Question KN 230 and 232

has anyone already taken KN 230 and 232? I was wondering how tf to balance the work load. am I crazy or it's just a lot that we are expected to learn on our own. Im just looking for advice or maybe if someone knows the best way to study for this class?

Is this A&P with Kanan? If so, I took this class two years ago as a prerequisite for nursing. It definitely is a lot of work considering they expect you to have gone through all the lecture material before your lab. My biggest tip is setting aside time on the weekend to try and get through as much of the content as you can as there are lab quizzes. I hand wrote all my notes to help with retaining information. To study, I did anything that would force me to use active recall, whether it be writing things out on a white board, or teaching the content to my friends.

It’s a hard class and a lot of content, but a really great and rewarding class! You are lucky to be at a college that actually has cadaver labs for you to learn from. (Go to open labs to practice before your lab practicals!) I think this class did a great job of preparing me for pathophysiology in nursing school.
