Anatomy and Physiology Survival Manual is a learning tool to assist students in their after class learning experience. It is designed as a “fill-in-the-blank” exam that self-tests you to see where your strengths and weaknesses are.
Once the correct answers are filled in, a “review book” is provided on the subject to study from. One aspect to note is that often enough the answers to one question are found in the wording of the question following it, thus making for repetition of facts during review. This assists in memory building. Just remember, this is a tool, and we need to use tools correctly to get the most from them. And of course, the more you put into this class, the more you will get out of it.
