BIO 202 at RIO (online)?

I am taking 201 right now and it is really tough. I took 156 online trough Rio, and 201 has been much much more difficult. Most of the quizes are timed, so you might get 25 minutes to answer 50 quesitons - totally stressful. I think some of the essay grading depends on your instructor. Overall it is convenient, but from what my friends have told me about an in person class, it is also way more work online. But if you have a lot of time and are self-motivated, then you might be ok. I work more than full time, so this is really the only option for me. I will be starting 202 next month (hopefully if I can do ok on my final). I was considering taking the 8 week, but after what I have on some of the replies in your post, I think I will take the regular 16 week.

Update: Just wanted to say that I am four assignments in now and 1.) The professor makes all the difference. ( Loved my essays) &

2.) I am getting a high B and am really having a much better time than with Bio 201. Maybe its what we are studying that really makes the difference but not having to play catch up cuz of poor essays really helps too.

The second time around with a different teacher, I submitted the exact same essays and got much better grades. Again, I don't recommend this class, as I even wrote the college stating it shouldn't be offered in an 8 week format. If you do attempt is, take no other classes and be prepared to spend 20+ hours a week on this class. Sorry!
