Abstract	Educators have been grappling with the problem of students retaining and applying in later years information learned in prerequisite courses. One general faculty complaint is that students appear to retain very little from their prerequisite courses, even if they completed the course in the semester immediately before. In order to determine if students share this point of view, the author conducted an informal survey and student self-assessment to a total of 119 students enrolled in either the first or second semester of a two-semester human anatomy and physiology course sequence. Results show that majority of the students, 57% (33% agreed and 24% agreed strongly), felt well prepared for subsequent course work. (Contains 1 figure.) (ERIC).
