Central Piedmont CPCC A&P online classes

Hello everyone! Has anyone taken A&P totally online at CPCC? Here's my situation. My hubby is not supportive of me pursuing nursing school, but I NEED to continue. I am just starting the process and I am hoping that after a year or so of pre-reqs, he'll come around. Anywho.... we have a two YO son and I work FT. CPCC offers A&P as an online class and if I sign up for that one, then hubby can't really complain (it won't "inconvenience" him in any way) or sabotage me by not coming home to take care of son so I have to miss class. Without putting too much personal stuff out there (although some might say I already have LOL), I don't have any family nearby that I could drop him off with last minute. However, during my last college courses Moses was my classmate, so I think that getting back into the physical classroom, listening to lectures and having that dedicated time would really benefit me. I've read complaints on the Pre-nursing forum that online classes you are basically teaching yourself. Can anyone tell me if that's the case at CPCC? How does it even work? I've taken one online class. It was a computer networking class. I did well, but it wasn't difficult material. I didn't learn anything, but I also didn't really care about the material. I don't know that I can use that as a good indicator. But I only have one shot with A&P and my entire future is riding on it. Can anyone tell me how the online science classes are at CPCC? Things got ugly, scary ugly, when I took my NA class. If the online classes aren't that bad, it might not be worth the extra stress on myself, marriage and family. Thanks!

I took all my pre-reqs at CPCC. Including A&P I and II. Let me suggest that you do not take A&P online like I did. The professor was horrible and the tests were not even from the textbook, but from another totally different one which I thankfully finally figured out. You can never count on online teachers to help answer questions, respond to emails, and correct grading mistakes. I made a C in both I and II, which is really low for me. It was just plain hard and the teacher was no help at all. Obviously, I can't tell you who the professor was, but just take my advice and don't take any online A&P classes at CPCC.

To fully learn A&P, you need to be in a lab with other students and a teacher right there in front of you. If I had the time I would retake both I and II on campus.

Thanks everyone. Long story short, things have changed in my workplace and I am able to take day classes so I have decided to pursue Carolinas College's guaranteed admission program and I am taking my classes (in person) there. I am still pretty nervous about A&P, but I have my text book and I've been reading it. Seeing the text makes it seem a little less impossible. I just have to keep telling myself, it's just science, you've taken many science classes, you can do this! Yes, I am paying way more. Yes, it's less convenient, but I think it will be worth it to "be known" there when I submit my application for the nursing program. At least that's what I am telling myself :).
