💬 Draw out a diagram for each body system you learn! It’s important to understand the big picture. Make sure to understand rather than memorize, it’ll help you in future Phys courses
💬 TAs are super nice and a great go-to source for help
💬 Write down nitty gritty details (drug names) on your crib sheet!
