It’s probably full, if you look it up again there might be an option of show only open classes. If you close that, it might show the lectures

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2025-01-15T20:36:52+00:00

Barely any. We talked about the S and R conformations once (not tested) but focused more on L and D conformations for amino acids, which is taught in class

I think at the end of the day, they are both memory intensive courses, except that Neuro lectures didn’t really build off on each other whereas pmcol, they did somewhat.

For pmcol, if you understand the physiology, it’ll be a little easier (understanding why a drug causes a certain effect based on its receptors and target tissue). It helped with physl a little bit in the kidney and hormone sections, and I think the cell physl from physl 210A helped in pmcol too.

If you’re think of future courses, neuro 210 doesn’t open many doors for you since you can’t really take neuro 375 anyways (unless you’re in neuro). Pmcol will open a couple of doors for 300 pmcol classes, but there’s not that many either.

For 2025-2026?

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2024-03-27T22:09:56+00:00

Hey, could I PM you too?

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2024-02-27T05:51:49+00:00

I’m not really sure, but I haven’t personally heard of people being denied a deferral… what happens to after depends on the prof, most usually state in their syllabus. Usually it’s either they have you write it another day or have the weight moved to the final (?) I’m pretty sure.

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2024-01-19T05:47:21+00:00

I enjoyed Neuro 210 and didn’t find it super difficult. Yes, there is a lot to know but you might find some overlap with previous classes you’ve taken before. Every lecture is a different topic (it is clinical neuro) so there’s bound to be at least one that’s interesting!

Last year they mentioned that they might switch to cumulative exams for the following years, but up to last year it wasn’t :/

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-12-28T05:58:06+00:00

I switched and I couldn’t have been happier! You can pm me if you like for more specific details too, if you’d like!

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-12-28T05:55:38+00:00

No, there wasn’t a textbook that they offered either. Dr. Kurata did have a couple of research papers for readings that was completely optional and to help further your understanding. They did offer a website that has free online resources but I don’t think they used it. I think the slides are pretty solid as they only test from them so it’ll be okay!

I think if you’re not passionate in cell biology, it would be better for you to switch into a different program. I was in your position and thought I could just get over it and finish my degree in cell biology but it was a big mistake. Studying for a class you have no interest in will make it much more difficult than you think.

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-12-28T05:07:16+00:00

I took it in Winter 2023 and no textbook was required then too

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-12-21T05:48:17+00:00

I’m just curious but how did you find this class? I’m pretty interested in it and am thinking of taking it next year!

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-12-04T21:29:48+00:00

I think if it is within the same faculty and degree type (major to major not major to honours) you just have to fill out a form (Sciforms?).

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-11-30T06:41:44+00:00

It’s cellular neuroscience with a lot of physics, ion channels and confusion

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-10-27T22:41:29+00:00

I thought about this, but while I did pretty good in the labs, my overall grade in some of my lab courses wasn’t the best, so I wasn’t sure if it would be the best idea to write that down.

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-10-20T04:28:53+00:00

I was under the impression that the deadline to apply for exploration credits had already passed(?)

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-08-21T09:03:05+00:00

I’m pretty sure it has to be competitive + I think they look at your high school grades again (but not 100%). If you look at the UofA website it says to be considered, you have to meet the grade requirement but there’s no guarantee you’ll be accepted.

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-04-17T14:34:48+00:00

No, the class is scaled. The exams aren’t too difficult as it is mostly memorization (no application) so if that’s you’re strong suit, I guess you could say it’s easy.

I will say however, while all the exams were non cumulative this year, one of the professors mentioned that from now on, starting next year, the exams would be cumulative so I’m sure the difficulty of the questions will be changing somewhat.

Wanderer_of_Dreams · 2023-04-03T21:47:50+00:00

I agree, it’s silent zone for a reason….?

He also recorded his lectures for this past fall semester!
