1. CHM 130 Online

   cd1234 replied to miteacher's topic in Arizona

   If you can take it anywhere but RIO, you should. I think that RIO sets up their science classes, especially CHM, BIO 156,201,202 and 205, for people to fail. The midterm and final are brutal. I have taken all these at RIO and had a tough time, but th...

2. The Infamous Wait

   cd1234 replied to koalakoala's topic in Arizona

   Koalakoala... Yes, I am a SHC employee, and that is why my wait was so short. I did not expect to get in for Fall 2010, so I was surprised when I was placed. If I had not been placed I was looking at 2 private BSN programs and the MSC LPN program. I ...

   cd1234 replied to Mama2grlz's topic in Arizona

   Good Luck on your midterm... I am taking my midterm this week for BIO201, I am taking this online as well, along with MAT122, my last 2 pre-reqs. I like the online classes, especially for the non-traditional students. When you have to work and take c...

8. CHM 130 on RIO advice?

   cd1234 replied to Mama2grlz's topic in Arizona

   I have taken CHM130 through Rio, in the 8 week accelerated version. Online is not for everyone, it is tougher than doing the class in person. You have to be disciplined and want it bad enough. Rio does offer tutors, and they are helpful, the instruct...

   The essay's are the worst part of the class, and the midterm and final. I am just thankful, I am done with that class. Good Luck

10. Rio Salado BIO 156 Final Question..

    cd1234 replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona

    The coursework is the same, the midterm and finals are about the same as well. The essay questions will be different on the exams. I suggest you save your coursework, but don't try to use any of the essay's you wrote and turned in previously, they wi...

    cd1234 replied to juliusmyn's topic in Arizona

    I am taking BIO156 right now as well, the 8 week version, and I have a male instructor also. The entire course is essay's, and if you don't write the way they want you too, they won't give you a good grade. Just remember that you must get an avereage...

13. Rio ~ Chem130 & BIO156

    cd1234 replied to jamij's topic in Arizona

    I am in my last week of the 8 week CHM130 class online, I used the online tutors ALOT. There are alot of new concepts to understand in the short amount of time. If you have no CHM background I would suggest the 16 week version or an in-person version...

    cd1234 replied to jamij's topic in Arizona

    I am just finishing BIO156 and CHM130, accelerated online at Rio. There is a lot of work to do in each class and requires a lot of reading and writing. These were both 8 week classes, so at least 2 assignments for each class a week, and the labs. Goo...
