Hey so I have bio 2a03 and bio 2b03 in the same semester, but i dont have a full course load. Only 3 courses the other one is Life sci 2a03
i was wondering if its a good idea to take these two courses or not as im hearing genetics esp isnt easy.
Thing is i also have two deferred exams to take care of in Feb AND i dont NEED these two courses but its strongly recommended for a 3rd year course. So,if its just recommended....and not required should i bother taking them (bio2a03 and bio 2C03)?

Bio 2A03 is far, far more work & more difficult than 2C03. I'd talk to an academic adviser. I wouldn't take both at once.

really? O_O.... even though i have only 3 courses this term?...with two deferrals but i should be good till Feb

i have to take these two courses for Westerns dental school: (shown below) andthey say that bio 2b03 and 2c03 are recommended... but not required:

with 3 courses this term, youre fine.

With only three courses, it shouldn't even matter what they are, unless you're working a significant amount of time (>20hrs/wk) or have other extensive commitments.

If all you have is the three courses to worry about, and you find yourself having trouble, you should re-think dental school.

Many, many people take BIO 2A03 and 2C03 at the same time, you should be fine unless there are some other extraneous reasons that wouldn't allow you to.

With 3 courses it should be more than manageable.

If you can't handle Bio 2A03 and Bio 2C03 with only 3 courses that term, you might need to reevaluate your learning strategies and future career goals.
