I'm trying to decide which to take next year to fufill my requirement for sciences (theres also physics and chem but they arent that fun;))
would it be to stressful to take a year of these classes in two months (summer sessions)
I'm currently at virginia tech and found out that theres no way i can take biology 1-2 + labs because of budget restraints but i can take geology.
But bio and geo are offered at school near my home in the summer.

which would you do?

At my school geology in much easier compared to bio, which is funny because we have one of the highest rated geo departments.

I would take biology over geology because I think it sounds more interesting, but personally (given the time and budget) I'd prefer to take both..

intro bio is easy.. intro geology is harder.


however if u take gelogy.. u will start reading synclines and antisynclines and P & S waves etc etc.

botany & zoology can be a bitch.... i should know, im taking botany this sem and getting fscked!

I'm a polisci major coming from CS.

I want to get a lot of business courses to hopefully work in that field since my GPA wasnt high ebough to get into the Business college.

I think i'm looking to take the life science courses at ODU (scool near home) to transfer to VT for bio credits
here's the course desc. from ODU "108N, 109N. Life Science I, II. Lecture 3 hours; laboratory 2 hours; 4 credits each semester. 108N is prerequisite to 109N. An introductory biology course for nonbiology majors. 108N concentrates on major biological concepts concerning molecular biology, cellular biology, cellular reproduction, classical genetics and molecular genetics, energetics and ecology. 109N concentrates at the plant and animal organismic level examining major biological concepts involving diversity, ecology, behavior and evolution." this will be crammed into 2 months
