So I have been working on my first science course, Integrated Natural science. I am not a left brained person and so math and science aren't my most anticipated courses to tackle. And the Integrated Natural Science course covers a lot of ground with everything from biology to physics to astronomy. It is a lot to take on.
The learning resources are great as usual, and there are short videos available with a professor that is quite entertaining. I don't think he dates much, but he is a great science professor. My only gripe is the Biology ebook - it looks great but since it is picture heavy it has a slight lag in scrolling pages. Giving it a few seconds to "catch up" usually does the trick. The other main ebook is fantastic; easy to navigate and read, good illustrations, but not overdone.
Needless to say I am behind schedule right now as I was ill for a couple weeks along with horrible allergies but am working hard to get back on track. I still have enough time in the term, but would like to be farther along than I am.
Thanks for creating this blog! I have enjoyed reading your posts! On Wednesday, (9/01/10) I will start my 4th term. I am also not a "Left-Brained person" and I struggle a bit w/math and science. My 3rd term nearly did me in! I had INC1, INT1, QLT1 & QMC1. Factor in a larger amount of personal stress than normal and it was nearly a recipe for disaster. I pulled through though and completed QLC1 & QMC1. Regrettably, I will have to attempt INC1 & INT1 again next term. At least I am better prepared for those courses and now feel confident enough to knock them out quickly!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying about the etext...have you considered renting the book instead? I finally realized that I just absolutely had to have the actual book in front of me to read in order to make sense of things and take accurate notes. I rented mine from campusbookrentals.com, I don't recall exactly what I paid for it but I also googled for coupon codes and was able to save an additional $7. I want to say the whole rental was around $20. You can rent the book by the month, quarter or semester. I highly recommend them! :)
Good luck with your studies!
Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying following my adventures at WGU;)
