| | Taking Biology 113 Without the Chemistry Prerequisite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Chemistry comes very early in biology 113 (as, indeed, it does in most if not all introductory biology texts), and though much of what is subsequently taught is built upon this chemistry base, you should get a good idea of whether you are in over your head very early in the quarter. |
 | | This is because the organic chemistry upon which biology 113 extensively draws is, unfortunately, not presented in the chemistry prerequisite series until after the first quarter, which is all that constitutes the chemistry prerequisite to biology 113. |
 | | If the first exposure to a real biology course is biology 113, and you have preconceived notions as to just what biology is all about and how hard it ought to be, you may be setting yourself up for a bad experience in biology 113. |
