RE: [HAPS-L] A&P dual enrollment

Before I read anyone else's reply, I would agree with you - every
semester I have students who say that got an A in hs A&P and are not
passing my class.  I don't think hs courses get the job done, and do not
merit college credit.  Doesn't mean they couldn't do so, just that in my
experience they do not.

Subject: [HAPS-L] A&P dual enrollment

Is there a HAPS position on dual enrollment (high school students
enrolled in college classes)?  High schools in our area would like to
teach A&P at the high schools and award those high school students
college credit for taking A&P.  

My personal opinion is that high school students have not developed the
neural connections necessary to perform well in second-year science
(unless of course the content is watered down to the high school level).
I've had high school students attempt A&P and rarely are they
successful.
