A&P 1 & 2 during the summer, good or bad idea?

[jaysma]

Our summer schedule just came out and they offer A&P 1 M-Th from 1-5pm during the A session (6/1-6/28) and A&P 2 (same hours) in the B session (6/29-7/31). Has anyone taken both A&P's during the summer?

I could also take my Micro during the B session (9-12:30), but I think that would be pushing it! :chuckle It's tempting though since it's all I have left to take.

I'd recommend summer anatomies! You won't be able to forget the material. Because your mind is still processing the information that you were lectured on. You'll take a test and think to yourself (I know this! Didn't we just cover this yesterday...or was that today?)

Nope, I wouldnt do it...esp. if you want to retain anything and maintain your sanity. Why is everyone trying to cram two HUGE science classes into this summer??? Trust me, taking one will require all your time (that is unless you are just brilliant).

GL!

Thanks for the responses :) I'm still debating it. I wouldn't be taking them together (impossible to do anyway). I would only have one class at a time to focus on and I don't work outside the home (I'm a SAHM of a 4 yr old). I take my NLN test in July and thought that knowing some A&P would be to my advantage before testing.

On the other hand, if I take the summer off I could study more for the NLN test. Registration is a month away, so I'll ponder it some more. Thanks!

I personally wouldn't do it, but if you think it's right for you, go for it.

What I really like about summer classes is everything is so crammed together you don't have time to forget the material before the next class.

I did my general bio in a summer course and I find that I still remember most of it. It really depends on the teacher you have. If A&P 1 doesn't work out you can always withdraw from A&P 2.
