Lsjoel20 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Has anyone taken genetics from Doane university? im planning on taken it in october and will be taking there biochem class along with the advanced physio class at UNE. I understand they will be tough as they are all difficult classes but, just curious how the genetics is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paPassion7 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'm also interested. I'm planning on taking genetics through Doane in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prepaguy23 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Wow youre taking all those classes online? Doane classes require an extreme amount of time. I took genetics at my university and doane biochem over summer and I would have had a very difficult time juggling another science based class class between the two. Doane biochem alone was 5-6 assignments, 3-5 quizzes, 1 test, and an advanced assignment per week. Bless your soul!

Lsjoel20 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 So i think that is what I'm asking trust me i understand how difficult that load of classes is. I am essentially trying to figure out if Doanes 8 week biochem class or UNE's biochem class would lead to a better outcome. I'm less worried about genetics as i am the biochem class.

There was only one test and no quizzes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prepaguy23 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Yeah they must have recently switched it... because i read reviews and it was nothing like the reviews. Granted I learned tons, it was a lot of work in 8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMBPA Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Hey Everyone: I am currently on week 5 of the 8 week Genetics class with Doane University. The genetics class includes being in a small group, (4 total students) and you have to write a discussion statement about a topic by Wednesday night. Write two peer reviews by Friday night from 2 people out of your group. You also have a weekly project or paper analysis , homework (multiple choice questions) untimed, and a timed quiz due by Sunday night. The homework and quiz are graded right away and only get once chance to do it. The project or paper analysis and discussion statements are graded by the professor. The professor responds fairly quickly through email. This is my first online course so as assumed it is self-taught. Each week there is 2-3 chapters assigned for the week. Each week material gets released on Monday morning so you can't work ahead of schedule. I put in 1-3 hours daily, probably closer to 90 minutes and have a solid A so far in the class. I highly recommend Doane if you need 1 or 2 prerequisite courses to get completed. It is very convenient for me being online and working when I can. This is my only course I need to complete prerequisite and I am not taking other courses, but I am holding down a full-time job and father of two. If anybody has any other specific questions please ask. Def. recommend Doane. Edited September 14, 2018 by DMBPA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final is 2 hours long according to syllabus and not sure how many questions it is. I would assume it is all multiple choice like the quizzes and homework, probably 80-100 questions.

Prepaguy23 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Mine was open note for biochem but I chose not to use notes, I genuinely wanted to learn the material and master it. I have friends at programs I applied to and they said to not skimp out on biochem material, so I chose to learn it in full! Hope that helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did it go taking both of these classes at the same time? Do you feel like it would be manageable with a full time job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
