Rio Salado CC questions.....

[AlishiaRN77]

Has anyone taken any of the following courses and Rio Salado and how was the class???

Bio 156 - 8 week course

Bio 201

Bio 202

Bio 205

I'm registered to take Bio 156 in January (8 week course) and this will be a refresher for me but i'm nervous about taking Bio 201 or 202 or 205 online. I have had anatomy and physiology way back when so this will be a second round for me. (did really well when I took it then also, A in 201, A in 202, and B in 205 but have to retake because it's been more than 5 years ago)

If you have any advice or guidance regarding these classes I would appreciate ANY input.

Oh and i'm also taking 2 classes a CGCC in Spring

Thanks!!!

As I am reading other replies, I am feeling a little relieved that I am not the only one who had a hard time with the final. I just finished Bio 201 with less than a point below an A and am very upset about the final and probably will be for a while. I made A's on everything in the class, essays and these crazy timed testes and even on the midterm. I spent a solid week studying for the final, carrying notecards and doing online practices and what not. I cannot tell you how amazingly difficult the questions were. I ended up with a C. I do not see how anyone can be expected to retain the entire breadth of information they expect you to know for that test that is somehow worth more points than half of the class it's self, as all finals and midterms are. So no matter how well you do on the rest of the stuff, this test will take your A away. Not to mention, my prof was scrounging for any reason to take points from me, and asked for an extra paragraph on the midterm and final in some random post that I missed, so when I took the test the instructions did not ask for it, so I didn't include it and lost a lot of points as well. So, if you want to work really hard, do really well on virtually everything and still get a bad grade, I recommend these classes.
