In trying to tackle as many of the prerequisites I can in a short amount, I was informed of an online course option that was offered through Geneva College via Portage Learning.
I have searched and searched to find detailed reviews of people who have taken a course - to no avail!
If anyone has taken a course from these providers, could you please give me your feedback?
As much information as possible would be greatly appreciated!
I'm confused by your question. When you write that you "went to schools course catalog," what schools do you mean? Need more precision. Give me a link and show me and I will better try to answer you.
And I figured out the answer to the course catalog info! Thank you so much for all of your replies :-)
The catalog just lists the Portage classes as "online only," but that is not an issue because the school is regionally accredited.
Who has online course recommendations for Chemistry and AP1 with lab? Self-paced preferred - I need to complete these in the next 2 months - if you could include suggested school and professor that would be great! thanks much!
I have taken three courses through Portage. The A&P were not difficult for me, but Chemistry was not 'easy'. I have taken Chemistry in high school and college, so I had familiarity with the subject. However, this course is math intensive, and there is a lot of work you need to do for each unit. In addition, it has to be entered into the tool - typing in math problems took me a while. I was always cutting it close on exams, or running out of time. I would have been much more comfortable just writing out the problems instead of trying to type out (sometimes very long, complicated) problems on the pc. That said, I did get an A, but if I could do it again, I would take it in person. There were some concepts that were not well-explained, and I had to go out on YouTube or find other sources to figure them out so I would understand them. In my opinion, you will spend much more time working on this self-taught format than if you just went to class a few days a week.
Hi I am currently taking chemistry 108 on the portage website. I need help. Is there anyway I can speak to you? I am having difficulty with the subject and it isnt easy typing everything online
@Jenniferg310 I haven't taken chemistry, but others. Not sure you'll receive help here...but you should try emailing the professor or there is a student helpline to call into as well. Good luck!
Wondering how long it took those to finish A&P I?? I am taking it now, need to also take A&P II and microbiology with a Dec 15 deadline. Not sure if it's realistic...
You did all the labs in 1 day?? That's what i need to do... I am taking microbio now and need to finish by next Saturday. The labs are super short though! So we can only take 1 exam a day... but that doesnt apply to labs right??
I highly recommend portage to everyone they allow you to move as fast as you want I was in a crunch for a class and was able to study a module and test each day and was done the class in 9 days (I did all the labs in a day then the final the next day)
