Biology 1P03 or Grade 12 bio?
I currently have bio 1po3 first term so i can take other bio's but i was thinkin instead of paying hundreds for the course that i take the course through continuing ed prob night school or online. Would taking it at mac teach me more or should I just take it through ce? Also if i did take it through ce, should i take another course or just have a lighter term first term?

If you take it through CE, it won't count towards your degree so you will want to replace it with another course.

I think at this point, you should just take it in university. There's no need to put extra strain on your transition into university. That's my opinion, if you really need to save money then taking it through CE would be better.

If you take it online or through night school, will you finish the course in time to be able to take 1A03 or 1M03 second term?

If you take it through CE, you would be doing it in addition to a full course load at university, which is something else to consider. It would be cheaper, but also more work and somewhat of a hassle (if you take the course online, you'll likely have to go to some random place to write the exam). You would still need a full course load, so it will amount to the same amount of money--actually, it could end up being more expensive if you have to pay for the CE course. If there is another first-term course you really want to take, then CE is something to consider, but if not then I'd just stick with taking 1P03.
