cnp55 - what a great solution!

It seems to me that anatomy and physiology is one of those things that you simply have to put in lots of outside study time for, even if you have 3 hours of GOOD lecturing a week. So informally going to another section seems like a brilliant (and proactive!) approach.

OP:

I don’t know why you are arguing with all the good advice you got here. Really it does say worlds about your attitude. Put yourself in your prof’s position. You admit other people say she’s a good teacher, but she’s trying a new and improved version of the course. Do you have any idea how much work that is, to prepare a semester of new materials!! Then, instead of having a willing class, she’s got a class with bad chemistry (as you say, half the class is whining about the new approach). Whew, I’m exhausted about just thinking about it!
