Never had problems with that rule. . . Never remember hearing it. My teachers encouraged it. Always find out WHO writes what tests. Watts does the Concepts so we usually had extra people in our concepts class. Burns wrote pharm so we had extra in our pharm. No big deal to the teachers. Before finals the Pharm class was PACKED.

wow than it must be okay, perhaps i misunderstood something. Now do most people usually attend both their normal lecture time and also the test writers? also i realize it might change from one semester to the next but do you know who creates the other tests? and also do the teachers actually announce themselves "by the way i make the tests" or is it just something you figure out, just curious. thanks for the heads up though

Has anyone actually found a benefit to attending lectures by the teacher that writes the test? Since everyone is supposed to teach the same topic the test content should be covered regardless of which instructor is lecturing. I say this because the same theory was always talked about when I did both my under grad and graduate degrees and I (along with other students) never found that practice to be of any benefit. If you study the material, take notes, pay attention and ask questions for clarification in your class, attending another lectures was not necessary.

hey i dont even see burns as one of the listed teachers for pharmacology this semester...are you sure he's teaching this semester?

[autopsy]

Burns is not teaching this semester, a shame too because she was teaching this fall semester, and one of my friends highly recommended her, but unfortunately she wasnt a choice.

that sux... so i wonder who is making the tests now

ok so i just received a letter from fccj that states that the nights and weekends wont be able to start the rn prgram until February 12! And that is pending the Board of Nursing's approval! Does anybody know what happened? I was suppose to be a day student bt i switched, and now (just my luck) they're saying this program may not be approved.

[autopsy]

I dont know it wouldnt be approved. It is the same program as a day with the same accredidation, facilities, and some of the same teachers. It probably has more to do with available teachers or staff or something, hopefully it will all work out for you.

[RJDJ14]

Just recieved the same letter. I have already spent over a twelve hundred dollars getting ready for class. I'm calling tomorrow to see what's going on. I might even ask about the day class. I'll let you know what I find out.
