Hello,
I have a question mainly geared towards current students, but all opinions are welcome.
I have taken a core Public Health course, and have the option of waiving the requirement. (This is not a credit transfer, but a waiver, i.e. I will still have to take another course to make up for the credit).
I am fairly proficient with this subject and it is fresh in my head, so one of the benefits that I anticipate with re-taking, would be an easier workload in my first term.
A negative to this would be any missed opportunities to take another course that interests me.
Keep in mind that my focus is to do really well GPA-wise, with the hopes of continuing on with a doctorate.
So, do you have any advice as to whether I should waive the course, or take it "again"? Will re-taking this course equate to an easier workload, or would I be better off taking an elective that I am interested in (and possibly less academically-intense since it is not a core course)?
