Used Chem book

FireFly07 · May 21, 2008

Hi guys!
No final or proctored tests at all in that class. This class requires zero campus visits! Just a final paper on a preservative, which was only 2 pages. The quizzes online are timed. I'm not sure if they started out that way, but we had some "academic dishonesty" in the beginning. I think people were on the phone with each other during the quizzes. So be careful with the phone calls! I would make sure you aren't purposely taking the quizzes at the same time. I'm betting that they will be extra watchful this time.
But I was telling someone else that if you do the practice quizzes it makes the credit quizzes easier. Usually the problems are the same with different numbers. But, don't sweat it. This class is only high school level, and is waived at some colleges if you have had high school chem.

Thanks! I feel better all ready. I was really nervous signing up for the class, but I'm thinking I'll probably survive. I hope lol.

I took the summer 8 week course and managed it fine.

The bad part ( if you call it that), you can take the tests over and over until you get the grade you want,( I discovered that around the 6th week) I do not feel that I learned anything from this class as it was the epitomy of easy.

Good side: Its a very easy course with a "certain" teacher. The virtual labs are simple and well explained. Printing out the instructions before hand will make your life much easier also!

I calculated my grade as we progressed though the course and had a C. I figured "not bad for someone being out of school for 25+ years". When I got my final grade from the teacher, it was an A! I loved the A but felt it dishonest to take that grade...........I never did get a response back after emailing him five times and I still show an A.

JMO..............I love to be able to learn from a class. I do not feel I did it with this teacher.

I am taking chem 101 online through SB this semester. I have Wolfe, is that the easy teacher??

Your posts have encouraged me, so hopefully I can pass it!

My ANP lab teacher said the course was high school level, and it was mostly math. I like math, so I decided to take it online.

I am also taking microbiology this semester :eek: But that is in person.

I was a little weary about taking Micro and Chem in the same semester. Howeever, I took ANP I & II in the same semester in the fall. It was the accelerated course. It was difficult, but I passed it with a B so I was happy. I am majoring in Respiratory Care, not nursing. My advisor said I shouldn't have a problem getting in to the program with a B in the ANP classes .

Wow, long post! Especially since I am not sure if anyone still uses this thread, lol.

I plan on taking this course and teacher over summer. would you please let me know how it goes?

how did u get your book? did you order online or what? i dont want to drive all the way to south bend and get it.

yeahhhh for both of you!!! (the books are about 400 tho :crying2: )

RespiratoryGirl011...i took ANP 201 instead of micro (same time as I took the online chem), 201 was just an extension of anp102 and quite easy, that was in the summer!!, (were not supposed to say teachers names on here anymore, so Ill just say the lady with the name that starts with T) Judging from what Ive heard and seeing the people in the lounge studying for micro, personally, Id be a little scared! lol Micro is ALL essay tests! (so ive heard) eeeeek

I wish you all well!

That chem is alot of math, I just did the practice tests and had the formulas down and the tests were pretty easy. The hardest thing was figuring out the online "laboratory", but its REALLY cool...just get clarification on the instructions if you don't understand, cuz theyre confusing sometimes.

indyivy....i have the books, they were about $400....ill "rent" them for $100 (b/c a friend is taking it next semester) or sell them for $275 (cuz ima broke starvin student!) lol I didn't mark in them at all, they are like brand new (but i also wouldn't care if you did)....pm me if you (or anyone else wants them)

IndyIvy · Jan 10, 2009

Geesh! Outrageous for those books! i think it is wise to rent them out. saves us money and makes it for you. not a bad idea at all! I'll let u know.

Or if anyone would like to buy books online, I use half.com to sell and buy textbooks all the time. It is a branch of eBay. The ISBN # for the Chem book is 9780495011972. You can even get almost new chem books on there for about $125. The only thing you would then have to buy from Ivy Tech would be the CD, which is about $56 from the online bookstore.
