Life Sci: Am i going to get wrecked with this schedule?
 So i picked my courses, and now im kind of worried that im just gonna die because its too much... As it stands right now, as a life sciences 1 student:
Semester 1
Bio 1AO3
Chem 1AO3
Psych 1XO3
Kin 1YO3
Math 1LS3
Semester 2
Bio 1MO3
Chem 1AA3
Psych 1XX3
Kin 1YY3
Physics 1BO3
Does this seems to hard? and what about the fact that i would have 3 labs/semester!
Thanks for your input!  |

Pretty normal just like the hundreds of other life science students.

I had a similar schedule and the workload was fine. There's a lot of required courses in first year so pretty much all Life Sci students will have the same 6/10 courses (at least). You'll be fine .
Also, keep in mind that labs are bi-weekly so you won't necessarily have 3 labs per week! Also, Kin 1Y03/1YY3 labs are just attendance marks, you don't have to hand in a lab report or anything!

Yeah, and I'm fairly certain that like 80% has 8/10 of the same courses :\ or very similar courses (Math 1LS3 or Math 1A03, and Physics 1B03 or Physics 1L03).

No, that's the tutorial. You have a weekly quiz in a computer lab on Friday.
There are actual labs; you complete a pre-lab quiz online, but only receive those marks if you show up for the lab. |
