í ½í±í ½í± Thanks for checking out my previous post. Yes my Chem teacher locked me out the class. I wasn't LATE. We were on a BREAK. But I won't go into detail because I don't understand what that has to do with this post. I didn't fail chem 3 times or am I asking for advice. I'm giving my input on the op topic. So perhaps you should also stay on topic. I suggested LVN school because an old classmate of mines went through a similar situation and is now in a LVN-RN program.

Maybe you should ummm...try a LVN program? Failed 3 times?? That's crazy. In my chemistry class I got a B because I never looked at the assigned videos until the middle of he semester. YouTube will be your BESTFRIEND and the online component that comes with the book. Although schools say you can retake a science course, most schools still use the FIRST grade received when considering your application. For example, LAHC considers a W your first attempt.

Try taking it at another school.

This happen to me in a prereq..chemistry to be exact. We were on break, I went downstairs to go to the vending machine and as I was coming back I noticed the door was closed but the door is always closed. I tried to open it and it was LOCKED. I knocked on the door for 20 mins, texted my classmates and they replied back and said,"she won't let us open the door for you." I literally had to go get campus police for them to let me in the class. Once I got in she claimed she didn't hear anyone knocking.

No W's in science. The W's are waaaay before I declared Nursing last fall. But in California requirements are 1) cumulative 2.5 gpa in ALL coursework; 2) 2.5 or higher in science prereq's; 3) No more than one repeat in science.

I hope you don't talk to your Micro professor the way your replying to others here. I've only had one science teach to give extra credit and/or curve a grade but you literally have to jump through hoops of fire (ex. donate blood and provide proof for 5 points, lecture part of a chapter for 2 points). All I can say is do your best in this class and triple check your scantron and lab before you turn it in. My micro teacher was very much like yours and dropped everyone's grade down a letter. Good Luck.

I'm currently enrolled in my last science prerequisite (yaaay) and as I'm checking local cc's orientation dates for the next application cycle I find myself getting really nervous about my W's. My gpa for my prerequisites is 3.42 and my science gpa is 2.9 (I already know I'll end up with a B in current class) but I have a ton of W's from being young and dumb. Do you think these W's will really have an impact on being accepted into the program??

YouTube & flash cards will be your best friend! I made it out of chem with a B. In a class like this you can't just memorize, you have to really practice. Doing the questions in your book should help you out a lot.

Hey, I took micro over the summer & had a mental breakdown at least three times. I'm not sure what micro book is required for your class but I have an eBook (Alcamo's Fundamentals of Microbiology 9th edition) that I can email you. I also have the microbiology quick study and review questions.

I'm currently taking a micro this summer and my professor does not like me...For what reason? I have NO IDEA. I rarely speak to him except for a good morning or have a nice day. At this point it seems like he's slowly torturing me. He's constantly asking me why am I still in his class, he gave my seat away, and he just always finds a way to say something negative to me. At first I wasn't making a big deal out of it but now I dread going to class because I feel like I'm being bullied. It's at the point where my classmates are asking me what did I do to make him dislike me so much. Any advice on how to handle this would be a blessing.

I struggled with Intermediate Algebra in the beginning really bad.. I had a D at the 8th week. I knew I had to change something. First thing I did was go to ol' faithful YOUTUBE! In class rather than writing while the teacher is explaining, I watched then jotted down the notes quickly and made little side notes to myself. That worked for me, I ended up with a B.

I feel the exact same way but in my opinion it's what you put in plus what kind of professor you have. My teacher didn't like us asking questions most days and other days when we didn't answer she refuses us to lecture, so it was a lot of self-teaching. One thing to do is study EVERYDAY at least two hours and form a study group.

ALL THE TIME! Sometimes schools don't go by the gpa but a point system. I know a fellow classmate that had a 3.9 and was sure she would get into the program but she didn't due to the point system

I agree with dt70
