physiology 301 at UBC

[Guest AidaVerdi]

Could someone tell me about the course? Was it easy or insanely difficult? Is it mostly memorizing? Any warnings for prospective PHYL301'ers?

 

Thanks in advance!

Extremely interesting and most of the profs are excellent. However, there is a large volume of material and I recommend doing a review of each week's material at least once per week.

 

The exams consist of minute details and nit-picky, anally-retentive type questions.

 

For instance, there are quite a few of those multiple choice questions that look like this:

 

a) a, b, c

a, b, and not c

c) a, b, c, d, but not e

d) none of the above

e) all of the above

 

That said, the material is very very interesting and I enjoyed the course.

 

The class average was 77% with 443 students. So it's quite high. Also, in our class, we had the "double cohort" of pharmacy students so I expect there to be less students next year.
