I know it's a long shot to ask this, but I wanted to try seeing if anyone has been in a similar situation. I'm a bit divided right now.
I've currently been involved in a research lab and intend to stay on for the fall and spring. I would really like to be able to take a statistic course so I can better understand the analyses in the results of papers I've been reading. However, I really want to take calculus as well since I had some experience in high school and liked the thinking behind it.
In terms of my courses, the timeline is not too much of an issue, so I could technically do both stats and two semesters of calculus if I wanted to.However, there are two main concerns I have. One is that waiting until later to take stats might set me back in my research progress (not that I have much experience at the moment...). The other is when exactly to take calc--I'm not sure if having summer between calc 1 and calc 2 would be too much of a gap. Plus I'm also taking physics, so maybe taking calc would line up better with it...just a thought.
Just for reference, here are my other intended courses for fall and spring of this school year. Both semesters would also involve research.
Fall: Physics 2, Human Physiology, Neuro Course (major)
Spring: Biochemistry, Neuro Course (major), Lit Course (gen ed), Physics 2 lab
Long story short, does anyone have any suggestions based on what I have lined up?
