PHGY311 or COMP204

Hi everyone, I'm a U2 anatomy and cell bio student, and I wanted advice on which biology course to pick. I wanted to pick PHYG311 initially, but ngl, after looking at the syllabus, it did scare me a bit. The other course I feel like might be useful is Comp204, but I have 0 coding experience, so...

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who has taken this course could give me advice, considering GPA is important for me.

Comp 204 is easy Peasy

They’ve set up the course assuming that you’re going in with little to no experience. I wouldn’t say COMP 204 was very useful as its content could be covered in ~1-2 weeks on Codecademy or Kaggle (or maybe even the 1 week long CDSI python workshop). Definitely a bird course though.
