Tennessee course study guides for Memphis, MTSU, ETSU, and TSU

Courses students often find difficult at Tennessee

A "weeder course" is an introductory class that students often find difficult and that may have high withdrawal or failure rates. At Memphis, MTSU, ETSU, and TSU, the courses below have predictable trouble spots, which is why students repeatedly search for "Memphis course help."

BIOL 2010 (Human Anatomy & Physiology I, 15 chapters, ~4 hr on Lorea) is commonly difficult because of specific skills: Tonicity (direction of water movement) in Unit 1; epithelial tissue classification (shape x layers); sheer volume of bone markings and foramina in Unit 2 - the strongest case for spaced repetition; sliding filament sequence and muscle origins/insertions in Unit 3; action potential phases mapped to ion channel states and the 12 cranial nerves in Unit 4.

BIOL 2020 (Human Anatomy & Physiology II, 13 chapters, ~3 hr 30 min on Lorea) is commonly difficult because of specific skills: Cardiac conduction sequence and the ECG trace; blood vessel pathways memorisation; nephron function and filtration/reabsorption direction; acid-base compensation (respiratory vs metabolic); endocrine axis feedback loops.

CHEM 1110 (General Chemistry I, 11 chapters, ~3 hr 15 min on Lorea) is commonly difficult because of specific skills: Stoichiometry and limiting reagent (Ch 4) is the single biggest failure point; then VSEPR molecular geometry (Ch 7); unit conversion and significant figures trip students in week 1; gas law problem setup (Ch 9).

How the Tennessee term is structured

These campuses run a standard 16-week semester. Labs and discussion sections sit beside lecture, so the weeder is not "the class is long" - it is that BIOL 2010 and its siblings examine setup, not rereading. Plan weekly retrieval across 16 weeks, then use the free Lorea course for a timed pass.

Tennessee's shared numbers put BIOL 2010, BIOL 2020, and CHEM 1110 on the books at Memphis, MTSU, ETSU, and Tennessee State. The weeder is the content, not a campus-specific nickname.

Prerequisite chains that matter

BIOL 2010 is the prerequisite chain into BIOL 2020. Do not start the second course until tonicity, cells, or first-term stoichiometry (whichever this pair uses) can come out of your hand without the slides.

What does "weeder course" mean at Tennessee?

A weeder course is an introductory class known for high difficulty, withdrawal, or failure rates. On this hub, those commonly difficult courses are BIOL 2010, BIOL 2020, and CHEM 1110. BIOL 2010 is especially difficult because of Tonicity (direction of water movement) in Unit 1. BIOL 2020 is especially difficult because of Cardiac conduction sequence and the ECG trace. CHEM 1110 is especially difficult because of Stoichiometry and limiting reagent (Ch 4) is the single biggest failure point.

Is Tennessee on semesters or quarters?

Tennessee runs a 16-week semester for these intro codes. That calendar is 16 weeks of teaching time. The Lorea study guides are timed to chapter count and subject, not to sitting the whole 16-week semester in one sitting.

How long do the Tennessee Lorea study guides take?

BIOL 2010 is 15 chapters and About 4 hours on Lorea. BIOL 2020 is 13 chapters and About 3 hours 30 min on Lorea. CHEM 1110 is 11 chapters and About 3 hours 15 min on Lorea.

What textbook do these Tennessee study guides follow?

BIOL 2010, BIOL 2020, and CHEM 1110 on this hub follow Anatomy & Physiology 2e (OpenStax); Chemistry 2e (OpenStax). Your section may assign a commercial book; the chapter titles on each study guide are the OpenStax sequence.
