Sorry Carlos, I personally don't have any opinion as I haven't taken Micro yet. Hope someone else can help you. Maybe start a new thread?

Hmm, it was very very condensed. It's usually taught in 16 weeks during normal semesters, but mine was condensed into 5 weeks, so it was a shock. We'd learn about 2 chapters a day, and quiz at least 2x a week, test one time a week on multiple chapters. Class was 4.5 hours 4x a week. Honestly I don't think you have to take what I did because it was Bio156IN (Biology for Allied Health Professionals) and it's the prerequisite for Anatomy and physiology I, which you took.

It was the basics of Biology that you would need to understand Anatomy and Physio:

Characteristics of Life and Evolution

Basics of Chem

Cellular Respiration

Human Development

Cell Structures

Tissues

etc...

So while it wasn't hard material wise, what WAS hard about it was the pace and it was a LOT very quickly.

I'd say I studied about 3 hours a day on weekdays, maybe 4-5 on weekends. We didn't really have homework, so my study time was spent reviewing the material.

This is what I am doing...a condensed Bio class....41/2 hrs every Mon morning...we did the first 2 chapters, next is Ch 3 on cells, then 17,17a and 19....I think that's it...very few chapters but a fast paced class in 6 wks....My Prof used to work for Mount Sianai(sp) and helped develope the the meds that helped Lance Armstrong recover from cancer.....He says Armstrong is a great guy.

Anyway, he is a pretty cool Prof so far....we had a mini quiz out 2nd wk, this Mon is our 1st exam....however, we will divide the class into 2 groups, play a jeopardy game and the team with the most points gets etra credit on the exam.....after the game, we take our test....he uses powerpoints and just sticks to what we really need to prepare us for A&P1.....I'm enjoying the class so far.
