Hey guys. I just wanted to introduce myself to SDN and ask for your advice in choosing my biology courses.
As a music major, I'll only have time to complete three terms of biology plus one term of biochemistry. The typical two-term intro bio sequence at my school is broken up into molecular, cellular, & developmental topics for the first term and evolutionary & ecological topics in the spring term. I'm definitely taking the fall term intro class as well as a cell bio elective that is supposed to be well-taught.
The question is whether to take the evolution/ecology spring term bio (complete with a interesting field exploration/classification lab) or apply for the reproductive bio lecture with a frog dissection lab instead.
Part of me wants to have a solid foundation in ecology and evolution and knows that I will learn enough about developmental biology in medical school, but the developmental class and lab are supposed to be a lot of fun and have a great curve as well.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
