Also, I did not see a requirement for a labtop. A lot of the students have said that you can get by without one, but would it be beneficial to have one in the long run.
as far as flashcards, people either make their own, buy the netter's flashcards or dont use them at all. with biochem, i have not seen any f.c's used. with anatomy, there is a set made that is in the style of netter's but i would not get it. its not real practical to have it. i personally flashcarded the hell out of anatomy but not biochem.

as far as a laptop, i dont know of any students down here without a computer of some kind... not saying that there no students without a computer, i just dont know any. for the first semester you most likely will not use a laptop in class unless you like to type up notes in class instead of writing. for your second semester on up, you can get most of the professor notes on powerpoint and type notes on the actual slides during the lectures. i have friends that use their laptops everyday in class. i still use the old fashioned paper and pencil but i use a laptop for different programs that we have to use for each class. also, if you plan to get internet in your dorm room or apartment, you must have a laptop.

later,
