How would you divide these pre-requisites up?

Published

I have only 3 classes to take and I'd like to get done with them by August 2016.

They are :

Microbiology

Cell biology(or Chemistry)

Anthropology + Physiology

Or Anthropology

And Physiology (separate)

I've got a kid due in the first semester.

Anatomy and Physiology...? I would do chemistry and A&P spring semester and microbiology summer semester

Any particular reason?

Because at my school, chemistry comes before A&P and both classes come before microbiology. And I figure there's a valid reason for that.

Chem is a pre-req before you're allowed to take Micro. If you can handle Anatomy and Chemistry in 1 semester, then Micro in another

I would schedule based on your support once you have your child. For me, I would have rather have done the more difficult classes pregnant and subjects that are easier for me once I had my child. For me, being pregnant was way easier than having a newborn (even with lots of help). The sleepless nights and constant nursing may make your studies harder. If you are good at memorizing take psych or anthro or something like that when you're a mom and save the more difficult studies (physio) for when you're pregnant. Just my 2 cents :) I took Anatomy, Chem and developmental psych with a 6 month old, and pumping all the time, lol and it wasn't so bad :) I couldn't imagine doing that load with her being smaller. Good luck!!

Oh, Chemistry isn't a prereq to micro at some schools (like mine), so double check the prereqs for all classes!

Omg. I'm so sorry! Yes, it is a little different :) my advice would be the same :) take the harder classes when you sig. other is pregnant and save the easier stuff for when the baby is here :) it shouldn't impact you too much to take time off for the birth :) I personally think it'll make your life easier :) congrats! And good luck!
