But HOW do you do that . . . WHY should you do that . . . and WHAT SHOULD YOU BE GETTING OUT OF IT?The reason you should do it is so that you can learn from your mistakes. Not only will you need those concepts you missed when you take the final exam, you'll need them to understand the rest of the course.Besides, you're going to have to identify and fix any problems with your test-taking skills.If you just casually scan your test, then you may not get much out of it. You need to take a more organized, focused approach.Here's a brief video running down how this works.Want a FREE sample Test Analysis Chart?  More information on how to analyze your test?  Then go to lionden.com/testreview.htm (Source: The A&P...

If you aren’t familiar with ConsultPro Weblink or ImplantVision, check them out. But there are a ton of free resources out there, too. It’s illegal to swipe online content and post it on your website; whether video or text, taking content and using it on your website is copyright infringement. However, your website can link to dental education articles and videos on the Internet.

I would also recommend looking at some of their other videos, here, as they are all impressively well done and deal with topics from S. pneumo to immune-mediated tumor responses.

Here's a crazy video clip from the show sent to me by one of my favorite textbook editors, Karen Turner over at Elsevier (Mosby). It features a musical tour through the brain.[Here's an easter egg in Anatomy & Physiology 7th ed. . . . Karen Turner's photo is on p. 55]Although this clip is funny and includes a lot of "real" anatomy terms and structures, it's not very useful in understanding brain anatomy in an organized way . . . it's just a jumble of random structures, jumping all around and from microscopic to macroscopic and back again. But it IS entertaining![The video player embedded here may not appear in your news feed or emailed newsletter. Go to The A&P Student blog to access the video viewer. ]So why share it with you?Fir...

Other keywords to search YouTube include transcription and translation.Here are some examples . . .Here's a good one that I found on YouTube . . .This is an interesting video that animates the process of protein synthesis using people![If you can't see the video players in your email or news feed, then go directly to The A&P Student blo...

That section also has a great series of v...
