<p>So, I need another science class and I was wondering if anyone has taken a nutrition class before. What should I expect? I've had biology, but nutrition? Is this going to be like health class?</p>
<p>I'm trying to keep the workload down as much as possible. My school requires that liberal arts students complete 18 hours of science. So, this is just one of many and I'm almost finished with my hard sciences. I thought about geology, but then thought again because of the chemistry and physics that must be involved. Everyone that doesn't want to take science takes geology and I think they regret it. They aren't offering any dinosaur courses this spring or I would be all over that.</p>
<p>At the end of this [my third] semester, I'll have had 22 credits of science:
Physics (Mechanics) [3]
Physics (Electricity and Magnetism) [3]
Principles of Modern Biology with Lab [4]
Materials Science and Solid State Chemistry with Lab [4]
Immunology [4]
Human Molecular Genetics in the Age of Genomics [4]</p>
<p>I've enjoyed all of those classes. Of course, none of them are good ways to avoid having to do a lot of work. Then again, easy classes seem to be always filled with busywork. I would rather take something that is actually challenging and get something out of the work that I do. </p>
<p>As far as nutrition goes, I think it's pretty clear what it's going to be like: a study of what things your body needs to be healthy and how foods supply those things.</p>
<p>Well...I'm biased because I'm a geologist...but I think geology classes are really essential for all students be exposed to, it really gives you a new perspective on the earth and my intro class made me change to geology!</p>
<p>Can you tell me more about what a class called "Earth, Wind, and Fire" would be about? okay, don't point out the obvious: Earth, Wind, and Fire, but what would I be in for? It's for nonscience majors, but science classes in my school are really tough. Do you think that I would be okay to take that class if I never had any physics or chemistry? There was also a class called Climates: Then, Now, and Tomorrow</p>
<p>Can't tell you much about specific classes without a course description...they vary widely between schools, especially the non-major classes...</p>
<p>If there are no pre-reqs, they should be ok to take without college-level science classes...geology classes only typically get prereqs of other sciences starting with mineralogy.</p>
<p>The course schedule didn't really go into any detail.</p>
<p>Your school doesn't have a course catalog?</p>
<p>You could contact the teacher, or students who have already taken the class.</p>
<p>I go to the University of Texas and they put it all online this semester. For some classes it just doesn't really say unless I'm missing something...</p>
<p>I'd hate to email a professor with a question like this, but it looks like I might have to.</p>
<p>I would ask some fellow students first to make sure you aren't missing something.</p>
<p>Yeah, if the class is being offered currently, I'd check out facebook and contact people that seem down to earth taking the class right now...</p>
