heavy second sem?
i'm going into second year life sci and was wondering if my second sem looked heavier in terms of workload compared to my first sem.
i thought i might switch neuro or social for a lighter course and if i switch neuro i would take life sci 2ee3 instead of biochem, so i can still fullfill the 3 required second year life sci courses. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
sem 1: abnormal psych, orgo, stats, research methods, life sci 2d03 (behaviour)
sem 2: social psych, physics 1b03, biochem 2ee3, life sci 2c03 (neuro), life sci 2b03 (cell bio)

Physics 1B03: Very little workload, CAPA doesn't take very long and you can do it in groups. Just make sure you understand how to answer the question. Labs are easy, pre-labs take a couple minutes.
Biochem 2EE3: No workload. Studying for tests and exams could take some time, you'll want to memorize most of the material on the slides.
Life Sci 2B03: Varying workload. It depends on the prof you get. The most workload you'll get it summarizing 5 summary articles. Takes some time, but it can be done in 1 night (roughly 5-6 hours).
I don't know anything about the other courses in semester 2.

Check the course reviews if you want info on the specific courses, but it doesn't seem like much of an imbalance. |

It doesn't look bad at all.

2c03 is only hard if you don't know how to answer Dr.Ostovich's question's properly.
Cell bio is easy and so is biochem 2-easy-3.
