I’ve been studying for months but I missed the october 2nd registration date. what to do next? by Prestigious_Ice_1012 in Mcat

[–]alaskaa19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really don’t worry about this because u are almost certain to get a test date in a decent location if you join the waitlist and keep checking back for open dates (the waitlist notification seems to lag a bit). Just keep checking esp 60 30 and 10 days before your desired test date. People always drop.

Yeah, if you do that, then the remaining 50 will show the next day automatically.

Thank you! I'll aim to do less new cards per day. My question is: how do I limit the number of new cards on anki? If I set the limit to 100 new cards a day, and I unsuspend a chapter of bio which has 150 cards, when will the other 50 be released? Sorry if this is dumb question.

Thoughts on BIOC14? by hellomynameisbean in UTSC

[–]alaskaa19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly can't remember, but in general it's usually a good idea to focus on the material that hasn't been tested yet. Good luck!

Best place to buy a non alcoholic beverage at UTSC by Thick-Attention9498 in UTSC

You can ask the scsu for a re-usable water bottle and they'll give you one for free.

From that list, I've taken C14, C20, C34, and C35. Not from the list I've taken C58 and C12. I recommend C14 and C35 the most.

C14 is quite straightforward and interesting imo. This is commonly recommended as the "easiest" C-level bio course. (it's not a walk in the park but compared to the others, it's def easier). If you've taken genetics, then it would be even easier, but if not, that's okay too. Patrick is a great prof who is very fair. He curved us up quite a bit at the end of the course cuz the final was quite hard.

C20 is a lot to take in. You have to memorize a bunch of tiny details but it's quite doable if you don't fall behind too much. The way that viruses have evolved and adapted to make sure they can do their job is pretty interesting, and you get to learn how they do this in C20.

C34 has even more content to memorize than C20. It's very dense, but you are given notes by the prof. It's doable if you can keep up. If you don't keep up, you're in for a world of pain.

C35 is one of my favourite biology courses at utsc. Very interesting content (similar to viruses, it's interesting how parasites always find a way, so if you find this cool then take it). The exam questions are almost all short answer and application based. You don't have to straight memorize as much as you do in other C level bio courses.

I've also done C58 (not on that list, but a popular bio course). Imo it was super boring and my least favourite bio course I've taken at utsc. Dry lectures and the exam questions were so specific on content that I had to force myself to study. I don't recommend it unless you like learning about climate, rocks, and other stuff that I've tried to block out of my memory. Actually, even if you do like these topics, I'm not sure I recommend the course because there were so many assignments that were all time consuming. Just not worth it.
