The best choice?

Published

I only have my science classes left to take (anatomy, physiology, and microbiology). I am an A-average student and hope to get a 4.0 in my prerequisite gpa. At this point, I will be finished with all of my classes in the spring of '14, but can possible be done this upcoming fall. I CAN take all of these classes during fall semester, but run the risk of not receiving an A in the end, so I have decided that it might be best to take two this upcoming semester then one in spring. My question- which is the best choice? to take all three in one semester? to break them up?- and if I break them up, which two classes to take in the same semester?

If you were to take a few together, I would suggest Anatomy and Physiology together. (My school doesn't separate these two, it is one class) and then take Micro after

My school offers them separately (as in anatomy for one class and physiology for another) as well as combined, but split into two semesters (a&p1 and a&p2). I'm not sure if taking one of those with micro would be a good idea, or just focusing more on anatomy and physiology then micro for later. I have also heard that microbiology is a little more demanding then anatomy and physiology?

At my college you have to take A&P 1 before you can take A&P 2. I took A&P 1 during the spring semester. Micro and A&P 2 in the summer semester. Micro was 5 weeks, then A&P 2 was the following 5 weeks.

My school requires A & P 1 then 2. I know many people who succesfully took 1 with microbiology & 2 by itself. I would do that sequence.

yes that is how my school is. If I go the a&p combined route, I will be required to finish a&p 1 before taking 2. I have heard mixed responses on taking anatomy and physiology separate, as opposed to taking the combined class.
