A&P

I will be in the last developmental math and lifespan development in the Fall. Should I take A&P 1 too or should that be taken by itself? Do I need biology before A&P? It's not a requirement for my school but will it be easier? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I wouldn't bother taking bio first unless you really want to. Some things in A&P were easier because I'd learned them in other bio classes, but I still had to struggle to learn them the first time, so I'm not sure there's a real benefit there.

You should be fine with that schedule, I'd think. While I understand that people suggest taking certain classes alone to help secure higher grades, odds are you'll be taking more than one class at a time in NS...might as well learn juggling skills now! In moderation, of course. If you don't work full time, you should have more than e ouch time to fit in studying for those three classes.

Human Development is fairly easy. It talks about development from conception until old age. I am taking it right now as an online course. I am on target for an A in the class. We have less than 2 weeks left in the course. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm planning on taking these two classes online with the Lab for A&P 2 on campus.

I am currently taking A&P1 and Intro to Statistics over the summer. Both classes are 5 weeks long and extremely fast paced, but doable. The last science class I took was 7 years ago. It doesn't matter that you are not taking biology first. The stuff will all blend into each other eventually anyway.

If you have the chance to take A&P alone, I would. If taking it alone will hold you up or delay you from graduating (or whatever your goal is) I would take it with the other classes. But in a perfect world? I personally would take it alone just to get a grasp of it. I'm taking it with other classes now, and feel like I could probably get more from it, if my attention wasn't spent in other classes. A&P is just a great foundation to have. I would hate for someone to get a C when they could have got an A, if they only focused on one class. Then again, some people are amazing. I'm not.

I say no to bio before A&P. As far as can you handle the two classes together? I took micro and A&P together and got A's in both. I also have 3 kids. Now I was studying my booty off early in the morning and most weekends, but I did it and I'm glad it's over.
