Was it difficult to learn? I'm just wondering because I'm currently considering changing careers. I would like to get a job working with animals, unfortunately, it seems that most of the degrees in that field require biology coursework of some kind (yikes!). I'm nervous thinking about taking it, since science/biology was not one of my better subjects. Can someone shed some light on this for me please?

Yeah, I'm a total biologist.

I took a basic biology class. Alot of memorization mostly.




I learned a great deal of my own personal biology in College despite though.

For real?

You fucks.

Nan, it's easy. Go for it.

took 1-3 in highschool and 1-3 college level also

took Anatomy & Physiology 1 - 3 at college level

It's not too hard a subject

you'll do great

Are you sure it's easy?

Mach said:

Thanks. If I ever have a biology question, I'll know who to ask.

I took it and the worst part was the frog dissection. I was so scary that I let my lab partner do all the cutting and I pinned the poor froggy down

nurse said:

I remember dissecting frogs in junior high, I hated it too.

psychodelicide said:

For some reason in college the frogs seemed huge Maybe it was just me Anyway, I made an A

nurse said:

Yay! At least you got an A in the class, that is very good.

How much high school biology do you remember? During summer orientation before my freshman year of college, they had me take a biology placement test. Although it had been a few years since I took it in HS, I passed, "tested out," and was given 5 credits. Somehow I managed to get my B.A. without taking any hard science classes whatsoever.

Actually, I never even took biology in high school. So if they were to test me on it, I would be SCREWED.

It's a lot of reading and memorzing, but I loooove biology, so I did great when I took it. I guess it depends on how interesting it is to you.

I took it in Jr High, High School, and again in college.

In college the first class I showed up for was the mid term. I got a C. The Professor told stories about crows and put them on the test

It could be hard the first time, but my college course wasn't really harder than the Jr High course. I just should have been there for the crow stories.

Took High School biology and A&P in college. Nothing difficult to understand. Just don't burn the candle at both ends and you'll do good.

I didn't take it in college, but I remember that there was a lot of memorizing when I took it in high school.

I probably would like it, as long as it wouldn't be too hard for me.

Your biology teacher told crow stories? How lame.

xplnyrslf said:

Thanks.

I took a biology course like two years ago or so and dropped it, because I did not understand it, but I did good in Geology.

coolcat said:

A lot of people on this thread said it involves a lot of memorizing. Maybe I need to take ginkgo to improve my memory for this course.

Paradisekiss03 said:

Uh oh. See, that's what I'm afraid will happen to me. I'll take the course, get all confused, and wind up dropping it.

psychodelicide said:

If you find that you really like biology then go for it and take a biology class. However, if biology is not your favorite subject then you can always pick another science class like chemistry, Geology,Astronomy, or Phyisics.Personally, Geology is my favorite science subject and for the Geology sub subjects I like Volcanology, Oceanography,Plate Tectonics,and Seismology.

Paradisekiss03 said:

Wow - thanks! I know I wouldn't like Chemistry (I hate math). But the other courses that you mentioned might be okay.

psychodelicide said:

Yeah I would not like Chemistry either for the math, but Geology is pretty cool.

Paradisekiss03 said:

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

you welcome.
I just wish that college algebra or statistics was not a requirement for graduation.
