I'm currently taking BIO202 and am having a very poor experience. Our instructor does not care for student questions in class, and the environment is not conducive to learning at all. I've gotten A's in my other BIO classes and had a 3.87 undergrad GPA. I've had FANTASTIC instructors at the college I'm at now. It is far from my house, but I chose to drive the extra miles to get there for spring BIO202. Now I regret this decision. The class is averaging a D and the whole thing is terrible. Instructions and expectations are unclear, and the communication with the professor just isn't there. I've tried everything and feel completely demoralized. I've never dropped a class in my life and I'm thinking this might be the first. I care about learning this material very well- and it is not happening in this class.
I've taken the steps I need to talk to the dept, but it is too late to back out of this class. At this point, I'm looking to re-take the class for my own personal learning as well as a better grade. My school options include Gateway, Glendale, PVCC and Phx College. I do not want to take the class online. Can anybody please PM me with any professor recommendations as well as BIO202 classes to stay out of? It will be my second time around paying and taking the class, and I want to be able to be successful and learning the material with a reasonable instructor who is not rude or has a "no questions allowed" attitude.
I plan to re-start summer or fall. This is such an important class, so thank you in advance for your recommendations!
