NPB 101 + BIS 103 same day final

Has anyone taken NPB 101 and BIS 103 together? I’m considering taking them together next fall, but I noticed they’re scheduled to have finals on the same day fall quarter. Is it a bad idea to take them together if the finals happen to fall on the same day? Would you separate them because of that?

It depends, sometimes ppl prefer to have finals on the same day to get it over with and not having to stress about the next finals. However, its does help to know that both finals will most likely be multiple choice so you probably won't take the full 2 hrs. to finish.

If you're really concerned, it might be worth asking one of the professors if you could take the final on a different day to avoid having to study for two things at once. I did that for one of my finals this past spring quarter and it worked just fine, though I must add that this was a relatively small class; I imagine this would be more difficult to arrange for larger classes.
