  1. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    shortnorthstudent replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    I think you're overthinking them. I do have to say though that my first inclination on the 4th question was response D. My reasoning is that it shows knowledge that consumption of red meat can mess...

  3. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Why am I a B student?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

  7. CSCC response time for online track

    shortnorthstudent replied to shawn_yle's topic in Ohio Nursing

  9. CSCC response time for online track

  10. Would appreciate advice on combining pre-reqs

    shortnorthstudent replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a pretty busy schedule. I would consider taking only one class at a time and reevaluating your work schedule prior to starting nursing school. However, if you want to take more than one class I...

    shortnorthstudent replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Students

    shortnorthstudent replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

  21. Tell me if you think this is fair.

    shortnorthstudent replied to SPN-RC's topic in General Students

    You mention that you e-mailed your instructor that you would not be in lecture. But, you didn't indicate how that made your absence excused. I don't think that the simple act of contacting an...

  22. Pre-Req's

    shortnorthstudent replied to Krystalia's topic in General Students
