Need help deciding: Political Theory and French Language Practice II
I have a bit of an issue that I need some help with. I'm trying to double major in French and Political Sciences.

According to the Department of Political Sciences: "POL SCI 2O06 and 3N06 (formerly 2F06) are required for students in Honours Political Science programs. These two courses are recommended for students in B.A. programs."

POL SCI 2O06 is a full-year course called Political Theory. It has only one time slot.

For French, there are two courses I am trying to take (among others): French Language Practice I (2B03) and II (2BB3). Two separate courses, 3 credits each.

Most third year courses require 2BB3 as a prerequisite. There are two time slots for this: a day class (12:30) and a evening-ish (5:30) class. The professor for the evening slot is apparently awful and makes the course too difficult to bear, whereas the day class professor is great and also teaches 2B03

Political Theory happens to be at the same time as French 2BB3. I can't decide whether I should drop 2BB3 and take it another time, or just take Political Theory another time. I can't get into most of my 3rd year French Courses without 2BB3, but Political Theory is highly recommended if you're going to major in Poli Sci...

Any advice on what I should do?

Not taking 2b03 and 2bb3 puts you behind in terms of selecting future french courses, so I would go with that.

You can always take the poli sci course next year? Its not required for many (or any) courses, is it?

The only thing it's required for is a 3rd year course called Democratic Theory, but that can wait.

You think I should take it later?

Totally unrelated, but hey Omar! =)
I'm taking 2B03 and 2BB3 next year too!
