For current students and fairly recent graduates: Taking LifeSci 1b without 1a?

<p>Is it substantially harder to take LifeSci 1b if I haven’t taken LifeSci 1a? I know it would be out of sequence with what most people take, but I’d be interested to hear the opinion of anyone who has taken both classes.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I took LS1b ~3 years ago, so things may have changed, but I don’t think it’ll be a problem. LS1b is a bio class with a genetics focus - there’s really no chem involved.</p>
