2 Sciences classes at Once.....

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hi All,

I am currently taking my pre req. for the TCC Nursing program. From everyone experience, would you suggest taking A & P I and Microbiology during the same semester?

I know Microbiology is learning about the cells, and A & P I is more about the body itself.

What do you suggest?

Also, do anyone suggest taking A & P II during the winter mester?

I am curious and I need some advice.

Thank you,

I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Foote for AP. I just finished his AP1 & AP2 online class. Made an A. I've taken AP before (on campus) and didnt do so well. If you read, do the work and stay organized - Mr. Foote's class is an easy A. And you know what? I learned WAY more in his class than I did with the other teachers. His reviews really force you to read the material. And the coolest part... you get your very own fetal pig to take home. lol

For Micro - I took Dr. Lindsey @ South Campus. She was great. I made a B (less that 1/2 a point from an A - but I'm trying to forget about that). Several chances for some extra credit, and she doesnt try to teach "over your head". She breaks things down so its very easy to understand. Good luck!

taking 2 science classes at once is totally doable like everyone said. I took A&P II and microbiology at the same time this past semester and did well in both of them. Just make sure to research your teacher..maybe go to ratemyprofessor.com to try to get the best one.

Thank you both. I live by RATE MY PROFESSOR.com..... I didn't do it with my first set of classes, and I dropped Chemistry. I am going to work some things out. I work full-time; and I am a single mom. I am afraid of being over my head in work.

Does Mr. Foote teach any A&P classes on campus, or is he only a DL teacher?

dateclassehcri user commentsrmp_rebuttal-icon.gif professors add your rebuttal here4/13/09biol24013541emoticon_smile.pngflag_red.png i took him for both a&p i & ii. both online classes, he is very helpful and is quick to respond to emails. i would highly recommend him for online class, but you must be self disciplined. he will not baby you and lets you know that at orientation. great teacher!12/10/08biol24022534emoticon_smile.pngflag_red.png i thought mr. foote was an outstanding teacher. i, too, had him for an online class, and have to disagree with the previous poster. i think if you actually do what he asks - the study guides, etc. - you learn a lot. when you take an online class, there's a little personal responsibility that goes with it. mr. foote is great!11/17/08biol24013333emoticon_undecided.pngflag_red.png i took him online...nice teacher, tests are fairly easy, however if you want to really learn something(to pass the teas test,especially),don't take his online classes, go to the campus instead!!!4/11/07bio24011224emoticon_unhappy.pngflag_red.png very dificult!!! unclear on what you are doing. i took him for lab only and he lectured most of the time. i didn't enjoy it at all.1/23/06a&p5555emoticon_smile.pngflag_red.png very funny, down to earth, explains well, easy to get along with, great teacher!

I took Psych 2 ITV course. Its pretty much just like taking an online course - you read the textbook material but you also watch videos online.

I took A &P I and chemistry during the same semester, and A&P II and Microbiology during this past semester along with 3 other classes and i got A's in them all;However, A&P II is alot more difficult seeing that that first A P just deals with anatomy and the 2nd one is more physiology which means more detailed and harder to comprehend.But It's not that bad just prepare to study!You can do it!

Also,I would suggest taking a moderately hard A&P I and II teacher because I hear we're really going need to know it for nursing school.

Good Luck!
