I tagged this on the end of an old post but thought it might be better to start a thread. I am finishing up my Bio 150 and am doing well, I have an A so far (fingers crossed). Next step is Bio 141-142 and Chem 101 or 121 (pre-req) for Microbiology. The first thing is that these are 6 week classes and I am already apprehensive about that as they are tough courses even for a regular semester time frame. Any experience or thoughts are welcome. Since I will be going into an accerlated BSN I will have to be able to handle similar situtations then but I would like to make it into the program first :D

I am going over the different shedules, there are alot of varibles to consider,here are a couple::banghead:

How doable are the 6 week classes ? If I do 2 6s over summer and normal in Fall,which class should that be? How wise is it to double up,full semester,142 and Chem ?

Any instructor thumbs up or down for any of these ? PM is fine but I cant reply yet..:cry:

Any thoughts of which class if needed is best to take with a prof with less than stellar comments ? Clear test etc expectations are paramount for me.

An "inside source" says ******** ***** is getting good feedback,not on rate my professor,anybody take him ? There is another solid option 141 but it is 8-12,not my highest functioning timeframe..Hate to gamble tho. If I get a chance I will see if I can list names. Many of them are TBA,so who knows who you get...If you have taken a flyer,tell your story good or bad.

I was debating taking Bio or Nas series but my desicion might have been made for me as I was told VCU isnt going to be taking NAS anymore. I have yet to verify this.

Now that my eyes are uncrossed I had best get back to vectoring my matrices for the best shedule....
