<p>Hello,</p>
<p>For one reason or another, I have reached a dilemma that has caused me to seriously consider taking Biology 1A/AL and Biology 1B together in the same semester.</p>
<p>Lets assume I am not taking more than 15/16 units total in the proposed semester.</p>
<p>Since each biology class is not a prerequisite of the other, I could do this theoretically (to the best of my knowledge).</p>
<p>Has anybody done this before? </p>
<p>Does anyone have any input/advice to help me gain a better perspective on what it is I am considering here?</p>
<p>Thank you all for your help.</p>
<p>it’s actually not TOO bad since bio 1b isnt bad… bio 1a/1al should be considered as two science classes though… so its like taking 3 science classes at once, meaning basically all your other units should be easy</p>
<p>Not sure if allowed. Both fall in the same exam group.</p>
<p>calbear2012 makes a very good point. For both Spring 2011 and Fall 2011, Bio 1A and Bio 1B have been scheduled as being at the same time (with the same final exam group). Unless this changes, they seemingly cannot be taken simultaneously.</p>
<p>you could shoot an email off to the coordinators to explain your situation see if one can let you re-schedule the final.</p>
<p>i think it’s doable if you take super-easy classes for the rest of your units.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replys everyone.</p>
<p>Even if I were able to reschedule the final exams, the lectures are scheduled at the exact same times. </p>
<p>It is almost as if the biology department is trying to condone people who are even thinking of attempting this.</p>
<p>However, I will still try to make it work.</p>
<p>you can webcast either lecture and go to the other one. Or sleep in and watch both on webcast. But yeah, you’re going to need to reschedule the final exams. I don’t think its to hard. The killer is 1AL, but the material doesn’t overlap so you won’t need to know something from the other class.</p>
<p>It seems as though that my only option is to webcast one and attend the other. </p>
<p>However, it appears to be a great risk if there are any technical issues involving the webcast itself. </p>
<p>What is the average turn around time after a lecture is completed for the webcast to be published?</p>
<p>How common is it to have a lecture not webcast/available due to some extenuating technical circumstance ect.?</p>
<p>Thanks again everyone.</p>
<p>turn around time is fast, you don’t have to worry about that.</p>
<p>sometimes you’ll get technical difficulties and ten minutes will be cut off or something, but you can always look back in previous years for the same material.</p>
