Prerequisites

I'm sure it's different at each school, but nutrition was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. I really didn't learn a single new thing. That said, I am a bit of a health nut, so I had done extensive research on my own prior to taking the class. YMMV

I think it totally depends on your school, but at my college (like jgardner's) Nutrition was the easiest class I took. As far as your course load goes- that will need to be a personal decision based on you and your work/school/family/social habits.

Best of luck!

I didn't find it to be a hard class. I took it online summer quarter and had to put in very little effort for a good grade. Looking back I wish I'd had to work harder and learn more than I did.

Thank you ! What about microbiology ?

Micro is a tough class for most people, not the toughest, but you need the grades to be great so don't overload yourself.

Micro at my school was hard, but it was less the content and more the workload that was rough. I found the content extremely interesting (lab was even fun!), and it wasn't difficult to learn. Unfortunately, for my class there were 4 group projects/papers and they were extremely difficult. Each one was basically a 15-page paper AND an oral presentation, and I essentially ended up doing it all myself each time. So, 4 of those, on top of tests, quizzes, homework, labs, etc. I have never had to work so hard for an "A" in my life! lol. I learned a lot though, and it prepared me well for nursing school, lol.

If you are working full time I would only take 1 science class a semester if you want A's. I know some people who doubled up on them and managed B's, but I am not aware of anyone who pulled A's while taking both an A&P and micro (and throwing on a full time job, that is too much). I would stick with one science class and one filler class like Lifespan or Public speaking. I am not saying it can't be done, but I don't think I could do it. I managed A's but I did not have to deal with a full time job.

The non science classes are just a pain IMO. I got A's in those, but they do take away time from the harder science classes because you can't just ignore them. While the science classes are more important, it seems silly to me to kill yourself for an A in A&P only to get a C in English 101.

Ok I'm going to just stick with microbiology nutrition and English thanks í ½í¸Š
