I did! It was an accelerated version and pretty straight forward. I found using excel to make a spreadsheet with all topics, vocab, names, etc with page numbers helped tremendously for tests! We had one big final paper that was time consuming but very manageable. I walked away with an A and a lot of useful information!!

I took it at Anne Arundel Community College (Maryland). I took it for 14 weeks (16 weeks & 8 weeks are also options). I took it under a professor who is a practicing psychologist. There was no busy work & although there was due dates, you could turn everything in early if you completed it. If I recall, there was 1 quiz every 4 chapters (open book), 1 midterm, 1 final & 2 easy papers. I definitely recommend taking it online.

I have always taken all of my Psych classes online. Super easy IMO. I took mine at Georgia Perimeter College in Atlanta. My professor had a PhD and was extremely knowledgable. He even recorded his own lectures over power points and posted them for us. We had weekly discussion board assignments, a few tests, and 1 research paper. Easy A, I definitely recommend taking it online.

Specializes in Pediatrics, ICU.

I took mine online at trident technical college in charleston,sc. It was a pretty easy A. We had weekly discussion boards, 4 test, 1 short research paper, and a final. He did make us take our final on campus but everything else was online it was great.

I am in the last week of this class at Georgia Perimeter and the teacher is awesome. I wouldn't have it any other way and prefer to take courses like such online.

Oops,I forgot to put the workload. My professor has us participate in weekly discussions, 3 exams 1 research paper and a final.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!! I am looking forward to this class. Starting an accelerated BSN Program this August and have just abnormal Psych and Religion as prereqs. To finish this summer. I went to register yesterday and discovered the community college I have taken all my prereqs. at does not offer Abnormal Psych. So I am frantically searching for another (affordable) option. Appreciate all of your input.

combsj25,

I am taking Abnormal Psych online thru Nashville State, Spring 2014. Is that the course you took? How was the work load?

Thank you!

Hey Margotrita! Yes this is what I ended up taking I found the class both interesting and quite easy! Don't spend much on a book, get an old edition if you can. I didn't touch the book once. Everything you need for the quizzes is on the power points. I took it over the summer so it was shorter and crammed in a bit more than spring semester, and still never found it too time consuming at all. Basically you will have a weekly discussion posting, a quiz every other week and I think just one paper. Paper is actually a quite fun and easy paper. Good luck - I think you will find it doesn't take more than a couple hours a week (& a bit lore for the paper).
