I've done both. Thank the Lawd my botany professor had a good sense of humor. The first day of lectures he announced (and I swear I'm not making this up); "Please confirm that you're in the correct lecture hall. This is Botany 101, not Horticulture. Horticulture lectures are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To those of you who may be thinking of leaving, keep in mind; you can take a horticulture, but you can't make her think." It was like that for the rest of the term. He kept us entertained and engaged with his infamous 1-liners and stories about his travels. I didn't realize until much later how important he was in his field.
