I survived! This week we had two tests on Monday and another one today. It seems like professors here call their tests "quizzes" and I have yet to figure out why (aside from a guess to make us calm down and not freak out about them). Monday was physical assessment where many of the questions were about simple common conditions that we may see patients with such as hypertension, syncope, skin lesions and much more. This was a fair test in that it was directly from the powerpoints that we learned in class. Silly mistakes are where I lost my points so Ill take that with a grain of salt. The second "quiz" we had on Monday was for statistics. Now, I thought this was going to be much much harder but after studying the powerpoint I as more than prepare for the exam. Again, silly mistakes of not reading questions fully and changing answers were the reasons for the two questions wrong. Grrrr. Finally, we had a test ("quiz") today in diagnostic methods (this semester: EKG's). I love this class and all of cardiology but again, my poor test taking skills got the best of me as I rushed through the test not checking the easy questions and made very silly mistakes that I am kicking myself for now! What is nice about all of these classes is that we are able to fill out a form challenging answers to questions or even the fairness of questions. At first I thought this would be bogus and they would never read them, but after that EKG test, it looks like they do! I guess as long as you have an accurate and rational reason for choosing your answer then they grant you what you deserve. The more and more time I spend getting to know these professors the more I realize that they are all really there to help us =]

You know your blog has really inspired me to start my own blog about my school is well. I happen to be maths teacher in a high school and I think it will be really brilliant to do so.
