Anyone Taking Pharmacology at HFCC?

I took it last year and I have to say that aside from the teacher, the class was a dissapointment. I expected the material to cover certain subjects in depth, however we just scratched the surface. In fact, the textbook is good for information, but my class only covered about half of the book. I don't know if the class layout is standard for all sections ( we only took 4 tests, no final), but if it is, and you read the whole book, you should be over prepared for whatever comes your way. I would suggest that if you arent familiar with basic medical terminology to go ahead and learn some. We spent about a week (not part of the syllybus) going over terminolgy and body mechanics to help bring a couple of students up to speed. All that being said, the class was a very easy A.

Thanks for the input. Sorry to hear this class didn't 'own up' but this isn't the first time I heard this. Did you take this class online? My online class seems to be a little demanding but not over bearing. The layout is a little confusing since every assignment needs to be delivered a different way (email, upload, DB, etc.) :uhoh3:

I am taking it this semester but in class. It seems quite easy. Hopefully it will be.
