What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

WCSU1987 · Dec 7, 2016

AP 1 is done thankfully.

The instructor was great. I think the reviews on Rate My Professor held true. Class was straightforward 9 exams and an optional final. Gave you the exam questions a week prior. No extra credit. The instructor let you slide a little bit if you showed up and tried I feel with the final grade, ha.

Now just have to wait and see what happens with Chemistry. Didn't feel good on the exam today and cumulative final next Monday. Then an extra credit class next Wednesday for Chemistry. Instructor drops I think lowest quiz score, lowest lab score, and lowest graded homework. The exam I think is worth about 20% of your total grade I believe.

Home from my last final!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't be happier that all that it behind me. Though final grades aren't posted, Nutrition, A&P I, and Speech are all A's. I'm pretty sure Stats is a B, which sucks, but it is what it is.

5 weeks and it starts all over again!

Chem Final tomorrow and snow storm approaching. Hoping class is not canceled want to get this over. 200 point exam, 25% of your grade I think.

I got my first C, in stats. I'm REALLY bummed and this drops my GPA down. And I had a sit down meeting with my teacher mid-semester and he said that he felt like I was trying hard, so he'd round my grade up - he didn't. I just sent him an email about our conversation, but I doubt it's going to do much good.

So 3 A's (A&P, Nutrition and Speech) and a C for this semester. It's my first ever C.

I'm sorry, Jen. I know how hard you worked, and it must be disappointing.

I had my last practical in A&P I today and I earned a 107. She gave us lots of bonus points, which I'm happy to take! Next Sunday, I have my lecture exam and I'M DONE! :up:

In other news, my always-homeschooled daughter has decided to go to school! She starts later this week at this tiny progressive school that will be great for her. So this opens up my days quite a bit, which leads me to pose a question to you all!

I plan to apply to two nursing programs on the spring - a traditional classroom-based hospital program and a self-study community-college program. I really want to go to the hospital program. It requires an additional nutrition course that the CC program doesn't, and if I took it this semester, it will really help me out later because my schedule will be more open.

BUT! What if I don't get into that program and I've spent the money on a class I don't need? As it is, they've already changed their requirements once in the past six years since I started taking pre-reqs and I ended up not needing a class I took. It didn't cost me a fortune out anything, but still.

I'm already scheduled to take A&P II next semester, access I think I can handle nutrition, too, since my days will be radically different than they've been for the last eleven years...

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions, please?

I'm so sorry! Your other grades are A's though, that's awesome, you should be proud of yourself. Try not to let that C bring you down. If it makes you feel any better, I'm probably going to end up with a C in microbiology. You seem to do really well in science courses, so I have no doubt you'll ace your next classes.

Is the hospital program an associate's degree program? Even if you take nutrition and don't get into the program, you will most likely need it for a BSN program. It is not useless information and if you can afford it, it wouldn't be a loss. I'd say go for it :)
