What are bio 201 and fon421? Schools abbreviate the names their classes differently.

Assuming you don’t have an excessive time commitment outside of school, I think this is a doable combo. That being said, A&P is a lot and it’s where your comprehension really matters most and if you struggle with science, take it alone.

If you do take them separately, take nutrition after and you’ll breeze through it with the digestive system from A&P under your belt.

As long as you have not over committed yourself elsewhere, these two classes together should be doable.

Thank you so much, yes I have work full-time so I think im going to just stick with Biology and take nutrition in spring.

I'm not sure where you're located, but I'm in AZ and I know it's Bio 201 for A&P and FON 241 for nutrition, for me. I took FON 241 this summer online, it was an accelerated course, only 5 weeks, so it was challenging, but if taking it as a 16 week course, I wouldn't think it would be as challenging. I haven't taken Bio 201 yet, at least not out here. I took anatomy and physiology about 10 years ago. I'm currently taking a 16 week bio 156 course online and finding it way more challenging than I was expecting. A lot of it will depend on what your own strengths and weaknesses are. Also, I just noticed that in one of your replies you said you are working full-time, for me I'm finding that it might be too hard to take more than one class at a time.

@CAMmc yes bio 156 was a bit challenging online, as I took it online as well and managed to get a B. What school are you taking it at? Yes I am just going to be taking bio 201 "A&P" by itself as I don't want to put that kind of stress on myself with to much on my plate. I am just going to take FON241 "nutrition" during spring 2020.

I'm taking Bio 156 at Rio Salado, the 16 week course. I think at this point it will be a miracle if I end up with an A. I started out on a bad note because one of the first labs I didn't have enough time to complete so I only got half the points and then I didn't do so hot on the first major exam. I realized I should have been using the supplemental materials that came with the book to study, but didn't for the 1 st test. I feel like I have a better grasp now, but it's frustrating. I was going to try and take Chem 130 on campus (Mesa) in the fall, but I realized it would be overlapping with Bio still, so I decided to hold off. So now I probably won't end up taking Bio 201 until the summer.
