Study journal

[jocca]

Hey all, decided this could be a good idea to make me study some more so in addition to my workout journal in the health section I decided to create this one.

This obviously is more of a personal thing but if there are any other aspiring physio's, or people branching out into the health sector your input on my habits is most welcome as is any guides you can give me.

Currently attending university in Australia and am aiming for 3 distinctions and one credit minimum each semester, with recommended study for now of 16 hours of additional study in addition to my lectures, labs and tutorials per week.

Sem One

ISP
Anatomical science
biochemistry
Neuroscience

 

[jocca]

Day one week three

three hours of neuroscience, mainly surface anatomy of brain not so much function but chapter Seven nearly complete.

Note to complete index tomorrow

Good stuff. I'm going to hold you to this. b.

 

[jocca]

would actually be much appreciated, hoping this is going to put me on the right track and into some better habbits

 

[nikko49]

good luck. see mine (just started it today).

can you go into more detail about your study habits?

 

[jocca]

Today consisted of Mainly work in ISP lab ( was used as a test dummy for a 12 lead ECG)

done main chapters from the second week now of ISP (Integrated systems physiology) and working on respitory system. 2 hours completed today.

(was used as a test dummy for a 12 lead ECG)

That's funny - we had to build on in electronics in first year. I didn't build it, I just sat there as the test dummy.

Keep up the good work champ - I just did an assignment the night before :S

posted this post in wrong thread-meant to post in my study log. sorry.

today much of the same

did hour and a half of anatomical science study, aiming to summerize all of the material on head/ neck vasculature and musculature tomorrow by typing it up and wrote learing it on some diagrams. See how that Goes I guess, this with ISP is proving to be much more difficult then biochem and neuroscience combined, who'd have thought?

 

[jocca]

been a bit busy of late hadnt had time to update but here it is

yesterday 2 hours of ISP study mainly chapter four of respitory, summarised and questions done, finally past pulmonary mechanics.

today moving onto chapter five respirtory aiming for 2 hours and possibly an ISP practice exam

 

[Neubie]

joc you're killin it.. keep it up

 

[jocca]

thursday

Still on ISP due to tute quiz in the next two weeks

3 hours done today fairly productive day both mentally and physically

chapter 5 and 6 nearly done hoping to have finished resp ventilation and equations by the end of the weekend. only 9 and 13 to go

 

[jocca]

two and a half hours of anat science tonight mid sems comming up

summarising of third topic and half of first topic down

big week comming up for ISP and anat

 

[jocca]

facial vein
portal vein
mandibular vein
maxillary vein
inferior cerebral vein
middle cerebral vein
occipital vein
vertebral vein

very impressive.

 

[jocca]

Not the greatest of days today much procrastination only led to four hours of anatomical science study and was hoping for more perhaps in the vicinity of Six. in either case about 80% of the weeks are summarised now, will update this tomorrow when iv furthered my study into fith and 1st topics

 

[jocca]

well I havent been updating this but have still been putting in the work so heres the updates

ISP quiz - HD
Anatomical science mid sem - distinction
Chem report 1 - distinction
chem report 2 - HD
chem report 3 - Distinction
biochem mid sem - so far credit but likely to finish on a distinction
Neuroscience - terrible had a very off day which is irritating 10% from 25%


Tomorrow is the biggest exam of the year for me Integrated systems physiology. Have completed around 90 pages of writing for it and read through 20 chapters out of 28. Done well over 40 hours of study also and been to every lab so lets hope for the best.
