Yes, it can be done! I took A&P II and Microbiology, both their labs, and two other classes this past Spring semester. I got As in all my classes, and because I didn't spread them out, was able to apply to my program (and get accepted!) without d...

This semester I had to take 14 credit hours in order to qualify for my financial aid (12 is full time). A&P I was three of those hours and A&P I Lab was one of those hours. I have a 97 in my lecture and 94 in my lab. I am also taking Human De...

This past semester (fall 2012) I took both A&P I and Human Development and have an A in both. I would suggest reading the material before hand, or at least skimming it. Then take notes, lots and lots of notes! After class, re-read the notes out l...
