Ivy Tech Spring '10 Applicants

deception9999 · Jul 27, 2009

199 was for spring and 206 for fall. there is an alternate list i've been told and not sure how low that goes.

Those scores of 199 and 206 are much more believable as actual lowest scores rather than the average (which is what you posted the first time). I believe you, just surprised that they told you actual numbers. . . usually they are so tight-lipped about it all.

About transfer credits, mine for Psych and Eng finally went through, and yes they are on my transcript (the unofficial one you can see through Campus Connect). I am waiting to get my official one until after I'm done with Aphy 102 which will be next week (then waiting for the grades to be officially posted of course).

Has anyone here taken A & P 101 online out off the Terra Haute campus recently, if so can you please tell me which textbook was used. Thanks so much. I am taking it over even though I am just about to graduate the LPN program, but when I apply to the transition program my A&Ps will be at the 10 year mark. The registrar says they will approve it - the nursing dept. says no. It is sooo frustrating. :bugeyes:

I am not 100% sure, but I believe all online A&Ps use the textbook by Marieb & Hoehn, green with the picture of Serena Williams playing tennis on the cover.

I know I can't be the only one that is totally relieved that the Summer session is over. I took ANP102, got the grade, but it sure was a lot of work! How about you all, did anyone else cram this summer?

How about the TEAS, anyone have a game plan for studying?

My 102 class isn't over until next week. I have until the 4th to take the proctored final (online class).

Guess I posted too early then :) Our session is still going too, but the final which will be given today, is optional and I didn't need to take it. Phew!

You had an optional final for 102? Holy cow. I wish it were optional for online 102. We have to pass the final with a minimum 65% in order to pass the class, no matter what our grade going into it is. So for me, I either get an A, or fail. No in between. I don't expect to fail, so I'm pretty sure I'm getting an A. It sure would be nice if the final were optional though!

MistyMiss · Jul 29, 2009

Yes, the set up is very nice! You can take the final to replace your lowest test score. Not only that, but if you want to improve, let's say just your lab score, you can take only the lab portion of the final. I think they have found a nice way to give people a second chance in the class if they struggled during one of the sections. Points were fair also, a lot better than 101. We took 6 100 point tests, 3 10 point quizzes and 70 points for HOMEWORK! It was nice to know that the effort of producing the homework counted for something.

So what is the grading scale? You listed a total of 700 pts and then if the final is optional and you don't take it, you'd have 700 pts. In the online classes, there are 1000 pts with 900-1000 being an A.

csab · Jul 29, 2009

We had 4 exams--the first and third being 100 pts each at home, and the midterm and final being 200 pts each proctored. Then we had 11 lab quizzes at home, and 11 discussion boards to post. I believe the lowest two lab quiz scores get dropped.

MistyMiss · Jul 29, 2009

The scale is the same, 90% or a 630 + gets an A.

Both programs seem to have their own perks, taking a test at home would really rock, but the midterm or final could hurt you. Having the opportunity to drop a test and replace it with the final is great, but the tests are all in class.

Do you remember reading about the program that was all open note tests? Greenfield or Greencastle maybe?
