dB4e Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with taking biology courses at Athabasca? Specifically BIOL 401 Cell Biology & BIOL 341 Genetics. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamilt Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Although I didn't take either of those course, I took chem 301 (intro to biochemistry) in summer of 2007 and it was a very enjoyable experience. Obviously you need to be extremely independent and self motivated to do well, but as long as you keep up with the work and assignments then you should do fine if not great. They course instructors were available and helpful if you need them, I think I only contacted mine once... I got an A+ which translated to a 92 on my western transcript, and from my understanding which a much easier course than taking the equivalent at western. I think either of the courses will be fine, but might want to wait until someone who actually took them chimes in. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrea55 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Do all of the Canadian schools allow online courses to satisfy the prerequisites? Such as the Athabasca sciences with the home lab component. Does this satisfy the whole requirement including the lab portion? I have read on a few American school sites that they do not allow online work as prerequisites- and I believe McGill is the same. Just wondering if anyone knew any specifics from the other schools in Canada. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studentmed1001 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I took both and I enjoyed them. Not too easy, not too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
