Do we need physiology lab?

[thenextcarnegie]

I know some schools require physiology. ATSU for example does in both schools, I am taking the current physio lab and its just way to time consuming. Do you guys suggest I take it or just drop it and refund some of the money back? My physiology course is 3 credits. Thoughts, suggestions?

If the schools you want to apply to require physiology lab then keep it, if not, drop it. I had a computer based lab for physio and it was a waste.

I know some dental schools prefer/require for applicants to take the labs that coincide with the lecture hour. See the requirements for the dental schools you're interested in. If you haven't yet assembled an idea of where you would like to attend, I would consider keeping it just to play it safe should one of your picks prefer/require you to take labs.

If it is taking up more of your time than the lecture + study time, it'd be economical to drop it. If dropping the lab will guarantee you receiving a higher grade in the lecture, should consider dropping. If you don't think it'd make that drastic of a punch to your lecture grade, should consider fighting through it.

In the long run, it is only worth 1 credit compared to your 3 credit hour lecture.

It's computer based, I am learning nothing.

In the long run it could hurt my GPA which I can't risk at this point, so I feel as if I drop won't hurt. Thanks guys for the advice. I haven't seen many schools with a physiology lab requirement. The only thing I've seen thus far is just physio class because my anatomy has a lab built into it already, which generally satisfies any requirement.
