A & P II or Microbiology this summer??

[kammel]

Hello everyone,

I need to take A & P 2 OR Microbiology this summer, and I am currently taking A & P I (I am getting a pre-requisite waiver for A&P2 or Micro). My question is, If you had to take A&P I while taking EITHER A&P II or Microbiology in the summer, which would you do? that is, I want to take the one that would be more "manageable," while taking A&P I, so I can hope for the best grade and learn the most when I am finished without melting my brain completely.

I was thinking A&P II wold make a little more sense, since it would be a continuation of what I am already taking, but then again, I don't actually know.

I need to figure it out by July 5th, thanks for all of your help!

I'm going to say take Micro. You could possibly do fine either way, but micro is the safer bet. A&P is a lot of straight memorization, and that would be really overwhelming if you were taking both at the same time. Especially since summer classes are condensed as it is. I also remember my A&P 1 professor stressing that if you don't learn Autonomics you will have serious problems in A&P 2. Autonomics was the last thing we learned in A&P 1.

I'm taking micro right now and I know a lot of people complain about it but it's really opening my eyes to these "creatures" that we share this earth with. It's kinda cool! However...A&P 2 is a continuation, so I would probably go with that. How are you getting a waiver?

I think A&P 1 and 2 are both important and I'd want both under my belt. I don't think taking them together would have worked for me though. A&P 2 was just a continuation of 1--it finished up all of the body systems.

I loved Microbiology though. It was really interesting. I took it with A&P 1 and it worked out.

I'm leaning toward Microbiology at this point, I've contacted the department chair, and have good standing. They said get to give them the course number and she'd give me a waiver.
