bored Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks for the input. So I guess it's not about the molecular/biology of aging? Its more of a humanities course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL not even close to molecular/biology... it's a little old lady talking about the changes (physical and mental) of aging. Very fun to listen to lol.

bored Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 man we need a biology of aging course at Yorku. Id take it right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmer08 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 man we need a biology of aging course at Yorku. Id take it right away. The biology dept is not allowed to have interesting courses. It would have probably been a kine course named "Molecular basis of aging" haha.

bored Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 The biology dept is not allowed to have interesting courses. It would have probably been a kine course named "Molecular basis of aging" haha. there are so many reasons about why people get the 'old' characteristic. the only afew ive actually learnt and understood are the whole telomerase and the reactive oxygen speices.. there are obviously more reasons about why people age.. Its such a good idea for a course, Im surprised that there isn`t a course on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhopeful64 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 man we need a biology of aging course at Yorku. Id take it right away. Biological Timekeeping (I forget the course code, its a fourth year bio course) is probably the closest thing we have to a biology of aging course. I went to the first lecture in January - it actually looked quite interesting. Didn't take it though because I heard the prof was super subjective/brutal on his marking (the exams are all essay based). The biology dept is not allowed to have interesting courses. It would have probably been a kine course named "Molecular basis of aging" haha. Ahahahaahaha yupp that sounds about right there are so many reasons about why people get the 'old' characteristic. the only afew ive actually learnt and understood are the whole telomerase and the reactive oxygen speices.. there are obviously more reasons about why people age.. Its such a good idea for a course, Im surprised that there isn`t a course on this. We did one lecture on the genetics of aging in my Advanced Drosophila Genetics class...mostly on the Reactive Oxygen Species theory though. BUT, there is a paper in that course where you can pick pretty much any topic in Drosophila Genetics (of which aging is well researched) to research and talk about. So you could learn about it there.

charmer08 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I know the course in general is quite difficult, but how hard are the labs for this course are they seen as a way to bring up your mark if you don't do so well on the tests The average for the first few lab reports is a B but then it becomes an A. I didn't start getting A+'s until the last few labs. But, our lab marks were curved up so I guess the other TAs might be marking easier. Overall, yes they are easy marks but they tend to be a bit of work unlike the chem1000/1001 labs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerkstore Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 If you're taking a program that doesn't include any biology, which courses should you take as prep for the MCAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notjk Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 If you're taking a program that doesn't include any biology, which courses should you take as prep for the MCAT? Taking the first year courses in biol,chem and physics. Second year orgo chem, and second year bio chem should cover a large portion~ Course wise: BIOL1000 BIOL1001 CHEM1000 CHEM1001 CHEM2020 BIOL2020/BIOL2021 [ I heard some people telling me its more biol 2021 than biol2020- just take both in my opinion to deal for some of the medical school prereqs] I am not sure about the Intro to physio and Anatomy ( both KINE 2XXX) but the upper year yorkies can tell you that.

vanillabear Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 So York Kin BSc doesn't include any Bio or Chem or Physics as part of the compulsory curriculum? Full year Bio and full year Chem. Physics is not compulsory but we do learn Biomechanics in 3rd year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurepediatric Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I saw that there hiring people for part time tech support ( or something like that) at Steacie library? if I had to stay in that library for my 4 months of summer..oh my.... Full year Bio and full year Chem. Physics is not compulsory but we do learn Biomechanics in 3rd year. wow really? how come everyone I meet in kin BSc always says that chem is not compulsory, but that they just need x credits of science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmer08 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 wow really? how come everyone I meet in kin BSc always says that chem is not compulsory, but that they just need x credits of science bio isn't compulsory either... they just need a certain number of credits from the first year core science courses and many choose to go with bio... they could take EATS instead of bio if they wished to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
