I got accepted for the Fall 2012. Can anyone tell me how the book you study for P1 like? Are the books available as ebook? Or are they all heavy books that you have to carry around all day? And what is the class schedule for P1? Are the classes start at 8AM everyday? If you miss the class, is there a recorded lecture that you can listen to? Thanks
Hi How are you? Yes some of the books are available as ebooks. You can go onto the FSOP website to take a look at the current P1 block schedule to get a feel as to what your schedule will be. One thing about the schedule, wherever you see SI, those are not classes. It is supplemental instruction for the students that are "invited" to go by the instructor. Also for lab, you will have lab twice a week from 2-5. There are 2 classes that have labs. You will have 1 on one day and then the other. I rarely stayed till 5 for labs though. Classes for P1's are pretty early but you won't have problems finding parking. It's really not that bad. We do have lecture capture but you should not rely on that cause sometimes lectures don't get recorded. You pretty much have to come to class everyday, unless you have a good reason not to. In that case you should let your instructor know that you won't be there. even though there are about 104 of you, your teacher will notice if you are missing multiple days. It's really up to you if you want to actually bring your books to class. I tend to bring mine cause I follow the lecture using the book. Also when you do groupwork it helps if people have their book especially for A & P and Micro. You don't have to carry them all day cause you are in one classroom all day so there is no need to move them. lol. Hope this helps. Good luck
