<p>i'll be a sophomore in fall, and here are my proposed schedules:</p>
<h1>1: bio 1b, chem 3b/3bl, physics 8a, and some easy class</h1>
<h1>2: bio 1a, physics 8a, math 53, and maybe some easy class</h1>
<p>as you can see, i've never taken bio before, but i've heard nightmarish stories about taking bio 1b in the fall, so i'm not sure which one is the better route. i figured i'd take bio 1b and chem 3b/3bl together since chem is difficult and bio 1a/chem 3b doesn't sound like a pleasing combination.</p>
<p>so, i'd reallly, really appreciate any suggestions, thanks!</p>
<h1>2 would get you better professors and coincidentally better grades</h1>
<p>Bio 1B has a higher average GPA in springs and Bio 1A gives out a few more A's in fall.
Pedersen teaches Chem 3B in spring semesters and Vollhardt teaches it in fall semesters. Most people (but not necessarily all) I know like Pedersen and hate Vollhardt; I don't know their differences gradewise.</p>
<p>My "better professors" remark is not to be applied to physics or math</p>
