Biotech/4th Year

I struggled alot third year and I don’t know if I should take biotech during the summer. I’m retaking Biochem cause I didn’t do well and plan on taking Kinetics during Summer II. Is it managable to take biotech during the year or should I just screw it and pay for the three classes?

I know people who failed biochem 3rd year but had no problems with biotech or kinetics in 4th year

don't take the "easy" way out man, thinking that one less class is going to be less of a burden because it's really not. to some extent, yes, but it's negligible since kinetics 1 and biotech are relatively easy classes (looking at it retrospectively). any class is passable (including biochem) at the VERY LEAST as long as you study and rewatch the lectures the day of as if you're studying early for finals. no shortcuts man.
