Ap2 Summer course?

[shammie]

I've taken AP1 this past spring, however, my professor isn't a good at all. I've realized I'll have her again for AP2 this fall & I really don't want this. So I'm thinking I should take AP2 this summer (month-long) at a community college. However i spoke to another prof and they said most people dont pass summer science courses and its better to take during the year. i dont want to be piling too much work in 1month to the point where i fail/: my question is would anyone recommend taking month long AP2 class or simply stick it out during the semester? How well/bad did you do?

It's like drinking out of a firehose. You're having such and incredible amount of detail and processes thrown at you and you have to be seriously on the ball to do well. I am taking in in summer only because my professor said I could handle it. You really have to commit and find chunks in the material to stick a hook into and hang on and not count on how your professor delivers it. A real life tip on school, no matter how horrible the professor is, you've got to learn the material for nursing school anyways.

I agree, it is a hit or miss. I found A & P 2 more challenging, so I would not be able to do it in the summer. But if you are comfortable & have a great teacher, I say go for it.
