Accelerated A/P class at PCC???

PCC used to offer an intensive A & P series over the summer that covered all three courses: Human Anatomy & Physiology I, II, and III, BI231, 232, 233. It was brutal. Five days a week, a "final" or "midterm" every Friday. It was impossible to actually learn the material unless you had a photographic memory. I had a friend who took one of the series and then decided it was too much stress. I looked at the summer schedule and didn't see anything like that, but if you want to be sure, I'd call the registrars office and ask.

Thanks for the info... yeah, I didn't see it listed, either. You're absolutely right, though...that sounds totally brutal.

Clackamas Community College also offers an accelerated A&P, usually taught by Dr. Kop. Similar schedule, but you are done in a summer. The people I ran into that took it were pretty bright.

Ah... thank you. I had checked their course offerings, but it's not listed and they don't have their summer catalog available, yet.

Look for Professor Kop in the faculty section. Email/call and see if he will be teaching it this summer.

Thank you! I contacted him and he is not teaching it this summer, but perhaps someone else will.

Anyway, based on the info. I've received about it, I've decided not to pursue it. I have four children and they will be out of school during the summer and I've decided that I'm not willing to live, eat, & breath A/P and ignore my kids. I'm going to try to take A/P I, Microbiology, and Nutrition. That'll keep me plenty busy.

Which campus are you going to? If it is PCC Take it with Mirkes. She is he best teacher I have ever had. Her students loved her so much they got together and bought her a nintendo wii and a wii fit as a gift. She has outlines made up that you fill out during lecture and she tests directly off those.

Wow! That is great to know and VERY tempting. I live right by PCC Rock Creek... Mirkes teaches at the Cascade campus, but that's a pretty great recommendation and I may just be willing to make the drive if I don't hear any great reviews about the RC instructors!

I would reccomend her. I know that she comes from out that way too. Maybe she can tell you a short cut. When I took her class I had already taken it and not done well. I had started to get discouraged but she helped me find the best way to study for these types of classes.

LOL... which is _______????? Please, feel free to help/enlighten the rest of us that are getting ready to take the series!!!
