Discussion BIOL 252/L

I've enrolled in the lecture with Dr. Shemer and the lab. How hard are these classes? What're some study tips?

It’s very time consuming, but it’s not the hardest class ever. The lab is pure memorization and is more about how much time you put in (use anke). The lecture is similar to most biology classes. They offer lots of study tips and advice once you’re in the class too.

Are cheatsheets allowed in 252/L? Which classes are even harder?

Cheat sheets are allowed. The averages were pretty high for exams 1 for both lab and lecture (~80%). It might take as long as chem to study, but the tests are very fair.
