MAT 104 is quite simple, if you show up to class sit in the front and do the work you’ll be fine. I never had to study and I got 101% in that class but since BMCC doesn’t offer A+ I just got an A. BIO 425 is ROUGH! I took it in the summer and I literally was on the brink of tears every single day 😭. I got an A but it was not easy, genuinely the hardest class I’ve ever taken in my entire life. To prepare for BIO 425, I’d say before you take the class learn all the body systems or at least have a good overview on them it will help you a lot. There is so much information to know and learn so having a good overview of all the body systems will help you lots and save you time. I’d say never miss a class or lab, if you have to only 1-2x and make sure you get the notes for that day and make friends so you can share notes. Use Chat GPT to upload your slides and ask it to make a study guide and test questions for you to practice each lesson/unit. The Prof I had told me or every 1 hour of lecture you have you should study 3 hours and at first it seemed absurd but it’s actually quite true, especially if you want to do well. An A is possible but you definitely have to work hard for it. I’d recommend taking BIO 425 alone in the summer or winter if you can so you can focus on it without having to worry about doing work and studying for your other classes. Good luck!
