<p>I've never taken Physics, and I haven't taken a Calc course in two years (now a sophomore) and I've forgotten practically everything (simple limits, derivatives, etc). Should I just drop it, go over Calc on my own, and take it next semester? The only concern is that I'm taking Chem/Bio right now, so next semester, I'd have three lab classes (although, these would be the only 3 classes I had next semester). Is it worth it?</p>
<p>If you’re only taking three labs next semester, take Physics later. Three labs is super easy if you have any time management skills.</p>
<p>I’m assuming since you’re taking Physics along with Bio/Chem that you’re a science major of some sort and are required to take calc-based Physics. If you’re not required to have the calculus-based version, then take the less difficult algebra-based sequence instead. Otherwise, you need to brush up on your calculus and take it next semester. If you’re a science major, 3 science classes/labs isn’t too much as long as you stay on top of things.</p>
<p>Just drop and take in your next year. Frankly you could review the calc you need in 1 hour (derivative/integration rules and how to take a definite integral). But from reading your post I can tell you’re overwhelmed by your schedule and are just looking for a reason to get rid of your physics class. You don’t need a reason, just do it.</p>
<p>get a tutor…might be most cost effective if you end up passing
(im assuming you will lose 100% of the money you paid per credit for physics+lab)</p>
<p>but i dont know really if your using the calculus part as the excuse…or if even with mastery of calc will you still struggle…idk</p>
