mht Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 course enrollment is taking place very soon and I big question I have on my mind is whether or not I should take bio270/271 or psl 300/301 psl302 has been cut into halves into 300/301 its grading scheme is 34% term test and 64% exam for both 300/301 the scheme for bio270/271 25% midterm/45% final/30% labs I was just wondering if any uoft upper year undergraduates could give me any advice on whether I should take psl or bio? if possible could someone please list the pros and cons of taking each? i've heard how hard psl was, but I was wondering if I'd be crutched or hindered in future if i didn't take it. thanks ahead of time for your advice/comments!

drkwhy Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm entering 2nd year so I can't be of too much help but I've heard the BIO270/271 labs are difficult but the tests/exam is much easier than psl. But judging by the grading scheme, psl looks more intimidating than bio due to the 64% exam... It's make it or break it in 3 hours...yikes.

tothestars Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Depends on your subject post. If your post accepts either, than just go the easier route and take BIO 270/271. If you look at the anticalendar the difficulty rating for BIO 270/271 is 3.9/7 whereas PSL302 is 5.8/7 -- huge difference. I took PSL300 myself and there was a LOT of memorization. I guess the main thing is, just don't give yourself extra work without reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mht Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 @drkwhy didn't know that about the labs! thanks for the info gotta add that to the con side haha @tothestars yeah i did a bit of research and the only courses I wouldn't be able to take out of my majors (h&d and cell and molec) were the hmb470 series (which kind of interested me since it's exercise science but I think i'll live) other than that I can't find a big pro in taking psl300/301 and again yeah I was thinking along the same lines, if I don't really need to take it there really shouldn't be any point in doing so, unless of course later on it'll bite me in the ass if i dont which is kind of why i wanted to get some feedback from people on here, so thanks! can anyone else shed some light on both courses?
