I was in your boat a few years ago. First off, medication is my #1. I don't know how I got through grad school without it.
Don't know about books, but I use these websites:
And for day to day:
And for studying the single best thing I've learned is to take vivid notes of my reading with lots of different colored pens. I'll even draw little cartoons and pictures to illustrate concepts. Sometimes I'll write questions in one color on one side of the paper, and the answers in another color on the other side. It's not for understanding, although I'm sure it helps for that, but for storage of coded memory. Works great if you're a visual learner. I will do the same thing sometimes with audio, by asking and answering questions on a voice recorder, so that I can use it to test myself during commutes.
Oh and invest the time in memory techniques like the mind palace. It's a pain to set up but invaluable once you get used to it.
Good luck! You can get it done. :)

Interesting answer. I haven't prepared the samples with any chemicals or dyes, so the only causes would be biological. ~~Wiki suggest: "In addition to appearing as an artifact of staining or drying, echinocytes are associated with uremia, pyruvate kinase deficiency, hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, and hemolytic anemia in long-distance runners"~~ http://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/hematology/deck/6188294 has a picture of echinocytes on one of the flash cards that looks just like these. Search for the word "echinocyte" to find it. Wiki failed to mention slow drying as a cause!
I'm not really sure if it's only my store, but we have stickers on the top of the cold bar that tell us how many pumps and each step. After a couple of shifts, i've been ignoring them. Also, my store has different pump heads that are specifically made for cold bar, which are labeled as such on top.
Specifically for Fraps, I can say that most things that go in it are the same amount. What I mean is how many pumps of the frap roast, syrup, base, and scoops are all the same depending on size. Except smoothies.
Tall: 2 Pumps of frap roast, milk to bottom line, into blender, ice scoop, 2 pumps of syrup and/or 2 scoops of ingredient, 2 pumps base, into blender it goes.
Grande: 3 Pumps of frap roast, milk to bottom line, into blender, ice scoop, 3 pumps of syrup and/or 3 scoops of ingredient, 3 pumps base, into blender it goes.
Venti: 4 Pumps of frap roast, milk to bottom line, into blender, ice scoop, 4 pumps of syrup and/or 4 scoops of ingredient, 4 pumps base, into blender it goes.
The ice scoops are different, the smallest is for smoothies, then the second one is for tall, third is for grande, and the largest is for venti.
A tip would be to go onto http://www.studyblue.com and look up Starbucks. Most will be flashcards that give you the recipe cards that you are currently making, as well as other information you would want to know as being a barista.
Also, just ask some people around you if you are unsure. It's better to ask than to mess up a drink.
Good luck!
From the picture you have sent, it looks like the red lumps you are concerned about your foliate papillae. They contain taste buds and serous glands, and their prominence varies from person to person (but everyone has them).
here is an anatomy flashcard that points to that structure If you look at the answer here, you'll see them labelled.
It also sounds like you are biting your tongue. Unfortunately when you bite our tongue, it gets swollen. Since there's limited space in your mouth, it becomes even easier to bite your tongue once it's bigger. Try to make an effort to be careful and let your tongue "cool off" a bit. That white patch you are seeing might be a bit of fibrous tissue that has formed as a result of regular trauma.
1) They say you can choose 2/3 things when you enter college: social life, academics, and sleep. We forego social life and lots of sleep in pursuit of academics. Not to say I never do ANYTHING fun, but friday nights and saturdays are not spent partying.
2) I say time management is an important factor. For example, me being on Reddit right now instead of doing my physics is a perfect example of what NOT to do. Make use of the time you have and plan to have everything done before its due to make time for any unforeseen events.
3) Have a hobby or a past-time that is completely unrelated to your schoolwork and major. When your brain refuses to learn anything more, its important to step away from the desk and do something else. This also has a big effect on stress reduction. For me it is going to the gym and lifting. If i don't work out then my studying for the day is ruined. Which relates to:
4)Spread out the pain: don't leave studying for the 2 days before the exam. Its better to study and hour a day for 7 days before your exam then to study for 7 hours the day before. This also prevents a lot of stress and anxiety come exam day.
These are just my bullet points and may or may not help you out. Also especially for A&P - http://www.studyblue.com Best of luck
lippincotts pharm is the only one i used so its the only one i can recommend. if the problem is money, just find out when the pharm class is and show up and unofficially audit. grab the syllabus and go to class when possible. learning drugs and med calc is something you can study on your own, but if you are expected to learn actual pharmacology (km, vmax, n-order metabolism, etc) it would behoove you to attend some lectures and at least know some people to ask. no cc professor will care if you show up and ask questions
also, study blue is a great free website with study materials. you can search and probably find a deck that closely follows your syllabus, but here is an example: http://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/ati-pharm-test/deck/10444573
I'm an ARE candidate here. I'm 6 for 6 thus far with PPP this July. This is a good post in regards to flashcards and finding your owe study method. I used flashcards on SS and BDCS, two of the toughest one. As for the other exams, i read ballast and kaplan and take notes. I installed virtual machine on my computer to practice my vignette. I'd recommend checking out Quizlet where you can download and print user made flashcards. It takes the hassle from making flashcards. Good Luck!
One more thing: StudyBlue is a good app to install on your phone. You can download user made flashcard and you can look at them on your phone
I really love the Study Blue App as it is notecards with social elements. You can find notecards that others made to test your knowledge against what they did, and you can also use it to study on your off time.
All that time you normally spend on your phone? Turn that into studying time. That is how I passed my Master's comprehensive exams.
There are a few good ones. I find this to be the best though, for making online and syncing to your device: Study Blue and here is their website.
I've been working through the lessons on EasyPersian(http://www.easypersian.com), I find them good. I've been adding the new words in each lesson to StudyBlue(http://www.studyblue.com) and studying the flashcards on my phone while on the bus, before going asleep etc. It's a good way of building vocabulary. I've found that it's best to add the new vocabulary and study them for a day or two before going back to write the exercise sentences so that there's less need to refer to the vocabulary. I usually do have to refer to the vocabulary to check spellings but I can fairly accurately guess the spelling in most cases now.
I've also been using Pimsleur's Farsi which is quite good for speaking along to. Having tried Pimsleur's Urdu in the past I find it helpful to have studied the script and written lessons at easy persian, it's easier to distinguish words and elements of grammar. I try to write out what I hear now. I've added persian to my languages on the pc and got persian character stickers to stick to the keyboard.
I've gotten lazy though. I need to find someone who speaks the language to practice with and there are no such people locally.
I tried to find more information on it myself. I didn't find any good pictures either but this site (It looks like someone created a website solely to take scattered notes so who knows) mentions beeswax, but nothing on flesh. Was it actual patches of skin coated in wax or what? Some pictures I found did look awfully shiny...
Now that you mention it, i've used Memrise before. It's a great service as well. I just entered a ton of words into Quizlet though, so i think i'll keep it for now.
I just found another similar service when i searched for Quizlet alternatives, it's called studyblue.
Here's my first lesson I made when I first decided to learn Korean. There are others, but I think once you make an account you can search and find them.
This link just shows a preview I think, until you make an account, and it's not showing Hangul (just "????") but it does show Hangul in tje app.
Works on Web, Android, ios and it's all synced up across devices
I would highly recommend StudyBlue. It's an online website to make flashcards. You can create 'classes' that other students can join and you can all share the cards. You can also make them private for only your use. It's free and there's an Android/Apple app for it so it's accessible wherever you have internet access!
On the same note, using flashcards to study for tests is extremely helpful because you not only learn the info by writing/typing it on the card, but you have all of the information in one place. Cards are great for languages, formulas, short answer, true and false, etc.
Although they do take a while to make, they're super helpful and help form good habits later!
yo. this class. is the worst fucking class in the world.
i have no idea what to study whatsoever. the study guide is so shitty and all over the place, the professor isn't clear (although he is a great guy and pretty funny i'll give him that), and i'm just absolutely struggling over here.
i did find this, which doesn't help much but its something.
I know most aren't online, that's why I said almost. But I still look every semester anyway, sometimes I find texts that I really never expected to in weird places. Such as this a few semesters ago. (It wasn't outdated then, I'm not sure if it is now.)
I use a combination of two different things, both of which I discovered this year and have proved very helpful for me.
The first is SimplyNoise which is a site that allows you to select a type of noise and play it to block out external sound. If you use it only when studying you would be amazed how easy it is to get things done. Personally, I find the brown noise to be by far the most helpful.
The other is StudyBlue which is a fantastic tool for flash cards and notes. It allows you to quiz yourself and offers statistics of how you did after you finished, which is wonderful. By constantly quizzing yourself on just the questions you got wrong after each session you can slowly decrease the amount of material you don't know until you have none left and you can get every question right. It's all free AND you can use it on your phone in addition to your computer.
