Oops, I guess I forgot to edit my post. Yeah, I saw a few courses which required 2AO3 and what the heck, I survived 1A03 after all. -.-

Now just to get onto that thrice-accursed MUGSI...ugh. :(

I have these courses:

Term 1: Bio 2EE3, Bio 2D03, Chem 2OA3, Stats 2B03, Biochem 2B03

Term 2: Bio 2A03, Bio 2B03, Bio 2C03, Biochem 2EE3, Chem 2OB3

I am particularly worried about second semester. Is it recommended that I take all three biology courses at once? Will I be able to stay on top of things and end up with an okay mark (10 +)?

Bio 2EE3 is mostly memorization. Bio 2D03 is quite straight forward, shouldn't have any problems with it. Orgo just requires practice as well as Stats (fairly easy I've heard). As for Biochem 2B03, I heard it's pretty rigorous, but haven't taken it myself. Overall the term isn't too bad though.
However with respect to term 2, keep in mind that for Bio 2A03 you have bi-weekly labs and 3 midterms, 2B03 has an essay and 2 midterms, and Bio 2C03 has an essay+presentation as well as 2 midterms so not the easiest workload. Also, I remember getting advice from a few upper years to separate both Bio 2A and 2B into different terms. Also, when you add Orgo and Biochem, it could be a heavy term. I suggest you consider taking Bio 2B03 or 2C03 in the summer and replace one with an "easy" elective.

sem1: bio 2L03, bio 2F03, bio 2B03, physics 1bb3, chem 2oa3

sem2: bio 2a03, bio 2c03, biochem 2ee3, stats 2b03, chem 2ob3

will i die?

P.S. my goal is to drop biochem 2ee3 and get into linear algebra then move bio 2b03 to second term

EDIT...updated goals

It would help if you maybe separated them into the two terms you'll be taking them in, because some courses are offered in both terms

So I already know I have a fairly crappy timetable, which is mainly because a lot of my courses only have one core so I'm kind of stuck. Regardless of this, I just wanted some feedback or suggestions from others.

Thanks

Check my timetable please :)
So Im a 2nd year student going into Honours Life Sci. Oh and im gonna live in Brandon Hall
I know the 2nd term class at 8.30 IN ABB is a bit crazy but i dont have any other cores for it and it is a required course so yeah :(
Also in term 2, im trying to change my Relig St 2H03 to Econ 1B03 on the 11th of July so I have put up both courses just in case Most of my courses (actually all except Econ) have only one core so im pretty much stuck with this timetable except for the tutorials
Also if you could just give me some background info on the courses im taking i'd be grateful (looked them up on course review but a bit more info wouldnt hurt )

Thanks in advance!

I think you should move the Humanities 2C03 tutorial to another time/day and have Thursday free after 8:30! Also, your timetable just has term 2, not 1 :/

Timetable Check Please.
I'm a little confused at the moment on balancing both my terms.
These are the courses I have got on Solar/Mugsi:

Term 1:
• Biology 1A03
• Kin 1Y03
• MedRadSc 1A03
• Econ 1B03
• Econ 1BB3

Term 2:
• Math 1LS3
• Kin 1YY3
• MedRadSc 1B03
• MedRadSc 1C03
• MedRadSc 1D03


I was hoping to get Math 1LS3 into 1st Term so I could have an Econ in each term instead of both in Term 2. Would this be possible for me?

I've attached my Mock Timetable. Please advise, thanks in advance!

First term is actually not bad at all. I envy your 12:30 start! There isn't much to change in term 1 since I'm pretty sure all the courses have just 1 core. However, for your Peach St 2A03 tutorial, why don't you move it to Tuesday at 1:30. That way, you have 1 less 1-hour break and a light Friday. Also, Thursday afternoons are insane! So make sure you're ready for that: get a snack/grab lunch etc.
As for 2nd term, there isn't much that can be done, but it's pretty light overall b/c of the 2 night classes, so it shouldn't be too bad if you head to the library between classes and whatnot, especially on your Wednesday breaks.

Thank you for the feedback!

For the Peace St 2A03 tutorial, the reason I've planned to have it Friday is just because I commute and for first year I only had 1 class on Fridays both terms and rarely ever went because I felt it was such a waste of time to make the trip to campus for it. It would definitely be nice to get rid of that 1 hour break, but I'm not sure if I will. Ya Thursdays are going to be a drag, I'll have to bring lots of snacks for sure lol.

Ya 2nd term I plan to make good use of my Wednesday breaks, I'm just hoping it's not too exhausting since I commute and I've never taken night classes before.

No, it isn't possible.

All the lectures for MATH 1LS3 in Term 1 conflict with either MEDRADSC 1A03 or KIN 1Y03.
