Teacher Recommendation

sassiebaz · Nov 10, 2008

Hi, I am finishing up a couple of prereqs, and was wondering if anyone could recommend a teacher for A&P and Micro. I am flexible in terms of which MCC schools I can attend. If you would rather do this privately, feel free to email. :typing

I don't have any suggestions, but I just want to make sure you know Micro is NOT a pre-req like before. Now it's a co-req....just want to make sure you knew this as some do not. Good Luck!!!

Sassie,

Thanks, I do know that, just trying to chip away at these last few classes, :bugeyes: and it opens up the possibility of applying in other nursing programs outside of Maricopa. Appreciate the fyi!

hi, I recommend one at phoenix college. she is great. I took Bio202 with her. she was also recommended to me by my friend.

I met a couple of people who have taken Bio 201 or 202 with other teachers before and ended up dropping them.

they re-took with my instructor and said there's no way they do bad this time in her class because she makes sure you understand the material.

I took Bio201 with a part-time teacher at PC and she was ok (I got an A). but my other instructor was by far better. her website is helpful. she responses to students' email quickly. she welcomes questions. also, she records her lecture on MP3 so you can download it and listen with your i-pod.

http://www.pc.maricopa.edu/Biology/pfinkenstadt/index it's her website.

dont get me wrong, these classes are not easy peasy ones at all. she gives you lots of assignments, lots of quizzes. but at the end of the semester, you feel comfortable, knowing you undrestand the material. I got powerpoint hand-out, so everything on the exam are from those hand-out. they also give you the study guide (lecture review) before the exams. and some extra credit activities.

I took micro at scottsdale cc with a lady who knows what she is teaching. she also welcomes questions during the class. I took it over the summer so I was really busy, studying for both lecture and lab. she gives you lots of homework, and quizzes which help to bring your grades up. we didnt neeed a text book in that class, btw. she gave us hand-outs, and we just study them. I got an A.

someone told me another teacher at PC for micro is a good teacher, too.

Just wanted to make sure...there was some confusion yesterday with another poster. She could have already applied but thought she needed micro. Things change around here so frequently, how is anyone supposed to keep up??? :bugeyes:

Yeah, I have also heard that the PC instructors are great! I did an M.A program there and my instructors were all RN's(MSN's) and they were Awesome!!! I think I will do some of my pre-req's there. It's a little bit of a drive but will be worth it in the long run(I hope). I will chip away one at a time as Im gonna do the LPN program at one of the skill centers.....God willing!
