That was a TOTALLY different question, and also, There were no answers, the first person to answer said they did not know, and the other 2 answers were too vague.

Also, in that question that you put up, the question is how are the two courses different, the question on this thread is, are these courses the same course? They seem very similar.

You will learn how to solder in the Chemistry I class whereas knitting is preferred in the Intro course.
Take them both and see for yourself...
