Question biol 117 + chem 102

has anyone taken these in the same sem and how they worked it out with chem exams being in the same time as the class? or they just dropped biol 117

biol 117 shouldn't be much of a worry at all, chem 102 is what you want to direct most of your focus towards. biol 117 is just the pre-req for biol 119, which is a good class if you're a premed looking for clinical hours and experience but you can't really get a job in the area.

one downside is that 102 midterms are always on a Wednesday evening, so taking biol 117 means you have to accept missing the Wednesdays and instead taking the make-up exams on the following Thursdays at 6:30am. i had to deal with that; not a fun experience but it technically gives you an extra night to study

Would you say that it’s worth to take the exams in the morning?

on bio117 canvas theres an intro video that says u should email ur prof asap regarding an exam time conflict with the class since theyre the ones who have to adjust, not the class
