I did my first "weekly quiz" for endocrine just before - I think I fluked it.
I had obviously spend too much time focusing on the case study and things surrounding hypothyroidism that I didn't cover-off on some of the additional readings of other endocrine hormones. I figured we'd cover them as we went along in the module. Not so. Not so at all!
Well I got some very good advice from a fellow classmate and which readings to focus on for the exam. Ok. I think I might know what I'm doing now. I swear half of the difficulty of studying med is trying to figure out what you're supposed to do and when.
So, in a nutshell, it seems the case studies are all well-and-good but I need to make sure I'm doing the additional readings. For example, there was a questions about the hormones of the anterior pituitary gland. Well, silly me thought we'd cover that in more detail later in the module as there is a case on pituitary disease. Yah I'll have to remedy this and thankfully I've got away with an ok grade this time.
As I've had four days off work this week I was feeling pretty good about my progress, but that quiz has shaken me up a little.
No time to dwell.
Back to the books!
