Ohio RN to BSN - Electives

Hi all - thought it was time to start a new thread that dealt with electives. I'll start!! Business Comm - has anyone in Prof F's class gotten their book review completed? I am up to word 1150 or so ... and still have my evaluation and conclusion to add. Not sure what he is looking for - the last "book report/review" I did was 40 years ago! I don't think he minds .. verbose! I got an "excellent" on everything I have submitted so far that has gone over the required ...

I'd take stats at the easiest place!

That's exactly how I feel!!!!! But cannot is Rio requires a prereq. I need to take stats by the end of the year.

Hmmm. I know when I did my Associates, I had to do 2 prep math classes to get to college level. So I wonder if I would not even need an extra math class to take stats then. I will have to check into it. Maybe I should just suck it up and do it through OU. Atleast then my financial aid will pay for it. If I have to do it through Rio Salado then I have to pay out of pocket.

I think stats is going to suck no matter what. I figure I'll end up paying for a tutor, lol

Thats great you are getting down there. Are you doubling up at all?

No plans to double up yet. I will for the music class since it is and easier one!! My advisor is hopeful I will only need the 18 because of the switch to semesters and the change in credits to 120 from 192. We shall see!

thanks for the tips! I know the stats is an 8 week class too. Had it all planned out until the algebra thing......none in college.. Oh well, I just may end up taking it here.

I just finished it at OU. The first 3 assignments were hard, after that, it got much better. I did not realize the course was open a few days early, so I did not get to take advantage and get a head start like many others did. It would have made a big difference for me.

Boy…When I took it my professor sent and email stating that student were STRONGLY advised to start looking over the course work and starting on assignments prior to the class starting. Stated that the teacher/TA couldn't answer questions until the OFFICIAL start of class, but student could still do the assignments. I have like 4 assignments done by the time class started, so I always felt a bit ahead. Talk about a HUGE RELIEF...

Did you guys have to have College Algebra then at all? I don't know which place would be "easier" But I know Rio Salado is a bit longer of a class I think, you can just work ahead. A 5 week class does sound better, especially if you get to start early.

I guess my associate degree program in the late 80's was not so extensive. I only transferred 93 credits so needed 99 according to the current program. Micro is a repeat because I got a D in the class and I never had chemistry in college. Sooooo, I need all nursing plus stats, junior comp,nutrition, micro, chemistry, cross cultural, and music (for the new "semesters" plan. Keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way!!! :icon_roll

Good luck, sounds like you are getting there! Have you thought about doing any of the 10 day intercession courses? I know there is one in May for intro to anthropology. It gives the full 3 credits, and is done in literally 10 days. That meets the Cross Cultural course. I plan on doing that one hopefully. If not in May then a later time.
