Hi! My name is Elizabeth Vazquez. I'm super excited to be in this class and learn the ins and outs of the body. Two major goals of mine are to graduate next year with an Associate of Science degree and be accepted into a Sonography Program. My study plan includes waking up at 9 a.m. every day to get a good start on finishing all my classwork as soon as possible. Additionally, I have a rule of thumb that all of my classwork must be completed two days before the due date to ensure I'm always on top of things or have a safety net if something goes wrong. I wish everyone the best of luck in these next eight weeks.

Hello, my name is Amy. I am completing this course as prerequisite to enter the Adult Cardiac and Vascular Sonography Program here at Lone Star College.
My goal is to start the program next fall. I am short two prerequisite classes, so I do hope to pass these classes with flying colors before the application deadline this spring.
My interest for this field in medicine continue to grow as I recently found out there are only a handful in this profession, leaving many patients to wait for months to get an appointment. Which can lead to fatal outcomes. I plan to work along my colleagues to assist as many patients as possible and eventually start my own practice.

My study plan is to stay organized and a lot of studying. (Flash cards, taking notes, memorizing and actually managing my time right instead of pushing it off till the last minute.

Any work that I am not able to complete with that schedule can then be pushed to Tuesday and Thursday, if needed. But I prefer not to, if possible, because I have a toddler home at that time. I also hope to keep weekends open, maybe just reading on Sunday evening.

Thats great Tina and Brandy!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello all, I am trying to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, and I am almost done with my Associates here at Lonestar so that I can continue at a 4-year university for the rest. I have 4 kids and my husband is also in school, so we have our hands full. I like the set-up of the class with connect because it helps us to work through the material at a steady pace. I plan to use all of my free time during work and at home to get my assignments done. I am able to use the computer at work from 11-3pm, and then at home I can log in after 9pm to get things done. It does not seem too practical but I have made it work for 2 years now. It gets tiring but the end results will always be best.

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello, I am an LVN and taking this course because my A&P expired this semester. I am taking this course to further my education in hopes to begin the transition program this summer/fall and furthermore get my BSN. My goal is to study in the evenings m/w/f and then the weekends. I work home health and schedule my visits in the morning as well as taking micro AGAIN due to expiring on Tu/Thurs.

My study plan includes using study guides, flash cards, and a study buddy. These three methods have helped me tremendously in the past with learning and understanding class material. Also reviewing the key elements of each segment of learning has also helped me do greatly on not just homework but quizzes and tests as well. -Astra R.

Hello everyone! I have already completed the Human Anatomy and physiology classes 1 and 2 already I am here because I need one more science class left to earn my associates of Applied Science also I have a huge passion for anatomy and learning about how the body functions as a whole, I run a supplement company called Imperium Labz and I hope to relearn somethings and gain a more solid foundation for myself.

My study plan is to pick objectives each week, read each chapter and figure out what I know and what I need to brush up on and relearn. After making my goals each week I aim to spend a little amount of time at least with each of those objectives to gather my foundation and quiz myself over the week to make sure I have retained that knowledge.

I am Joseph Gusman, my future goals are not as big as everybody else, and yet it still has competition, I plan on being a mixed martial artist, and though I really don't need an associates degree to accomplish a martial arts degree, I do want to have a degree in some field, thus I am taking A&P My studying will be simple, I will try and at least get one chapter done a day. If it does not work out as planed, because I am taking multiple martial arts classes, then I will organize the time. I feel like the way this course is planned out is good for me. Last time I had a teacher who made homework due in two days, unfortunately I was not able to do some of the homework and ended up getting a low grade. but this class allows me to coordinate my work more. That being said, If i slack off I have no excuses.

Caleb Rider

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello everyone! My name is Caleb Rider and this is my fourth semester attending the Montgomery campus of Lone Star as a dual credit student. While I enjoy classes in person, I find online classes to be just as excellent. I am currently 18 years old and the second oldest of six children. Regarding my siblings, I have four brothers and one sister. Although people joke about quarreling with siblings, my brothers are my best friends. I recently got my Eagle Scout Award this past fall and had my ceremony within the past month. Something uncommon about myself is that I have moved from house to house seven times in my life. I'm originally from south Louisiana, an area of prominent Cajun heritage and food (which I love). Another quality about myself is that I've done studio dance for about six years, while still participating in sports such as football, baseball, and soccer. Furthermore, I'm a huge Spider-Man fan and actually have a custom made suit with the PS4 Spider-man design. I also enjoy weightlifting and playing video games on my computer with my friends and brothers. Regarding studying for this course, I plan on focusing on a chapter each day of the week, studying the content thoroughly and completing the associated online assignments with that chapter. During each day, I would dedicate 12:00pm- 2:00pm for reading the chapter and then 2:00-4:00pm for the online assignments. If I feel like I need to study further then I will allocate time that evening. After this course, I plan on transferring to Franciscan University this fall and double majoring in Theology and Bachelor of Science in Economics. After completing my education there, I would like to hopefully find a job around Houston, Texas, since I both love the area and since it isn't too far from family in Louisiana.

Hello everybody! My name is Amanda Rapalo, I am 21 yo. I am taking this course in hopes of getting into the nursing program. My end goal is to become a scrub nurse; ever since Greys Anatomy, I've had a huge interest in surgery. Aside from this, I love to help people in any way I can. I absolutely know the health care field is for me, I love everything about it. Intro to A&P is actually not a requirement for me, but I've heard it helps when you have to take A&P I & II, so I'm looking forward to everything the course has to offer. I currently work full time, so an online course is the best option for me; I definitely prioritize my schoolwork, however, the nursing program is full time so I am trying to work as much as I can until I start my program. My plan this semester is to always have my laptop with me. We tend to have slow days at the office, so I like to take advantage of the free time and either read assigned chapters from the text book, or get started on my next assignment. I will be dedicating my evenings after work to studying for a few hours - about 7pm to 8:30/9. I have weekends, and every other Monday off, so I hope to be able to find a quiet place to do work and study, or go to campus. I tend to grasp information taking as detailed notes as possible, and I've also heard in A&P courses, coloring/labeling sheets come in very handy! I plan to definitely try that! Good luck to everybody, here's to a great semester!

Hey all, my name is Joseph. Even though this is not necessarily a required course for medical school, I am still taking A+P so that I can stay sharp and set myself up to do well into the future. I have never taken a class in an online format, so I am excited to learn in a way that is completely new to me.

My study plan is to take as long as I need for the first chapter (in order to learn the pacing), then divide the next week into blocks based on how fast I can go through and absorb the material. Best of luck everyone!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello,

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

my name is Salenah, I'm multi-ethnic first generation American, and I began my college career at 14 years old. My ethnic background is East Indian, North African, West African, Spaniard, and Italian. All four of my grandparents are different races, and their cultural diversity has had a major impact on my outlook on life. I have had the privilege of traveling to 17 countries and over 50 different cities, all before the age of 16!
I am taking this course to further my education. After I earn a bachelors degree in science, I plan on pursuing medical school. I aspire to become a doctor for many reasons. The main reason is because of the many opportunities to change someone's life that the medical field provides. There's so many hospitals that are understaffed in the United States, primarily in the urban areas. Because of the lack of medical professionals available to minorities, they suffer from preventable illnesses at a significantly higher rate.
I understand that this is a very short and intense class. Therefore, I will have to be just as intense and rigorous with my study habits. I will invest four hours a day towards completing the chapter material and assignments. In addition to the assigned material, I personally alway seek additional information that relates to the assigned material from other verified sources.

Hello,

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello!

My name is Kishore Balasubramanian and I graduated from UT Dallas in May 2018 in Healthcare Management. I am currently working at Baylor College of Medicine-Center for Cell and Gene Therapy in a translational immunology lab with active trials. This experience exposed me to the entire spectrum of translational research. I was involved in basic science research, manufacturing and infusion of cell products, follow up patient sample processing, and data management. I am also in the UNT-HSC Medical Science Masters program and will be taking an online biostats course along with this one!

My plan is to dedicate my weekends and any free time I have at lab to this course. I am thankful that this course is self paced-this way I can split my weekdays and weekends between my two courses.

Cheers!

Megan Bundy

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi. My name is Megan and I am a graduate of LSU with a B.S. in Kinesiology. I want to change career paths into the medical field.
As far as a study plan goes, I will be reading a chapter a day (Monday-Friday) and completing all chapter assignments on that given day as well. I plan to use flashcards to assist me with my learning/studying. I also have a planner that I plan on using solely for this course to keep me on track and focused on what I need to complete for the day. I know that studying material every day versus cramming information the day before the exams will help me be successful. So, I plan to give myself at least 3 hours each day (Monday-Friday) to complete the chapters, assigned work and study.

My study plan for this course is basically time management, setting aside time to read and do the chapter assignments. Also, taking notes. Technology is great and all, but I like writing things down. I do like take my time the first week to learn the ropes of how all assignments are done. In following weeks, I’ll have a better idea as to how to manage my time with the work load.

I wish you all the best of luck!

Nicole Thomson

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello everyone! To be honest I am not super stoked to start this class as I have withdrawn from it before! Science and anatomy is definitely not my go to subject. I am however excited to try it online and see what I learn from it. With that out of the way now I will tell you a little bit about me. I have a husband of 13 years and two children, 5 year old daughter and a 12 year old son. They are our world for sure! I am taking this class to finish my degree and better my life for their futures! With me having two children and a full time job as well as being a full time student, my schedule is pretty busy as you can imagine. No worries though, I check D2L every other day if not every other. I complete more than one assignment at a time to prevent me from procrastinating. I will give my self about 1 and a half hours a day strictly for this course. This may not seem like much but I am a fast reader and my husband knows when my study time is so not interruptions. I hope everyone has a great semester!

Hello all, I'm currently a full time student here at Lonestar UP and anticipate to graduate by the end of this fall, this being the last science class I have to take so woot! So, this being my last science class I intend to be very engaged with all assignments and try to absorb as much information as I can from the connect assignments to carry the information over into the exams soon to come. Looking forward to a great semester with you all and wish everyone the best of luck in this class!

Hi everyone, my name is Stephanie i am currently on my last semester at Lonestar, then i will get my associates of science in December. After this i will be going into nursing school but i am not sure where yet. Nursing is something iv'e always wanted to do because i enjoy helping others.

Hi Class, I am a part time student at Lone Star and a full time mom and paralegal for a personal injury firm. I am working on my AA in Business at Lone Star and hope to graduate in the next year or two. With a full work week I plan on trying to do a chapter a day or every other day, just depending on how busy I am that day. Even though this class is one of my requisites, I find it interesting and I hope to learn new things and do well in this class. Good luck to all!

Hello classmates! I am a full time mom of 2 very active teens, I work full time for the school district and hope to complete my associates this summer! I have put off the science classes for far to long and I really want to finish my associates strong and graduate with honors. I plan to set time aside every day to study and do assignments. I know from previous classes it is better to stay ahead than get behind and have to take shortcuts to meet deadlines. While this class is very intimidating for me, I am hoping it will allow me to be a better resource both of my athletic sons as well as my mom who suffered a sever TBI almost a year and a half ago along with numerous other injuries when she was hit by a drunk driver.

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello Spring '20 Biology 2404! I am excited to join everyone in learning about anatomy and physiology! I am a senior at UHD, but I also do dual enrollment at Lonestar for extra class credits. I currently work at The Neuropsychiatric Center in Houston's medical center. Working here has lead me to desire a degree in psychology, in which I will be obtaining Summer '20. I am a mother of three, and also of a lil furry baby "JoJo". After graduating I plan on obtaining my MS in Psychology. I am on a little rush journey because I took about ten years off to have my youngest child, and continued to put my academic goals off. This is a shorter course that requires a lot of time and commitment. I plan to stay organized in my assignments and required readings. I will commit to 3 to 6 hours of studying (with breaks in between of course) daily with having to attain so much information. This Padlet is a new format I have never used before in postings, and I think the layout is awesome! I wish everyone nothing but success, not only in this specific course, but in your
journeys as well! It is great to cyber-meet all of you guys!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi everyone! I'm excited to be in A & P, this is my first online class and probably a good thing with corona virus upon us lol but this class is my last pre requisite, I'm going to apply to the ultrasound program this spring so I'm focused and ready to study and finally start my career path and finish next year if all goes as planned! i do work part time and have children so i plan to spend as much as much time studying everyday before I pick up my kids from daycare. Everyday i have 3 hours of assignments and studying i can do, i am very good at managing my time and procrastination is not an option in my life lol.

Jessica Martinez

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hey Everyone, I am super excited to start anatomy and physiology class. I am a mother of two and work Mon.- Friday part time at a Restaurant. I have nights and weekends off so with strict scheduling and my husbands help I will be able to dedicate 2 to 3 hours daily for studying. My goal is to apply for the sonography program next year. so full dedication to each of my classes is a MUST. :)

Mark Cardenas

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

What’s up everyone, my name is Mark and I am in the military stationed in WA state right now. I am here with my wife, Sarah, and two awesome kids Chloe and Channing. I am wrapping up my AA with this class and look to transfer to UHD for the rest of my business degree. With me working full time, my studies take place in the evenings from about 7-10 at night and then the weekends from about 8-1. That gives me about 25 hours a week studying for one class. I am in the home stretch and look to finish strong with this class.

Caitie Voss

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi y'all! My name is Caitie and I am 18 years old trying to finish my AA. After this class I will have one more left eep!! I am doing online classes while also working and starting a new business. My study plan is to try and divide my schoolwork every week so that I have uninterrupted time to really focus on each topic. I want to try and keep from getting overwhelmed in order to complete this class (hopefully) with an A! I am also going to have my boyfriend join me in study time for at least 2 hours every day. Hopefully with my plan I can finish this class with no bumps in the road and confidence in the knowledge I take away from this.

Latasha Smith

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi everyone, My name Tasha I am 27 years old. I’m currently completing my AA. I have one more class online to complete , then I will be applying to the nursing program. I plan to give myself enough time to get ready and prepared for the HESI exam I am a bit nervous. But I’m going to start studying for the exam once I complete both of my current online classes. The best study guide I have is to give myself time I do a brief study over my assignments before actually completing them. Then I go back with an idea of how the assignment will be completed ,instead of overwhelming myself or getting frustration. Biology happen to be one of my favorite subject but I am a bit rusky with the knowledge of the human biology. I have completed Medical Terminology a previous semester so I am a bit familiar but very interested in the class. I’m pleased to meet everyone.

Hello everyone, hope you're staying nice & healthy.
My name is Cj & I'm name after my dad obviously. I went to PV for awhile then I realized I wanted to work in the medical field, so I transferred to lonestar to join the medical radiology technology program. This is actually my only pre-req left until I can take my PSB test. I cannot afford to fail this class so I plan on using a strict study plan which will be 2 hours of studying first thing in the morning before work and 2 hours of studying afterwards for 5 days a week (Starting tomorrow lol) I feel like doing stuff in the am will kill my procrastination.

You can call me Vivi - short for my name... my name is Italian and it means the color green.
A&P and my German class are my last two classes to receive my BA. I will be transferring to U of H in the spring where I will study-major in Finance.
I wake up early everyday to work out, and then work on whatever I need to do. That said, I work on my homework in the morning. If I have a quiz-test, I study the night before and morning of, then take test later that day.

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi all! My name is Krystal Huynh, I hope everyone is safe during this time! I'm currently looking to apply to a radiology/ultrasound program for this upcoming fall! I'm taking classes towards that goal and this class is one of them! My study plan is to try to get ahead as much as possible this semester, especially because we have less time to cover things. So everyday I want to dedicate a few hours of my time to lectures, and follow it up with quizzes/questions/homework for that unit.. I realized this type of plan is optimal for me because the information would be fresh in my mind and I can reinforce the information through homework.

Madeleine Gallagher

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hey Everyone, my name is Madeleine! I graduated last May from Trinity University with a degree in biology. I also played soccer in college and loved it! I am currently applying to medical school, and need A&P as a pre requisite. Trinity did not offer any A&P courses. I plan to dedicate 2-3 hours a day to this course. Hopefully this will allow me to complete about 1 chapter a day. I like to read and take notes from the textbook, and then go back and complete all of the practice questions. My goal is to stay ahead of assignments and always stay organized with my study schedule.

That's like a plan! being ahead of game always helps!

After that I plan on going to seminary to get my master’s degree in Theology. My current profession is personal training, so I spend a lot of time in the gym as well. Regarding my study plan, I want to read two chapters everyday towards the beginning of the week, which will give me time towards the end of the week to do the connect assignments. I will also watch the D2L videos toward the beginning of the week and then study for the test towards the end of the week so I can be fully prepared.

Hi everyone, my name is Brandon. I am hoping this is my last semester at Lonestar before I transfer. My study plan for this course is to spend my free time doing all the homework and assignments I can. A good tip on how I manage my time is with a planner. It usually gets me through the semester and helps me stress less. I plan on reading the material and using McGraw-Hill to help me memorize and learn what I need for the exams. I'm planning on spending my Saturday doing labs. However, if I do need more time then I will devote other days out of the week. Good luck everyone and be safe!

I didn't think it would be as much information as it is but I believe that I'm prepared because I now know what to expect and how important studying is. I plan on studying for this class at least 2 hours a day and completing assignments early so that I can take my time and really understand that material.

Miayan Tatum

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

I completed my bachelor's in Social work back in 2018, however I have a real passion for nursing that I was afraid to commit and pursue. Recently, I was inspired to apply to the LVN program and work my way up to become a registered midwife. I am a very organized person with a procrastination habit. I developed a habit of carrying an agenda with me so I don't forget deadlines, but I have also made a schedule to complete assignments on Tuesday's and Saturday's and read/study MWF nights. The beginning of the course will be a challenge for me due to the lost of mother and trying to bury her during covid-19, however I will seek extra resources and programs to prepare me and keep on track. Wishing all of you good luck and praying for all of our success and goals.

Janyne Dimayuga

Hi classmates, I'm Janyne. I'm a mom of 3 awesome kids and I also work full-time as a respiratory therapist. I'm taking this class to refresh my knowledge in A&P and to also help me do well in taking the HESI exam. I plan to apply to nursing programs in the near future once everything goes back to normal. I would like to dedicate at least 2-3 hours a day to study the course materials and make notes/flashcards to retain the information more. I've downloaded the Read Anywhere app and I've started to use it while I'm on break at work. I hope we all do well in this class. Please stay safe everyone. Cover your cough/sneeze and wash your hands for 20 seconds. We will all get through these hard times. Good luck in the course!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello! I am Theresa and I am married with 5 children- ages 21 mos, 6,9,10 & 15. Our home is a Christ-centered home and my husband and I have been involved with Kid's ministry the past several years- we love teaching kids about Jesus! I have received my associates in early education from Liberty University Online-but had to take a full semester of core classes from Lonestar this semester so I can begin the education preparation program at SHSU in the fall. My goal has been to become an elementary school teacher- but since all of this has happened with the corona virus and my kids being at home I have really enjoyed "homeschooling" them- (which we did for a couple of years in the past). My schedule is completely full whether my kids are at home or at school- I try to get a couple of hours in every day of doing my own school work- and fit it in where I can. We have actually been blessed with the stay at home order as my husband has been home and we are all for the first time ever- on the same schedule and I am not the only one balancing the kids and my own work. For this class I have been trying to work on a chapter over the course of no more than 2 days- so i can assure I will complete all tasks for each week on time. While doing the smartbook assignments I follow along with my hardcopy and highlight/note/postit note the important topics that are covered in those assignments. Praying everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Hi Everyone,

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

So, one of the things which I do to help myself is to make a to do list for the next day before I go to bed.You can make it on phone or on a notebook.
I try to sort out my list as per priority and then follow it next day. Once all the tasks are taken care of, then I take a break!

My name is Lakeisha Williams. I am a mother of three children ages 23,21, and 20. I work full-time and decided to take this class for the summer to try to get ahead. After this class, I will have four more classes left to receive my degree. My degree is in Business Management/Human Resources.

My study plan is to go keep the syllabus handy at all times for reference. Tuesday is my off day during the week so I will dedicate the full day to my studies and the Webex times assigned. When I get off of work, study between 6pm-8pm on the weekly readings and my notes that I take. I will review all the chapters that are due for the week by Thursday Morning and ensure I take the needed exams that are due. Because my schedule at work is the same each week, I want to work ahead so I don't fall behind. I currently work in retail and me working ahead will help because we never know what will change because of the pandemic.

Hello Fellow Classmates

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello Everyone,

My name is LauraLee Maraj, and I consider myself to be a “Jack of all Trades”. I am a busy body mom to six beautiful children ages 16-5, I know that every decision in my life has been based on the present and future of my children, they are my true inspiration. I am married to a wonderful supportive husband who has time and time again been my backbone and has always given me that extra push when I needed it. My passion has always been caring for others and Nursing has always in the stars for me, I applied for the Nursing Program at Lone Star College 6 years ago and I got accepted!! What an exciting time for me and my family, at the same time I was blessed with my 5^th daughter and resigned from the program. It took years of hard work and endless dedication to my family and also to get back on track on my educational journey. I have completed my Certified Nursing Certificate and also completed my Associates of Arts from Lone Star College. This past December I graduated Magna 🤬 Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I also work for Lone Star College as a Program Manager for the Academy for Life Learning Senior Program and The Discovery College Youth Program. I am enrolled in Bio 2404 as a refresher, and with hopes for applying for the Nursing Program in the next year. I am a firm believer in the saying ‘where there is a way, there is a way ‘and am determined to make a way.

My study plan for this course includes

- Reading and understanding the syllabus, expectations and course materials needed for a successful outcome. Follow instructions, seek help if needed.

- Devote time every day to read chapters that are assigned and also study previous chapters. Usually around 6-8pm each day.

- Use study guides and tools provided by Professor Tonger

Be consistent and dedicated and great results shall be achieved!!

Best of Luck to everyone.

Thank you LauraLee for sharing your beautiful family picture!! the strength which we get fro family is very powerful and one can achieve anything with that!
Prof. Tonger!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Daniel Mondragon, I am turning 21 tomorrow on Thursday. I am taking this course because my major is Nursing and I never took anatomy before so this would be a great start for my future career. I plan to attend Prairie View University and hope to get there with a full ride. I will graduate with my graduates from there then attend Sam Houston State University for their anesthesia program they have. After I am done with this I will be a nurse anesthetist. I need to get all A's in my courses in order to do so no matter what it takes.
I am currently working at an amazon warehouse and am considered an essential worker so I have a pretty busy work schedule.
My plan to be successful in this course is to take every Thursday out of the week and review the material our professor gave us. I will also try and take time off from work if I can since taking time off work can be very difficult. If needed I will give up my entertainment such as video games, TV shows and social media if that is what it takes for me to achieve an A in this course. Thank you for your time and y'all have a blessed week.

My name is Elizabeth. After taking a long break from school, I have decided to enroll again. I have switched my major three times, which is the main reason it has taken me a while to get my associates. I am currently taking this class along with Training and Development and working full time, so I know this will be challenging for me, but I look forward to it. After I complete both classes, I would need one more class to get my Associates in Criminal Justice and Business/Human Resources.

I work 10 hours shifts Monday-Friday, so my study plan is to read and work on assignments during my lunch breaks and any free time I may get. Thankfully my manager is understanding and allowing me to leave early when needed. My whole weekends will be dedicated to both my classes.

Welcome!

Hello everyone. My name is Thanh Vo, but I go by T-Vo. I currently work 40+ hours as the lead, and only salon manager of a big hair salon. I am going have to try my best to utilize my whatever free time I have to focus on school work. I am quite bad at memorizations so I know that index cards are going to be my best and most purchased item for the next few weeks. Luckily my girlfriend, bestfriend, and many other friends are nurses so they have already given me plenty of study tips and warnings for class. Looking at the WebEx sessions schedule it does not look like I will be able to attend any of these due to work, though I know it would greatly help me. I will have to watch the recording and see if the topics I do not fully understand. I also know that reaching out to Professor Sonal Tonger via email or Remind is another option that I need to use if ever needed.

I am planning to have Business major in the future. Right now, I am a full-time wife with singing gigs sometimes on the weekends in some Filipino restaurants here in Houston and enjoying baking when nothing to do. It is my first time to do online studying, so far, it is working well for me. I am currently taking 3 courses right now. I think the time management for me will be pretty easy because I am not yet working. For this course, I plan to check the due dates on Mondays and start the Chapter readings and lectures on the same day for 3hours, and I will answer assignments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, attend webex meetings on Thursdays and prepare or study in advance for upcoming exams.

I also usually write sticky notes on my desk about the due dates and things to do so I will not miss anything. I also have calendar in front of me always and put there my due dates :)

I started using a planner previous semester and I write down all that is due for my classes. I even set reminders for significant dates when I have the time. I am currently attending 3 courses that are 4 credits each and two of the courses are 8 week classes yikes. It was nice to meet everyone, and I hope everything goes well for y'all!

My name is Nneoma Kalu. I love meeting and caring for people. I am working towards getting into healthcare programs. My goal is to be a medical doctor, and I want to go through the route of nursing. Taking this class would help me start from the basic. I have three kids and I work full time. I know it is challenging to handle these areas of my life at the same time. This is where planning and time management skill plays out. I have a high expectation of myself and I believe in planning for the rainy days. Therefore, I chose an online class because it gives me the flexibility of listening to videos and webchat anywhere.
My study plan goes thus: use my 2 hours down time at work to read and work on my assignments .When I return from work, get my family ready for bed by 8.30pm, read for 2-3hours daily before going to bed. Utilize my weekends the most to get my work done by putting in not less than 8 hours of reading and assignments. It is going to be fast paced, as such I have to braze up or I will not make myself proud. With my last class I could not do without a daily schedule. I have implemented it for this class too. I have my daily schedule where I plugged in the chapters to read and when assignments are due. I also set reminders for assignments in order they are due, reminders for readings and uncompleted works etc. I set the reminders 2 days prior to submission.
I just concluded an 8-week class and I made a good grade. I will use the same momentum to dive into this course. I look forward to having an impressive grade too.

My plan is to get into the RN program which start May 2021..
These are some challenging times but regardless I'll stay tenacious and assiduous to reach my goals. My study plan will mirror that of the syllabus that Professor Tonger has provided along with using additional resources to succeed in this course. I've be studying while my son is in class. Break whenever he need some help. Consistency and discipline is key so I'll keep forging on no matter how hard things might get.

My name is Emily. I am 18 years old and this is my first semester of college. I am planning to major in nursing and later transfer out to a different university. I am taking this course so I can fulfill my pre requisites for my associates degree and also because it is required for my major. I currently do not work this semester, but I am taking advantage of my free time and using it wisely to study and turn in all my assignments early, and at the best of my ability. I also have a calendar that I use to keep track of my classes, and make lists to assure that I am turning in my assignments in time. I plan to give my best to this class and work hard everyday to make sure I get the grades I want. Good luck everyone !

My name is Morgan. I currently work at an elementary school. I also work nights coaching wrestling at an MMA gym. I enjoy being outdoors. I'll often take my homework to the park with me. I love playing board games and have recently gotten into some computer and videogames.
I've heard this is a challenging class, so I'm nervous to see how it goes. However, I'm also excited to see what I learn. My study plan is to look at what needs to be done each week or section and divide assignments between the appropriate days. I then clearly mark what I need to do each day in a planner, so I avoid confusion. By doing so, I hope to avoid falling behind or procrastinating on tasks. I also found that taking notes helps me learn because it forces me to pay attention to what I'm reading. I then like to explain what I've been learning verbally either to myself in the mirror or to a friend as it helps me know if I understand the concept. Finally, I plan on making a Quizlet to flip through and study any key terms. Hopefully, taking these actions will help me succeed in this course.
My goal after this class is to transfer to Sam Houston and get my nursing degree. After this, I plan to go back to school to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

My name is Esmeralda. I currently work at an ophthalmology clinic. I am the oldest of 5 siblings. I am a first generation college student. After postponing my studies to help at home, I decided to return to college. I plan to pursue a career as RDMS. I like music, food, sports, and writing. My study plan for this course will be to follow the schedule layout given. Staying on track is vital due to being a 8wk online course. I have also done something that I've never done which is buying a planner. Staying organized and focused in this class is a priority for me. After having so many dead end jobs for too long and not seeing myself where I want to be has pushed me to say enough is enough and stop neglecting my education for a better future. Hopefully everyone has a great semester, good luck to all.

My name is Carolyn. I recently graduated with a degree in hospitality, but with everything going on right now I wanted to learn and gain knowledge in another area! My study plan is to read at least 1-2 chapters a day and work on the study guides as I go. Hopefully, I’ll be able to attend all Webex, but if not the minimum 3 is a must! I would also like to finish all assignments on McGraw before the due date by at least 3-4 days if possible. Good luck to all!

My name is Brandon Ardon and I am 21 years old. I started college at UTSA, but I transferred to lone star due to a new job opportunity. This is my last semester before I transfer to a 4 year college. I am currently majoring in radiology. I work 4 days out of the week for a total of 40 hours. My time management skills are terrible. when I first started college, I was very unorganized. however, I started using a planner in my everyday life to keep me organized. I usually collect all the due dates to my assignments at the beginning of the week, and I still go back to the syllabus everyday to make sure I did not miss any assignments. this is my first time taking a science class online so I am not 100% confident in myself taking this class, but as long as I stay organized, I know I will be fine. I do plan on spending at least 3 days out of the week studying for 2 hours. while completing McGraw hill assignments through out my days. To all you freshman that just started college, the best advice I can give you is to stay organized and stay ahead on assignments. those 2 things alone will benefit you a lot in college. A 4 year is nothing like community college, so get a good practice in before you transfer. I hope everyone has a great semester and I hope we all do good in this class!

My name is Salimeh . I am 33 years old and the mother of 2 kids. Currently, I am taking a Biology course, and I like it so much. I am taking my prerequisites courses to study sonography. Being a mom of two and study is not easy and needs to have a plan. I study about 4 hours everyday, which is two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Due to Covid19, my older child is doing online schooling so I can not manage to study during the day, but watching some quick videos that my professors have provided is a thing that I can actually do to keep in touch with my courses. Next semester, I will take a few more prerequisites to get ready for the Diagnostic Sonography program. I am determined to get into the program and finish it.

Thanks

My name is Chelsea. I'm finishing up my associates before I move on to a business degree. My usual days off are Tuesday and Wednesday but I'm off by about 3 PM the rest of the week. I plan on getting my studying and assignments done in the evenings, at least 2 hours a day, and taking advantage of my days off as well. I'm not sure how many Webex meetings I will be able to attend, so I do plan on completing the study guides. I hope to be able to work ahead slightly too.
I won't lie, I'm nervous lol but I know we can do this! Good luck guys!

I'm Barry. I have a bachelor's degree in Pure Mathematics from Texas A&M, which I earned last May. My personal experience left me with little job opportunities other than teaching public school, which I did not feel a strong attraction towards (for a long list of reasons). I am taking this course in order to apply to a Radiology Technology program, and eventually attain a job as a Radiology Tech. My study plan is to read the assigned chapters multiple times each week and complete all assignments ahead of schedule.

I've had to change my mind a couple of times and either drop classes or change the course so hopefully this year goes better. I am planning on staying a full time worker so my days of study will be Mondays and Wednesdays like a face-to-face class which hopefully will make things smoother. Having a refresher and study sessions Fridays and Saturdays and some reading before going to bed. This is class required for my next step so i will try my best to finish it with an A, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Hello, my name is Victoria. This is currently my second semester of college and I am taking this course in pursue into getting into the Radiology program. I'm a 28 years old and a mother of four kids, so I know how challenging my road to completing college will be, but I am determined to accomplish my goal. I am currently working full time, so to hell balance work, school, and kids, I am taking two classes each 8 weeks to keep from over doing myself. I was raised in a medical family, mother being a nurse and father being a emt, so medicine is in my blood. After taking this course I have two more classes to take to get extra points in getting accepted into the program. After getting my associate degree I later plan on transferring to UofH Downtown to work my way up on getting my masters degree.

My name is Michelle and I'm 18 years. I graduated from high school last summer and this will be my second semester in college. I'm taking this course as a prerequisite for the program I hope to get into. My study plan would probably consist mostly of time management because as we all know time can be our worst enemy at times! Especially when trying to balance many things at once like work and school! So doing every on time and not rushing to get things done as well as studying/going over material I don't understand would be key to get through this semester. Good luck to everyone I hope we all achieve our goals!!

My name is Emily. This is my last class at Lone Star before attaining my AA of Communication. I'm a little nervous about the course since I am not really geared in the area of science. I am taking one other class along this one. I work at a local coffee shop in the mornings so most of my study time will be in the evenings. I plan on setting aside all Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons 12-5 for homework since I have commitments in the evenings during the beginning of the week. Thankfully, I am the type of person who is able to sit and work hours on end. I learn better that way.
After attaining my degree in May, I plan to start working for a nonprofit organization as the digital media and communications coordinator.

Right now, my plan is to study after work for about 2 hours at the most but dedicate Fri-Sun to ensuring all my assignments are complete. This plan may need to be tweaked a little bit but I'll know for sure after the first week of class. I wish you all the best of luck in your journey!

My name is Kiriim. I am a non-traditional student and mother of four children - three of which also attend Lone Star College with me. This course is the last course I will need to complete my Associate degree. The most important part of my study plan begins with printing out the the list of assignments and due dates. I typically use highlighters and check boxes to help me stay on top of what is due and when. While completing the first and second week of assignments, I a mindful of how much time is needed for me to complete my assignments which helps me have an idea of how to plan my time during the upcoming weeks. Finally I try to ensure a day does not go by without working on assignments. On days that I have more time or that I am feeling extra energetic, I make sure I take advantage by doing as much of my assignments as I can.

I plan on receiving my Associates of Art by the end of this summer and transfer after to Sam Houston State University to obtain a B.S. in Health Care Administration.

My name is Silvia Martinez, I am 19 years old and this is my first year in college. I'm still getting the hang of online classes, but I soon hope to start face-to-face classes. I am so excited to be taking anatomy and physiology, even though its one of my prerequisite class. I've always been intrigued into learning more about how our bodies work.(in a not creepy way) Honestly, I am still looking into jobs/careers that are in the medical field because there is so many that I take interest in. I've always liked nursing and its something that I've been looking up to, but I also like Radiology, Pharmacist, Pathologist, Forensic Science and many more! This semester I hope to be able to accomplish my goals of gaining knowledge, finding the right job/career for me, and passing the class with good grades. By doing so my plan is to use a planner to plan out my study days and do days. Since I do have work and hobbies, I hope the planner works out for me! And since I've take anatomy and physiology in high school I'll use some of my high school teacher tips to study! This might be a challenge but I am determined to become better at online class and more responsible at completing my work on time. I wish everyone a great semester! It's really nice to meet y'all! :)
Best of luck, Silvia.

My name is Rosa and I am 21 years old. I am currently making my way to a nursing major. My study plan is to look over the assignments I have to do before the due that and try to get them done a head of time so I have time to fully understand each topic and cover any topic that I am struggling on. On top of that I will do small reviews for myself daily by jotting down quick important notes and going over them so I know for a fact that the topic is engraved in my brain.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jessica, I am a mother of 4 children (13,12,3,1), I also work as a CDL driver. I do wood work as a side job at home. After finishing this course my objective is to apply into the nursing program to eventually pursue a career in the cosmetic/aesthetic department of beauty. My study plan includes reading the syllabus and logging in daily to make sure I do not miss any important information. I will use the resources provided. I will make sure to reach the chapters daily and do the work ahead or on time so I do not fall behind. Each day will have an assignment.

Hello everyone, Nice to meet you (:

My name is Hector Mariona, I'm 22 currently coming back to school so I'm super excited about taking this course. I work full time and overnight at a hospital in the CT department 3 days out of the week. So I plan to dedicate at least 8 to 10 hours a day to do just school work the days that I'm off from work. With that been said I plan to complete at least 2-34 chapters a day, and the days that I work go over material for at least 1-2 hours. I will always refer back to the Syllabus in case I need better orientation regarding any questions about assignments and if I need additional help I will reach out to professor Tonger. In addition I will be using a planner to map out everything that is due so I can complete everything in a timed manner.

I plan to dedicate most if not all of my free time to the summer course of A&P. This will be my first college level Biology class and am open to try different study techniques. For the most part I will be creating chapter notes for review and using the: Ask yourself method. Making most of my notes in question format to hopefully aid in deeper connection with my own detailed answers. I wish everyone the best this semester. (:

This is my last prerequisite before I can apply to the Radiology Program at Lonestar, so I am fairly excited about this course. In order to succeeded, I will be pacing myself and taking full advantage of extra credit and supplementary content. I have a planner on which I plan on pacing myself and will be taking physical notes as I go in order to remember stuff better. I wish you all the best of luck in this course and in your lives.

My name is Raymond Schultz a.k.a. Bubba. I am a 59 year old disabled veteran. I have not attended college since 1989 when I was laid off from my oilfield job and forced to work longer conflicting hours, truck driving, forcing myself to withdraw from all classes. I drove trucks for over 30 years until I could no longer physically continue. I have 4 children with my youngest probably 10 or more years older than the average student in this class. I have 10 beautiful grandchildren that call me "POPO" and about to add number 11 with the adoption of a 6 year old Special Needs little girl. Yeah I know what kids today call cops. I am excited to continue my education and finally get that degree I originally set out to accomplish. I am presently not working so I will dedicate pretty much every waking moment to studying and achieving my goals. I plan to finish my degree, get certified in Medical Radiologic Technology, and go back to work at a VA clinic or hospital so I can be hands on serving those who have served our country. I wish all of you success in your educations and careers. I pray all of you are able to stay the course and finish what you have started here. God Bless and let's GET ER DONE. LOL

Hello everyone,
my name is Laura Garrow. I am 21 years old and I am a stay at home mom while going to college at the same time. This is my last class here at Lone Star College before graduating with my Associate of Arts in Teaching. I actually already took A&P 1 last semester but found myself struggling a bit. Since I needed another science class for my degree I thought taking this class would help me understand A&P better. I am also a military wife and I'm currently waiting to find out where my family will be sent to at the end of the summer. As far as studying goes. My son goes to daycare 3 days a week. So I plan to use those 3 days to get all my assignments and studying for the class done. Typically he is in daycare Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but that changes sometimes. So I do not want to set those 3 days in stone as my study days. Just today for example he was supposed to be in daycare but had to stay home because he caught a cold. It isn't always easy to get school work done with a toddler so having three days of daycare is helpful to find time to study.

I mostly work 11 hours a day 5-6 days a week so I will be studying after or before my shifts every day and will take my exams on one of my days off of work. I am taking this course as a prereq for Medical Sonography, at this point I am just aiming for an associates degree to work as an ultrasound tech. I have had some trouble in the past with dedication to school but this time I am going to do things right and aim for the highest possible grade in this course, I hope everyone does great in this course this summer, Good Luck Everyone!

Hello All. My name is BreAnna Gautreau (pronounced "go-tro"). I am working to complete my associates degree at Lonestar and am set to finish this December. I work remotely as a bookkeeper for a local CPA firm and have been doing so for 4 years now. Everything I know has been learned from hands-on experience, so I am excited to continue my education in a different light. My husband and I have been married for 6 years; we have one daughter and one dog. Our daughter, Della Ann, is 2 years old and the most precious little girl. Della stays home with me full-time as well. Being a working, stay-at-home mom and a student presents its challenges, so I am very excited to be finishing my Associates so soon. Our busy schedule means that school is completed and done at any and all hours. For instance, my daughter competes in pageant and is actually competing for her second state title this week! My plan is to continue to keep organized and complete my assignments in a timely manner, planning around all events. Although it makes for a busy day and night, this is what has worked for me in the past and has proved to be successful. I look forward to completing this course and moving forward.

Hi everyone! My name is Alexa Smith. I am 27 years old from Illinois. I have a bachelor’s in criminology and a minor in political science and I attended graduate school for a year in criminal justice and sociology. I currently work full time for the federal government, and I am ready to broaden my horizon into another field. I am taking this course as a prerequisite for nursing. I am super excited to be back in school. I love learning and this course is preparing me. My study plan is to consistently study three to five hours everyday for the next five weeks, whether I am at work or at home laying down. I am going to print the syllabus and double check it every time I am studying to keep myself on track. I do not want to procrastinate or fall behind, so I am going to do the assignments at the beginning of each week. I plan to do study sheets (fill in the blanks) to quiz myself while doing the study guides for each week so I can remember everything to succeed in the nursing program in the near future. I hope everyone does amazing in the class while also enjoying summer!

My name is Trinity Owen, I'm 19 years old. I am working to complete my associates of science at Lone Star Kingwood, and after that I plan to start on a Vet Tech AAS. I volunteer at my local animal shelter twice a week, and I also just got a job as a Veterinary receptionist. I started classes in high school but due to some personal emergencies and my health, I was unable to finish my degree then. I have 2 dogs at home, Brutus and Ryobi. Brutus is 3 years old and we got him form a woman that was selling her puppies because she could not take care of them due to her health. Ryobi's age is unknown; she was dumped in our neighborhood about a month ago and we decided to take her in because nobody contacted us after posting her online and she did not have a microchip.
In order to succeed in this course, I will use the resources provided in D2L and also use my notes from an A&P class I took in HS to help me. Hopefully I can fix my webcam before the first exam!
Good luck everyone :)

My name is Daisy Montoya. I am 32 years old and a mother of wonderful toddlers! I work for Houston Methodist Primary Care Group , full time. I enjoy what I do in the business aspect of working for hospitals/physicians. I am also grateful for all I have learned through out these past years but my passion is really to help people in a more hands on way. I am taking this course to god willing become a Nurse in the near future. A&P has been the hardest course for me to complete and I plan to tackle it once more. I hope to achieve new knowledge and adapt new methods that would help reach my goals. My plan in studying will be to read/study my content during the night around 8-10 and use my mornings to complete my assignments. I also plan on attending the WebEx meetings (during lunch hour at work) and study more during afternoon downtime before clocking out for the day. Since I'm getting back to school after all these years I will rearrange my plan of study as I go or if needed at all. I hope everyone passes with flying colors ! Goof Luck!!

I am here at Lone Star to finish up the remainder of my core classes and trying to save a little money by coming here. I work a bartender in the Woodlands, TX and I usually work about 30 hours a week. I am resident in Conroe with my dog, Pepper, my roommate, and my fiancé. My plan to for this course is to stay as organized as possible as this is 1 of 4 classes I am taking this summer. I am going to print this syllabus and make sure that I am early and ahead of schedule all the time so I ma not scrambling or cramming last minute. I am going to dedicate at least 2-3 hours for this course a day as science is not my strongest subject. I have always been interested in the human body, especially as an artist since my body is how I work. I hope to gain a better understanding of what makes us all tick. Good luck everyone!

My name is Jessica Larson and I am 41 years old. I am a mother of 3 wonderful children and I work full time as a 2 year old teacher in Magnolia. I am currently attending the college to receive my degree in Health Information Technology. I have been married to a wonderful man Shawn that is very supportive in me going back to school to get a better career for myself and our children. My husband and I have been together for 12 years and married 10 on Friday. With my work schedule I try to get as much studying as I can. I use naptime at work to get at least an hour done and then when I go home in the evenings I try and get the usual things done by 8 so that way I can study for at least 2-3 hours a night and sometimes more. On the weekends I try to study all day if there is not anything going on. I am not the best student and when it comes to taking tests I completely freeze. I have a hard time retaining the information that I have read in the book and I know that this is going to go very fast because of the time frame that we are under, but it may help me to remember the things that I need to for the test since there won't be much time in between. I am looking forward to the things that I will be learning in this class and hope that we all get the grades that we are looking for. Good luck to everyone!!!!

After I finish this class I will achieve my Associates of Sciences. I was plan on studying Computer Science but changed my mind hence why I was getting an Associates in science. To study for this class I will take at least an hour or two each day to complete my task in this class. I also plan on attending the WebEx meetings since they may be of help.

Ni Hao (hello in Chinese),

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

My name is Jingli. I grew up in Beijing, China. I am a mother of three kids. I homeschooled all of them. Since my kids are all grown, I decided to go back to school and pursue psychology. This course is my final course before I get my AA degree. I am excited to dive into the psychology study in the fall.

I am a straight A student for the past two years. So, I will devote my energy to ace this one as well. I already printed out the syllabus and created a TO DO page on my computer. At the beginning of each week, I always list out the things needs to be done for the course, and strike through them as I go. Reading and memorization are challenging for me. Therefore, I always give myself enough time to go through the material at least twice to get a good grip of it.

It is my privilege to study alongside all of you.

As this class is going to be fast fast, I am planning on doing homework first thing in the morning, from 6:00am -12:00 pm. This will allow me to focus on other things during the way and to get rid of anxiety about the class.

My name is Tashabby Morales, but I go by Tabby. I'm 18 and graduated high school 2 days before taking this course. I hope to go into the Medical Radiology program so I can become a radiology technician, but my dream job is to be a musician. I'm postponing my dream because I'd rather play it safe. Ive realized that job security means a lot more than what I initially thought. I'd also like the peace of mind that if I don't "make it big" I won't be in a financial mess. I genuinely love anatomy and I realized this late into my high-school career. My senior year of high-school, I started a 3D printing business with my boyfriend/business partner and found out I love managing and planning things. I'm hoping to expand the business as I study these next few years. I'm still trying to find my way through life, but for now I'm willing to work harder than I have before.

I'm on the pre-PA track, although I haven't decided on what field yet. I'm working part time so my study plan will revolve around it a bit. If I'm assigned a morning shift then my priority in the afternoon would be to study and vice versa. I already purchased a calendar, read and printed the syllabus and have noted all important upcoming due dates. At the beginning of each week, I'll take a look at when I'm scheduled, then alot time before or afterwards to spend studying for this class. I'm so happy to be busy again and looking forward to the progress I'll make in this class!

My name is Kevin. I am 23 years old and aiming for my bachelor of science. I work part-time as an interpreter and, unfortunately, have a rather busy schedule with both academics and social life. I plan on keeping up with my schoolwork and estimated that I need to at least complete 1 lesson/chapter per day. My main focus is to be specialized under Ultrasound Technology, as I can see many of my peers are also doing, but it is only a side interests since my major focus is naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine.

Hello my name is Sarah Perez, I am 21 years old and I will receive my associate of science by the end of this summer. After completing my associates at Lone Star I will be transferring to Texas Women's University located in Dallas for the fall semester to attend the dental hygiene program.
My study plan is to minimize my hours at work to only two days a week because I am currently working four to five days a week. I plan on studying after work and everyday to ensure I learn as much as I can and receive an A in this course as well as my other courses.

My name is Chance and I am 35 years old. This is one of the two classes that are away from me getting my associate of arts degree and I felt it would be be interesting to learn about on an in depth level. I am not sure exactly what I am going to major in as I have been thinking of all the possibilities that exist since I have been in the associate of arts program, but I have areas of interest that I am leaning towards to where I will end up concentrating on in my studies. For this course, I plan on working on reading the ebook each day combined with utilizing all of the resources given by Professor Tonger through the D2L online portal. For now I have the time to place a significant amount of time towards my studies each day.

I am really excited about taking this course to help get me to the next level in my career and helping me get into the nursing program. My study plan is to read a chapter each day and do the assignment for the chapter right after while I have my down time at work between 12noon and 3pm. I plan to focus on my labs when I get off of work at night unless I am able to complete them at work during the day. Hopefully this will keep me on track so if I have any problems are questions it will give me enough time to address them before the assignment is due.

My name is Daniela Tapia I am student at the North Harris campus. I have 2 more classes left for my Associates of Science. It took a while to decide what major was right for me until I discovered Biomedical science. Loved everything about it. After undergrad I plan to attend medical school. I always knew that I wanted to be a doctor, specifically my goal is to become a Cardiovascular surgeon.

My plan of study method is to read the chapter ,wright notes, do my assignments wright down anything that I didn't understand and search up videos and of course ask the professor.

One of my study methods is flashcards and start quizzing my self on Quizlet.

Hey!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

I'm Shannon. Here to finish my last pre-req to apply to the sonographer program next year. I have been taking 1-2 classes a semester to get what I need to apply and can't wait to be back in school full time without juggling work. Fingers crossed everything works out and this time next year it will be a dream come true...
Study plan is to finish as much as I can each day. I love online classes where I can move ahead if I need to. Most of my studying will take place at work during down time and on the weekends. I have 2 kids so evenings after and mornings before work are too crazy to get anything done. I have a mom that lives close that will help out with babysitting on the weekends.
Takes a village! Good luck everyone!

My name is Alexa. I am 18 years old, and excited to start my college career! As of right now I am aiming to get into the radiology program offered through Lonestar and this class is step one for me! I am aiming to receive an A so my study plan is to try and get everything done before the assigned due date. It's hard to change habits, but I am determined to not stress myself out and procrastinate last minute like I was able to do in high school. Every Monday I will be looking over each week's assignments and hopefully start on the chapters. I will also try and join WebEx as often as I can to set myself up for success.

My name is Kayla, I’m currently going to school in hopes of becoming a nurse one day. I’m really excited about this class because I love science. My study plan is to buy a planner and write all of my assignments down that way I can stay organized. I am currently working full time and I have 2 kids but I have designated 2-3 hours in the evening to studying and completing my assignments. I also have the weekends off so that gives me time to do any extra credit work or any unfinished assignments.

My name is Melissa and I am 25 years old. I received my B.S in Kinesiology at UH in 2019. I took some time after graduation to work and figure out which career path I wanted to take and decided to pursue MRT.

To be successful in this course, I plan to have all the due dates written out and regularly check the course throughout the week for any changes and I will make sure to complete any and all extra credit opportunities. I hope to dedicate 2-3 hours daily on any assignments/readings. It has been a couple years since I've been a student so I am really excited to start studying again!

My name is Abigail Flores, I am 22 years old, I am doing my prerequisites right now to get into the sonography program here at Lonestar. I love the medical field so this is one of my favorite classes I am taking right now. My plan is to login in to D2L everyday and see what needs to be done every week. Also my planner will be very helpful in getting me organized.

Hello Everyone

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

My name is Jenny. I am taking this class as a pre-requisite to get into the LVN program at Lonestar. I was previously a student a Lonestar College-North Harris as an honor student. I graduated with my AA and proceeded to obtain my bachelors. After doing so, I went on and become a medical coder. My overall goal is to get into PA school. In the meantime, I plan to become an LVN. The medical field has always been an interest of mine, and this is something I am truly passionate about so I know how much time and dedication I am willing to put in.

That being said, I plan to become extremely successful in this class by planning out how I will go about assignments, homework, exams, etc. Reading through the syllabus, I have already jotted down the important due dates, such as exams, homework and labs. Every week, I will be going over all the lecture materials at the start of the week, review them as the week goes along, and completed the required assignments by the third or fourth day of the week. This includes taking notes, writing down any questions I might have, and conversing with the professor/classmates I need any help. Any time left over will be dedicated to finishing what the required assignments or studying for the upcoming exams. On the very last day of the week, I plan to get a head start on the next week's assignments as well as ensuring I am completely comfortable with the previous week's material. In terms of studying, I plan to study a little bit everyday so I don't cram everything in at the end and doing the extra credit which will help me absorb the material in greater detail.

Overall, I plan to be successful in this course and though it might be stressful, I will seek every possible resource to ensure I stay on track. I look forward to this course!

Hello everybody!

My name is Hannah, and I am 22 years old. I am currently trying to complete all of my prerequisites so I can get into the sonography program here at Lonestar.

My "study plan" is to log into D2L every single day after work and get my assignments done as soon as possible. This is definitely much more easier said than done, but I find myself feeling more at ease when I work ahead and have completed my assignments before the due date. And although I am able to print out the syllabus, I am the type of person who would rather write down what I have to do so that I can really plan out and organize my week. So each week, I will write everything that is due on my planner, and try to always stay on track, if not ahead on my assignments.

Hey!!!

Hello everyone! My name is Ariana Gamez. I am nineteen turing twenty this coming november. This would be the start of my second year attending Lone Star College Online. This course was a required course that I had to take so that I can become an Ultrasound Technician. My plan is to stay on track. I plan to do all my work ahead of time and never save it for last minute. During the last school year I didn't miss not one assignment. No matter how long it took me or how late I had to stay up to finish it the work always got submitted before the due date. That has always been a helpful tip of mine is that working on your time management is key. I also will either be printing out or rewriting the syllabus. I find that having it out on paper is more helpful than seeing it on the computer. I also highlight everything I turn in as I complete each assignment. That helps me stay on the right path!

I plan on furthering my education and attending the University of Texas in San Antonio and majoring in Physical Therapy. I aspire to be a Physical therapist and eventually branch off to owning a Physical Therapy business. I am willing to do the best that I can to exceed in this class. With that being said, I schedule my days of the week for this course to make sure I am never behind.

Good morning Professor Tonger and all my classmates,

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

You can call me Veronica, with or without last name, Jones.

Please don't LOL if you know I'm 66 years old now. Fortunately, most of my co-workers have given me between 40 and 45. ha...ha...ha...

I would confess that I'm a little behind in this 1st week due to:
- my tight work schedule (12hrs/d for 60hrs/wk) in a hospital Emergency Department.
- my silly big mistake - I took 08/31 for 08/30, and some unresolved IT technical logging troubles; all of those caused my absence from our 1st Webex on 08/30.

Thanks be to God, our prof has launched the Webex into 2DL, and it seems that I have all needed information now.

This online class is the first one I'm taking. A little overwhelmed feeling at first. But after reviewing carefully the syllabus, I feel quite confident if I could have enough time and strong determination of sticking tightly to the schedule.

I'm planning to preserve 2 hours every night for study, plus additional time on 1 day off-work each week. Hopefully, it helps me to cover the readings and assignments as scheduled.

This class will help catch up my out-of-date pre-requisites for RN program in 2023.

I wish all of us could reach our study target. We are all blessed of being here, in the U.S, with good protection from the pandemic. We would become somehow helpful to life once we finish study and launch ourselves into to the world with knowledge from what we are learning today.

Last but not least, Great Thanks to Prof. for your encouragement since my class drop last Summer. Your hearted words have inspired me to move on, from my total loss vehicle accident in June 2021.

They are still there in my mind, and that's the reason of my enrollment to your class this Fall. I appreciate your reach out to me, your phone call, and your time.

I would say, "Behind the success of a student, there's always the presence of a good instructor".

I wish, as students, we would try our best for your best dedication!

My study Plan for this class relies on keeping up with my agenda and having a neat records of all the activities that i must do for every week, i plan to spend about 3-4 hours everyday working in this class, which i think should be enough, but if i find out i need more time then i will change my agenda accordingly

Hey Yall!

I am usually up all night and sleep all day since nightime is the quietest time of the day and no distractions. i hope to learn alot in this class to provec to my self that a BIO class is not as scary as i have made it out to be in my head lol.

My name is Nhi, and I'm 26 years old. I am currently staying in my country (Viet Nam) instead of the US, so my classes are online this semester. Even though there is a time difference between the two countries, I will still try to attend the webcam sessions to get full credit in this class. Becoming a Radiologist technician is my goal in the future. Anatomy and physiology is a new class to me, and also I feel excited in this class. Therefore, I plan to give myself at least 2 hours a day to do assignments and quizzes. Especially, making sure that I don't miss anything before the due day.

Hello everyone! My name is Breanna Coronel, I am 25 years old, I am taking this class for the Radiology program at Lonestar. Radiology has been an interested in mine for awhile and then hopefully also study MRI technician. I've wanted to be in the medical field just like my mom and sister in law. I'm gonna try my best to make an "A" in this course and study my best. I plan on studying 2-3 hours everyday. Also write every assignment/test that is due on my calendar. Writing the assignments when they are due on my calendar helps me and get stuff done. I also work on Tuesday and Thursday's and get home around 3pm, the days I work, I plan on studying extra hard when I get home.

Hi! My name is Kelsey, and I'm 31 years old! I'm a paramedic for a 911 service, as well as a mother to two daughters and a wife. I'm working on my bachelor's degree in Psychology, and then hopefully my doctorate. My study plan is to dedicate most of my day time to my classes since I work night shifts. I am in other classes as well, so I'm still figuring out the workload of all of them, but I'm sure I'll be dedicating a few hours to this course everyday, especially since I'm retaking this course for a better grade, since the younger Kelsey didn't feel it very important to go to class a decade ago lol. I'm (now) extremely diligent and rarely miss any deadlines for anything. Thanks!

My name is Maira Nunez, I am 21 yrs old! I am currently a 4th grade paraprofessional, but studying to become a Sonographer. since I do work at a school I will plan to work on this course in the evenings and during some free time that I get here and there during my work hours. I am mostly free to do work Mon-Thur after 4pm since I am also a Nail tech but no longer full time since I have a full time job and school now. I try to work on nails Friday evenings - Sunday but will be planning accordingly depending on how many assignments I have to turn in during the week. I try to stay on top of my calendar since I do note down important deadline dates but overall im pretty good at keeping up with my work.

My name is Angelea Perez, I am 20 years old and currently on my fourth semester here at Lonestar! I am taking this course as a prerequisite for the medical sonography program which I plan to apply for this year. This is my second time taking an 8 week course so my study plan is going to be based around what has worked best for me in the past. I will study a minimum of 30 minutes a day and study as much as possible on days that I have extra time. Taking notes and making flashcards has always been extremely helpful for me so that is definitely something I will try to incorporate.

Hello!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

My name is Daisy Angelino, and I am 20 years old. This is my third year at Lonestar. After this class I need to take PHYS- 1410 in the summer as a mini semester and then I will be done with my basics and hopefully enter a two year program at Cyfair for sonography. I plan to apply once I finish these two classes. This is my first time taking a eight week course but I know that they are usually more fast past, and because of that I plan on having Monday, Wednesday, and Sundays off just to study and finish my assignments. I currently work at HEB and had open availability but I go in to work today with a schedule change to inform them that’s those days are only for school and the rest of the week I can maintain my open availability. I especially want Wednesday’s off to be able to go on webex to review the exams and be prepared. I plan on using flash cards but mainly taking notes. Can’t wait for this semester to begin!

My name is Kristin and this is my third year at Lone Star. Last semester I technically graduated with my associates in science, but I applied again to take anatomy so I can apply to the x-ray tech program. My goal is to stay on top of my assignments before the due dates. This is my only class at the moment, but hopefully I can handle the 8 week course while working 45 hour weeks being a server at a pretty fast paced restaurant. Luckily it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I plan on using those as my dedicated school work days!

Hello, Hola :)

My name is Vanessa Carrillo, and I am retaking this class to get into the LVN program at Lonestar. This is my only class along with a full-time at home job with helping set up patient appointments. Sometimes I may join d2l while on my job since it does allow some flexibility. I intend to better prepared than last time since I will dedicate 3 hours after work everyday Mon-Fri for this course along with the weekends to be my full focus longer since those will be my days off. I have taken an online class before with nutrition and managed to get an A, so with good time management I can do the same.

Good afternoon everyone

My name is Hailey. I graduate May 13th and I will be receiving my Associates of Arts. Throughout my years at Lone Star, I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with my life until recently. My plan now, is to pursue a career as an Ultrasound Technician. Since University Park doesn't offer classes for this specific degree plan, after graduating I will be transferring to the LSC in CyFair or to a trade school that specializes in Medical Sonography.
Having took 8 week classes in the past, I know how fast paced things are. My study plan will go a little something like this: Monday & Wednesday I get off at 6pm. Soon as I'm home, I'll eat a snack and work for about 1-2 hours (same for Wednesday). Tuesday & Thursday I get off at 3: 45pm. I will get home and continue a similar regimen. Instead of working for 1-2 hours it'll be 2-3 hours with 15 min breaks. Friday's are dedicated to completing 1.5 assignments before going out with friends. Saturday's I set an alarm for 9am, that way I can get a jumpstart on whatever assignments I left. That way by 3pm I'm done for the day and can party. Sunday's I have no alarm because I usually have 1 or no assignments to complete (if I'm lucky).

My name is Catherine Gunthrie. I am 28 years old and a mother of two daughters, ages 6 and 2. I am taking this class for the lonestar sonography program. If all goes to plan, hopefully I will be able to get into the program next year! I am hoping to get a better grade this time. I did not fail the first time I just did not get a high enough grade imo, so my goal is to get a high B this time around. I am a stay at home mom so I plan on giving 2-4 hours a day Monday through Friday for this class. I am in two other classes as well, so I have to leave time for those. This is my first 8 week course I have taken so I am a bit nervous lol. I will also be writing on my calendar due dates, and exam days and times. I also like to color code things and do flash cards to help with all the information there is to remember.

My name is Ayanna and I am 19 years old ( 20 in June). I am currently studying for the Sonography program and maybe one day Nursing. My plan for this class is to take my time and absorb the material. Due to my work schedule it sometimes gets hard to stay on top, but this semester I am determined to get an A. I took A&P 1 at Sam Houston as well as 2404 last semester. I missed one exam and was doomed from there. So this is my second time around lol. I do not plan on letting anything get in my way from success this time around. Hope everyone has a great next 8 weeks and I can't wait to learn more with you guys.

My name is Hoang, and I am 21 years old. I have lived and studied in Houston since 2018. I usually wake up early in the morning to go to work and do the homework at night. I am taking 3 classes and having a full-time job right now. So, submitting all the assignments on time seems to be challenging for me. Also, Biology is one of my weaknesses. I think today is my last day at work because being a Register Nurse is my dream. I want to focus on this path. After finishing college, I would like to transfer to Texas Women's University. In order to do that, I won't let any distractions border me when I am studying. I will try my best to attend every Webex meeting and finish all the assignments on time. That's all my plans. I wish everyone in here will have a successful semester. Thank you for reading my thought.

I am also a mother of two boys, who are 7 and 6. They keep me busy and on my toes. My study plan for this class is to spend at least an hour or two everyday doing assignments and studying the material. I like to keep a calendar with all my assignments and when they're due. I also like to print the syllabuses of all my class and cross of things as I complete them, I believe that helps me be more organized. I hope everyone has a great semester!

Hi, my name is Giselle Castillo. I am currently taking my last 2 prerequisites for the sonography program. I am taking Biology and Physics. My future study plan for this course to dedicate as much time as possible to ensure that I learn all the course objectives and do my best. Throughout each week, I plan on spending one day on Biology, and then one day on Physics, alternating my focus by each day. So on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I will be doing Biology. I will also have time during the weekend to study more for whichever class needs it the most. I'm excited to be in this class because it is such an important topic related to my field of study. I look forward to leaning more about Biology and hope that everyone does well on their assignments.

My name is Heidy Lopez. I am about to turn 25 and im feeling old lol. I am taking this class as my last science class before I graduate this May. I plan to stay on top of my work but I do have 4 other classes. My study plan for this class will be quite different than my other classes. Since this class has most of the due dates during the week it allows me to use the weekend for doing all the work. I usually do my work for my other classes and finish all by Thursday or Friday. This allows me to focus only on this class for the weekend up until the due date as this class requires a lot of focus. I have a 3 year old who also requires so much attention but as the Professor mentioned she has kids too as so many of you on here do so if yall can do school with kids so can I. My son is autistic and although he doesnt speak much he is super smart. He was watching me read the texbook and started pointing to the nose and mouth and stomach. So I guess my son will be studying with me lol.

Hello!!

My name is Patricia Pina, I'm from Caracas, Venezuela. In Venezuela I graduated as a dental hygienist, and studied dentistry until the 3rd year (6th semester). I arrived here in the United States almost 6 years ago. Studying dentistry here has always been impossible for me because of the costs, a couple of months ago I thought the idea of studying dental hygienist scares me a little because of my English and because of the competition there is. however, it is worse not to try. I wish everyone the best of luck in these weeks.

Hello all, my name is McKay Silva. I'm 20 years old as well as a new student attending LSC. I'm taking this course as a pre-req for the medical radiologic technology program. I took an intro course to A&P in high school so I hopefully still have old notes, and if not, I can always make new ones. I plan to work/study for this class around 3-4 hours a day while working around my schedule at work during the week and having free reign over the weekend. I plan on utilizing my new whiteboard calendar to put assignments to dates and have everything organized in one spot.

Good luck to everyone and I hope we all have a great experience with this course!

Hi everyone,
My name is Lauren Moody I am 19 years old I have been enrolled in LSC since 2021 of January & I love it. I am taking Intro A&P to help me get better understanding for when I take A&P1 as well as A&P2. My goal is to finish all my prerequisites (I think I have 6 more not counting the ones I am enrolled in for fall) and transfer to Lamar University. When I go to Lamar the plan is to study nursing and get my bachelors but as of recently dentistry has been really interesting! My whole like I have in hospitals (not by choice) I was always sick with severe asthma or eczema. Seeing how the nurses took care of me and how enthusiastic the doctors were to help me really inspired me! I can now say I am asthma and eczema FREE! If I am a nurse I want to be a pediatric/or mental health Nurse Practitioner! I could have my own pink practice! Now about me my favorite color is pink, I've been into early 2000's movies as of recently, I LOVE dogs, my family is super important to me, I enjoy reading, and I'm scared for this abbreviated class lol! Since my schedule is now reduced to Tue & Thur evenings because this course. I will give myself Mon, Tue (Mornings), Wed, Thur (Mornings), & Fridays as study and homework days so I can have the weekend!

My name is A'lexis, and I am 23 years old. This is my first semester back from my break from college! After taking the time to figure out what I want to study, I have finally settled on radiology. As for my study plan, I plan to work and study around my work schedule which is typically Monday-Saturday. I will start by making a schedule on my iPad on what I will be doing every day to meet the deadlines of our weekly assignments, making Sunday my main study day since it's my day off. I do have some old notes and lectures that I found from high school which I'm excited about since they'll be a great addition to the new notes I will be taking.

I have a planner to write assignments and due dates so I will be able to cross them out as I complete them which really helps me because I can see visually how much progress I've made. I also have an ipad (holy grail!!) that I love using to take notes and make them very organized which also helps me to retain information. I look forward to intro to A&P!

My name is Chloe Vanhuss-Osmer. I am 17 years old, and I am a dual credit student. This class, specifically, is not dual credit, but I wanted to take intro to anatomy and physiology first so that I will be prepared for anatomy and physiology one and two which are dual credit. When I graduate high school next spring I plan to transfer to A&M Commerce and become a doctor of veterinary medicine. This is the only class I am taking at right now so all of my time can be dedicated to the classwork if need be but when my high school classes start on August 10th, I will dedicate after school time and the weekends to this class.

My work minimum work schedule is about 3 days a week (12 hour shifts), so I plan on studying as much as I can with my free time. Taking this course is my first time really being back into school after a few years, so I am having to figure out what is the best study method for me in order for the information to stick. I will try writing things out multiple times or just reading the material several times. Biology is a subject that intrigues me so I feel that I will absorb the material easily. I will use quizlet for flash cards and YouTube for visual learning. One thing for sure that I will incorporate into my study plan, is classical and lofi music. I believe this has been proven to help with studying and remembering things; it also creates a calm vibe. Most importantly, I will exercise a great sleep schedule and proactive studying (no procrastination). I will be shooting for all A’s this session. Wish me luck!

Hey class

Hey, I'm Omar Khan and this is my summer semester, leading on to my third year of college, I plan on transferring into the BAT cybersecurity program. This class is needed for my associates degree, and I hope taking it as a summer class won't be too difficult. Either way I will have to handle this class with the proper discipline needed to finish. I am a 21 year old student hoping to complete this class and continue on forward to my future. I hope we all will be able to succeed with As and continue forward.

My name is Breann Roberts. I am currently taking one class this semester so my main focus will be on this class. I work most of the week so most of my homework will be done during the nights and weekends. I have got flashcards to help with each system studying. I am finishing up my general associates degree and then further my education in Physical Therapy. This is the third time i have gone back to school to get more education. I love learning and growing or just continuing my education in different fields of study. I love the medical field and enjoy learning how to help my patients. I have been married for five years and we are enjoying being together before we add children to the mix. i have a full blooded Siberian Huskey and right now he is my pride and joy other than my work. I am so excited for this course and what I can learn from these chapters in this class. I will be studying 2-4 hours a day to match my work schedule, using the textbook, my flashcards, and some extra books i have from my old classes that i still have and love to use. I am so excited to meet everyone and look forward to this class this semester.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Evan Kennon, I am 21 years old and am currently enrolled in two classes this summer at LSC. I attend Texas state university but thought it would be a smart idea to take summer classes at LSC because they are cheaper and I want to graduate sooner. I am major in exercise and sports science with a concentration in pre-rehabilitation. I really don't create a study plan until I get my first test back and go over what I did right and wrong and get a feel for how the test will be. I always make sure I know due dates which is one reason I don't get stressed out in school as much as I use to. I have a sister that is about to graduate high school so I try to be a role model for her. Overall, I am excited to take this course and meet you all!

I am currently working on my Associates of Science here, however I plan to transfer to another collage after that and will be working towards becoming an Archeologist or Anthropologist (well see how I end up feeling about this class) My study plan for this class is honestly just getting on daily and tackling what I can in the time that I can find. I am hoping getting on daily keeps me on track, or preferably if I can manage to get a little ahead that would be better. That could change and I may need to set a time limit per day, I will know how my plan works after this first week and will adjust as needed. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE THIS FALL SESMESTER, KEEP YOUR HEADS UP AND BE SAFE <3

I'm 22 and I spend most of my time outside of work with my girlfriend and our dog, either going out or staying in, and plan to transfer to Texas State to achieve my bachelors. I'm taking my last three classes this fall, two of which are science courses including this one. Science hasn't been my strongest subject, so I really want to stay on top of things especially in this shorter class. I work 8-10 hour days, four days a week, so I plan to complete my assignments on my off days to balance the load. I have gone through the syllabus and typed the assignments and due dates into a schedule so I can be sure I complete them on time. For exams, I plan to start studying the material as soon as I finish the weekly chapter so that when exam week is here I will not be overwhelmed. I hope everyone has a great semester with this class and their other classes.

Hey! I'm Deserey and I am taking this course as a pre-requisite for my Medical Radiology Tech program. I am also pursuing my certification as a Certified Personal Trainer. I plan on working on both of these careers for a few hours a day or whenever I have free time. I start my days off by waking up at 3:20 am or 4:30 am depending on if and what time I work that day. I work a part-time job that has a varying schedule, so I can't really say exactly how I plan to lay it out. My goal is to become a Certified Personal Trainer soon and work as one while I continue my education as a Medical Radiology Tech. The future can be uncertain at times, but this is my goal.

Hi!!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi everyone! My name is Janie Downing, and I am a sophomore hoping to get into the radiology technology program at Lone Star. As well, I am pursuing a psychology degree to become a counselor. I have developed a few methods that might help me succeed in this course. I am taking three courses this semester (one in-person and two online). However, my other online class has the entire course available, and I am working hard to knock it down (I now have 3-4 more weeks left to complete). By completing this course earlier, I will have less stress about my entire courseload and extra time to dedicate to this course. To tackle this course specifically, I will write down what I want to accomplish each day in my planner and highlight when I completed my desired assignments. I have also written down the due dates for each assignment. I plan to dedicate 3-5 hours each day to the course and get ahead as much as possible; that way, I have more time to study for the exams. Usually, I will start with the objectives I am not looking forward to the most; that way, I am dedicating valuable time to the assignment and ensuring it is done correctly. If I leave it on the back burner and procrastinate, it may not be completed with much effort. I plan to wake up one hour earlier (around 7:30 AM) and get started as quickly as possible. What has worked for me in my other classes is following the Pomodoro Method (one study for 25-50 minutes straight, and then you have a 10-15 minute break between each study session). I found this method helpful because I am being productive during each session, and with the breaks, I have time to decompress and not feel as burned out. When it comes to taking notes, I plan on handwriting my notes because I find myself comprehending the material more than simply typing or reading it. When studying for the exams, I plan to utilize the provided study material and try to make my own "mock" exam or make flashcards (either using Quizlet or handwriting them). I am also making my own study material in case the system is down, or I cannot access wifi or cellular data. I plan to make the study guide as I go along with the material so that I won't be as crammed/stressed about it. I hope to follow my study plan.

My overall goal is to study smart, be productive during each session, and understand the material.

I hope that everyone enjoys the class! Good luck!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi everyone. My name is Cindy Garcia. I am a mother of two, ages 2 and 5. I am trying to get accepted into the radiology program, and this is the only class I still need to complete to apply. This is also the only class I am taking this semester as I volunteer at my son's school, have a job, and care for my two-year-old boy. Luckily I work from home. I plan on working on this class assignment in my free time. Working from home allows me to do many things once I have completed my projects for the day. Which usually only takes me 2-3 hours a day. I am typically free after that, and that is when I plan to work on the class. I also plan to take care of this class at night and on weekends. Additionally, my husband, mom, and mother-in-law are very helpful with the kids. I might volunteer at my son's school less than I do during the course. I do not want to overwhelm my brain. I'm looking forward to seeing how this semester goes. Best of luck to everyone!

Hello, my name is Yaleina. I am taking this course because its a prerequisite for the nursing program in Lone Star College.
My study plan is to put my homework first. Study for at least 2 hours a day and write what is due on my board. I wish everyone a good semester!

My Name is Natika, I am taking this course for the Nursing program here at Lonestar. My study plan is study when time permits, mainly after work and weekend.

Hello Everyone :)

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

My name is Devyn. I am taking this class as a pre-req to ultimately apply for a mri tech program. I currently work a full time job 8-4:30p with weekends off so I plan to study after work for 2-3 hours and on the weekends. This is my only class this semester so it'll have my full attention while studying and completing assignments. Goodluck everybody :)

Hello

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

My name is Brandon. I'm thirty years old. For the past 7 years, I've worked at a special needs school for aggressive and violent students. I have two classes left to complete my associate's degree, after which I'll transfer to Sam Houston to complete my special education degree. I want to set up a study schedule for myself that includes fitting study time in between work and certain times throughout the day at home and on weekends.

I am Jasmine

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi,

I am Jasmine :)

I have two kids and a full-time job. I've always wanted to work in healthcare, but I wasn't certain of what to do. I therefore choose to take some time off after earning my associate's degree in science. I am back in school right now. After completing this course, I intend to apply to the Radiology program at the Lonestar Cy-Fair campus.

I plan to work on homework and study after work and on the weekends.

In order to make sure I meet deadlines, I will also have my syllabus close at hand.

I am eager to learn everything I can this semester and see how things go.

Hello

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

My name is Jaime H. I am working towards the associate of science degree with plans of becoming a registered nurse. I have been married for sixteen years and have three children ranging from ages four to fifteen. My study plan will first involve removing all distractions such as my phone or tv so that I can completely focus on the material. While my kids are in school, I will devote two or more hours (ex: 8AM-10AM) to reading, watching videos, and doing practice questions as well as another two+ hours at night after they are in bed (ex: 8PM-11PM) to look at discussion posts, smartbook, and review all the material. I prefer to have a paper planner/check list vs using my phone and everything on the syllabus has been written down (I am also a big sticky note person). This is my first online class, so I believe daily check ins on D2L are important so that I don’t miss anything. Good luck everyone!

Hi, I’m Savannah!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello my name is Savannah T. I am 18 years old. This is my second semester at Lonestar. I am a freshman and plan on transferring to a 4-year university in the fall. Currently I am working towards getting my bachelor’s in Kinesiology and Pre-Health, therefore I can work in the medical field and later go to Physician Assistant school where I can specialize in Aesthetics and Dermatology! I am a big planner, therfore I have already created a calendar that has all of the due dates, as well as keep a weekly schedule of the day’s I will complete each assignment! I have a room in my house where I complete school work, it is without distractions and has all the supplies I need. I plan on completing my assignments in a timely manner as well as reading through the book and lessons while actively taking notes to help my learning! Good luck to all of you, I wish you the best for this course and for these last 8-weeks until summer!

My end goal is to either work in a chemical lab or become a medical laboratory scientist. My study plan would be to put in at least an hour of studying before I go in to work and finish any assignments needed after work. Also on my days off I would spend half of my day at least studying and finishing any homework due.

Hi everyone :)

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello! My name is Andrea Benitez I am 20 years old, I’ll be turning 21 next month. I am a mother, I have a 1 year old baby boy named Zion! This is my third semester attending Lonestar. At the moment I am working on finishing my pre-requisite classes in order to apply to the Sonography Program at Lonestar Cy-Fair. This is actually my second time taking this course since the first time I took it I had a lot of things going on in my personal life & I was not able to give it my all mentally & physically, however I’m determined to pass it successfully this time. My study plan is to get up extra early & spend all my morning reading my chapters, getting assignments turned in, just overall studying & trying to familiarize myself with the curriculum. I am a stay at home mom so once the morning is over & my son wakes up I know that I’ll be busy attending his needs & getting personal things done which is why it’s very important for me to use my morning efficiently & once my boyfriend arrives he will be fully in charge of taking care of our son so that way I can continue any school work that I need to do & just continue to study. I know that this class is taken in a shorter time frame so I’m going to discipline myself & just cut out any distractions so I can fully focus on school. I wish all of you guys luck & we got this!

Hello I'm Sydney!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi i am sydney. I am 20 years old and this is my last couse before I apply for the Sonography program in May. I hae taken this course already one time my first semester of college, but I got a C and I would like a better grade before applying for the program so I have a better change at getting in. I work full time so it is hard to balance between school and work but I have no other choice. My study plan is to focus more on what will be on the lecture test this go around since last time I took this course I focused more on labs. I plan on working on this course everyday once I get off work to keep up with the fast pace considering i struggled when I took it a full semester but this time I only have 8 weeks.

Hello, my name is Irene and I am currently 19 years old. This is my last class before finishing up my Associates in Science this May at Lone Star Montgomery and I am very excited. I am first generation in my family to go to college. I am currently undecided of what program I would like to apply to but definitely something in the medical field. I was pursing nursing but have changed my mind recently due to self-doubt but it is okay, because there may be something much better for me. I live alone with my boyfriend and work full time. We are currently trying to see what we want to do with our life's, and he is thinking of going back to school to be a firefighter while I might go to the lone star surgical tech program. I am just young and trying to find myself and I am very excited to see what god as in store for me. :)

Hello

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hi all! My name is Aubrey, I am currently 24 years old and am a licensed massage therapist. Going to a trade school at the young age of 20 was what was best for me at the time, but now I am looking to get back into school and go the more traditional route. I need to complete this class in order to be considered for the Sonography Program at Lonestar, however, this course will still be considered a core even if I don't get accepted into that program. My study plan includes making time for my study a little bit each and every day. I want to say at least an hour. But ideally any extra time in between not having clients I plan to put towards this class. I learned a lot about anatomy in massage school, so I'm hopeful that I have a good foundation going into this class to succeed. Wishing everyone the best of the luck in their professional and academic endeavors!

Introduction

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello, my name is Jose. I am 19 years old and studying to become a nurse. Introduction to anatomy is the last science class I need to finish my associates of science. I’ve already taken AP1/2 and microbiology. So i kinda went backwards on the lineup of science classes. Some fun facts about me are that I like baseball, I play and also help coach my brothers team. I’m a huge sports fan and also like betting. My study plan for this semester is to study everyday, specially since it’s the first time I take a course like this online. I also plan on joining all the calls and watching the PowerPoints. I have previous knowledge on anatomy so I hope to use that to my advantage. My goal is to get an A at the end of the semester.

Hello my name is Unzie, and I am 24 years old. I'm majoring in Digital Media Innovation at a another college, and this class is my second to last class that I have to take to get my Bachelors. For some reason, I need a 1 credit hour in another Science after all ready taking 2, they don't make 1 credit science courses so I have to take a whole class. I've taken online classes like this before so I'll just keep up with the assignments and finish them early. I'll also take good notes and go over them for awhile to study the material to be ready for the exams. I wish the best to everyone in this class.

Hi, my name is Xavier P :)

Hi everyone. My name is Xavier Price, and I am a 20 year full time student. I am super involved on campus by working in the student life building and the few organizations I am in. I am taking this intro to A&P class to replace my old grade I, unfortunately, didn't do so well in :/. The study pattern I'm hoping to maintain is honestly doing what I need to do daily, meaning checking on D2L for assignments due soon and reviewing my study guides and coursework. After completing this course, I plan to become a travel RN and further my studies to become a Nurse Practitioner.

I hope I and everyone do well in the course. :)

My name is Le Bui. I'm just turning 21 last month and I am a 2nd-year student at Lone Star College - CyFair Campus. Learning Biology in a language that is not first language is hard but I would try my best.

Thank you everyone for reading this.

Introduction

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello,
My name is Tristin, and I am nineteen years old. I currently spend my time balancing work, school and rodeos. I have about 16 horses, 3 dogs, 2 cats, a ferret and several more animals. I have been riding horses since before I could even walk. I am attending school online this semester and taking as many classes as I can. After my basics are done, I planned on attending the sonography program. I will use my education to become an ultrasound technician for human medicine. I want to either specialize in ob./gyn or work in a children's hospital. One day I plan on furthering my career of ultrasounds into the animal side as well. I have learned I tend to be a visual learner and have a good memory. My plan is to trace/write out what we are studying for the week at least four times if not more. I take my computer with me when I think I will be away from the house all day, i.e., rodeos or working at my mom's all day. I like to study and do homework in between runs at rodeos or at night after the gym. I always make sure to at least open all my classes every day, even if I do not work on anything. Lastly, I set a rule for myself that I cannot go out and have fun on the weekends unless I have done all my homework and studied some.
Thank you for reading,
Tristin

Side note: This class may seem like a lot, but I know we all got this. :) Take it one week at a time!! Good luck to everyone! <3

Hello everyone!
My name is Mercy! I am 20 years old and a full-time student here at lone star!! I love learning new things and spending time with my cat Luno!

My study plan is to prioritize this class, and write it in to my daily schedule. I recently had the flu (so that put me behind), but I want to make sure I spend at least a hour a day studying!! And then spending another hour finishing up assignments. I want to take notes while after reading each section in the chapter and then study them or do practice questions on connect.

I hope everyone has an amazing rest of their semester!!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello Everybody!
My name is Mya and I am 24 years old. This is my final semester at Lonestar, I'm not exactly sure what I want to major in but I know for a fact that I want to be in the medical field. I have a 6 year old son and he is the reason that I am going to school and building to set a foundation for him and my future children. This semester I plan to actually put time to the side and study, a long with making notecards to help me remember information. I never really be a study type of person, I tend to do pretty well under pressure but I'm looking to pass with a "A" in this class and nothing less. I hope that we all pass and are able to help each other out in any way possible.

Good luck everyone!

I will be doing premed , I want to be a ped doctor since I love kids but we will see.

I have taken A&P 1 already so I will be using those notes to help me in this class.

Hello everyone, my name is Sydney and
I am 30 years young! I am a full time student and I have a full time job. Balancing can be tricky at times but I believe I have it down. I am going to school Science because it’s always been fascinating to me and there is always change. My study plan is to do my work before the due date to where I’m at least 2 weeks ahead. I work overnight so when I get off, (as I am currently doing) I can study for 2 hours, then go to sleep. On my off days I will get the majority of my work done. I wish everyone the best of luck !!

Hello, My name is Alex!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello everyone, my name is Alex! I am 21 years old. I am currently juggling a full time job and school. I am working on completeing my prerequisites to be able to apply to the diagnostic medical sonogram program at lonestar in cyfair. My goals for this class to definelty pass, but also to retain the knowledge from this class. As its obvious that going into healthcare you need to know your anatomy. My study plan goal consists of reading the chapters, taking notes, and studying. I am a what is thought to be sub-type of visual learner. Reading and really making sure I can comprehend what I read while also writing it down has helped me retain the infomation. With that being said I do have to wear glasses and often get brusies on my hands from so much writing haha, but its worht it! Since I do work a full time job from 8am-5pm, it is concering how much time I will have to study. My goal is to study during as much down time as I have at work and even on lunch. Also, when I get home after dinner I am aiming to spend at least 2 hours reading/studying rather than on my phone watching tik tok videos. I know Im guilty of doing that a lot!!
It is nice to meet all of you virutally! Happy learning!

Hello everyone, my name is Fatumah. I am 19 and a full-time student at Lone Star. I am currently taking this class because it is a prerequisite for the rad tech program. I'm aiming to become a radiologist one day. My study plan is to make sure I'm always ahead. Making sure that I have time to double-check my work and make sure I understand. I will take notes and go over them to retain the information. I hope that I pass the class with an A. Thank you.

Hi everyone! :)

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

My name is Gisell. I’m 24 and I’m a full-time MA while going to school. I’m not too worried about doing both since I learned to manage my time very well. It’s a key thing to have so you are on top of what’s important. On my spare time I love traveling, going to the gym, playing soccer, and spending time with my family & friends. My goals in life are to become an ultrasound technician, but to be fair that was not my original pick. I was interested in pursuing pediatric nursing but as I worked with other ultrasound technicians, I began to grow a feeling for becoming one myself. The set-up that I will be using for my study plan consists of writing out all of the assignments/exams/lectures on my planner. This helps me visually see when assignments/exams are due and how much time in advance I need to study. Since I do work full-time, I tend to bring all of my school material to work and try to do a little bit while on my break. I usually like to go to a library or a coffee shop to study after work. When it comes to note taking I prefer seeing hard copy prints so I can add my own notes to help simplify bigger meanings and I also like to do my drawings. To help make sure I understand the material I like to read it, write it, and talk about it. This method has really stuck with me and I definitely recommend it. I hope everyone has a great semester, best of luck! :)

I work at Kumon as a tutor. I love to play soccer. I have a lot of animals. My hobbies are watching movies, tv shows, listening to music, cooking, baking, shopping, and hanging out with friends. I am taking this class to complete my associate degree when I graduate high school. I want to go to A&M, and major in Society, Ethics, and Law with a double minor in philosophy and psychology. I then want to go to law school at University of Texas to become a lawyer. For my study plan, I prefer to do my homework in the evening around 10 or so after I do everything else for the day, like working, eating, exercising, and having fun. I do as much as I can without pushing myself to do it all at once or too little at once, just what I feel like doing for the night. I have found this to work well for me because I do not follow a very strict schedule, but I still remain organized and responsible.

My name is Charity Goto and I am a paramedic at a hospital. I am taking this class to refresh my A&P skills so that I can apply to UTA in the spring for nursing. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends and family, crafting whenever possible, and traveling!

Introduction!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello everyone, my name is Karla I am a 29, mother of 3 beautiful kiddos, currently a full time mom/student. Some of my hobbies include baking, riding bikes, reading, but my favorite one is riding my horse Tasha. She's my peace when I need to unwind or need alone time. This is my second year as a college student and it has definitely been a roller coaster. I worked on getting most of my required credits and this class is one of the last ones I had left. I was a little scare because everyone talks about how difficult this class can be, but I also have heard from other students that it's all about staying on top of things.
For this class I plan to stay on top of assignments and deadlines. Note cards will be my best friend for the next couple of weeks, and I also purchased a really interesting coloring book of the anatomy of the body to help me with memorization. I am really looking forward to learning new things with this class.
Study tips and study sessions are more then welcomed :)

Intro + Study Plan

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello all! I'm Stephany Chavez. I'm a first-year college student at the age of 25 because well, I've been having a lot of fun for the past few years! I just now decided to go back to school because I am really passionate about helping others and the field of medicine. I am focused and committed to my studies which would not have been the case had I attended school a few years back. My goal is to attain an associate's in nursing and then continuing for my bachelor's degree. I took anatomy in high school and it was one of my favorite classes. A lot of the material stuck with me so I'm excited to revisit the subject. In high school, I was an athletic trainer and hospital intern as well. Getting back into what I'm passionate about is a very rewarding feeling. My study plan is to work ahead in order to allow time to focus on challenging material. Also taking effective notes and making time to study the material before exams. I find that success in college is largely associated with self-discipline. Good luck to everyone!

Hello! My name is Kristin and I am 22 years old. Thing's I love to do the most are reading books, listening to music, spending time with my loved ones, and making social media content with my friends. My plan after Lone Star is to transfer to either University of Houston or return back to Sam Houston to pursue my career as a Psychology Teacher.

I have a monthly planner that helps me accomplish this task. Smooth Studies everyone!

Intro & Study Plan

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello, my name is Brenda Perez. I am currently finishing my prerequisite courses so I can apply to the radiography program. I am a mother of two, my son is 2-years old, and my daughter is 12-years old. They keep me pretty busy. However, my study plan is to wake up earlier so I am able to have some quiet time to study before we get our day started. I plan on making time throughout the day to complete assignments. I have also downloaded the app on my phone so I can keep up with the chapter readings. Most of the classes I take are online so I’m pretty confident that my studying for the class and prepping for exams shouldn’t be too complicated to follow.

Ihsan Shegow Introduction

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello everyone,

I'm Ihsan Shegow, and I'm excited to participate in this Anatomy and Physiology course, a component of my Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) in Cybersecurity requirements. While my main academic pursuit revolves around cybersecurity, I appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of education and the potential insights gained from diverse fields.

This course holds a unique place in my educational journey, offering me the chance to broaden my horizons beyond cybersecurity. I believe that understanding the human body's intricacies can foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills applicable across various disciplines.

To navigate this learning opportunity effectively, I'm constructing a pragmatic study plan. Firstly, I'll set clear objectives, aiming to grasp the fundamental concepts without venturing into exhaustive detail. Efficiently organizing my study resources, including textbooks and supplementary materials, will be pivotal in optimizing my learning process. Considering my commitment to cybersecurity studies, I'll thoughtfully design a schedule that enables me to balance both fields efficiently.

In terms of study techniques, I'll engage in active learning strategies such as summarizing complex information in my own words and creating visual aids to enhance comprehension. Regular revision sessions will play a significant role in consolidating the material and preparing for assessments. While my primary focus remains on cybersecurity, I'm enthusiastic about the insights Anatomy and Physiology can offer, enriching my interdisciplinary skills.

Thank you for understanding my diverse academic journey, and I look forward to engaging with the material and collaborating with each of you.

Doing this will for sure help me memorize the materials.

Keyanna Wyble Study Plan

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello everyone, my name is Keyanna Wyble. I am 31 and a mom to 2 amazing little boys who keep me on my toes. I've enrolled in this course to refresh previous credits for A&P 1 and 2 that have expired. My goal is to start the LVN program in Fall of 2024. I've always had a passion for nursing and helping people since I was a little girl. I came close to reaching my goal and starting my nursing program years ago, but my mother had a massive stroke 3 weeks before I was due to begin. Since the day she was released from the hospital I have been her full-time caregiver and in home nurse (unofficially), but thank God she is recovering and now at a point where she is able to be self-sufficient with most tasks and I am able to pick up where I left off with my education. My life revolves around appointments, alarms and schedules already, so in order to be successful in this course I have planned to block off an allotted amount of time 4 days out of the week dedicated to studying and assignments as shown in the attachment. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my boys and family. Often times we have family paint night, movie night, skate night or family dinner together. When I have time to myself I enjoy doing DIY projects, playing pool, bowling and napping. Happy studies everyone!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

I was in the RN program at Tomball over a decade ago but wanted to stay home with my kids, so I started my own corporate nutrition consulting company. They're off to their respective colleges now and I want to move to the west coast and open a medical clinic. I'll be applying to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Echocardiography at Cy-Fair after repeating a few courses that are no longer eligible to meet CORE prerequisites due to how long ago I took them. I took AP 1 and AP 2 (received As) but I honestly need the refresher. I work from home and remotely at times and this is my only class this first 8 weeks because I need to get into "the swing of things" before I am taking numerous courses again. I am not a fan of 100% online due to being distractible BUT again...this is my only course. Ill go up to one of the campuses and sit in the library to get the classroom feel if I cant concentrate at home. My study plan...is to plow through course work when I can. Due to my weird schedule, I work on things that I need to concentrate on in the middle of the night. I'm an introvert for study group so I will not be participating in any study groups but will etch out time if one person needs to bounce stuff off someone else and you live in the Klein area (or close to LSC -University Park) just email me in D2L. Best of luck to all. It looks like most are on the same educational path as I am, which is nice. I am still friendly with most of the nurses that were in my cohort a decade ago.

I am currently in my last year of receiving my Bachelors in Cybersecurity here at Lone Star College. I currently work at TSU but choose to take classes here because it is cheaper in price. I grew up in a medical family, but my passion is more with technology. I took this course because I feel it will come easy to me since i grew up around nurses and doctors, so I know a little something about the human body. When I'm done with school, my goal is to become a Digital Forensic Investigator. When it comes to study techniques for this course, I tend to do better with learning when I draw out what I am learning, so while I'm writing notes, I will have illustrations on what I am studying.

Hi everybody!

My name is Julia Guzick. I am a mom of two beautiful children. My son, Levi, is five, and my daughter, Violet, just turned three. This is my first full semester back at school. I'm planning on applying to the Radiology Technology program here at Lonestar. With this class I plan to further my goal of becoming a X-Ray Tech.

My study plan is to try and read a chapter a day. I also have a very detailed planner for my labs and quizzes. I tend to do the majority of my studying at night. With small children it is difficult to focus during the day. Usually starting around 10pm is when I'm able to sit and have the proper atmosphere to study and finish my labs. I have also have downloaded the app to be able to keep up with my reading on the go. I also am an avid list maker. Making my list for the next day is the very last thing I do before bed. Good luck everybody!

Introduction/ Study plan

Hello, my name is Bianca Rodriguez and I am a 23 y/o. I recently relocated to the area from Dallas. I have a 5 y/o son and am employed with the Klein ISD school district. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my son, binge watching tv shows and going to the gym.
I have taken AP 1 and AP 2 and decided to switch majors to become a Medical sonographer. When I transferred my credits from my previous college did not count from the program here at lone star so I had to repeat this class ):.
Since this class is at your own pace I plan on doing a lot more note card taking to prepare better on the exams. I do well in the lecture and labs but I am a horrible test taker. I do plan on Monday- Wednesday morning taking time to read and watch the videos. Then the remaining half of Wednesday taking a break to spend time with my family. Then pick up with the assignments Thursday-Friday. If needed due to a how busy mommy life can be I would have the extra time on Saturdays and Sundays to catch up or even jump ahead on some of the assignments.

Introduction & study plan

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello everyone! My name is Aryanna Andrade and I am finishing my last semester before getting my Associates degree and after that either hoping to transfer to Sam Houston or attend a police academy, still unsure of which. I'm aiming to get my bachelors in criminal justice and climb my way up to a detective but if anything else happens I'm fine with any job in the criminal justice field since I take a huge interest in it, especially everything related to detectives! I'm hoping to really work on my procrastination with this class (not going well so far seeing how I'm turning this in the day of) but I'll get there and achieve an A in this class.

As for my study plan, I'm hoping to read a chapter one day and do the lessons along with it, if some of it doesn't get done then I'll save it for the end of the week with other ones that I missed and work on it but I'm positive I'll get it done the day of. I work afternoons from 2-7 pm so I'll use the time in the morning from 9-12 pm since I attend the gym from 7-8:30. After finishing work I'll go back to reading whats left of the chapters and the lessons once I'm off work. I don't do much during my day, my only child is my dog so nothing else preoccupies my time except maybe family.

Hello,

My name is Christina, but you can call me Crissy. I am a grandma of 5 beautiful grandchildren. I received my first degree 19 years ago and thought I would give it another go. Things have changed since I went to college back in the day, but I am excited about learning everything I can in this course. Online courses are new to me, and I'm a bit nervous, but I will try my best to keep up.

My study plan is to check in daily and create a schedule to stay ahead of the game by keeping a well-organized planner. I want to be very prepared for exams, so I will take good notes while reading the material, do all the chapter questions, do all the study guides provided by the professor, and use a friend or tutor to help me prepare for the exams. Finally, I will seek clarification from the professor or classmates if I encounter any confusing subject so I can understand the subject more clearly.

Hi: My name is Tanya Unterberger. I am an LVN working as a scrub nurse. I plan to apply to the ADN transitional program. My study strategies will be to study with a higher level of understanding of the material. I will learn the vocabulary associated with this subject, and read the material before it is covered in class. Also, making notes, flashcards, and sketching diagrams of biological processes will be great learning resources to be successful. Best luck to everyone.

Hey! My name is Nouf Mustafa-Osman. I'm 18 years old and this is my second semester in college. I want to become an ultrasound tech for the heart and I want this course to help me understand everything I need to know about the human body and especially the heart. I am a pharmacy technician and I love how I'm learning about different types of medications and their uses. My study plan is to use flashcards and always flip through them to get to know about the human body. Also, my study plan includes watching videos, always asking questions, and give 100% for any assignment.

Hello, My name is Mariana Morales

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

I am finishing up my pre-requisites right now this last semester. I am aiming to achieve an A in this class. I am not the #1 test taker but with my organizational skills, turning in my assignments on time, and good discipline I know I can do this! I will be applying to the sonography program after this. I will be excited to announce soon that I have been accepted into this program. I love spending time with my new beloved partner of mine a year being together now and seeing my family. I love authentic food and going for walks! For my study plan, I will be adding my to-do list on my calendar working every day several hours of class work daily, and studying beforehand for my exams to achieve my A in this class.

Intro and Study Plan!

Hello! My name is Jennifer. I am taking this course to hopefully enroll into the LSC Rad. Tech next enrolling semester. Currently working as a pediatric MA, so patience is something that I think I have some-what mastered. :) My study plan is to do all the extra credit work. Have the videos playing while I'm either doing chores or exercising (along with trying to find some more in depth ones on You Tube). I'll make quick notes on basic vocabs. on a mini chunky notebook that I will study on my down time at work. On my lunch I'll either look at those notes or just listen to some of the videos if work is not too draining. On the more in depth subjects, I'll make some mobile quizlet flashcards, and have a reg. note book with some hand drawn anatomy or simplified printed diagrams. I'll use some of the transparent sticky notes to write on some of the subject diagrams on the textbook, or copy the images into a notebook. I'm going to write down all the due date exams or quizzes on a small planner so I know what's coming ahead of time. I'll try my best to at least have an hour a day to study the textbook after work. And with the study time make a happy drink like a matcha latte or some fresh brew iced tea to temp me, along with providing a cozy study environment. (Having a good lit candle goes a long way!)

Good evening everybody! This is my first time using Padlet. I am not sure if this is how it is supposed to be. But all I can say is that I am trying my best to figure this stuff out. By the way my name is Daisi and I am currently in college doing online classwork while balancing my work lifestyle at the medical field I was close on getting my Associate degree but last minute as we all do is that I ended up changing my career plan because I finally decided since I am in the medical field might as well do something about it and I currently want to reach my goal of becoming a Sonographer. Wish me luck! My study plan is to do my school work during work as I sometime have the time to work on my assignments, I am only afraid of not paying attention during the mandatory online meetings through Webex as I have to deal with patient visitors and because of HIPPA I would have to mute myself because of the patient health confidentiality. Which may be of an issue. If there is an other option please let me know it would be less of a stress for me. Thank you it was nice reading your post!

Hello everyone! My name is Morgan Everitt. I am a registered dental hygienist, and hoping to apply to Montgomery's ADN program this spring. I am 27, married for almost eight years, and have two kids. It has been awhile since I've been in class, and never with two kids, so I am looking forward to learning how to successfully navigate this new journey. I have never taken an online anatomy class, so it is new to me, but I plan to do what has always worked for me. I will make study guides, flashcards, and read the required text. I'm excited to learn with everyone!

sonal_tonger — 2025-07-09 15:03:01 UTC

Hello fellow classmates, my name is Hein. I am originally from South Africa and currently reside in HTX. This is my first time taking classes with Lonestar and I look forward to learning. I am in my 3rd career field now at 32 years of age. I currently work as a nightshift critical care CNA at a Trauma hospital and thus pursuing a career in Nursing with end goals of attending Lonestar's Nursing Program and eventually obtaining my DNP in Trauma.

I have been out of the field of study for some time now, so I am hoping to try find the best learning style for myself - learning how to focus on imperative content vs redundant context, write down study outlines, review work, try stay ahead of my work weeks while attending a fulltime job and using all available extra credit opportunities and resources in order to not only comprehend but retain learnt materials and shoot for an A. I can't wait to start learning with everyone and Goodluck to all and their career fields as they take on this step of the journey ahead.

Hi guys! I am a registered respiratory therapist at TCH main campus and have lived in Houston, TX my whole life. My birthday was about 2wks ago so that makes me 35yrs old. I am also a wife to a wonderful husband and mother to two little girls. My plans for the future following my successful completion of this course is to apply for the nursing program with Lonestar and becoming a L&D nurse here at TCH. After attending RRT school, now working and while also being a wife and mother, I feel I have a good handle on prioritizing and organizing my days so that I will be able to handle this class as easy as possible. My go-to strategies are always using a calendar, keeping dates in order, and most importantly having my household in a routine with planned play time for all of us. It works out perfectly because although I'll be working, I will still have 4 days off every week, so that will be plenty of time to study while the girls are in school! I look forward to refreshing all my knowledge in this class over the next 8wks. Also, this is a cool introductory feature, I've never used before! Lastly! If anyone needs help studying, do not hesitate to reach out! :)

Hello everyone, my name is Kimberly. I am 20 years old. This class is one of the last few classes I need to graduate with my AAS. My goal after taking this class is to get into the radiology technician program. I hope to get good grades in this class as science has always been one of my favorite subjects throughout my entire school career. The study plan that I have set forth for myself, as I do work full time, as well as being a full-time student is to set aside at least 6 to 8 hours a day to be able to complete all of my work in a timely fashion and be able to study enough in order for me to get the good grades that I want.

Hello ! My name is Thuy Tran, and I'm enthusiastic about my academic journey in the MRI major. My study plan is designed for a comprehensive understanding of the subject. I intend to familiarize myself with the associated vocabulary, proactively engage with course materials before class, and employ various study aids such as detailed notes, flashcards, and intricate diagrams illustrating biological processes. These strategies aim to ensure a thorough grasp of the material and contribute to a successful learning experience. Best wishes to all fellow students on their academic endeavors!

Hello everyone, my name is Aldair and I currently work full time as a PCR in a pharmacy. My main goal is to eventually get into a radiology program and become a Rad Tech. I enjoy spending my free time going to the gym, watching soccer, or spending time with family and friends. I know that this class is very challenging and therefore I plan to familiarize myself with the vocabulary, make flashcards, and set aside time throughout the week to complete my assignments and give myself plenty of time to study the material before exams. I know that since I am working full time it won't be easy, but I am eager to learn and will try my best to succeed and I wish all my classmates the best.

Hello! My name is Theresa Herrera, and I am currently a full-time Registered Behavioral therapist working with children diagnosed with ASD. I am working for my associate of arts before transferring to Sam Houston University to enter into their BCBA program. I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, painting, and researching coping mechanisms and replacement behaviors for my kids to implement at work. Due to already taking anatomy and physiology in high school, I understand the overload of information which is why I plan to study using old various notes, when I found it easier to simplify notes, as well as dedicating time to practice flashcards with my significant other. My plan this semester is to implement the study guides provided and use the important information provided to focus on throughout my studies. Having a job that accommodates my time for school also makes it easier to allow time for my courses and eliminate falling behind. I hope for a successful semester, and I wish all my classmates the best of luck! Y'all got this!

Hi! My name is Cheyanne, and I'm 18 years old. This is my second semester at lone star and I plan to apply to the radiography program soon and then become a x-ray tech. My study plan for this semester is to study for this course every other day and take effective notes on the material. I really want to make sure I'm studying the material often so I can retain it. Also since this class is a 8 week course, I will have to be efficient in my studying and keep up with deadlines which can be challenging at times, but I'm learning to work by discipline and not motivation.

Hi, my name is Autumn. I work 12 hour shifts as a surgical tech and currently rotate between my hospital's main OR and their L&D floor. I want to continue trying to be the best version of myself for the safety of my future patients and to challenge myself as a person. I've been studying at night/on weekends to make up for working long shifts, making notecards and taking detailed notes to familiarize/re-familiarize myself with subjects and bringing them to work to study when I have downtime.
