Currently, I'm taking a biology but I need to take two more science courses before I start my major courses. Plus, I maybe transferring to another institution soon and I need a certain amount of science courses before I leave. Should I do the following
1. Take two semesters of chemistry
2. Take two semesters of physics
3. Take one chem then one physics
**** In addition, if I take Chemistry, should I take the Introductory course first? If not, how should I prepare for such a class. Is there an introductory course to physics???

I have taken physics in high school and I loved it. Although I received a C but thats because I had poor study skills at the time.
I've only taken Chemistry In The Community -- which is a course that prepares you for Chemistry in high. I decided to take physics in place in the actual chemistry course.

Ask around at your school as to the grades the particular Instructor gives out. If the General Chemistry Instructor gives out lower grades, that course is more difficult. If the Physics I one gives out lower grades, that course is more difficult.

Well I think the 1st semester of either one was a lot easier than the second! So I would go for option #3, esp if you know you are awful in physics. If you like chem better or physics better I'd go with that though! As far as intro courses go, it depends on how much intro you've had yourself. I had a year of chem and physics in high school and I was fine for the classes. If you haven't had that in high school, perhaps an intro would be good. Do you have an advisor you like? If you do, maybe discuss this with them.

Have u ever taken physics before. I took physics my first semester of college and since i was never exposed to it because it cause we didn't have a physics class at my high school it was a little bit harder for me. Not harder you would jsut have to study a lot to grasp the material and and ways to solve the problem but i took Chem I last semester and since i took chemistry practically all my life throughout high school and stuff it was a breeze but you you have to study. It's not that hard then again a guess it's the school you go to and also depends on the teacher

If the answer isn't already obvious to you, taking one each is a good choice. You're likely to get better help from the advisors at your school, since they know the specific courses and instructors, and can learn about you and help figure out which would be better for you. None of us know the specific courses you mention since we don't even know what school you're talking about.

The math in Physics classes is generally more complex, but if you are fairly good with math, I think the ideas in physics classes are easier to grasp for most people.
Whether there is an "intro" course to physics will depend on your school.
