Hey, I noticed that the sticky thread on how to excel in the Basic Sciences is a little out of date since it seems the curriculum has recently changed. I was wondering if any individuals who are currently in first semester or have recently completed first semester would be so kind as to provide advice on how to perform well in first semester and/or any information on how it is like being a first semester student?
I would really appreciate it if anyone could provide a breakdown on each class, the books that are absolutely necessary to purchase for each class, and how a typical day is like in first semester. How long are you in class in each day of first semester? Is it true that class takes place from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday? How often are you tested and do you feel that there is ample time to study? What is the earliest time that the bus picks up students from their housing facility and what is the latest time that the bus picks up students from school to take them home?
On average what percentage of students do not complete the first semester and also what percentage do not finish the program?
Lastly, if anyone has the first semester notes and would be so kind to send me them please pm me. I am willing to pay you for providing me with the notes! I am very nervous about first semester and would appreciate any materials anyone could provide me.
