I do NOT recommend taking this class! As of right now, it is not even required for nursing majors. Your advisor has been told to make it sound like it is required because they want you to take it, but it actually isn't. For me, it was a waste of time.
Like most introduction classes, this class was a weed-out class. It is taught by the Dean of nursing. She is a very intelligent woman who knows what she is talking about. But she is strict. And she grades hard. This class follows the grading scale used in nursing school. Meaning that in order to get an A, you must have a %91+ instead of a %90 +.
The class is only based on 300 points. So you must keep up with everything. If you do poorly on something, it is very hard to pull your grade back up. One-third of the class is based on five online quizes. The other third is based on random projects. And the last third is based on a cumulative final with 50 multiple choice questions. The hardest part of the class was probably the APA paper which was worth 50 points. I am almost sure that not a single person in the class got a 100% on it. She graded them very hard. So just do everything that she tells you to do for the paper.
Although I have given a negative opinion of the class, it did have a few redeeming factors. Obviously, I survived with an A. If you work hard, you can do well. Writing the APA paper seemed like torture, but I did learn a lot about APA papers, which has already been extremely helpful for my other classes related to nursing. Dr. Bennett tries to give you a good taste of what nursing is going to be like. And she does a good job of it. She is a nice lady, so try to get to know her. Show up to class, pay attention, take notes, study for the quizzes, and the final, and follow all of the directions for the paper, and you will be just fine. But try to avoid this class if possible. :]
