Hi James Posted at 11:25 am on Aug. 25, 2008
And I dont know where to fucking start!  Those of you that are in the science field know what Im talking about.  And maybe other majors too.  But we have to put up with words such as Psuedostratified Columnar, Circumferential Lamella, etc.  Along with 33 other words to be memorized and mapped on the body precisely in 10 days.


How do you deal with memorizing all these words?


And of course, I know of all the study techniques.  Do you do anything else?

You would still have to remember a whole lot of stuff.  How are you doing it?

By the way those words are just different types of cells in our body right?  

There are so many. When i took anatomy we had to memorize and through a microscope, figure out the difference between the cells.

Edit: Notecards helped me a lot.

I normally wouldn't respond.  But this is interesting.  How would I manage to do a thing like this?

Mnemonic devices?  

Sometimes, I try to make up a little rhyme or find some similarity between the term and definition


I did that for High School biology and such but its almost too complicated in college.  Too many words.  Its possible.  Bu tI just gotta find that way.

You plan on going to college?  This is my second year and it stepped one big time from my first year.

yeh. my "repeat in my head until i pound it into memorization" method is probably going to fail horribly.
