2 Labs in One Day?
So I've got a BIO2F03 Lab & Chem2A03 Lab on a Friday with an hour's break in between. Do you think it's doable? The lab's are EOW, but I'm hoping to have them on the same day to open up my hours of studying. Also, can you comment on how the two labs are - what you do, do you hand-in the labs on the same day, are they fairly easy?

Thanks..

Edit: Not Chem2A03. Chem2OA3.

I took ChemBio 2A03/2AA3 and those labs were pretty stressful. I'm not sure how the Chem 2A03 equivalent is, but it could be comparable.

I think having those two labs on the same day should be doable, just make sure to have a food break in between them.

No way. do you want to kill yourself?

if they are every other week and they alternate. meaning week 1 you got chem and week 2 you got bio then that's fine. otherwise run.

LOL. Alright. I'll probably alternate them then.
(Sorry, I meant CHEM2OA3)
& Thanks =)

The Bio 2F03 labs aren't even proper labs, they're really easy presentations and such. That being said, I wouldn't want both that and an orgo lab on the same day.

"I took ChemBio 2A03/2AA3 and those labs were pretty stressful. I'm not sure how the Chem 2A03 equivalent is, but it could be comparable."
I don't know how about how it was this past year, but they're supposed to be identical. Chem bios usually get the second week on Friday's for their slot, and the rest of the days are filled up by Chem 2OA3 students.

^chembio 2a03 is a different course than chem 20a3. chembio kids take both classes. i think there is confusion because tc origionally said chembio 2a03 and not chem 20a3.

chem 20a3 labs are pretty chilling and you just wait around in most of em.

Biochem students also take **** Chem (CHEM BIO 2A03), but we take it in third year instead of second.

Never passing up an opportunity to throw that course name out there, Justin.

I'd just alternate the labs though. It'd make everything a lot less stressful. I haven't taken Bio2f03, but the orgo labs were kind of tedious :(.

I'd be careful with alternating because no labs run for orgo the week coming back from thanksgiving so the rotation switches. Classes that don't have monday labs usually remain the same.
