Advice for science credits

[cookderosa]

I think it's a good idea to check the school's transfer and credit-by-exam policy before making a decision. However, I strongly disagree with those who suggest taking a class or two to fill the science requirement. Any class you take will be way more work than preparing for the DSST Environment & Humanity, DSST Astronomy or DSST Intro to Computing, and that is definitely the case with New Mexico Junior College's courses. I've taken all of their biology lab courses, and I would never suggest them to someone who dreads science and just wants to get it out of the way. Such a situation is ripe for CLEP/DSST testing. They are good classes, but for nursing students and science majors, not for people who dread science requirements. The exams also cost a lot less.

Yenisei, but you're a science rock star. Some of us REALLY have a hard time with this subject. Not to be contradictory, I'm just sayin. For me, my classes were longer but easier in terms of what I had to learn.
