charmer08 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Can anyone rank the difficulty of the following courses? (I only want to take courses that are A+ plausible) Kine 2011 (Human Physiology I), Kine 2031 (Anatomy), Biol 2020 (Biochemistry) , Biol 2021 (Cell Biology) , Biol 2040 (Genetics) Thanks I'm trying to decide which courses to take and I don't have room for all of them in one year. kine 2011 < biol 2040 and biol 2020 < biol 2021 haven't taken anatomy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhopeful64 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Oh you'd be surprised...when I took it with Stuckless, the class average was a C+! lol I'm not so sure, the average for our in-class final was 85% and 84% for one of our last papers It turns out that the marks posted yesterday had an error...so I'm safe!

Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charmer08 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 So who's taken Orgo in the summer term and has actually been successful? Debating on whether I should take it during the summer (Have heard nothing but bad things) or during the year? its york.. how hard could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminant Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 its york.. how hard could it be? Out of curiousity, when you took the course (in summer/F-W)? what was the class avg? what grade did you obtain? If you obtained A/A+, then what were your study habits? I'm thinking reviewing the lecture material the day you receive it, then hopefully practise chapter problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 But I've heard from everyone that it is extremely difficult in the summer, No bell curves, People from U of T/McMaster come here for Orgo and barely pass.. etc. But people from uoft and mac may not be that smart If you have the time, then why not give it a try. and if you start to blunter, then drop it and do it in the year? trust me, its not that bad of a course.

bored Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 what about this plan? I'll go to all of the orgo lectures this summer, pretend I'm taking the course, do the work (no access to moodle though but I'll ask the prof. for permission) and then take it during F/W term? Not sure if the prof would give you permission for that, but you will eventually get lazy and not end up going to the classes. you can try though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I've been reading about taking the course as a P/F option..sounds promising. But would Ottawa and American med schools accept a pre-req taken as P/F?? I havn't heard of p/f courses at yorku except for the 0.0 credit courses.

nofrills Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 So I decided to take bio1000 this summer for ****s and giggles. Its with Nicole Nivillac. Does anyone have and study tips in terms of what to focus on? She was pretty cool for biol1000~ make sure you print out the slides and memorize those (last summer she put alot of the notes on the slides), and some of the clicker qs were on the tests. But the tests on whole are not difficult~ she will probably explain that as she goes through some of the content. And ya, I forgot if she put practice tests, but they are a good overview of what your test will be like ( she doesn't dig deep into details). Anyways thats just my perspective~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
