Intro to Psychology as a Social Science OR Intro to Psychology as a Natural Science?

I'm trying to decide between these two courses--Intro to Psych as a Social Science or Intro to Psych as a Natural Science. Which one do you think would be more interesting/easier (more manageable)? If it helps I'm already taking an intro to biology class, so would intro to psych/natural science be similar and too difficult to do at the same time?
 
Social science unit will likely have more emphasis on historical and societal aspects. Natural science will focus a bit more on scientific method with the topics, including more coverage on research methodology and stats. Probably a lot of overlap between the two, otherwise. No, will be very different than bio as this isn't a course in psychobio, but just general psych so likely limited coverage of biological topics. Gotta understand that an intro class covers so many subareas within psych (i.e. social, developmental, learning, etc) you only get a whirlwind tour of the subject matter.
