Im thinking of doing ag science at csu wagga what is the course content like? Does it involve much dairy? Whats the livestock production like? Do you really need to know much chemistry as i dropped out of chem in my hsc year. How big are the classes, do many people do ag science at wagga?

Basically CHM108 is an 'easy' chem subject, and will introduce you to the basics you'll need.

MCR101 is the same Microbio subject I do, and it doesn't involve much chemistry at all, but there is a lot to remember and it has a lot of pracs.

I also do BCM210 which is Biochem. I haven't done it yet, it's a new subject they introduced and it starts next year. From what I hear, you don't need to be heaps good at normal chem, because it's completely different

HAHAHA oh shit, you do STA201 as well (Stats)

Worst fucking subject ever, it made me want to neck myself. I failed it the first time, it was a horrendous subject.

2 assignments worth 15% and theyre HUGE, and then the exam is open book, but you have to pass the exam to pass the subject and holy crap, it just sucks.
