I'm taking BIO201 online from Rio Salado starting on Oct. 27th. When and where are you taking your class?

I'm taking it on Saturdays at Gateway this Spring.

Looks like Davi and I are in the same Bio class... I'm just hoping that this class is nowhere NEAR as crazy as the accelerated BIO 156 I'm in now!

Well this is my 1st class I'm taking after graduating with my BS 8 years ago, so hopefully it won't be a shock to me :imbar

I don't believe this is an accelerated class - it runs till V-day next year.

Just curious, but are any of you working full time while taking these classes? I was taking both and working full time and I just had to drop Chem 130. It was too hard for me to deal with life and this much class load. Good luck to you all either way!

I'm not working. I've been at home with my son (now 18 months) since he was born so I've decided that this would be a great time for me to go back to school. I heard it's difficult to juggle both work and the Nursing program but it can be done. Personally I don't think I could do it all - work, school and then taking care of my son and the home.

I've been reading that these classes aren't easy so it might be a good idea to take smaller loads each semester if you're working. Good luck to you too!

No, this is a regular 16 week class. The Bio 156 class I'm taking is a 16 week course compressed into 8 weeks. It's been COMPLETELY crazy and I really feel like I'm not learning to see the forest through the trees!

As I have said, I'm Taking an accelerated Bio 156, and I also am in MAT 092, both through Rio. I also work full-time. Thankfully, I work security, so depending on how busy things are, I can spend between 3 - 6 hours studying.
