Ok, so I have gone off the deep end!:rolleyes: lol! I am taking A&p I, Micro lecture and lab, and Nutrition ALL ONLINE this summer! Have I completely lost my mind!? Can anyone give me any tips that would help study and/or make these courses (especially micro) make a little more sense? I am getting the AP b/c i have taken it before,(at my school if it is older that 5 years it must be retaken) but the Micro is all greek to me!!! HELP!!! :eek:

I took A&P and Micro together this semester and it actually wasn't as bad as what I had heard from other people. Luckily the books the instructors used and their course outlines pretty much lined up with each other. I also read the micro material/chapter(s) before attending lecture and that helped tremendously! Good luck!

Micro lab is pretty easy and I found lecture impossible. Still don't know how I passed that class.

I took Nutrition online and found it fairly easy and I think I had A- or A.

In my experience the online courses are generally easier than their in class counterparts. I think the best way to take the exams is to read, or at least skim, the book and lectures before hand. Then when you take the exam make sure you are good at using the Index and looking up answers quick.

I found the best thing to do was take the exams in groups so maybe someone recalled the answer you won't have to waste time looking it up and also you can have one person on Google and another using the book.

Good luck to you.

I took AP2 (w/lab), Micro (w/lab) and General Psych, all online last summer. AP2 took the most time, with a huge amount of time devoted to lab write-ups. Micro is still my favorite class and it was great online. I barely remember anything about the psych class though. I took Nutrition online during another semester and it was the easiest class *ever*. It is a great choice with the other two.

Don't be worried about the classes, as long as you are organized and don't fall behind you should do great. My hubby had medical problems last summer that had us up to the hospital for tests on a daily basis and I still got A's in each class. You can do it too - good luck!
