AP2 in 8 weeks (Summer semester) or Micro - 2L8 - 02-02-2020
Hi I am currently retaking AP1 ( I am doing better the second time around with everything) , would you guys take AP2 or micro in the summer? If so what were your expeirences with this course , Our summer semester is actually 8 weeks. I am torn because I truly don't know what to do , like should I take micro (students say it's easier BUT I wonder if the their is a sequence (Like AP 1 , ap 2, micro) , we have "new" counselors so they are clueless.

Hmm. It depends on personal preference and what you feel you're learning more, if it was me, I would go A&P II as it builds on A&P I. When I did my courses I went in this order Medical Terminology, Bio I, Nutrition, A&P I, A&P II, Microbiology all at StraighterLine then Biology II at NMJC. And I recently took the Pharmacology course at StraighterLine as it was free with coupon just for the heck of it.

Thanks! Have you taken it during the span of 8 weeks if so how was it?

Yeah, the NMJC Bio II course was done in a span of 8 weeks. I enjoy these type of courses at 8 weeks or less.
As long as you do the assignments/virtual labs and study appropriately before the exams, it's very manageable.
The StraighterLine courses was a lot faster as I knew most of the material already, so I sped through those.
Most courses I come across are too lengthy and I get bored very easily, I can't stand courses longer than 12 weeks.
