I am curious to get feedback on various teaching styles at AUC. I only have had 4 different professors so far and have seen such a broad range of teaching. I want to know should I expect a majority of professors to stress some points and then test you on totally different points? I am a firm believer in you tell me what you want me to know, and I will learn it. I don't care how much material or how hard the material, just tell me what you expect. I think it is such a novel concept, but I am sure we all go into tests wondering where did this come in? I know there will be more professors to come in later semesters that will do the same thing. Profess one thing, then test on another. I thought the way school was suppose to be structured was: Teacher tells us what we are to be responsible for, then they test us on that matieral. To all you 2nd to graduates I have a question: How were your experiences in differing classes with the teaching style v/s testing style. What do you think the reasons for testing so different than what is professed?

ditto... especially after Biochem exam #3 i lost any previous idea i had about how i should study...

Remember. In medical school while stressed material will usually be tested on, it is your responsibility to know everything they give you. No two ways around that. Have a nice day.

Once again, this ain't Kansas (college) no more. Sit there, memorize everything, cry a little, take test, cry some more, drink, maybe angry sex, move on.

yeah but what if the things tested on are nowhere to be found in the prof's notes/lectures...

Well, first verify that the prof never said it in class. Then refer to the lub-dub incident argued in this forum when I was in anatomy. LOL.
