I actually like it quite a bit. I think the instructor is very involved and responds very quickly to our posts and emails. I have not done the labs yet, but I think this method of home lab is fabulous. After doing virtual science labs, which are useful, it is nice to get my hands on things.

How is it going for you? If you need any help, do not hesitate to ask.

Well, I'm not sure how it's going. Today, I find out my assignments weren't in the right format, I am hoping they are in the right format today. I am a bit frustrated with the home lab too. Ugh.

I was thinking of dropping it by tomorrow (last day to drop with refund) and taking it at the local college here in September.

Well, still here. 3 Quizzes, 1 Lab Report and 1 Exam later. :) Learning how to juggle between the two classes and their due dates. Other class is Human Growth & Development. So far, okay. :)

Glad you stayed. I still have this first group of labs to do. Man is it hard to see stuff in that cheap microscope. I tried to see if my husband could rent one for me from the med school but no dice. I tried the first 2 once, but going to try all three again tomorrow. Wish me luck.

That's funny cause I thought the same thing about the scope. Some things I can see very clearly and some things I am like..huh, I don't see any detail at all. I guess it takes some time for some of us to really know what we are looking at. Actually, I have become better at using the scope compared to a couple of weeks ago.

Good Luck

I set up yesterday to start labs 4, 5, & 6. Hopefully, today I'll get through minimum 2 of them and if I'm really lucky, all 3 and hand in lab report #2 sometime this week. Working on Chapter 4 now for the next quiz too and a test in Human Growth. So far, my microscope has been okay.

Who's your instructor? Maybe we have the same one. Me and my girlfriend signed up together for Human Growth but we have different instructors.

My husband is getting really good with it. He stuck his chicken broth under there before cooking with it and liked looking at blood and yogurt. I couldn't believe when I called from work and he says, "Hon, you have to see what is in chicken broth, there is something in there but I can't identify it". Uh, no thanks hon. lol

Hello.

Boy, am I glad I found this thread! I need to take a few classes to improve my gpa and online education will REALLY help me maximize my time!

Questions:

1. How hard is this micro class? I took micro a few years ago in undergrad and loved it, but i would like to improve my grade (A or B). Is that possible with normal effort in this class?

2. Have you guys taken other classes theough CConline? If so, which classes? Would you recommend them?

3. How is this course is going to show up on the transcript? Does the transcript say "ONLINE Lab class" or just plain 'ole micro w/lab? :p

4. Which college do you recommend I use as my "home school"? (most receptive to online students,returns phone calls, etc...)

Thanks in advance for the replies....
