I would choose Micro to take over the summer.

Thanks Willowita! I was actually leaning more towards A&P2 since I have heard that micro is really hard and I'm scared to take it condensed in the summer, 4 days a week. Can you tell me why you would choose Micro for the summer? Thanks so much for taking the time to reply :)

I would take micro over the summer.

What is hard or easy is different for each person though.

I thought micro was the easiest of the sciences.

Micro was the last pre-req I took before being accepted in nursing school because I thought it was going to be the hardest of all the sciences. At the end it turned out to be the easiest for me and I enjoyed that class a lot.

So I would take micro over the summer :)

I am taking A&P II over 10 weeks this summer and it is brutal. I spend at least 4 hours per day outside of class studying per day. It is a ton of info to do in a regular semester! I would take the micro.

Like others have stated, I thought Micro was a lot easier than A&P 2. The nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems were so complicated for me I couldn't imagine learning those in a summer course. Micro has some tricky concepts but overall, it's not that bad. And the labs are fun.
