Long time looker, first time poster. Just had a question for you guys seeing as how all the previous topics regarding this question was years old.
I plan on finishing my pre-req classes to apply into the BSN nursing program at Grand Canyon University here in Phoenix, Arizona. My only remaining pre-reqs are Microbiology, A&P2, and Pathophysiology. This current semester, I am doing A&P1, Statistics and only have just over a month left. Crusing along fine during this semester with good grades and terrific study habits, just nervous for the microbiology class I signed up for in the summer.
For our micro class, it is about 8 weeks long. Lecture from 1:30-4:20pm, then lab 4:30p-7:20pm. It is a two-day-a-week class, Mon and Wed with a lot of previous students who had this professor saying lab always got out atleast an hour, if not more early.
So just a couple of questions, what am I looking at moving forward towards this class? How does it compare to A&P? Any tips, or study habits you all recommend? Knowing this class being shrunk down from a full semester to 8 weeks, I'm sure there will be a lot of info taught which will require a lot of time to study and grasp the material. I do work at a hospital, and will be working pool (basically another way of saying part time so I can def work my schedule around school and try to fit work in when I can).
I also looked into taking A&P2 in summer, but that was Mon-Thurs everyday, and definitely did not want to have all that on my plate for such a shortened semeter and the teacher who teaches it has a reputation of a rough teaching style. So plan is, finish this current semester (spring), take Micro only in summer, then finish up in fall with A&P2 + Patho (online).
Any tips or information will be great! As stated, just two days a week, teacher is real cool, but never taken a science class in the summer; trying to get prepared. Thank you all, look forward to continue posting and interacting with everyone.
