Hey everybody! So I'm a non trad about 6 years removed from Gen Chem, Organic Chem and Physics. I have about 2 years left of a DIY post bacc so my original plan was to retake Gen Chem and Organic so that I could get a proper foundation of the subject as I barely remember anything from these classes. However, just found out my school has a policy where you're not allowed to retake classes you've already received a B or better in and transferring schools isn't a good option (for several reasons that I don't really feel like explaining, but will if anybody is really curious).
One option is that I am allowed to sit in on all the lectures I just wouldn't be actually registered for it or be allowed to participate in the lab component, another option is that I could just forget going to a lecture and re-teach myself all the material that way I could structure it so that its MCAT material focused but I've never been a "self-teaching" kinda person, and I'm not sure if this will go well.
Has anybody ever been in a similar situation and what did you do? If you re-taught yourself were there any resources you used? Are there any online lecturers that are thorough enough to replace actually taking the course?
