Wow thats a lot! Are those going to be the only classes your taking? hmmm I am taking AP I & II together and its a lot of work. But I am pulling off A's in both classes. Why don't you take micro or chem in the summer by itself and then take AP II and whatever you dont take in the summer in the fall? If you think that you can do it and still make good grades go for it! But it just seems like too much with all 3 at the same time bc you have your lecture test and lab practicals. Good luck! :)
Im taking A&P I and Chem 100 (High school chem) in the summer....and i dont want to forget anything so i want to take chem101 and A & P II in the fall....Im wondering is micro super hard...I dont want to leave micro till later because that will be the only class I have left...I dont know...im confused

I wouldn't want to. I took both parts of A&P in the same semester, and that was quite enough for me. But I suppose it has been done by some and it depends on how the courses are being taught - i.e. some courses are taught in such a way that they are more manageable than others, and it also depends on what the rest of your schedule looks like.

I wouldn't do that either if I were you. I took Chem and Anatomy together and barely managed B's in them.. It's worth taking your time, getting better grades and knowing the material. Just my opinion. :) Good luck!

Depends on what else you've got going on outside of school. I'd go for it, but that's just me. Providing I get into NS school, I'll be doing 9 hours of nursing credits plus A&P II and Micro next fall. But, I won't be working. If I had to work, I wouldn't attempt so much.

Personally I wouldn't. I'm taking A&P 2, lifespan dev psy, creative writing, Chem 260 and a computer skills class and am going insane just between my Chem and A&P. A few people I know are doing the 3 your asking about, and are passing, but are also growing grey hairs and lightning speed! But, hey, we can do anything we put our minds too. Just deside if you have enough time to commit to that workload. Honestly, sit and think about your day to day life, and if you could carve out 4-5 hours nightly to study.
I will not be working...not much of a social life...so thats why Im thinking about taking all those classes...it will only be 13cr hours...
In that case I think you will do just fine! Really, you can do it. It'll be hard as you know, but manageable. I don't work either, and cannot see how anyone could possibly work AND pass school! I spend so much time studying. My house is filthy, my family is neglected, but I'm passing! A&P 2 is difficult because it's so much material, but it's not hard. Chem 101 I took about 4 years ago, I don't recall that being very hard either. Time and brain cell demanding but not hard. You'll do just great.
thanks chocOlate...I have a strong feeling that I can do it...just a bit apprehensive.

Can't wait to hear back from you, after you gotten into these classes.
Why take all these, together? Well, I'm just happy you won't be taking Micro
from my instructor:(((((((
I checked out the professors im interested in taken on rate my professor...and all had excellent feedback, if it were not for the positve things students say about these professors i would not take all of these together : )
