    im currently in the first semester of my accelerated program, and my fundi professor LITERALLY reads word-for-word off the powerpoints, including her notes at the bottom. I have my 1st exam next week, 50 questions based on 5 chapters and i have no idea what to study. i really liked the tip of using the textbook questions and pretending they're exam questions. hopefully, it'll help, thank you for sharing this information!

      Are you able to reach out to previous students who have taken the course? It always helps to gauge a teachers testing style from former students in those situations. I would make sure you know those slides like the back of your hand. You got this!!

    Do you have any tips on how to study 7 chapters a week?? I start nurse process next semester and I hear it’s so many chapters each week! I’m so scared.

    • @KristinaMerrill
      @KristinaMerrill  Рік тому +1

      One of the biggest tips I have is to talk to your teachers. Not just in class but after class. Speak with them show them you care and ask their advice. They will tell you how to focus on certain chapters and which ones you don’t really need to harp on.

    My professors MAKE us , they said "you learn better if you find the information yourself " we were not given any study guide or sense of direction just the chapters numbers we have to go over.

    • @KristinaMerrill
      @KristinaMerrill  2 роки тому +1

      That’s so unfortunate!! I’m so sorry. Those standards are not realistic. There is an immense amount of information. I would speak to your professor and explain you need further direction since it’s information overload. If they don’t take action go to their higher up. You can’t pay for someone to tell you to read the chapter. And if they don’t help go somewhere else! Seriously! That’s an awful education why pay them.
