Maricopa CC students, did you take CHM 130 with CHM 130ll at the same time or no?

Good afternoon everyone,

I have to take CHM 130 (lecture) and CHM 130LL (lab,) in order to get into the concurrent program I want. I know this sounds incredibly stupid, but can I take both the lab and lecture in the same semester?

The reason why I'm confused is because, well, my other courses had their labs directly attached to them. I'm a freshman and just finished my first semester, and when I signed up for my A&P lecture in August, I immediately had to sign up for the lab too. Same story for my microbiology class.

However, it doesn't seem to be that way for CHM 130.

I'm looking at CHM 130LL since I have to take it sometime in the future and it says, "Prerequisites or Corequisites: A grade of "C" or better in CHM130." So do I have to take CHM 130 first, and then CHM 130LL the next semester? I'm so confused.

But it also says, "Laboratory experience in support of CHM130." Which sounds like I need to take it at the same time as the lecture. If you guys have any info on this, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.

Yes, take them both at the same time.

I took mine over Summer and I had some students who already took Lecture and failed lab or vice versa and so they were only in one of the classes - but yeah, do them both.

Take them together. I highly recommend taking it with -------------------------. He tells great stories through out the semester to keep things interesting. Some students think he talks about himself way too much but I feel he really like to interact with his students. This process allowed him to seem "more human" than other professors and made him very approachable. He holds his student accountable, he makes you want to work hard. This was my first Chem. experience, I am a non-trad, and it was wonderful.

You have to take both to get full credit for the class.

The labs correlate directly with the lecture study and they benefit one another.
