I want to retake it because I’m looking at med school and med schools generally dislike AP credits. Some also dislike credits from community colleges and “other” (didn’t even specify “lower”) institutions - I took english semesters I & II for dual-enrollment while in high school… oh well.

I do realize that (luckily) chemistry is easy for me, and so the General Chemistry class will probably be a bit dull (probably mostly just stoichiometry, balancing equations, other basic chemistry skills). I am interested in this General Chemistry for Majors class and was advised to take that class. I’m wondering what the differences are between the two; does one move faster than the other, cover more material than the other, etc. and how much so? As well as any other differences, such as class size, dif teachers, (if dif) teacher reputation, credits, etc.
