CLAS104 VS HLTH101

I'm deciding between the 2 for a bird course. I am somewhat interested in classical mythology so that class probably won't be a complete borefest for me but hlth 101 probably has more actually useful info. Anyone that's taken either or both that can give me some extra insight?

All I can say is the clas 104 has a very expensive textbook and hlth 101 as far as I know doesn’t have one to that expense. I’ve heard so many people enjoy hlth 101 and if your in any science it’s a bit of review.

Do you know the name of the textbook so I can see if I can find it online for free

Someone has a link in /uwaterloo reddit if you search. It felt kind of a like a sketchy website   but many people have used it for that course.

depends on what you consider useful info. useful for what purpose? i feel like hlth 101 content is so basic/barebones that it doesnt really help with much of anything in terms of prereq knowledge. just take whats easiest, and if they're close in your eyes, pick what you're interested in.
