I'm thinking about what to take next semester. Right now I'm taking AandP, and not working or doing much but studying. Next semester I'll be getting a job, so less time to study. But I am DREADING chemistry. What do yall think? Take dreaded chem or study crazy AandP 2?

I just had a thought...maybe I'll take chemistry in the summer to get it over with ASAP? Would that be a good idea or would my lagging math skills make it harder?

I wouldn't worry about math skills too much. Intro to Chem is somewhat like math but of a different kind. You will learn the formulas as you go along, it deals with moles and conversions, and balancing chemical equations. You might want to familiarize yourself a little with the measurements and the metric system beforehand. I had college algebra 10 years ago ( I don't have a math brain) and made a good grade in Chem last fall. Since both Chem and A&P are hard classes I personally wouldn't take them at the same time.
Good luck

In my opinion both, Intro to Chem and Organic/Bio Chemistry, should be a prereq for A&P1. Maybe not so many students would fail and have to take the courses over.
Just my
