Hi everyone I am a current student at the Phoenix Chamberlain/DeVry campus going into my fourth session. Currently I have taken Nr 101, Sociology, A&P 1,2 & 3, Chem 120, Micro 242 and Phil Logic and critical thinking. I am registered for A&P 4 and NR 222. I have questions about upcoming classes like Patho and Health Assessment. I have maintained a good gpa thus far and would like to keep it that way. I need a few more gen eds including statistics and economics. Has anyone taken those? Is online a bad option or would on campus be ideal. I struggle with both topics but online classes have worked for me this far.
Thanks for any feedback, and I will gladly answer any questions about classes that I have already taken.

Hi Melissa! I actually just took my final for economics today and took statistics back in the Nov./Dec. session. I took both classes online and they are not easy but also not hard classes. For statistics, I took the class with Scranton and she was fabulous, you will have a live lecture, discussions and homework assignment once a week and a quiz and assignment due on rotating weeks, every other week. The quizzes are more like an exam, but at least in my class we were given 3 chances to get the highest score. There was also a final and we were given 2 chances to get the highest grade possible. Also, for statistics make sure that you learn minicab early on! It makes this class significantly easier if you learn and use it for the HW, quizzes, assignments and final!! For Economics, I took it with Morales, he was alright, he gave out fairly easy grades. You will have a live lecture, 2 discussions with a minimum of 3 posts and a quiz due every week, 2 writing assignments, a midterm and a final. The class was moderately difficult, however I relied heavily on the live lectures and discussions to master the material and did very little reading from the textbook, whenever I was stuck on an exam question it was easy enough to search the e-book or google to find the answer. Hope this helps a bit!
