Science courses

[cookderosa]

Is it inorganic Chem or just General Chem? If Cookderosa stops in she may be able to help She did a lot of science courses with lab online through Ocean County College in NJ. I have never done an in home science lab course, but I did take General Chem I&II and Organic Chem I&II all with Lab. I did them at the nearest CC and having others to talk and study with was a big plus. Good luck with your studies. Let us know what you find, I still might decide to take a couple more science courses I have never gotten around to Physics and Maaannnny years ago I failed Micro, it might be fun to try that again.

I'm 99.999% sure any and every organic comes in as lower level (clearly decided by someone who has never taken organic, but anyhooo.....)

My Organic Chemistry with Lab I & II from Raritan Valley Community College came in to TESC as CHE-341 and CHE-342; 5 Upper level credits each. These were very intense 5 hour a week courses in seat. I just A$$ u me d that all Organic Chem were upper level.

Now this is interesting. Could you give me more info about the Harvard degree? I kind of got lost there but it piqued my interest.

Linda- love this. And, this makes the Nat Sci degree so much more within reach btw. You can find orgo online easily, and I've found a few with digi labs (cheaper than home labs) this is kinda exciting. Of course, not many people randomly take general chemistry 1 and 2 with labs :ack: but if they have, I think this puts 2 more classes within reach (ish....lets be honest, orgo isn't going to be easy, especially without a F2F teacher). Question, were your CC orgos 5 credits before transfer too?

I love to talk about this, search my username and "Harvard" and you should find a ton of threads where I yap and yap away lol. I haven't the time this second, but if you can't find what I've already written I'll talk to you tomorrow. In the meantime: Harvard Home go to "Continuing Education" tab at the top. LOVE that program- I dropped out- but it taunts me endlessly So, about once a month I go to the web site and swoon. Someday......

Yes they were 5 credits when I took them and TESC gave me 5 credits for each. My Gen Chem I & II and my A & P I & II and a Physical Sciece with Lab were each 4 credits when taken and TESC gave me 4 credits for each. So of the 43 credits I transferred in to TESC 30 were in seat science credits. The rest were 6 Math 6 English and 1 Phys. Ed. So you can see why I was hoping for a Science Degree when I first started.

Yes!
And rarely, seriously rarely, do I ever trust what I'm told by a random TESC "info@TESC" employee....this serves me right.
Early on in my nursing/medical journey, I emailed TESC about a LDAS in prehealth/premed sciences. I was told by TESC that I couldn't create a learner designed area of study using premeds because the sequence is all lower level. The sequence is essentially:
8- Gen Chem with lab 1&2 (I also had the intro for 4- gen eds)
8- Gen Bio with lab 1&2 (I also had the intro for 4- gen eds)
8- Physics with lab 1&2
10- Orgo Chem with lab 1&2
(throw in 8- A&P with lab 1&2, 3- statistics DSST, a 3-pathology and a 3-genetics for good measure- my good measure not TESC's)
med school also wants English Comp and Math, so I considered taking those again instead of testing out.

Now, I knew for sure I could force their hand on genetics and pathology because I could take them for grad credit (and maybe a biochem at UNE for 4 if my brain didn't melt). I also knew for sure I'd accept the A&P, chem, and bio as lower level. It was physics and orgo that I "thought" they might throw in as upper. This was going to be close to 60 credits and they wrote me back saying absolutely not.
*yes, I can use this for natural science, but the reason I mentioned it is because their answer wasn't "no, you can't do a LDAS in this subject" it was "these are LL credits."

It's all moot since physics kicked my rear. lol

I found some additional biology/science courses and one or two upper level and some with online labs. Some of the instructors state in their syllabus that their particular course is self-paced. These do require proctored exams, however they appear to be easy on where you have them proctored.

Here is the link to the fall semester, some of the summer session have already started: Fall2011
