So I decided to enroll in the Pre-Matriculation workshop offered at
the campus. The workshop involves four days of Anatomy and Physiology
(8am-5pm) for a little over $100. It’s been awhile since I’ve had either
class, so I figured a refresher would prove beneficial. My expectation was that I would receive several lectures from professors, and walk out saying 'I are dumb" before class even started. Turns out, that didn't happen. But, I now have access to review material that is beneficial and a better mindset about the program in general.
Also, the workshop has challenged my bad habits (and less my science memory) more than I would like to admit. If it’s been a few years since you graduated, you might have developed the following:
-Inability to sit still without surfing the internet (including but not limited to social media, YouTube, etc)
-Wandering thoughts. Like every thought you own is wandering into outer space because they don’t want to sit still either.
-Lecture induced drowsiness
-Random hunger (this is probably because I don’t want to sit still any longer)
-Disdain for walking long distances to arrive at your destination
-Cravings for Happy Hour
-Constant clock checking
-Starting a blog to pass the time
Honestly, the greatest benefit of the workshop is meeting the classmates early, navigating the campus, and getting a feel for things in general before the pressure starts. SO, was it worth the money and time? I think so. Will it give you a huge advantage over the other students? I doubt it. All of the material covered during the workshop will be covered again. It's not like they gave us answers to the test or anything. ;)
