I think it depends on what campus you attend. Not trying to dispute the message above, but I've taken both A&P's and Micro at TCC. There was no curve. You got what you got. Now,that being said, a lot of professors will offer extra credit. Make sure you do it. It will help!! In addition to the sciences, I've had SDV 101, three different Psych's, an ethics class and Statistics. It's a great place to get a good education but you can't slack. If you do the work and keep up with the classes, you'll do great! Good luck to you!!

I forgot to answer the original question... I have a Bachelor of Science and in my pre-req's I had a 3.9. Good luck to you! Carrie:o

I'm in Cohort 1! Excited to meet yall at orientation on the 11th! Oh...does anyone know if we need a PDA for clinicals? Congratulations yall! Carrie

Hi! Congratulations! You can do it--just check to make sure you need the chemistry. If you take Micro, that subs for Chem at TCC. If it were me, I would take the A&P with something like Med Term and English. A&P is a TON of work,but not impossible. If you set up your schedule in a way that will help you you'll do great! Good luck!! twosugars

Thanks for the offer of your book taandoh! I appreciate it :) I bought the text about three weeks ago from Amazon--it's Saladin, 5th edition. The bookstore price was a packaged deal, (text, lab manual, cd, internet connect card) for $400. I thought the person at the bookstore was kidding when she told me the price! I went onto Amazon and got everything listed above for $225--still a chunk but better than nearly double that! I am taking it at the VB campus and very nervous about it. I think I'll do ok, but not having had a science for over 10 years, it's definitely got me concerned. I can't believe that it starts next week! Thanks for all your help! Carrie

Thanks for all the great information! I joined the Yahoo group yesterday and I've read the first three chapters in the book. Has anyone else purchased the textbook yet? I ended up buying it off amazon after I nearly died at the price at the bookstore. I'm taking the class on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the lab on Friday at the VB campus. I looked at the professor website and thankfully both of mine have good reviews. Thanks again for the information! Carrie

I'm wondering if anyone has taken A&P through TCC? I'm taking it this fall and have lots of butterflies about it...just looking for some info regarding how difficult it might be, study tips, testing tips, etc. Any info is appreciated! Thanks!!!
