Thread: who took BIO 130 Anatomy & Physiology

The amount of effort that you put into the class directly correlates to your success in the course.

It is extremely rare that students do not succeed after attending EVERY class, actively participating in class, doing the optional/recommend work, and not procrastinating.

If you are still struggling, seek help. Don't get discouraged if your guidance counselor or professor aren't as helpful if you'd like them to be -- keep finding help until you get it.

For the most part though, especially in these lower level classes, if you show up and do what the professor expects from you, you'll be fine.

I did and it was not that hard.

thanks for the support guys, i started college last year, which is about 7 yrs after high school. my math isnt the best so before i take this course i need math 006.
the subject of biology intersts me but its the math involved in any of these classes that gets to me
im going to be an RN so these are the required classes to get into a program
i understand that there is math involved in nursing like calculating dosages but im not bad with that type of math, its the semi-advanced algebra and geometry and shit

There's not really much math in biological science classes. Sure, there are some calculations, but nothing like physics or chemistry.

good to hear thats what id like to know

Are you going to have to take organic chemistry? It was required for pre-med and nursing students when I went (probably when you were in diapers). If so you're screwed.

the hardest part was the on hands on tests we had, the memorization was killer, you had to pull it all out of your head, no multiple choice, you either knew it or you didn't.

I took Anatomy & Physiology by correspondence while being in 5 classes. It was a nightmare, I learned to never take a correspondence course again.

LOL, NO thank god , its not
m doing full time and accept the fact that once iit gets going, i wont have uch of a life, but itll be worth it

Show up to class and just take notes and read them over and over, you are gonna learn every little part of cells, your hands, feet, ears, hormones, cardiovascular system, disease, organ placement and functions....not much math but a whole lot of memorization....
