<p>ok i will be a junior in the fall and i have to take 2 sciences with one being a lab. Im currently enrolled in Biology and the lab for the fall. And i was wondering which science would be easier between Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Nutrition and Geology?</p>
<p>and also what science would be easier to take as one of my lab sciences'?</p>
<p>I’m going to assume that these courses you listed are the ones for non-science majors (so geology wouldn’t be heavily chem based, chem and physics not heavily calculus based, etc). I took a Nutrition class and it didn’t have a lab but it was pretty easy. After that, Geology is probably easiest.</p>
<p>I’m a biochem major and the easiest class in our major is General Chem which is pretty basic so I would try that. The labs are pretty straightforward too.</p>
<p>Intro bio class</p>
<p>Nutrition and Geology.</p>
<p>
I would guess the intro bio class would be the hardest of the bunch to do well in - I remember back in intro bio, there was a ridiculous amount of material on each exam and it was curved so half the class was guaranteed sucky grades in the C/D/F range to weed people out. In comparison, intro chem courses are pretty straightforward with basic math, and physics classes for non-science majors are always easy because you can’t really understand physics without higher level math which isn’t present in those courses.</p>
<p>So Nutrition and Geology. Chances are the labs in all these will be boring but easy too.</p>
<p>Ask someone at your school. I’d imagine it’d be Nutrition or Geology. No way is it going to be Physics. But this would be different at every school.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies…well looks like ill have to stick wit bio since nutrition and geology are full. i should be ok because the teacher i signed up for seems pretty easy</p>
<p>also would you all recommend getting the same teacher for biology and biology lab?</p>
<p>@pinkstrawberry yes these are intro level science courses that i have to take even tho im an accounting major</p>
<p>Nutrition. Geology seems like a lot of boring memorization and a subject that you really gotta be interested in to enjoy. Whereas even a basic nutrition course you can easily apply to everyday life.</p>
<p>I’m an accounting major, too. I took bio, chem and physics in college, and for me physics was easiest–but it was calculus based so I’m not sure about the geometry/trig version. It’s somewhat similar to the kind of thinking you do in accting classes–mostly concepts with a bit of math intertwined.</p>
<p>Otherwise, do biology (of those 3). Chem is quite a bit of work, even though it’s not particularly difficult. It’ll take time away from things you actually are interested in. And chem labs are very cumbersome. Intro physics labs are very easy in comparison, at least at UW</p>
<p>wouldn’t anthropology classes count as a science? if not go with nutrition and geonology</p>
<p>Check and see if they offer Environmental Science as a biological science credit. It’s offered in my school and it’s cake! Plus, there’s a lot of relevant information you’ll learn as well as easy access to research material. There’s a ton of information out there! </p>
<p>EVERYONE has gone “green”!</p>
<p>Some anthropology classes are considered a science, at least at my school that is how it is.</p>
<p>yea anthropology is considered a science at my school as well i forgot to mention that was well. Also Geography and grantetology (or however you spell it too lazy to look lol)</p>
<p>how easy is environmental/earth systems?</p>
<p>environmental science</p>
<p>It all depends on your school. Chem can be easy at one school, but it’s considered one of the hardest classes at mine. Environmental science could be made easy or it could be difficult. Also depends on how you treat the class. Go to every lecture/do all the work = hard, but if you slack off of course it’ll be made easy.</p>
<p>Stick with a science that interests you the most, otherwise you’ll end up wanting to kill yourself at the end of the semester.</p>
<p>I think it depends on where your skills are. I am really good at science as long as there aren’t too many equations-- so for me, geography or geology classes are very doable, intro level biology is very doable at SOME schools but not others, very early chem is possible but a stretch, and I’d rule out just about everything else. If I were good at math but bad at the analytical reasoning required for science it may be exactly the other way around.</p>
<p>The question you are asking is very subjective. What one person considers a hard major another might sail through the classes with As and Bs. Also, some schools have really good chemistry department and a horrible biology department and vice-versa. You should talk you your academic advisor if you are having a hard time choosing classes/majors because they can point you in the right direction. It also might help to talk to other kids at your school who have the majors you are interested in.</p>
<p>Umm im not a science major, im an accounting major. I just have to take two science classes with one being a lab</p>
<p>A hundred years ago, I took metalurgy and in the lab we made cool metal key chains. OOOoooh. I also burned a rather large hole in the front of my sweater.</p>
<p>I also took botany and meteorology.</p>
