two courses in one session?

[NYCBlues]

Hi all! Please advise me if you had been through this. Thanks!

I am planning to take two classes (bio I and orgo I) in one session this summer. My advisor has advised me against taking both of them at the same time. For those of you who have taken two courses concurrently, do you think it's a good idea?

I am a bio major and I have taken upper level bio courses. I screwed up in my freshman yr and got a D in general bio I, but I have gotten decent grades in the upper level courses. Therefore I think I can handle the general bio course without any problem. But still, do you think it's a good idea to take both since I heard orgo is pretty hard.

bad idea my friend,
remember you're not taking classes to fulfill your pre-reqs only...

you want to learn the concepts b/c you'll see them again on the OAT!!

you'll regret cutting corners

I think it?s not that bad if that if that?s the only thing you?ll be doing this summer. It may seem tough, but it?s not really impossible .

Yeah..organic chem is pretty hard.. but if you have a good memory and can memorize all those mechanisms..then u'll do fine ( hmm.btw.. I dunno if it's the same in Canada and US..)
