This video describes who this course is designed for, who the instructor is and the goal of this course.
This course discusses why everyone is smart enough to get an A. This video is specifically for students who are feeling "defeated" by their current grade in anatomy, or who feel they might have difficulty succeeding in anatomy, based on past classes.
Change your approach to learning by actively practicing and testing your knowledge, like solving a Rubik's Cube under time pressure, to improve grades through brain-driven study.
Discover how to overcome memory hurdles by prioritizing recall over recognition and avoiding the fluency illusion. Practice recall often through brief paraphrase and mindful review to boost exam performance.
Practice recall to improve anatomy learning by generating answers, explanations, and drawings; apply chapter reviews, concept checks, study guides, and recall-based tests to boost retention.
Explore the forgetting curve and how space repetition strengthens memory through recall, problem solving, and a four-box Leitner-inspired flashcard system.
Discover strategies to overcome learning challenges by engaging with textbooks, understanding the professor’s priorities, and using lectures to guide self-study for improved exam performance.
Learn a concrete three-read method to study anatomy textbooks: skim for the big picture, read for foundations, and read for mastery with notes, questions, and self-tests to improve your grade.
Enhance your study brain power by optimizing your environment and study habits to protect working memory, minimize distractions, and vary recall contexts for better long-term memory.
Adopt the pomodoro technique with 25-minute focused blocks and 5-minute breaks to boost memory consolidation, then schedule shorter, spaced study sessions across the week.
Discover the brain science behind procrastination and learn practical steps to start studying: a five-minute quick start, a simple plan, and activation activities to boost focus.
This course will help college anatomy students learn how to study effectively for exams. Many anatomy students put in long hours and don't see the results they want. Use this course to help you get the grade you want to get in anatomy!
In a nutshell this course will cover the following:
1) MINDSET -- “I’m not smart enough to get a good grade.”
2) EXAM READINESS -- “I feel like I know it, but I’m not doing well on the exam”
3) SELF-LEARNING -- “I know I should read my textbook, but it’s boring and there’s too much information.”
4) FASTER, BETTER STUDY SESSIONS -- “I study so hard and so long, but it’s never enough.”
5) PROCRASTINATION -- “I know I should study, but I just keep procrastinating.”

Many students work very hard to understand the material presented in their Anatomy class. However, when exam time comes, they just aren't able to show off what they know. How frustrating! This course will go through some brain science behind exam performance and will give you SPECIFIC study techniques to ensure a better grade in your anatomy course!
This is not your typical "study skills" course. This course is meant to change the way you approach studying by making it more ENGAGING, more EFFECTIVE and more ENJOYABLE.
Anatomy and Anatomy/Physiology courses are a major stepping stone for students' future career paths. Unfortunately, for many students, they become a stumbling block instead, causing much frustration and emotional turmoil. But it doesn't have to be that way!
When you finish this course you will have a new toolkit of study techniques (specific for anatomy students) that you can alter to fit your learning style, time frame and personality. You will also have a better understanding of how to work WITH your brain instead of against it.
