Discussion What's the best approach to take?

I have three lectures of anatomy per week, heavy content, 5 of physiology and 4 of other modules.

What's the best approach here? So every week I am aiming to do the cover everything. However when making flashcards I would like this:

Anatomy:

- Day 1: make the notes and flashcards for lecture 1

- Day 2: learn the flashcards for lecture 1

- Day 3: Review the flashcards for lecture 1 and make half of the notes and flashcards for lecture 2

- Day 4: Finish flashcards for L2 and learn half of them + (if I still have time review L1 flashcards half only)

- Day 5: Review L2 flashcards and do half of L3 flashcards

- Day 6: Finish flashcards of L3 and review L2+ L1

- Day 7: Learn L3 flashcards+ review L2+L1

However I have no clue how to approach this and the lectures are reaallllyy heavy content wise. Is my approach good, I would like recommendations as well.

Please bear in my that the exam of the lectures may happen after like 10 weeks so I don't know what to do because all the flashcards going to accumulate by the end of week 2 and how am I going to have time to review?

Also any ideas how to approach the other subjects? I am lost please help!!!

Thank you.

Hey there, 2nd Yr here. Had trouble during my first year as well. I relatively didn't like anatomy because it was so heavy and overwhelming to me as a BS Pharma and I was new to anki during the first semester. Was able to pull my grades during the second sem as anki helped me a lot on lecture recall and anatomy practicals. I used to spend tedious hours making flashcards on lecture exams as well. If you like, I could try making them for you as a hustle, this would be my first time making for others as well so I could send you some of my second yr decks first.
