I was wondering, in terms of course load/work, which one is a lighter load. I believe both courses are memorization based, which is fine, but i have a heavy second sem, so I wanted to know, which one might be less time consuming. thanks

Depends on who is teaching mol bio 3hh3.
Biochem 3h03 I've heard is hell. The material is interesting but requires a super amount of time so you definitely want to avoid that if you don't want to make your 2nd semester nay heavier.
I took mol bio 3hh3. It wasn't bad at all because I had Dr.Dej teaching it. The material can be tough though if somebody else is teaching it...i imagine. It felt as if Dr. Dej gave us easy midterms, she could've definitely tested in way more detail.

Well, you know for sure that biochem 3h03 is going to be hard.
Also, biochem 3h03 is 8:30 in the morning. that's further incentive for you to stay away from that course.
Perhaps you should consider taking something else as an elective. Maybe biochem 2ee3 or 3g03 lol.
