Seriously, I always struggled in classes that required significant amounts of memorization (A&P and Neuroanatomy were the two big ones) but

This probably had to be taught with memorization. If anyone else is reading. USE PAPER: cut 3x5 cards into a 1.5x2.5 cards. Use those as flash cards and carry them everywhere. If you have more than 3 seconds to spare you can do a few cards.

Why paper and not your phone?? Because you can't unlock your phone pull up your flash card app and review 2 cards in 3 seconds of spare time.

I think the worst culprit in my entire education was taking calc 2

I fucking hate this, math should be about understanding, not remembering.
