k so i have a couple random academic/1st year questions:

1) does the biology program require a full course load over the year, as such lets say i take 2 courses over summer school, then do i have the option of only taking 8 over the year (so 4 on each term) or do i have to take the full course load of 10 courses?

2) i was talking to a friend and tried looking online for this info but could not find it...but basically i know that most med schools dont look at/count summer courses, only mac does apparently. so lets say i take orgo during the summer then does that mean that med schools other than mac, wont look at orgo or will they simply look for pass/fail and not count that into gpa

3) also i plan on taking bio 2b03 + one other course during first summer term. the 2 courses im deciding b/w are thtr 1t03 taught by COCKETT, P, or hlth age 1aa3 taught by ANDREWS, G, has anyone taking these b4 ( in the summer or over the year), are they hard/easy, and how is the course load. also how are these profs??

thanks\

1T03 is really easy, we had a 350 word essay, 4-5 page essay, 15 mintute group presentation (about 3 minutes each), a really short multiple choice midterm and a 2 hour exam. The course is interesting as well IMO I recommend it. Cockett is a great prof too

1t03 is very interesting and pretty easy, you really analyze plays/films though so dont think its just watching movies and stuff ! julianface said it pretty well for workload. cockett is a really good prof though!
health age 1aa3 is okay, im taking it now with dr penner, and we had 4 tests (no exam), 2 questions every week in tutorial and 2 assignments (3 pages each on a topic/movie we discussed/watched in class). the workload is realllllly light it barely took any time to do the qs/assignments, but i'm finding it to be somewhat dry, maybe i'm just not as interested in health. we've focused on the healthcare system/history of the healthcare system, and how people in other cultures perceive health
i guess it depends what your interested in. if you really like theatre/film type classes then take that, its a really good class. but if youre interested in health and the healthcare system, 1aa3 could possibly be beneficial for you
hope that helps !

I can answer the first question. There's no requirement stating that you need to take a full course-load. You do need 24-units to be considered a full-time student so as long as you have those 8 courses and you graduate with all the required courses and 120 units, you're good

took both courses last term and thtr & flm 1t03 is by far the easiest of the two. i dont think you'll have to do the presentation cause there is no tutorial for this course in the summer.

cool thx alot for the info, i think ill go with to3, mostly cus it sounds more interesting than the health...by any chance does anyone have the syllabus for thtr 1t03, or even bio 2bo3?? it would be really appreciated thx alot
