Human Growth and Development Course

Published

I'm starting this course next week. Anyone else taking it or anything that sounds a bit like it? I really am not sure at all what to expect but I know I'm about to find out in a big, fat hurry!!

Kayel, how did you do? Sorry I didn't get to this until today to offer my good luck vibes. I still have another week to go. We're watching a movie tomorrow night and then final (not cumulative) next week. Didn't make it through the whole life span (didn't think we would). But I'll be happy to have it behind me, at any rate.
Hiya! It went okay .. vague as always and it could go either way. I'm just going to believe I got a B and if I get an A I will just be pleasantly surprised, kwim? Frustrating. I'm like you -- I am happy to have it behind me!!

Good luck on the rest of your course. We missed a week when my prof's sister (I think ) died and then she also said she couldn't teach the last section on Death so we didn't have to learn that chapter.

Well, I'd better go study for my A&P exam tomorrow night. I am freaking out a little bit as there is so much to know -- from the beginning up until special senses and ..... oi yoi yoi ... why is it that the exam that is worth more is the one I am not ready for?

I'm sure you did better than you thought. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck on your A&P exam. I have mine on Saturday, but luckily it's not cumulative, though covers about 5 chapters, so will be a lot of material nonetheless. I can't believe the semester is almost done!

Thank you!!! Good luck on your exam!!! Saturday would be a little hard as well. We have a huge number of bdays at this time of year and they all fall on weekends this year. We just got through my 7 yo ds's last weekend and Saturday is my mom's and oldest dd's and Sunday is my dad's. To top it off, we have our two youngest's Christmas choir concerts Saturday -- one in the aft and one in the evening. (we are celebrating all three on Sunday) I can't imagine if I had an exam at the same time as the birthdays but I'm sure it will happen one of the years. Dh's is three days after Christmas so that is usually a bit more relaxed.

Our A&P prof is hard .. I really like him .. but ... some people say he doesn't really teach and he DOES do the "let's play a game to see how smart you all are" thing .. so there will be quite a few integrative questions on there. Um ........ anyway, argh, back to studying!! I will check back to see how you are doing on your studying (well, in one thread or another lol). Take care!!

Well, took the final last night. It was okay... she basically gave it to us last week, so we knew what to study, but I procrastinated and some of her questions I still wasn't quite sure what she wanted, but I gave it my best shot. And when I turned it in I got my research paper back and found out I got an A+, and it counts as two test grades, so really not too concerned now. I'm just happy to have this semester over with!

Wow -- good stuff!!

Okay are you ready for this -- my own little Christmas miracle was that I just checked my grades online and got an A-!!!!!!! An A is an A is an A and I am PUMPED! Yes, I would have liked an A or A+ but it's all good .. especially considering I thought I potentially bombed the final. As it is, I must have gotten an A on it. YEEHAWWWW!!!

I concur -- I am just happy to have this semester over with! I hope I don't come up against the same type of course and prof again ... okay, I will, but hopefully next time I'll be better psyched to deal with it!!

Merry Christmas!!

Congratulations! That's great news. What's on tap for next semester? I'll just be taking one class: microbiology. Should be interesting (I hope). But for now... FREEEEE-DOMMMM!

Wow, that's a lot for the spring! You're starting nursing courses already, eh? That's great, I would love to be getting into that stuff now rather than having to wait. Good luck on the nutrition course... I took that last summer, not quite as interesting as I'd hoped, but still some good stuff there.

I'll be taking Growth and Development, adolescent and adult this winter, and that of the child in the spring.

Yeah it's a bit of a teaser in case you don't get in to 2nd year, I guess LOL. In a way it's kind of dumb because if you don't get in and decide to pursue something else unrelated, those courses would have to be considered electives, I think. In pre-reqs we take Human Growth and Development and Nursing Foundations I, both nursing courses. I am planning to get back at the books tomorrow and get a little chunk of Nutrition finished ... before it's too late and my holidays are over! See you in another thread!!

Cool! I hope you enjoy the course!! It is interesting but I didn't have a very good prof so it kind of sucked. What else are you taking?
