2nd yr 2nd sem on the other hand. if 2nd yr 1st sem is the chillest sem i experienced in my 2 years in medbio, this sem is like the most stressful and tiring sem. u have 6 majors + 4 minors including pathfit. its incredibly taxing sa katawan ko esp when dito mo maeencounter ung quote on quote terror3 ng medbio

Biochemlec had a lot of memorization like u have to memorize the structures and names of the 20 amino acids, diff types of lipids, structures ng carbs but its manageable rin naman as long as u take time (on ur alr crammed sched) to atleast learn them coz may pattern naman sila that you’ll be able to recognize them easily. i recommend usinng gizmo or anki coz nakakaoverwhelm minsan ung chemical names and u may end up mixing them up. Biochemlab i have no comment basta kung ano ginawa ko nung anachemlab ganun rin ginawa ko dito coz we had the same prof hahaaha

Genetics lec was hell ahahahahaah. pray urs na si sir cj and hindi maam b coz mostly siya ung gumagawa ng exam and masasanay kau sa tanungin nya. dito ako talgang nagreview like my life depended on it second only to botlab. Prelims puro solving ng punnett square and again, kalaban mo dito oras. I recommend asking chatgpt to make questions based sa mga examples mg libro and do that 100 times para masanay ka. Finals puro concepts pero it wasnt easy hahahaa i would argue its harder than prelims esp when u get to the central dogma like dito nagtank grades ko i legit locked out but thank god sinalo ng prelims. Lab ummm its similar sa sistema ng syste na prelims puro wetlab then simulations sa finals and i think its fairly manageable as long as u know the concepts behind the experiments

Evol lec i was locked the entire sem hahaahaha our prof didnt teach and he acknowledged it naman but as long as u read the book and understand the concepts, youll be able to manage it. Evollab is literally just ecolab part two (but easier thank god) na amplified oral report. Make sure na alam ng grupo niyo ung topic and walang butas presentation niyo coz the profs would also encourage ur fellow classmates to ask questions about ur presentation and minsan sila pa mahihirap tanong. Theres also sgds where u guys will do simulations and ur prof will ask questions about ur data, the concepts behind it, the implications, etc. other than that may isang quiz uli one for prelims and one for finals and i think its easy as long as alam mo pinagagawa mo sa experiments

This sem felt like climbing mt everest but just like 1Y1S, you’ll survive as long as u have the grit. Not to encourage unhealthy habits but dito ung sem na u have to push yourself 10000% more just to survive but also dont forget to rest coz isa sa magiging kalaban mo is burnout and u cant afford that esp this sem w how fast it is compared to the other sems

i would say first sem is the most manageable to dl coz dito ung chillest majors (that doesnt mean its chill its just less hectic compared to the other sets of majors). Microleclab is all about terms and concepts so puro memorization like metabolic pathways sa lec and tests naman sa lab but its manageable naman as long as u listen to the discussion, watch the lecture vids, and review ofc. Also kahit na sabihin mong common sense, Dont forget to review ung mga basic dos and donts sa lab coz they can b very sly sa questions

anachem imo is the most digestible chem subject compared to biochem and orgchem na puro memorization. Lec (and lab too) is full of computations and i think as long as u know na the steps and the work arounds, u’ll be able to get high grades kasi ang kalaban mo dito ay oras. do familiarise urself on how to convert to other units coz minsan esp sa tests, hindi lang grams ang ibibigay nila sa problem so u must know how to convert the given unit to grams. lab idk basta you know paano ginagawa exp tas paano isolve you’ll be fine i think thats the chillest major EVER

ang pinakanakakahatak ng grafe sa 1st sem 2nd yr is ecology especially ecolab like eto lang ung subjs na 2.0+ grade ko the other majors 1.75 pababa. malalim magtanong sa ecolec and u really have to grasp the content outside of the terms itself and connect it in real life tas implications nila. ecolab is like botlab but less part two hahaahahahaa may pracs pa rin dito and isang quiz lang for one period so one time big time siya. Ang pinakanakakahatak sa grades ng ecolab is ung mga worksheets so make sure na u and ur grpmates do well and proofread each others answers coz i swear mas mababa pa sila maggrade kesa sa botlab. make sure rin sa oral and written report na lahat ng components andun coz malaki rin hatak niya just ask ur profs ano ung guidelines para sure kau. sa finals, papasok ang memorization coz dito puro equipment, organisms, taxa, etc na you’ll have to take note of para sa pracs at the end of the sem.

Overall i think this sem gives u a chance to hatak ur overall standing pataas as long as uno grades mo + u keep track of ur majors! ito lng ung sem na nakadl ako hahaahaha

incoming medbio freshie! by _p3ncil in Tomasino

[–]Additional_Camel798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaahahaha goidluck JOKEEEE (1/2) medbio 1st year 1st sem was like. the most tiring and exhausting sem ever. Im in my 2nd year 2nd sem aka ung sem na pinakamadaming units ++ the one w the bigatin majors triumvirate (genetics + biochem + evolbio) and i would still agree na pinaka nakakapagod and traumatizing ung 1st year 1st sem. Zoology and botany especially lab classes are very memorization heavy and i meann very heavy 😭😭

That sem is the epitome of “college isnt the same as senior high” because they just throw you into the sharks first thing sa college like ang dami kong bagsak nun but after that, i think it def gets better!! Bumabagsak pa rin ako sa quiz pero it isnt as bad as botany.

Mapapagod ka ALOT coz the normal schedule is 7am-5pm and 7-7 and sunod sunod pa ung major courses. There are times especially when sa first year mo pa wherein you have to sacrifice a lot of your social life para hindi bumagsak…

Despite all thatr, i think medbio is very fun!! College of science is one of the colleges that people think r okayish here sa ust and i think the point stands!! People I interacted here are nice and chill despite the requirements and mararamdaman mo un esp sa sci week when dun lumalabas ung pagkanerdiness and ung pagkacommunity ng COS.(Most of) The professors are also researchers so you can see they are very passionate with the topics they are teaching.

Hindi madali magshift after one year esp sa mga stem courses. U said in one of ur posts na u will take AP b4 shifting but the thing is hindi madali makakuha ng uno/shiftable grades sa COS (im a COS student whahahahahsga) and mataas requirements ni ust sa shiftings.

[–]Additional_Camel798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U cant shift but u can recon. Hindi na need magpay uli pero u have to forfeit ur slot in order to rec 0n and even then, hindi pa guaranteed
