<p>How difficult are these course? Which one is easier: 125 vs. 118, 208 vs. 218. What is the median grade in these?</p>
<p>What's your major?
Because 118 and 218 are for business majors...I don't know if other majors would take those classes (and 118 and 208 can't be used for major credit)</p>
<p>125 is calculus for engineering and math majors. i think you can take it in lieu of 118, but i'm fairly confident that 125 is a bit harder in that it's much more conceptual and general. my roommate had 118, and the hardest thing was just figuring out what the words meant in all the business applications problems (which is most of them were)...that got pretty easy once you got a hang of it. the "applications" in 125 may involve programming in MATLAB, or taking generalized equations and using it for all sorts of applications, including not just business but especially physics, chemistry, etc.</p>
<p>I have taken 125. It is for engineering students. curve about a B</p>
<p>which class do bio majors take?</p>
<p>I have been admitted into Marshall. But I am trying to decide between doing business with biotech minor or Bio. Sc. with biotech minor. These courses are interchangeable in the requirement.</p>
<p>bio majors also take math 125. It's really more calculus for scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, than for engineers alone. (though don't be scared, there really aren't that many math majors)</p>
<p>It used to be that certain sections of math 125 were closed to only engineering majors, but I don't know if they still do stuff like that. </p>
<p>Also, some engineering professors teach math courses including math 125.</p>
<p>edit: note that calculus is a pre-med requirement, and while other courses may satisfy the bio major requirement, be sure that whatever calc course you take satisfies the pre-med requirement as well</p>
<p>edit2: actually I don't know what the requirements are. All I know is my friend who's bio and premed took math 125. So i could be making all this stuff up.</p>
