Share the Work

You are no longer alone.
There is no grade curve to compete for.
This is a virtual study group blog.
If everyone posts 1 answer to the study guides, you will be sharing the work. Comment on each other's answers. That way everyone will be on the same page. You each have your own unique thoughts. Someone else will always come up with a thought that never occurred to you. Everyone benefits, the learning is easier when it is interactive.
If you are able to explain a concept OUTLOUD to someone else (even if it is your dog), then you have really learned it.
We are being trained to be teachers, start with each other.
Share your clinical stories, hang your reading on what you see and know. Make it personal, it will help with understanding and retention. The more graphic or funny you can make it in your mind, the better.

Here are samples of how the semester ahead of you shared the work and their thoughts.
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
Sample 4
Sample 5

OK, don't worry, you can look at some of her old study guides from last semester. It will give you an idea on some of the stuff she likes to focus on and how she thinks.
Remember, keep it simple!
