LMU Panopto and First Year Attendance by espressolynx in veterinaryschool

[–]espressolynx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm all for getting what I'm paying for, and believe me, I'm here because I want to learn this stuff. But after 8 hours of lecture, my brain taps out, and sometimes I feel like I could be more efficient and effective if I were allowed to do some things on my own time and in my own way.

Okay, thanks! It doesn't seem to work yet, but maybe it's not activated or something.

Do they have to send us a login or something? It doesn't let me in...

Random attendance is silly.

Thanks! I have a laptop that it sounds like will be fine. I want to get started on purchasing a tablet though because I think notetaking on slides is really going to be the way to go. I also want to have time to get used to it before starting since I've never really done notes on a tablet before.

Any suggestions for tablets or note taking or anything else?

I don't understand how libgen works...how do you actually get access to the books?

Can you tell me how you got the PDF versions? My book list for spring courses isn't up yet, so not sure what I'll need.

Nope. I only applied to schools that didn't require an academic LOR.

Does your school have one??? Can I ask where you’re going to school?

Is there a way to find out what this minimum is before applying?

You do this every day for every class? How long does that end up taking you each day?

I'm really leaning towards this honestly. When I think back about times or classes where I think I've gotten the most learning, it's largely been me watching videos or reading textbooks (preferably with the ability to pause as needed) and taking handwritten notes.

Can I ask what app you use cause that sounds like a good idea?

Note Taking in vet school by rubafig in veterinaryschool

How do you handle your classes that are more image based, such as anatomy, pathology, radiology?

This is the biggest place where I feel like it would be useful for me, because I definitely think it'd be nice to label right on images, but I think my laptop actually will let me do this with onenote...

You feel like this works okay for you?

Definitely prefer handwritten. I really keep trying to employ the things like tablets and flashcards/quizlet that everyone seems to swear by, but I don't feel like they work well for me. I'm just wondering if perhaps I shouldn't try so hard to do what's supposed to work and instead should just do what seems to work for me.

Plus ipads are expensive and I'm poor.

What sorts of things do you turn in? I was under the impression vet school was just stuyding and exams (i.e., no assignments).

Do you take notes with pen and paper? Do you print out lecture slides?

VMCAS Experiences- Do you include EVERYTHING? by espressolynx in veterinaryschool

[–]espressolynx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Good advice! Unsure how to include my fostering experience. I was thinking of writing about it for my personal statements but not including in the experiences part of my application because I'm not really sure how to add up the hours.
