I am looking for a good instructor ate Glendale , Gateway , or Phoenix college if anyone can PM me any recommendations? I really appreciate it!

I am going to enroll in Patho online (HCR 240) my options are Rio Salado, Glendale Community College, Gateway Community College or Phoenix College offers a hybrid option. It doesn't say when the class meets for the hybrid portion of the Phoenix college class, so I am not sure if that will work with my work schedule. Does anybody have any recommendations for which class is better? I just finished Micro through Rio, which was not to bad, but the mid-term and final where typical of Rio, so I am interested in finding out any info about the other schools formats for online classes. What are their tests like? Do they require a lot of essays or homework? Sometimes with Rio, I felt like I spent so much time writing essays, that I lost a lot of time that could have been better used actually studying for the crazy midterm and final.

I'm on week 3 through Rio Salado, and just got back my grade on my first essays. I only 22 out of 30 points, darn it! I hope I can get everything that she wants in my next essays. That's a little discouraging, but I hope that her notes on what she would add will help my next essay questions. Good luck to everybody!

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!

Thanks for the info on the books. Does the online text have "extras" like interactive exercises? Or is it just basically the book in an online format? I went to Rio for BIO156 and CHM130, I really didn't feel like I needed both the online and the actual book, but the online part had some games that were part of the lesson or short exercises.

Thanks miteacher! I just enrolled at PC. I read reviews on that instructor at rate my professor, she sounds awesome! I am excited to get my books, but the website doesn't list the books that are needed yet for the fall semester.

miteacher - is there anyway you can PM me with the name of your PC instructor that you liked? I took BIO 201 about 8 years ago and got an A- should I take it again because its so old? The nursing advisor at Glendale said she doesn't care how old a science is as long as you took it, but I don't know if the other community colleges in the Phoenix area care about the age of the credit. I hate to take it over if I don't have to!

redbkgiraffe, if you find a good instructor will you PM me too? I am finishing up CHM130 at RIO then am thinking of PC for BIO201 and 202.

Thanks for letting me know, I had a great instructor for BIO 156, but the class was still really hard. I can't imagine a class that is already difficult with an instructor that is not the best.

Hi, I am gettting ready to enroll in CHM130 and am looking for a good instructor if anyone has any hints. I hate Chemistry, but by the time I finish my algebra class to take it, I would have to wait till spring to go through PC. Are there a lot of application essay questions in this class like in Bio156?

Hi, I am just now getting ready to enroll in Chm130 at Rio and am trying to decide whicch instructor. I can't email yet since I don't post very often, can anybody give any hints as to who I should try to get?

Thanks! I feel the same as a lot of people on the essays, I feel like I spend so much time on them that I am missing some of the other info that isn't on them. I think I will do my spring semester at Rio then transfer to PC too.

I forgot to ask, how are the tests at PC? Where do you take them? How many in-person tests are there? I like Rio, because the Avondale testing center is so close to home for me.

How are the labs for PC online bio201? I am at Rio right now in Bio156, and like my labs so far. I took Bio201 about 10 years ago, so I have to take it over since it has been so long.

How do you feel this will affect RN's? Do you think they will have more to try to compensate for fewer physicians? Or do you think this will lead to more understaffing across the board? I am working on my prereq's now, its frustrating to think there may not be many jobs when I graduate.
