Does anyone know how it works with the NURS 335 course Clinical portion not starting until Nov 19 in the Fall? My course schedule looks like there won't be class/anything on Mondays until the Clinicals begin, but I want to see if this is right. I need to book a flight for September and want to know if I can fly back on a Monday without missing class. Thanks for any help!

I honestly found it pretty even across all the chapters. Ones that I thought would be more in depth weren't really. Like they probably just equally divide it out. I also didn't find that it went into more detail necessarily. I found the final the most difficult just as there are more chapters and a lot more questions. Second midterm was pretty similar in difficulty to the first when I wrote it.

I finished up BIOL 235 last month, so hopefully this helps. As I was reading the chapters, I followed the posted "study guides" for each chapter. I literally went down the list of key words and "need to know" concepts. I read everything, but took notes only on the topics listed. When it came to studying, I made sure I could answer all of the listed concepts at the beginning of the study guides. Meaning, the portion under "after you read this chapter you should be able to...." And then went through my own notes, following the study guides along. I used Orion for the first midterm, but found there is a lot more detail than you actually need to know for the exams. I did just as well on the other two exams without Orion. It couldn't hurt to use, but it goes into WAY more detail and covers many more topics than are on the exam. I also printed out some "fill in the blanks" pages from the internet to help memorize bones and muscles, etc. Overall, I found the Study Guides posted in the course for each chapter very helpful. As for retaining content, I just read, re-read, took notes, etc... but I don't really have any tips there. Good luck!!

I contacted them for the same thing and they said that they go off the "post-mark date that is listed on the document." My official transcript arrived after the deadline, but it had been processed by the other institution a few days before, which was fine. I had conditional acceptance, which was recently updated to fully admitted. The email also stated that it may take up to 6 weeks to be processed by the U of A. So if yours was mailed before the deadline, you should be fine. If not, I would contact the U of A to find out.
