Answer 1

You have them in the right order now...by the way A&P is probably the same couse..with a 4 hour lab..Micro has a 3 hour lab..And will be lots of fun...Nutrition for practical applications sound easy but you can forget it ..its chocked full of kilocalorie problems and equation balancing. Clinical Psych is pretty good but pay attention to the prof ..some are book folks and others are free thinkers...statistics can be taken anytime along the way It will give the minimal math and standard deviation problems you might need to calculate growth rate in a culture but for the most part I thinks its just like chrome on a bumper ..It has some value but its mostly for show...Sorry to all the stat teachers out there....Have a good one ..from the E

Answer 2

I'd suggest anatomy before physiology and physiology before nutrition. Micro, statistics,  and psych can be shoe-horned in where they fit. If the teachers are any good, the order should not be critical.

Answer 3

nutrition and developmental psychology are the easiest.

anatomy is the hardest.

everything else is gravy.

statistics sucks!!

good luck

Answer 4

physiology

Answer 5

The most important class you can take is physiology so that you can understand the functioning of the human body.  In order to start physiology, you must have already studied anatomy.  Without these two classes, you will be clueless as to how the human body works.  Therefore, anatomy, then physiology.

The other classes can be fitted around anatomy and physiology.  They are all easier.

Answer 6

talk to a school consular,that's what i did and i have all my classes planned and when to take them.

Answer 7

It depends on what course you would like to take, which of the classes are you much liked, then the class you much liked should be chose by you. It is not for others to pick you a class, because if they picked you a class that you havn't liked, what would you chose? Others' pick? Of Course yours.
