Hey,

If you could give me some advice on the prof's, the layout and even my choices of breaks would be great!
thanks!

If you can wake up for those labs you should be fine, albeit its a bit spread out. It really depends on your preference on how you want to setup the day. Personally I like to have everything done as soon as possible so I can have the rest of the day to study and do other things and what not. For example you could maybe move your psych 1X02 tutorial to that huge gap in Thursday.

For chem 1AA3, you'll probably enjoy having Dr. Lock as a professor, myself included and many others do as well. You might also want to switch the enviro sci lab to another time because sleeping in is awesome and would make for a great Tuesday in term 2.

Yeah I agree it's a little spread out, mine was more clumped together first year but remember SOLAR will choose the cores/labs/tutorials for you, maybe you'll even like what SOLAR choose more. And sometimes you won't be able to switch back into what you originally wanted, for example I wanted Dr. Lock first year but didn't get her and her core was full so I couldn't switch.

Also for chem is you're in lab 17 (for example) that's also your tutorial #. They alternate, one week you'll have lab, the next a tutorial. Tutorials aren't mandatory so you can pretty much go to any one you want. Just letting you know!

I think everything else is good, I know there's been a lot of talk about when to take bio 1M03 and 1A03 and I think you made a good choice!

Everything is okay but I'd be worried about the labs a little, unless you're good at getting up early in the morning. I'm not a morning person so 8:30 labs were never good for me although I did have a few.

Yes, when you chose your classes you chose which semester you want them in and then on August 9th personal timetables will come out and you can see exactly what your timetable looks like which has been chosen by SOLAR. At this time you will have the opportunity to change things around if you want/can.

There are different profs teaching each term I think.. so it just depends on who who you want.
