it tomorrow". Well, tomorrow comes and now you have 6 pancakes to digest. Or the weekend - and now you have 9 pancakes facing you. Pace yourself; don't try to eat 9 pancakes in a sitting, rather eat three a day. Learning should not be crammed, rather use "paced recall" to maximize your valuable time. I hope this helps. This is advice passed down to all first-year medical students :)
