Which term/prof?
So I'm currently debating when I'm better off taking phys 1B03/which scenario would be better and not too overwhelming.

Term 1......... & .......Term 2
Bio 2BO3 .............. Bio 2C03
Bio 2L03 .................Bio 2A03
Chem 2OA3.............Phys 1B03
Bio 2EE3 .................Psyc h 2C03
Bio 2D03 .................Psyc h 2NF3/2TT3 or Chem 20B3

Would I be better off switching Physics 1B03 (R.Nejat) for term 1 (C.Wilson) and putting Bio 2B03 second term?

I would have a lab every day of the week if I did (2 EOW). I'm concerned and would appreciate any advice on

1) Is it worth switching for the prof, Nejat wasn't clear when I had him last year/ How is Wilson?
2) Balancing orgo with phys and the bios I'm taking
3) I couldn't decide whether or not to specialize so If I choose to by second term, I will replace a psych with 20B3, so will phys be harder to follow with that and the harder bios?

Thanks!!

I had Nejat for physics 1l03 and although he was entertaining I didn't feel like he was an exceptional prof. But I did take orgo this summer and i thought the course load was heavy cuz it requires a lot of practice. From what I hear about physics 1b03 is that it is tough as well so... IMO its best off keeping it how it is~
that way you have some what of an even course load

My concern is if I decide to replace a psych with 20B3, I'm not sure what would be worse. Considering what I would be taking along side it, I'm wondering what would be best in that scenario as well.

Ah~ that's true. Looking at your other courses that semester it actually looks heavier than your first if you put in chem 20b3. I've heard that bio 2c03 & bio 2a03 are also challenging courses and if you put chem 20b3 there itd be a lot of work. IMO if you keep psych 2nf3/2tt3 keep your timetable the way it is. If you decide to put chem 20b3 i would make the switch.

As long as your bio 2B03 prof is not dr. igdoura you should be ok. He's much worse at teaching 2B03 than nejat is at phys 1B03. Nejat suits some people but not everyone. He's very open to questions during his office hours though.

No, only Dr. Dej is teaching both terms. I purposely took genetics with her second term to avoid Dr. Campos so I'm looking out for professors

Also, If I took it in the summer, It would be 6 months away from 20A3, which I'm told is bad to separate.
