I'm a NERD!! That sounds great!! What school's podcast are you listening too & how can I access them? Very interested...I'm starting A&P 1 & Chem SP08 @ QC in Boston

I'm already in A&PI (online) but I started late in October, so the class will continue until early February for me. I though I might as well follow up with this thread as well!

Good luck to you all!

How is it going online with A&P? I am curious about the labs, how is that working

I just finished taking Life Span online! I know every teacher is different but my class was not too bad. If I can help you out with anything at all let me know!!

So far it's going great. It's a LOT of work. Since there is no real lecture time, there is no instructor to put emphasis on anything. So basically we need to know everything the handbook and lab manual (Human Anatomy and Physiology by Marieb). The labs are from the standard lab manual. We have a set of DVD's called Human Anatomy and Physiology Revealed from a university in Ohio. These DVD's have awesome step by step dissection of a human cadaver. It's really very detailed and realistic. We don't really DO labs, we read about them and use the DVD. Then we just turn in the set of questions at the end of the lab.

All things considered, I really enjoy studying on my own. I feel like I learn a lot more this way. I also enjoy not having to drive to class or having a noisy neighbor. I do spend a lot of time on this class, really about 16-20hrs/week. I also combine it with ENG101 and CHM130, also online.

Good luck everyone!

So this is kind of random but what do you guys think about combining A&P and Chem classes together in the same semester? I'm considering it, but it scares me to death. I tried to do this exact same thing a few years back but I freaked out and withdrew from everything. Now I'm older and better able to handle the stress and the work...but I don't want to screw myself over again. I have a lot of respect and admiration for everyone on here who works so hard, so what do y'all think? Should I go for it or break it up and do one science at a time? I'm sticking with A&P I this spring no matter what, by the way .

Hey guys,
I am also taking Anatomy and physiology I in this spring. Can you guide me which books or study material is commonly used for this class?
Thanks!

Katie,
I'm combining A&PI, Chemistry, and English. I also work part-time. So far, I have A's in everything. It's all about planning and time management. I'm sure that if you put your mind to it, that you can do it! Good luck!

I took Fundamentals of Chemistry and A&P I this semester, and I have As in both of them, going into the finals today. And next semester, I'm doing Chem I and A&P II. It's very doable, but I put many, many, MANY hours of studying in. In Chem, you need to do all the assigned problems. In A&P, you need to spend a lot of time memorizing. If you work and/or have young children, you *might* begin to feel very stressed around mid-term time!

Ok, I think I'm going to try it. Depends on if I can register for the class during late registration. Thanks ya'll!
