Third year Biology or Biochem Courses
Hello!
Just wondering what are some good 3rd year biology courses to take?
I want to take it as an elective; nothing too heavy and possibly easy to 12 it if i put enough effort.

Or biochemistry courses if possible? (biochem 3g03 is out of the question, because i already took that ) But I think in general, biochem is more difficult than biology courses

Thank you and feedbacks would be appreciated

A lot of the third year biology courses are quite dense and content heavy, but are still possible to do well in. Courses like Bio 3P03 may contain some difficult material, but if you study well, you will do well. Other courses like 3U03, 3UU3, 3XL3 all seem quite difficult (I haven't taken any of these yet), but again they are not automatic double digit courses. As for biochem, I have heard that 3H03 is easy to do well in and it has great relation to clinical biology. Some fourth year courses like Nutrition and Molecular membrane biology involve a lot of material, but are straight forward.

Hey

I really loved Mol bio 3H03 it's a really interesting course with many chances to get marks.
Biochem 4M03 (which used to be biochem 3N03) is a fantastic course as well

I would expect the ecology type courses (3DD3, 3SS3) to be somewhat easier maybe?
Don't take my word for it though, I'm just entering third year bio now and haven't taken any yet.
This semester I'm taking Physio 3U03 and Evolution 3FF3, but both of those will be hard :/
