AI Thread Summary
To successfully pursue a biology degree while managing financial constraints and a limited course load, it's essential to first complete prerequisite courses, typically high school-level biology and chemistry. Many colleges offer upgrading courses for those who need to strengthen their foundational knowledge. Once these prerequisites are met, enrolling in an introductory biology course is recommended to gauge interest and aptitude in the field. This approach allows for a gradual build-up of knowledge and confidence without the pressure of an overwhelming course load.

Hello, I was thinking of going back to college for biology but the problem I am having is that I can only have one class per semester (Lack of money) and I am unsure how to approach this field, in high school I was horrible at math (Didn't even pass Alb 1) I didn't take any science classes of any sort in high school. What should I take in order to build a strong foundation to my biology? Do I need to learn chemistry? I am just unsure what to take first, second ect ect.

Thanks in advanced for any help. :)

First you need to make sure you have the prerequisite coursed for any college-level course you take. For a biology course, this usually means high-school level biology and chemistry. Most colleges will have 'upgrading' high school-level courses for those who need them. After that - take your first year biology course and see where it takes you.
 
Ok, I wasn't sure how it was going to be. Thank goodness that they have that so I don't have to suffer and be in embarrassed from the lack of knowledge. Thank you so much :)
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
