Biol 153 @ UBC

Hi!

I'm a first year science student at UBC. I'm split between going to UBC and BCIT for nursing school. (Leaning more towards BCIT now.) But I want to keep my options open by taking Biol 153 just in case I suddenly decide to go into UBC nursing.

I have heard that the winter session is less overwhelming than the summer session as it is less condensed; however, I'm worried that I would not be able to keep up with it while taking my other classes. Also, I've heard that the final in April for the winter session is cumulative from September, is that true?

I'm thinking that the summer session would be better since it's only 2 months and it'll be easier to remember the material taught at the beginning of the course. What do you guys think?

If anyone has any advice or anything, please let me know. I hope to hear from you guys soon!

Thanks! :)

    Hey!

    I'm currently a second year student at UBC in the faculty of arts. I took BIO 153 last summer and personally I found the course a little overwhelming. It basically consisted of 3 hour lectures Monday, Wednesday and Friday as well as a 3 hour lab on Fridays. I found the lab extremely easy but I found the lectures tried to cover too much material in a single class and everything was a little too rushed.

    As long as you really apply yourself to this class and do a lot of studying on your own time, the summer semester shouldn't be too hard. However, if you feel you need more instruction and time to learn the material I would suggest taking it during the regular semesters.

    :)
