At this point in the semester, we are nearly halfway through the coursework for all of the classes. For pediatrics, we have been running on a pretty consistent schedule with exams 1 and 2 being about a month apart, and there being about the same amount of content on both exams.
From the start I have taken a great interest in the coursework and topics being lecture on in pediatrics lecture. Whether it was from the first exam learning the different stages of developments of a child, or what we have been getting more in depth with, the alterations of different body systems in a pediatric child and the disorders that come with it.
Since I have taken a liking to this class. I have been inclined to study above and beyond for the course. For both of the past exams, I have ensured that I was taking the time to really read the book, the charts and photos in the book to help supplement my reading and even taking notes on the reading. I realized that the thing that has made me so successful thus far with the first two exams, is taking the time to read the book and do the PrepU's before the class. Reading up and learning the content before really puts the information into perspective to me and makes it feel more like a review or an articulate lesson on things I have already learned.
I really put a lot of hard work and effort into studying for both of these past tests. Studying non stop hours in the library, and making sure I really knew every detail about any disease or disorder, and making sure I understand the significance in children. The second exam, as well as the ones that will come to follow will be cumulative, since the growth and development of children is so important to their care. I was lucky enough thanks to my studying to score a 100% on the first exam and a 98% on the second exam.
Though this course requires the hardwork and attention, I am looking forward to continuing to learn and excel in this course.
