Question for current/past WesternU students:
If you took ISAC, did you feel like it was a good investment? I've emailed Kuehn awhile back and he said that he has me on the list, but now I'm wondering if I should actually take the course. Is ISAC really worth paying an extra 7 weeks worth of tuition for? I'm not sure what that comes out to be because they said they'd send us the paperwork for it around April... but I'll just guesstimate it to be around 10k or something (correct me if I'm wrong...)? Tuition for this school is already pretty ridiculously high, so I don't really want to add on any unnecessary debt if I don't have to. Do you guys feel that the edge that ISAC provided you or people you know outweighs the financial cost of the program? Just looking for some input before I descide whether or not to actually do it. Thanks!
Either things have changed, or my memory is faulty; but I don't recall having to pay extra for ISAC.
I loved the course! If I did pay extra, it was worth it. It was a great opportunity to have undistracted access to human anatomy for a summer. TAing in the fall was great as well.
To the other person who lamented the lack of a human anatomy background: I did not take anatomy (human or animal) in college and was accepted into the program. I'd send Kuehn an email and at least be put on his list.
-You said you had an extensive knowledge of zoological anatomy. It would definitely be worth mentioning that to Kuehn. Although you wouldn't be relearning the exact structures from undergrad as in the case of having taken college human anatomy, I'd think the experience of memorizing structures is similar no matter the species of the cadaver.
