Hi,
My dd is wanting to study this course....she has to now, as she asked me to purchase the text and answer key:glare:
I gather Potter's School offers this course. Does anyone else?
Thanks,
Heather

Sorry, not a direct answer to your question, but let me tell you how pleased I've been with the Potter's School course. It's taught by a nurse, and she brings in a lot of extra material, and also makes the lectures interesting. My son is enjoying the course.

It is, however, a lot of work, and I think it's probably a good college prep course because of her high standards, especially with the lab reports. It's been good for my son to have testable material only available by listening to the lecture and taking good notes.

My eldest daughter took this Potter's School class last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. The teacher is excellent and does bring in quite a bit of additional information, especially related to how what they are learning applies to the medical field. Because of this, it's a great class for someone wanting to go into a medical profession (my dd wants to be a nurse).

The class is quite rigorous but manageable and fair. Total thumbs up here!

who use this textbook and offer the course on-line? The Potter's School course sounds great. My only reservation is that my dd will also be doing Apologia Chemistry at the same time, and I am concerned about overloading her, as I know that TPS courses are quiet demanding.
Thanks,
Heather

It is my understanding that Apologia recommends that a student completes Chemistry prior to doing the Anatomy and Physiology course. I'm working through the A & P book with my daughter (excellent material!) and we're finding that an understanding of Chemistry is necessary for many (not all) of the modules. I can't imagine a student trying to do both at the same time!
