Chem 153A and 153L - consecutive or no?

<p>Planning out my schedule for next year, and was just wondering: is it absolutely necessary to take chem 153A and 153L back to back? I'm enrolled in 153A for fall, taking other stuff winter, and then planning on 153L in spring. Good/ bad plan in your guys' experience?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance :]</p>
