How To Pass Business Calculus & General Zoology ?

[BellaEXE]

I'm a concurrent student who has been given pretty much free reign to take any classes I want. Luckily this has allowed me to finish this school year with 29 college credits and a ton of classes out of the way for the college I've been accepted too. I will only end up taking the minimum 12 hour credit requirement and this will still allow me to graduate in 4 years with a little less stress.

The courses I take next semester will be the hardest ones yet. General zoology which will transfer as a required biology class and then business calculus which is required for a biology major. I'm unsure what to expect out of the general zoology with lab course or what to expect out of how intense the course will be. Calculus will probably be the most intense course of next semester that I am very stressed for. I had the same professor for my last semester college algebra course and she has continuously told me to stop stressing because I have such a high grade in the algebra class that I will probably not struggle with it.

Basically have no clue what to expect, so what should I expect? The other courses are basically blow off courses (Art Appreciation and Psychology)

This is probably the most specific question to ever be asked on SDN. I can't answer it, but there should be an award or something

The best advice requires a lot of circumstantial details lol

It’s business calc, which means it is probably going to be a pretty applied math version of calculus which is typically a bit easier. You will probably just have some basic derivatives and then a bunch of optimization problems. You might not even touch integrals.

Honestly the best two resources for calculus are 3Blue1Brown’s YouTube playlist “essence of calculus” here:

Also Paul’s Online Math Notes is great for explanations and practice problems: Calculus I

Can’t help you with zoology, sorry.

Awesome thank you! The professor told me it would be very heavy on algebra concepts

Any help little or large helps a lot! Thank you!

As an aside, taking 12 credits per semester in college will be considered a light load and will be held against you when your GPA is compared with the exact same GPA of someone who took 17 credits/semester. Just an FYI.
