Which would you recommend taking during the summer: AP 2 or MicroBio? I'm definitely taking one or the other, just haven't decided fully yet.

Well I can tell you just from my personal experience I took Hum A/P during the summer. I wanted to continue to get the A/P out of the way. So if you are currently taking A/P now take A/P in spring and then take Micro in the summer. It was hard (especially since all I wanted to do was hang out with my kids and travel)however very doable. I did take that class along with something easy like Developmental Psych. I sweaked out an A. I am currently taking Micro now. It is different from A/P however still requires a lot of studying. Most of the slides are online and I dont have to live in the lab. I say all that to say... It probably doesnt even really matter what order since you probably need both in order to get into the nursing program you just have to put your head down and dig in!!!:smackingf. I hope I gave you some insight instead leaving you confused:rolleyes:. either way GOOD LUCK!!

Keep in mind that the summer session at TCC is only 10 weeks, so any class you take would be crammed into those 10 weeks instead of over the usual 16 weeks you'd have in the Spring or Fall.

Because of that, I'd decide which of the two would be easier for you and take that one during the summer.

THanks for the replies. I'm not decided which I'm taking (imagine that), and will probably decide next semester when I'm in AP1. I'm only taking this course next summer too as I know it is a condensed session.

You will have more flexibility with taking the micro than the a&p 2 since there will be more sections of micro. Or you could do like I'm doing and take a&p 2 and micro at the same time...:banghead:
