  • The course covers a lot of new content, especially for an engineering student who hasn't done bio since grade 11. However not too bad overall. TA was goated tho, which helped a lot.

  • Took this course online in 2020. Although it was called biochemistry, the course was a basic high school level review of biology. Had a focus on presentations. Ended up being a bird course.
    This might've been an exception from the norm though due to early Covid era, so YMMV

  • This course has a LOT of content. It's a very interesting course with very different material than you may have previously seen, however it will require a great deal of effort to master everything that the course has to offer. Taking this at the same time as quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, advanced calculus and the other courses in 2A was often frustrating however, as I often felt that there was not enough time to learn the concepts or explore any of the course in depth. For me, this was the most difficult course in 2A even though I had done very well in NE 122.
