I agree with what 2Dream said, read the course outlines and compare both courses. Make a list of pros and cons for both. Also, what are you interested in? Personally, I found linguistics super boring, but I really enjoyed health and aging (I didn't take 1bb3, I took the other one), and I felt that it had a lighter workload (even though there was an essay
). Linguistics had too much homework, it was mostly okay/simple but I felt like there was a lot to do and it was all boring.
Here are the course outlines:
