TWU Spring 2010

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Spring of 2010? Just thought that I would start a group for all of us hopefuls so we could share information and have a way to communicate with each other.

Have you taken your HESI A2 yet? Have you taken all of your pre-reqs? If not, what do you have left to take?

I have taken all of my pre-reqs, and I just took my HESI yesterday. I didn't think it was bad at all, but I prepared for it for about 3 weeks.

If you haven't noticed, TWU has made some slight changes that I think some people will not be happy with. They are taking into consideration the first grade made at pre-req attempts for several of the classes like A&P, micro, and another class. What do you think of this? I wonder how it will change the applicants chances of getting in?

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!

MMM...I did ok. I could have done better. I'm just going to have to live with a B, I guess. Btw, if you want to evaluate the course and instructor, there is an email from SETE, saying you have a week to evaluate her. I did. And I'm glad I did. She is nice, but kind of needs more structure to the class and my creativity needs to be stimulated. It's just not happening for me right now with the way she reads word for word lol.

I have to agree with you Goopsy, I will send in my evalution also. It's bad enough that the book is poorly written and organized (in my opinion), but for her to just summarize the paragraphs in the book (sometimes word for word) and then read them to us, well that's unacceptable.

I did well on the test, no not an A. I am definately going to be fine with a B in this class. I'll work on making that GPA higher with some other class. :)

Well, I did slightly better by my own merit, but with the lower curve, my score was a few points lower than last test. I expected a higher score, but wasn't counting on the lower curve. That curve is a total wild card. I'm good with it, though. Glad its over!

yah, I've just been shocked to see that some people's scores are in the 50's WITH THE CURVE. Wonder if they are already in the program or not?

Good question, Goopsy. I can imagine, however, if they are, that they probably don't have near the time to study that I do. I know the schedule is pretty grueling. I am only working very part-time, and taking no other classes. I am SUPER glad I decided to take Patho early, because I was really on the fence about it, and came very close to putting it off. So happy I didn't.

I'm also curious who is pulling the 108's and 104's. Someone is seriously brainy. :-)

Someone has wayyyyyy too much time on their hands, or they have been in a med school program and dropped it to become a nurse. I've met a couple of students who've done that, although none of the ones I've met are applying during our application process.

For Plasma,

I was told that the people who applied to the weekend program were going to be notified via mail during the first week of October. Has anyone been notified yet? I was also told that the rest would be notified shortly after the weekend applicants.

Any news so far for anyone?

Does anyone have powerpoint notes, study guides, outlines, or links for Patho you are willing to share?? Our professor at the Denton campus does not provide anything, so any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

PJ...I called 2 weeks ago, they said the weekend program was going to be notified the first week of November. Thats all I know.

lhojo...does your prof use the textbook's test bank or does he write his own questions? Just wondering because our prof uses the textbook's test bank. Her notes are based directly on the book's chapters and mostly word for word of the textbook. If you still want them, you can PM your email address and what chapters you need. About the no notes thing, no handouts...that's exactly why I didn't take the Denton campus course and took the Dallas one instead. I knew the Dallas one was pretty hard, but it's still doable compared to the class you are in. I was told in your class, he talks extremely fast and you are expected to write everything down. I read that online on ratemyprofessors or some site like that. I recommend you buy a recorder if you don't already have one. Does he let you record lectures?

plasma, I guess they are telling you guys about the weekend program at the same time they tell us as well. I really hope it's not the first week of november...I'm dying just to get to the last week of october!

Hi goopsy...yes i know i should have taken it at the dallas campus! He writes his own tests, but any info you have would be a great study tool for me. He is definitely old school and talks very fast. The next test is Nov 3 and covers Ch. 29-33. I'm not sure how to PM.

Thanks so much!
