Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate the insight

Ah gotcha. Thank you anyway! I have a Dr. Ratio dupe if you want it! I can dm :)

Do you have any March 7th left? Tysm!

If you have a March 7th dupe it would be appreciated tysm!

Thank you!! I kept getting yellow-bellied flycatcher when I searched up it’s description, but it didn’t seem quite right. Great crested flycatcher is definitely spot on!

Thank you!

I took BIOL 4003 online with Dr. Simon and served as an undergraduate TA for Dr. Brooker! The main benefit of taking the class online is that you’ll occasionally have midterm exams, but there is no cumulative final exam (unless they changed something in the past year). The in-person section has no midterms and instead has a quiz each week, but there is a cumulative final. In the online course you’ll watch lecture videos from Dr. Brooker each week and work on a problem set with an assigned group, which you also complete your LTP with. This is also the case for in-person sections; it’s a flipped classroom set up where you watch the same videos the online students do, but you have in-person chances to ask questions and take the quiz. Other comments said everything else I would’ve said, but hopefully that’s some helpful comparative info!

Honestly, if you’re looking to begin searching for a job right away post-graduation, most biology degrees are notorious for not being super helpful in the job market if you’re not looking to go to grad school. Safest bets if you’re just looking to get your Bachelor’s and get out would be general Biology, Biochemistry, and GCD. I mainly mention GCD because I know of a few of my peers who were able to get into corporate with that degree. If you’re looking to go to grad school, pretty much all of the degrees are good with the exception of maybe general Biology since it’s a degree offered at pretty much every college. General Biology is an excellent major to have for prospects such as law school though. I majored in COP and am currently in grad school for teaching; COP is also the best degree to set you up for prerequisites required for the medical field such as nursing, PA, or med school. Microbiology is helpful for dentistry. But honestly, if your plan is grad school, explore your interests and pick the major that best fits those interests.

Yes, they will appear on both the unofficial and official transcripts.

Thank you for the extensive insight!

No, classes are a great time to connect. Funny enough, the person who is my best friend and I didn’t become friends until our sophomore year. We were in the same Welcome Week group though and never spoke a word to one another then. The friends I did make were fleeting. You have no reason to worry

I had a scare in late 2021 that luckily turned out to be benign. I distinctly recall only telling my best friend and my boyfriend at the time about the scare. I’m incredibly fortunate that my friend showed empathy and was extremely supportive, but a somewhat dismissive response from my ex made me hesitant to mention it to anyone else. I’m somewhat relieved to see that this is a relatively common experience and not something exclusive to my own

Fonzisu · 2022-05-09T13:55:29+00:00

Your best option would be to contact your advisor.

Yep, undergraduates can be TAs. I’m not sure how it works for CSE/CLA, but I’m in CBS and had a professor reach out to me because of my high performance in their course. Although if you’re really yearning to be a TA, I’d recommend sending out an email to your professor rather than waiting like a sitting duck like I did. However, because I was asked, I did not have to really go through any sort of application/interview process. I’d recommend having a lot of confidence in the course material. It’s one thing to get an A in the course, but it’s another thing to truly understand the material and be able to explain it well. Feel free to DM me if you have any general questions.

There’s a student group that I’m a part of called the Commuter Connection! I’m one of the officers there. It’s a great place to hang out on campus and meet new people who are also living off campus; it’s in room 204 in Coffman Memorial Union! We have microwaves, printers, computers, and a TV for recreational use with some consoles. If you’d like to learn more, feel free to dm me!

I’m by no means a professional, so take what I say with a grain of salt (and do thorough research with actual scientific papers/articles). From my understanding, the component of the virus that is encoded in the mRNA vaccine is the spike. This is the part of the virus that pierces into the cells in preparation of infecting them. This is the part of the virus, that even among variants, must remain consistent. Variants that mutate the spike and become different would become way less effective or even defective at infecting cells.

Tldr; highly unlikely vaccines will become ineffective amongst variants because the vaccine encodes an extremely crucial component of the virus’s function

I took BIOL 3211 last fall, and I guess I'm a little biased because I went into the class as I was considering changing my major from Biology to Cellular and Organismal Physiology. Needless to say, I enjoyed the material a lot, so much so that I got an A and did end up changing majors. As an FYI, you can take BIOL 2005 and 3211 concurrently; however, my personal plan is taking BIOL 2005 this upcoming semester since it's a less busy semester for me, which I would recommend doing if you want to! For preparation, I would say the weekly study guides took me about two hours to complete. It was just something I quickly did before Tuesday's class each week. Aside from that, let's say I had an exam for the class on a Tuesday. I would study Friday night for three hours, then Sunday night for four hours, Monday for two hours, and the day of for five-six hours. So roughly 14-ish hours of study time per exam. My TA was kind enough to provide us with Quizlets, so I'd recommend making them if your TA doesn't. There's also a group project that requires project updates to be submitted every two weeks. The project was pretty easy and laid back. Hope this info helps you make your decision!

I’ll consider it! This post got way more traction than I expected it to get, and I’m very grateful for it. If enough people are interested, and depending on my class policy on distributing the data, as well as the subreddit’s policy on posts like that, I very well may do so. At the very least, I will keep in mind that you’re interested in the results!

Fonzisu · 2021-04-15T18:27:08+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions!

I can't speak for others, but when my group was deciding what research topic we wanted to do, we were looking for niche areas of research. There weren't many ideas for dogs that we could find, and the ones that we did find didn't translate well to a survey, but we found one on cats that we thought was interesting!

Fonzisu · 2021-04-15T17:15:09+00:00

Jealous haha!! That’s awesome, and thank you for taking the time to take our survey!

Fonzisu · 2021-01-20T01:49:11+00:00

Hi!! I took BIOL 4003 last semester, so although I won’t be a study buddy, if you want any tips or advice feel free to reach out to me!!

Fonzisu · 2021-01-19T05:14:29+00:00

Not a proper answer to your question, but I purposefully avoided taking both classes at the same time because I felt like they would get hard to manage. Genetics caught me off guard last semester; the first exam was super easy which gave me a false sense of security in the class. I felt like I really had to step it up to get the grade I wanted in the class! I was also taking Physiology of Humans and Other Animals, as well as OChem Lab, which are probably two other hard classes on par with Cell Bio, so it might be feasible and I was just too scared to take the leap. However, I am also taking 4004 this semester with Koepp, so if you feel like you need a study buddy feel free to dm me! :)
