Welcome Nasiri's Fall 2019 students.  My name is Eric Do and I'll be your peer tutor this quarter alongside Jonathan Do. I hope this website will be a great resource to guide your studies. For each week's concepts, I have taken the time to watch all or most of the relevant videos and selected the highest quality video that I believe best matches what we learn at UC Davis. Additionally, I have written test-relevant practice questions for each week's concepts that include most of the scenarios and types of problems that have showed up on UC Davis exams within the last two decades. My suggestion is to first obtain a baseline level of understanding of conceptual information via attached videos or through lecture notes and then do as much practice as possible. Practice questions can be found in each week's post along with a plethora of resources within the "useful resources" tab.

    • The class moves quickly so stay on top of your material. 
    • The best way to do this is to review lecture material both before and after lectures and also do a TON of practice problems. I will write and post practice problems on this website.
  • Do TONS of practice problems
  • Use spaced repetition to enhance memorization/ retention of concept knowledge
    • Spaced repetition is one of the most popular study techniques for medical students for a reason. Try using apps like Anki or simply continue to review your notes and test yourself often. Based off of research, the best time to review material is just as you are beginning to forget it.​
