A&P and Chemistry online - Ivy Tech

U.S.A. Indiana

I am retaking both A&P 1 & 2 to raise my points for the LPN to RN transition program since I didn't get in for this summer. I figured since I already took them as well as went through all the LPN courses (old curriculum) at Ivy Tech and passed boards it shouldn't be too bad for me and might just be review. I am registered for A&P 101 face to face this summer but am considering switching to on-line. I wondered how they did the lab portion though. The section I am looking at is not a hybrid class. I have taken other on-line courses (Eng, Psych, Comm-got As) and enjoyed them so it wouldn't be new to me. I understand what it entails.

I would appreciate any input. Is one class easier on-line than the other? I thought A&P102 was much easier than 101 face to face but then 101 was one of the first classes I took when going back to school 4 years ago & took it in the Summer as well - I am a lot different student now. By the way, I took those classes before I was certain I would continue to get my RN so the grades weren't that important at the time (I got Bs). I plan to take A&P 102 and Chem 101 Fall 09 and am considering online then too.

Any details & input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey jen do you know if your teacher requires you to take a comp. Final and you must get a 65% on the final or you faail the whole. If not I am going to change classes.

Nikki, yes that is a requirement of all online A&P classes, both 101 and 102.

Your teacher will have to send you the course code so you can get access. I'm not sure what the media card is, but the lab kit contains stuff to do dissections. Have you bought your book already? I got mine at half.com for 25 bucks with shipping. It's the seventh edition and I asked my teacher if it was okay to use and she said, sure. ;-)

Good luck.

Woah, I was really slow. LOL.

hey, do any of you use pronto with your online classes?

I have seen it on Blackboard, but never used it. What is it for?

It's an instant messaging system. It adds the people in your online classes that also use pronto and you can chat with them. It's fun.
