“Teaching yourself”

Currently in the accelerated nursing program graduating in May and curious as to how many other classes will be like my current class which only has two weeks left. Our professor has never once lectured us or taught us about a single subject. She tells us to read the book, we come into class and “teach” each other about a section which the last “teaching” was playing out a skit (the most unhelpful thing iv ever done) and then we test. A lot of us are very frustrated and plan on going to the dean and above if necessary as we are spending thousands of dollars to take these classes and are not being taught anything. Our professor also said she has chat gpt make the test and has to continuously go back after every test and give us points back due to chat being wrong because she does not even go over the questions she has chat put on the test. It feels very disorganized and messy and at least 15 students have gotten together to write a letter with specific examples to take to the dean and above as the chair of the program is no help and is also disgustingly unprofessional in a clinical setting. TIA

I think I'm starting to burn out of my APHY101 8 week class. Need advice.

In the beginning i was super motivated, excited, studied 3 hours a day. I got an 85% on my first exam. However, things started to slowly slip after. Started losing focus, getting distracted, not studying with as much focus/vigor. There is just so much information, especially for this accelerated class.

On my 2nd exam i got a 75%. I currently have a 93% in the class, however the third exam is this Monday and I don't think I'm ready for it.

I skipped 4 days of studying last week, and my study sessions have been weak this week. I'm not as interested, I'm doom scrolling all the time, wasting time. It's been very hard to just sit down and lock in this week.

I need an A in this class as I'm trying to get in the Radiology program, I know i want to still pursue it, but I've just been out of it lately.

I think my social media/screen time use has really been a culprit in this, but it's very hard for me to stop. I think my ADHD meds have been losing effectiveness as well.

Does anyone have any tips? I really need to get an A.

Nursing program

I’m taking the pre reqs for the nursing program and I got an A in Psych A B in English 111 A, C in Anatomy 101 and an A in 102. I haven’t taken my teas test yet and mind you I’ve already taken both anatomy classes twice so those grades are sticking. Does anyone think these are good enough grades to be considered? I’m honestly okay with traveling to any campus
