Have you taken online A/P at NVCC in Virginia?


Just curious if anyone has successfully completed BIO 141 or 142 ONLINE at NVCC (Northern VA Community College).

I live in Charlottesville, VA and our local community college (PVCC) is only offering one section of Bio 141 (A/P I) this summer and it was full before I was even eligible for registering.

I'd love to know how NVCC's online Bio 141/AP course works. Is there any need to travel to NoVA to take tests? How do they administer tests?

How did you do in the class--do you feel you learned the material well enough taking it online rather than in a classroom setting?

Thanks!

Are you going to be coming up here for the summer or were you hoping to take the entire thing online? I know our school requires that you come to the campus for lab assignments, for classes that have a lab portion. You would most likely have to come to the school for the tests as well. I am pretty sure there are people in the Virginia Forum who have taken one of the classes you mentioned online...

What I would recommend is emailing one of the instructors. They might be willing to work with you if you plan to stay down there over the summer.

Good luck!

Yep, I work and was planning to stay in C'ville. Thankfully i have a sister up there in Ashburn, should I need to go up and take tests. In the course description there was nothing about having to travel....and I'd been told that NoVA had online A/P courses and no one has mentioned having to travel, but wanted to be proactive and not surprised later. contacting professors is a good idea...wondering if I can find those email addresses online via their site.

Thanks for the thoughts.

The instructors emails are first letter of first name+last name@nvcc.edu Just find a teacher with an open section and shoot them an email.

I am in Bio 141 and about to take my last exam! You can take Bio 141 all onilne except you must take the exams at a campus. I think that if you are out of the area you may take the exam at a campus near you. As long as you contact the school and let them know. Also I feel that I learned what I needed to taking the class online. They have a study guide that helps prepare for the exams.

Hi there!

I took A& P at NVCC via distance learning. Its structured so that you can complete all of the quizzes online at your own leasure and all of the assignments are the same way. However, the exams (there are a few) must be proctored. So you can certainly take it from a different state and you dont have to go into the NVCC campus as someone else mentioned. However, in order to do this you must fill out a form, find someone willing to proctor the exam for you (must be a professor at a nearby college, librarian etc) and then you're set. I had to do this because I took it during the summer from NJ. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

I am currently in the process of taking A & P I at NVCC and so far I love it. It has virtual cadaver dissection that you do via software. To me, this makes more sense than dissecting cats. I mean, how many cats have you seen come into the ER recently? I made an A on my first test. If you truly put the time into studying you should do well with this course. There are many open slots so I'm not worried about being able to get into A & P II when I'm ready. I am out of state and had to find a proctor. This was not really a big deal at all and the approval of my proctor only took a day. I'm really glad I chose to take this course at NVCC. If you're disciplined & focused you can do it!!!
