1. Anyone taken CHM130 at Rio Salado?

   mytwocents replied to blondielocks's topic in Arizona

   Google every quiz question and every essay question on your own to help study. Then make your own study guide (and study it hard). I also assumed I was screwed. But I stuck to my strategy and it saved me (barely). There is no reason why a resourc...

2. Anyone taken CHM130 at Rio Salado?

   mytwocents replied to blondielocks's topic in Arizona

   That final was very difficult. The questions were stacked up with material from the final chapters. Almost as if were were a class filled with pre-chemical engineering students. The route to a superior academic reputation is not by flunking people...

   mytwocents replied to blondielocks's topic in Arizona

   BTW, most all of the answers to the essay and quiz questions can be found online simply by typing the questions (verbatim) into google. Most are found on Wiki answers or Yahoo answers. If you click around in the gradebook after you take each quiz, ...

4. Got a C in Chm130... should i retake it?

   mytwocents replied to NUR151's topic in Arizona

   Worth pointing out that if you do end up seeking higher education than nursing school (for example, PA school at AT Still or Midwestern), they do not consider online courses to be valid for sciences such as CHM. Best to take them in-person and to do...

5. Got a C in Chm130... should i retake it?

   mytwocents replied to NUR151's topic in Arizona

   I took Chm130 at Rio Salado and got a "C" as well. And my current "usual" in school is getting A's. I'm not re-taking it, as the MCCD admissions process is more like a checklist as opposed to competitive. If you beat yourself up to have all A's, y...

6. CHM 130 on RIO advice?

   mytwocents replied to Mama2grlz's topic in Arizona

   by now, you should be realizing how difficult it is to take the accelerated version. if you have the ability to master this material at this pace, i wonder why your goal is nursing school. you should just aim for med school.

7. CHM 130 on RIO advice?

   mytwocents replied to Mama2grlz's topic in Arizona

   The science courses at rio were designed to help push mass quantities of bodies through the system as quickly as possible for cheap (for them, not for you). Be forewarned, if you have never taken chemistry before (or did not do well in it when you d...

8. Anyone taken CHM130 at Rio Salado?

   mytwocents replied to blondielocks's topic in Arizona

   I was in the same section of this same class at Rio (at the same time). Too bad I'm too new to PM anyone. I had a lot to say about this class on another post related to this one (I suggested that people not do it). My experience was bad.

9. CHM 130 online at Rio Salado

   mytwocents replied to miteacher's topic in Arizona

   DON'T DO IT. I took both CHM130 (chem) and PHY101 (physics) at Rio Salado (online). Both at the same time, actually. In my personal experience, I think it was a huge mistake. Math does not come naturally for me. In fact, I have to work quite hard...
