Hi! I'm looking for advice / feedback for those who've taking courses via JHSN online. The JH new student Welcome Packet says courses will take approx 10-15 hours a week for classes with a lab. Courses are 10 weeks long and JH recommends taking on 7 units at a time. I'd like to take both Chemistry and Microbiology this Fall (8 units). I work full time, 12 hour shifts 3-4x a week, but can take a day off here and there if needed. If its truly 30 hours of study a week total it seems doable. Any thoughts on the workload for these courses--time, difficulty? If I'm looking to get As, is this totally doable or a stretch in your opinion? Thanks for your help!!

Hi Finn's mom! Thanks so much for your input on JH courses. I realize your post is a few months old, but I'm hoping you can help me with answers to some of my questions about JH online prereqs. I'm starting the Chemistry course (Fall 2018) and considering taking Microbiology at the same time. Is this a crazy idea in your experience? The JH Welcome packet says plan 10-15 hours a week per lab course, would you say this is accurate? How are you finding the courses, work load, time requirements etc? Do you think Chem and Micro at once is doable with work? The price tag is high, but it seems like the courses may be more interesting and work better schedule time-wise than the community colleges.
