Western bird courses

[agray33]

hey guys,

 

I pretty much got my courses planned out for 3rd year (at UWO) and I have quite a few rough ones; i'm in the need to fill up 1.0 credits with some real birds - can anyone help? I know "bird" courses depend on the individual, but I mean a course where, if you put in the work, you can pull off a stellar grade. For example, courses like drugs and behavior/psych 020 (i dont want to take any 0 level courses though) I found easy to do well in.

 

Any suggestions will honestly be appreciated.

 

thanks guys.

social psych (psych 171).. environmental philosophy... and some chem courses like enviro chem

earth sciences! So easy. 088 and 123/023

[thompson]

also psych of the human mind.

[supafield]

both the 100-level astro courses.... however I found the origin of the universe much easier than search for life.... just because it was much less reading

I almost took it last year.

 

Online courses can be tough to keep on top of. If you're discipline, you should be okay. Try emailing the course co-ordinator.

I heard pharm 206 was all just memorization - drug name, purpose, how it works. I know people who switched OUT of pharm after taking that class. So I would suggest not taking it.

psych 130 with cann THE HUMAN MIND, easiest 90 i've ever had

 

earthsci 240(online), got a 94 without doing much until a week b4 the exam.

I took cog psych 235 with cann last year, and didn't like his exam style. Too many ambiguous question.

 

What's earth sci 240 about?

history of catastrophic events.... online course... in past years has been quite easy.... not much reading... lecture notes clearly laid out... taking it this year..... been told by a few that's with minimal effort it's a good mark..

You'd think with all this talk about bird courses at Western that Western is the place to be to get a bird degree.

Pathology 3900F/G - Introduction to Comparative Pathology

An introduction to the field of laboratory animal science and comparative human and animal pathology. Major topics include regulatory oversight of animal-based research, animal biology and disease, animals as models of human diseases, genetic manipulation of research animals, and major intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting biomedical research.

 

This course is amazing from what I've heard. I'm planning on taking it next year.

I loved intro immunology (micro 357a when I took it, now I don't know what it is). That was a fun and interesting class. Human biochemistry 384a was also incredible, as was clinical biochemistry 386b.

 

Although, word on the streets is clinical biochemistry 386b is going to be harder this year.

I think Western has to have one of the larger selection of former 100 level courses.... however there are a few that lurk and strike!

 

Example... Classical studies of greek and roman education...

 

fit perfect into my schedule, generally 100 level classics courses are a breeze.... NOT true for this one.... it single handedly changed my "special year" to a new degree... ah well teach me to hover around a 3.7

Classics 137 with Brown, had to work so hard to just finish with an 80. The year before it was a joke with another prof.

are there any reports or essays or anything like that or is it just exams and quizes?

 

Thanks
