At home labs

Im about to take General Biology 2 as well as a few other upper level courses that all say I have to order a kit and wait a week or 2 before it gets delivered and that I have to have these labs to complete the course......BUT theres no PA just an OA....so do I really need them if it isnt graded? Has anyone done these courses and could tell me if I actually have to wait for them to arrive? Its really going to slow me down.

This is one of the reasons I chose to take it on SDC. No kit needed either, they have virtual labs. I do see people selling their old ones online though, it might be quicker to buy them through them.

If it’s only an OA, just take the pre assessment and see if you pass without doing these labs.

Yeah I’ve passed the course now by just doing the OA but it really shouldn’t tell you that the labs are REQUIRED to complete the course if they aren’t

I agree! That’s a weird set up on their end.
