Biology 1A03 and 1M03
I was just wondering if there is a biology I have to take first term and then second term. If it is not mandatory which I take when, do you have any reccomend taking 1A03 or 1M03 first term?

It doesn't matter whar order you take them just as long as you don't take both in 1 semester.
Note: Taking both of them in one semester is doable, but your workload will be heavy.

I took Bio1a03 first term and 1M03 second term. I'll recommend this because majority of the content from 1a03 was review from highschool. This allowed me to have a smoothe transition from highschool to Uni with respect to biology. Keep in mind that you wouldn't be at an advantage or disadvantage by taking Bio 1a03 before 1mo3(an viceversa). Hope this helps!

Nope, there's no constraint on whichever you take. Personally, I took M03 first and then A03, but it could be whichever. If you want to narrow it down, maybe try looking at the profs who are teaching in each term. Good luck!

I agree with this post. I thought taking Bio 1A03 then 1M03 worked well for me, however, I didn't try them the other way around, so I can't comment on that! More importantly though, look into who's teaching each term and look up reviews on here on the two courses to get an idea about which profs are better and such.

gotta agree with Purple2309
its good to ease into uni bio with A03 first and them M03 after
in the end I really dont think it will make much of a difference though- just try not to take them in the same term because it will busy up your schedule

They teach 2 different things. It doesn't matter which one you go with first.
