Starts in January!! Finished up A&P 2, English Comp I, and Sociology this semester on campus. I am excited to have the chance to take classes online through CCCOnline. This will be SO much nicer with my work schedule and no commuting to class. I'm a good self studier so this should work out well. Already ordered my books, just have the lab kit and microscope to order. I'll order those items first week in January. Lab at home should be interesting. Looking forward to it! :)
I know someone that took Micro with them in the past and the labs were online; I guess they must have changed it recently. Yes, it's kind of expensive, but I'll probably end up doing it anyways. You guys that are taking it now please share your experiences if possible.

Hi Lt,
Yes, I thought the labs were all online too. I am trying to get through to the school to get some information but I am not having much luck. Nobody that I have talked to, including the biology department, seems to know about the microscope purchase requirement etc.
Yeah it is expensive, but I don't have to leave the compfort of my home or find babysitters, ask time off of work etc. So the convenience factor played into the decision for me. I will let you know how it all turns out in the end though!
I am also interested in ccconline's Micro. I just can't believe how much it costs.
Approximately:
$560 for tuition
$140 for the text
$79 for the microscope (Additional charges for accessories)

Yes, please keep us posted. I absolutely love online/distance learning for those very reasons. I am just in sticker shock :chuckle OH well, I'll get over it. My darn tuition at nursing school is sky high too. :uhoh21:

Thanks for the info Foto!
Hey Mona,
I ended up registering and I'll be taking Micro this semester as well through CCCOnline, I'll keep you posted as to how it goes ok!
Where did you all find the book information? I went to the bookstore and I did not see an isbn. The one that I have is 0072951702 and it has ch 1-17, I think. Also, are the cd's required? I have found that mostly the cd's that come with the book are for your own personal use, i.e. not required for the course.

When you sign up for the class they email you the isbn # of the books you need. My book has more than chapters 1-17. hth's

I did sign up but I have not paid for the course yet. Maybe that is why I did not get an email with the necessary information regarding course materials.
