Bio1A03 - Social Science
Hi, I am a Social Science student and I would like to pick Bio1A03 for the Spring semester, but I am unable to do so. I have Bio1M03 selected, but it does not allow me to pick Bio1A03.
I know this is happening because I am in the Social Sciences and not the Life Sciences.
So is there no way I can pick Bio1A03 this year? Is there a chance that it will let me pick Bio1A03 on my second year, and if so, will that affect anything?

Thanks.

You'll need to add "Science 1A00" and "HSC 1BS0" in order to be able to add Bio 1A03 because they're pre-reqs.

Well, he also has to be in science, arts&sci, chem eng and bioeng, elec and biomed eng, or in any Level II or above program. Since he is in none of these, he'll have to get a waiver. I think the people to talk to would be the science advisors in BSB.

If you're taking it because it seems interesting: don't. The material itself is pretty cool but the teaching methods are beyond terrible.

Also, BIO 1M03 was very boring (imo at least). Dr. Quinn had some pretty interesting lectures but Dr. Stone definitely didn't care enough about the course to make it interesting.

You might need to have taken grade 12 bio... I know thee is not a lot of evolution in Bio12, so that might be why you can ass !M03 but not 1A03.

If you haven't, you'll need to do Bio 1P03 first.
