3rd/4th year Bio/Mol Bio Courses
Heya folks. I was just trying to decide on which courses to take next year, and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for 3rd or 4th year bio/molbio courses.

Has anyone taken Molbio3B03 this year? I think this is the first year they've had it. My degree requirement needs five 3rd/4th year bio courses and I can't seem to decide on which ones, even after looking through some reviews. Thanks for any suggestions :'D.

Mol Bio 3B03 was literally cytoplasm and nucleus squished into one course. I personally felt that there were too many things going on in the course: group presentation, tutorial quizzes, in-class quizzes, two midterms, critique, exam. The material wasn't too difficult but the cytoplasm part (Gupta) had a lot of content and it was difficult studying for the test. The nucleus content (Daniel) was better, and people generally did better on this half. It was the first year of nucleus and cytoplasm together, so I think they will improve the pacing and amount of content for the future. You definitely have to put in work to do well in this course.

I was hoping they'd split it back into two courses. Thanks for your input though!
