Its been a while since I've posted, just about after everything ramped up I lost all time to post. But last week was the Module 1 exam.
If I have it right, my paramedic program is designed into 10 separate modules. Each of which has quizzes and a test at the end. I guess this gives a much more representative sample of how a student is doing, instead of just one average for the whole class. Its obviously really important for a paramedic student to have a solid grasp on ALL the material, and this system keeps everyone on their toes, and makes sure that "The Well Being of the Paramedic" really doesn't carry as much weight as say....Cardiology.
Besides that, there is a pharmacology "class" that has quizzes that is a separate grade as well, for the same reason.
But the first (very low) hurdle has be stumbled over. A lot of the A and P stuff I have seen before, so it makes the concepts that are stacked on top of that easier.
Overall since we have now moved into Pharmacology, everything seems to fit together as a well designed system(imagine that?) so as long as I make sure that I am really understanding what is going on, and not just trying to memorize, things are moving fairly well.
