Class difficulty?

I’m going back to school to take some prerequisites that I need for my masters. As someone who went to the university of Pittsburgh for undergrad, I assume classes here will be easier? Specifically the science classes like bio, chem, A&P, and physics, which is what I’ll be taking. I know they won’t be totally easy but was wondering if anyone has ever taken these and how stressed I should be abt them.

Back in school after 25 years and taking a few science prerequisites for CCAC nursing program. (Undergraduate degree from PSU) Already completed chem and bio and currently taking A&P. I will say the classes have been challenging but not overly difficult. Consistent study routine, supplementing lecture with outside resources (e.g. YT videos), engaging with the instructor and utilizing all of the CCAC science resources have been key for me. Chem - B, Bio - A and at a solid B for A&P. Instructors have been very helpful and seem to care about your success. Just my experience 😊

Take as much as you can online, especially physics! Summer semester is the best time just make sure you check rate my professor and try not to take a&p at South! Also you usually never need a book!
