#3 Take advantage of your class time
How?
Find a seat close to the front or towards the center of your class
Why? Research has found that students who make a conscious effort to sit within the “T-Zone” of the class are most likely to be engaged in the lecture
Get your hands on the models
Why? Most students are taking this class because they are likely to pursue a career in healthcare which is primarily a hands-on job- it’s best to start getting familiar with.
Now, I understand that most students today are taking online courses and may not have the luxury of tangible models to learn from- but guess what- this is HUMAN anatomy!- USE YOURSELF! If the lecture is pertaining to something you can see or feel on yourself, or another person, take advantage and see if the people around you are interested in helping you review your content- they might even learn a thing or two about themselves!
Ask questions during lecture
