I'm wondering how I can avoid taking 2 science classes at once. I was told to never take more than one science course in the same semester because it will be too confusing. But it looks like if I don't take 2 science courses in each semester I will be far behind. Has anyone ever taken two science courses at a time?

Are you working? Do you have a lot of responsibilities outside of school? If not, you should be able to handle 2 sciences classes in 1 semester just fine. If I were you, I would knock out those classes in 2 semesters. If youre still unsure- summer classes are always a great option.

I would highly suggest not to take a summer course of any of those science classes during summer, unless you are very sure you can handle it. It is a lot of information to cram in such a short amount of time. I took my anatomy class in summer and dropped out. That following fall semester i doubled up on science courses (not taking any other courses) and passed both anatomy and microbiology with A's. I understood the material much better and am grateful. Its still a of work and studying but totally doable. Just make sure you give your time to study so responsibilities and work must be not overwhelming.

Hello,

I too wouldn't do two science classes simultaneously in the summer, but in a regular semester it should be just fine.

Cheers !
