Advise needed
Hi guys,

I'm a confused if I should drop a course or not.....it's a Bio course that requires critical thinking and I am struggling with that. I wrote my first midterm and did okay but I'm worried it might get worse/harder.
Also, in order to do well I have to put in a lot of effort and that takes away time from my other 4 courses (which I am doing well in).
Also, if I drop it then I have to take 6 courses next term.
Any advise is greatly appreciated!!!



Thanks in advance

Critical thinking is basically the most important skill you can develop in University courses... So if there are other classes that rely on your memorization, and you're putting a priority on those, then you should probably readjust how you allot your time, and keep on plugging away at the critical thinking course...

Biology is just memorization xD. Just memorize how to critical think.

My advice is to spell advice properly. I may have just saved you a half mark on your next essay for a spelling error so... your welcome
