drewp Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Feedback on BIOL 3030: Physiology of Invertebrates with Andrew Donini please? thanks Also, for someone who finds math a little challenging (and quite frankly annoying) how is MATH 1505? Any tips? I am definitely prepared to work hard and it does seem a lot more interesting since it deals with the math in the general field of biology.

PremedToronto Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thank you Ilayh and PremedToronto! I'm looking forward to attend York! I have one more question! How do you enroll for the resarch practicum course ? York University told me that the spaces are unlimited for the course but if I add the course through York Passport it says all spaces are reserved. Then I went back and read over the course guideline and it told me to get permission from a professor. I'm really confused This course sounds so interesting... My current understanding is this: 1. Go ask a prof when school starts 2. Prof confirms and fills out a form 3. I take it to the admissions office and enroll for the course. Is this right? Thank you again! I agree - it's a little too early to be thinking about research practicums lol. But yes later you will need to talk to the professor before enrolling in these type of courses Feedback on BIOL 3030: Physiology of Invertebrates with Andrew Donini please? thanks Also, for someone who finds math a little challenging (and quite frankly annoying) how is MATH 1505?

Haven't taken BIOL 3030 but MATH 1505 was a complete recap of grade 12 plus some integrals at the end. There are some application questions relating to biology concepts (i.e. half life) but not much to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed the textbook and it looks like it has a high emphasis on bio. I haven't taken 3030, but friends have said its an easy A+ Perfect, thank you!!

Neurospora Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Has anyone taken PSYC 2220 - Sensation and Perception I? Alistair Mapp is teaching it this year but I've been hearing that the course is challenging. Any feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsdbja95 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Havnt took the course, but did take 2020 with mapp. Definitely fits the description, he is fair, but to get an A+ you will have to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Med_Sep Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hey Guys I already have an undergrad and masters degree from mechanical but I am about to start a kinesiology program. I am thinking about taking Bio 1000, Physics 1010, Chem 1000, one math course and another course. I transferred some of my courses. I just need to pass 48 kin courses + 6 science course in order to get the degree. My plan is that I apply for the med-schools in Fall 2017 and I am retaking some of my courses in order to increase my GPA. Could you please give me an idea about which math courses I need to get? 1013 or 1505?Do you recommend any prof in bio 1000, Chem 1000 and math? I am so confused about what should be my fifth course. Since I wanna complete the degree in three years I can pass 90 credits and I need only 54. It does not matter that I get easy courses to increase my GPA. That would be great if you can help me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also teaches the material in a manner that's easy to understand. Med_Sep and Dr. Octavius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Yorker Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 For Chem 1000 fall term I have professor Hempstead, and in the winter I have prof Damian R Ifa. Are they okay in getting a high GPA? (Is 8.0~9.0 not too difficult to achieve?) Med_Sep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hempstead is boring, but easy. Ifa is a nice guy, not sure how he is as a professor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Good to hear. Exam difficulty? I think biol 1000 has a common exam to all sections. It was easy. Honestly the entire course is memorizing the learning objectives that the professor gives you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewp Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Good to hear. Exam difficulty? I honestly didn't find her exams too difficult if you really prepare for them. Just a lot of material you need to know. And I totally agree with Falling. Just memorize the learning objectives. Dr. Octavius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Don't have anything on Fournier personally. I've heard he's good for the upper year chem classes. As an easy elective, consider the intro economics courses, human phys I, psych 1010 (if you need 6.00 credits). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011235813 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (Rene Andre Fournier, his name isn't Andrea) It's Chem1000, study hard, do past tests, and you'll be fine. In terms of his teaching, he's pretty good. He has a thick french accent, but he's very engaging. In terms of actual lecture, he's a step above Hempstead in my opinion.

Edit: Unless you have a transfer credit of a similar course from another university. Just incase try speaking to the prof. see what h/she says.
