<p>I have to choose between ap bio and ap environmental for senior year. i want to take both, but they don't fit into my schedule...which one do you think is better and why?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Bio</p>

<p>More useful, interesting, and in depth.</p>

3

<p>bump....??</p>

4

<p>how hard are you willing to work</p>

5

<p>I'd say Bio... For purposes of getting college credit, you're more likely to get credit with bio. Plus, it's a class every (most) college students have to take.</p>

<p>Take Bio for sure. </p>

<p>Environmental classes are a cakewalk. The only difficult thing about them is staying awake during the boring lectures</p>

<p>Haha, I'm taking the class now, and totally agree.</p>

<p>To make matters worse I have the class first period. I have never fallen asleep in a class more than I have in that one. Soooooooo boring.</p>

<p>Take bio and then self-study for the environmental science, there is a lot of overlap in my opinion</p>

<p>What littlemickey said is 100% true. I dont even know why I took ES. It's just the easy parts of Biology, which is pretty easy in and of itself.</p>

<p>Hm. Well I'd say its more dependent on the teacher. Research the APES and APbio teachers at your school, what do your peers say about them?</p>

<p>Self-study for Environmental Science. </p>

<p>Trust me though, Environmental Science in college -- if you go to the right school -- is NOT this easy though.</p>

<p>I'm a first year currently struggling with the empirical atmospheric physics differential equations we have to plug in for a 1 credit lab .... not even organic chemistry approaches the tediousness that is EVSC 350L at UVA.</p>

<p>Luckily, the differential equations are solved for us, but that doesn't make it any less tedious to input all these atmospheric variables into our calculations. Thanks to Environmental Science, I'm learning the finer points about albedo, blackbody radiation and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, Boltzmann distributions and all this stuff that was never covered in AP Physics C.</p>

<p>thanks everyone!! i just talked to my counselor today and i'm going to take bio :)</p>
