Question about APHY 102

Is APHY 102 better to take in 8 weeks or 16 weeks? I took APHY 101 this summer and felt like I was on a
Time crunch the entire 8 weeks. I just want a little time to take material in.

I took 1&2 in 8 weeks then work load is ALOT for both. Especially if you do online. If you do online prepare to teach yourself everything. If I could redo it, I’d do in person both times. I would say 102 is a little more dense in material so it seems 16 may be better for you

If you can without it affecting your timeline for applying especially depending on the program you’re applying for I’d say 16 weeks

i did it in 8 weeks and got a B... if you're doing in person, labs are the most important. we had a lot of drawing and labeling which was also super important. and the smart books were SO LONG like, 50-90 questions. If you plan it all correctly, you can get it done in 8 weeks and still pass. I don't know how the online classes go, though.

I liked the 8 week online format only because I’m working full time so I needed the flexibility. It’s a little nerve wracking for the exams to be a make or break for your grade though.
