Hi all! This question is for those who have completed nursing micro at uta through online-ap... The tests have been extremely difficult and extremely tricky... Absolutely ridiculous to say the least.... Since my class averages are in the mid to low 70s I'm sure they agree lol. Anyways... Today I received an email containing a review for the final from the professor.. Is this review true to what the exam holds or should I study more extensively than what has been presented? Thank you very much for your responses!!

I would say if you are in at tarletan then go for it!!! Uta program is very difficult to get into and I know of several people with 4.0 and high hesi and have gone three cycles not getting onto The program!!! Not worth The risk if ur in somewhere else I u ask me :)

Thank you shelly! With how detailed the tests are I didn't know what to expect with that..

Hello all! I just wanted to give a quick update! I have now completed week two of online micro through uta and I am carrying an A :) for now at least... The course material is not what is difficult. What is difficult is the professor likes the gotcha game... Her questions are often aimed trying to trick the student which makes no sense to me... You have to be weary of what you are reading in her tests... I'll say this each time o have submitted a quiz I thought I knew I got 100 on it and it has never been the case... I know the material but I had to have gotten tripped up in the wording. So for all who are considering this course for next term take caution!!! You can do it but read SLOWLY!!! I will keep you all filled in as the course progresses! :)

Hi mochachild! Do u have access to lab portion of micro yet?!? I still don't and did safety training 2 weeks ago!!

Hello tejas03.. I am in the micro at uta too and wow bummer about the lab still!! I emailed my academic coach and asked if we would get an extension since we are three days in and still aren't able to access that half of the class... Im hoping they do cuz I have no idea what they are looking for in the lab potion and I want to b prepared an not rushed for the quiz.... I'll let u know what he says about the extension as soon as I hear back from him... I have taken the first lecture quiz and had the rest of the week reserved for lab but that's not happening apparently... Good luck on the class!

Thank you so much that's a big relief!! I look forward to it!

I guess I should have checked with someone beiges I spent the 210 on it I wish I could have saved that money! Thank you for your reply! Are the labs fairly easy to follow once you are able to access it? I cant even see the directions or questions or study guide it comes up as empty folder..It's so frustrating that we are day two and so far no one is able to access the lab portion even after completing the safety training and making the professor and academic coach aware of the issue...thanks again for your response.. I'm so nervous taking this course already and I don't want to get behind or stumped by this!

hi all! i just started my micro at uta today. so far i cannot access the lab portion of the course. is this what the rest of yall experienced as well. i have already completed the lab safety training. i like to be ahead of the game and i dont want it to be friday before i have access to the labs. also im kind of confused about the lab portion. since i cant access it on blackboard i am looking at the labpaq disk and trying to figure out what are we going to be responsible for doing.. do we even need the materials that were provided in the box since we dont have a real microscope to look at the end result with? if someone could explain the lab portion of this course a little better i would greatly appreciate it. thank you all! i look forward to hearing from you

Also I can't seem to find a lab manual listed for this class. Is it the one blue book and that's it for lecture and lab?

There is one at tccd all online. What is the grading scale at uta 90 and up is A or is it different?

Just a quick FYI I spoke with the registrar from Lamar yesterdayanf they Said the September class will b full before the aug deadline... Thank you so much for the advice! Did you take the micro online? I'm Having serious issues trying to decide if I should do it....

thank you so much for your quick response! could you by anychance tell me how many start dates they have?

I have also read about her class that you don't need to even buy the book you need to memorize her notes...it's such a hard choice on whether or not to risk it. I have read from others that her final is not bad but I dont want to have to suffer all the way through a class to come out with a withdrawal or a bad grade. I am taking nutrition and public speech at tcc in addition to finishing up my lvn at Concorde all by august... I don't know if I would have the time that an A would require.... plz do keep me updated there is still a week left in case I change my mind :)

If your not in a terrible time crunch you could take it at tccd they have online and traditional this fall... My problem is that I am in a time crunch which is why I was going to risk it.... But I think it's io much of a risk or me I want to keep my 4.0 for graduate school. It will just take me longer to get where I'm going but I have no choice and I will be ok with it as long as I am making some progress... But I researched the professors at tccd.. Don't take ****** I did have her and she was awful the one who offers the micro online in fall is supposed to b decent... Plus it is a third of the cost of uta good luck with what you decide I feel like this is best for me I can't stress about it anymore lol
