There is a lot of content in this course, but if you're good at straight memorization then you'll be fine. The lab quizzes are quite easy if you study a little for them, and the midterm was very fair. Overall its a time consuming course but you can get 90+ if you're willing to put the time/effort in.

Great 300 level course if you enjoy learning about anatomy. Has 1 midterm, lab quizzes (really simple, similar to BIOL 110), and a final. Midterm and final were all multiple choice. Questions were straightforward, majority coming from the course notes, and a small portion from the textbook. Lots of memorization involved, but that's to be expected considering it's an anatomy course.

Extremely interesting course, amount of memorization is quite difficult if you leave it to the last minute. Can get a good mark if you put in the effort.

The concepts of this course were simple but it was pure memorization. Vivian is a b**** when it comes to spelling for her fill in the blank sections on the midterm and the final. If you buy into the mastering anatomy and do the 5 super simple quizzes you can get 5% of your final grade guaranteed. There was also a super short assignment involved easy to get 100 on. Midterm wasn't hard material, just a lot remember and SPELLING!!!
The lab component was easy and short, never there for the full time. Easy dissections and the lab final/mini quizzes are good practice for getting acquainted with some of the terms before the class final.
Class final consisted of 120marks, multiple choice and fill…Dec 2018 · liked itOn UW FlowRemove this
This is definitely a useful course to take!!! You will have to put in an effort for a good grade, but besides the final exam the course is not stressful. The labs were actually enjoyable, with oral quizzes at the end of each. This term mice, a cow eye, and sheep organs (e.g. heart) were dissected. Doing the MAP assignments option is recommended for a free 5%.

What is the hardest course you took in waterloo 29 points, 66 comments
u/throwawayTAOrgo: “Probably BIOL 301 (now BIOL 201) or BIOL 303. 303 was probably hardest because of midterms and exams, but 301 had so much memorization💀”

BIOL 301 vs KIN100 2 points, 5 comments
u/RealisticKinStudent: “I took KIN 100 in 1st year and BIOL 301 in 4th year. Both marks were pretty good from what I recall, but I did slightly better in BIOL 301. I think BIOL 301 is easier despite it having a mandatory lab component. KIN 100L is a separate course.”

bio 301?? 1 point, 7 comments
“someone told me a few years ago that you would have to take the lab with the course? is it still like that?”
u/jxies: “yeah it is! the lab is part of the course so you get one mark overall for biol 301 with the lab comprising about 30% of your final grade”
