Does Phoenix college offer BIO 201 online as well ? Would you have to go on to the campus to take any exams ? I live out of state and i am trying to take BIO 201 and 202 ONLINE.

I know! So random! I was lucky I was getting an A in the class prior to the final. It was the final that killed me. I REALLY wanted an A in that class, as anatomy is my absolute fave subject and I was so excited to take the course. So, now I live with the B. There is just something wrong when the instructor tells you that nothing from the labs, quizzes, essays is going to be on the final so go back and re-read ALL of the chapters as the final will be taking random things from the text. The whole thing was just crazy. They don't even give you any focus points or anything to even give you an idea of what to study. It was really ridiculous. Like I said above, I loved my instructor, but the structure of the class was horrible. I am glad to see I am not the only one who had issues with it.

Yes, Phoenix does offer both courses online. I have heard really good things about their online anatomy courses, so if I go the online route for 202, I will definately take it there. I am not sure how they handle the exams. Also, not sure how they handle out of state students. You can contact the college directly to find out. Good luck.

for the ones that took the bio at RIO did you have to go to a lab or in the classroom for exams or was everything over the internet? again this is coming from an out of state student.

how much is tuition in AZ for a community college? here in CA is $20/unit

I just called the school to get more information on the online BIO 201 class. Out of state students would not need to come in to take exams. However, exams may be proctored so arrangements must be made with the instructor to complete those exams at a college or library where you live. Many students from across the globe take this particular class and classes fill up rather quickly. All summer sessions are full since classes have already begun and instructors do not accept overrides. Fall schedule is already available and we (out of state students) must pay the out of state fee. Also, this class is transferable to any other AZ colleges (I didn't ask about it transfering to other schools). Good luck, i may sign up to take the one offered in Fall.

Testing has been covered; but, basically you setup a place to take the exam with a proctor (a local school/teacher/officer (if in the Military) might agree to sit with you).
Labs are done at home and results are submitted online.
CA prices are much, *much* lower per unit.

Rio in state was $65 a unit (credit) out of state is much higher. I'd stick with CA if I were you.

I took Bio 202 through CAC and loved it. It was straight forward and required a moderate amount of work. The instructor was good/fair.
