Phoenix College BIO 201

Hello =)

I am enrolled to take BIO 201 online through PC this summer. Has anyone taken this course through PC before? I have taken 30+ courses online while I was working on my BA, but those were more liberal arts classes-not science, so I'm a bit worried!

I took a science course through RIO a few years back and struggled so much with it! I tried to enroll in BIO 201 through Rio, but since my HS transcripts were more than five years old, they were going to have me take the prereqs for it and I just don't have time or moeny for that! I just hope I know what I'm getting myself into!

I appreciate any advice =)

Thanks! I just saw your pm about the Bio205 instructor- can you pm that instructors name? Your info has been a big help, I get really discouraged when I get instructors that pick apart my essays!

Could you email or PM me the instructor's name for Bio 201 @ Phx college too please?

Thanks so much!

I think 4 weeks is not enough time for each class. You would have to do 3 lessons each week and that isn't enough time to really absorb all of the information. I think 6 or 8 weeks would be doable, but 4 is crazy! This instructor is not picky about the essays at all, as long as you answer the question, it does not have to be long. I did not have any essays that were over 1 paragraph! I had emailed her at the beginning because I thought she expected them to be long and drawn out like at RIO, but she said she wants the essay question answered directly and to the point. The questions are pretty straightforward too.

The only thing is with the dissector disc, you can only install it on 1 computer after you activate it. I installed it on my laptop, and didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to install it on another computer, so make sure whatever computer you install it on is the one that you will be using for the entire class.

I am worried a little about the micro because we have to cover at least 2 lessons each week, and I don't really know what to expect in person for the lab portion. I figured this was my only option though. I hated the science classes at RIO, and that was the only other option for me.

Hi miteacher,

I know this post is many years old but Could you please also pm me the name of the instructor you referred to in your post above? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
