Non Trad need to take physics

[NP LV]

Members don't see this ad.

So with everything pretty much moving online. Any recommendations for Physics I online/possibly O Chem I-online. I will be finishing up precalc II this semester, and will start Calc 1 at end of May in time for summer classes. My local schools are full , and I don't want to sit around for the summer with no school. I will check with my respective schools to see if these programs will be accepted.

Thanks

You can check out extension schools: Harvard, UCLA, etc.

Here is my advice from the perspective of an educator:

There are several schools that offer online Physics 1 and Organic Chemistry 1 during the summer.

Be aware that calculus 1 may take a bit more time that you expect, so plan accordingly.

You do not need to take calculus-based physics unless you want to. The algebra/trig based physics 1 and 2 is sufficient for medical schools.

Even if you do not officially enroll in a course during the summer, there is still plenty to do. I would strongly recommend pre-studying the material and perhaps doing some volunteering/shadowing (if possible).

Drop Calculus. You don't need it for [most] medical schools. Take algebra-based physics as it is much easier and entirely sufficient for medical school. University of New England has all pre-req courses available online and they are self-paced so you can rip through them and enroll anytime.

With University of New England, you will be paying top $$ as a good chunk of your tuition goes to advertising. You are paying for their brand name. There are other options available that offer the same education, but at a much lower price. Think value.

I would not recommend UNE because it is a well known online program. I would take physics at a local CC or university even if instruction is delivered online.

I have looked over the syllabi of several UNE courses and I have tutored students taking courses from UNE. They are good courses, but the same knowledge and instruction can be found elsewhere for much less $$.

There are also issues with accreditation as some online schools use mainly adjunct faculty.

I don't know that you're paying top dollar. It's much cheaper than a university course and the benefit of these courses are that they are available on demand and they are self-paced. I wouldn't take EVERY pre-req online but a couple would be fine and UNE worked very well for me 🙂

I am glad the courses worked for you. Because the courses are self-paced, a student will not be able to use federal financial aid to pay for the course.
