<p>does anyone know if it would be fine/wise to take 276 before 252 with only a bio 101 background?</p>
<p>i only have to take one of the two and 276 fits my schedule better.</p>
<p>BIOL 252 (Anatomy & Physiology) is generally seen as being “better” to take than 276 (Vertebrate Anatomy) if you have to pick between the two. BIOL 252 is really intense, and people usually think the class is harder than the lab (although Dr. Johnson now writes the lab exams, not the TAs, so the lab is also challenging in my book). Anatomy is a TON of information. 276 has an easier class, but the lab is supposed to be a complete b*tch. If I had to spend my time taking one of the classes, I would pick 252 because it is just more relevant to human life, imo. I got credit for BIOL 101 from the AP exam, so I had zero biology experience before I took 252 (no big deal).</p>
