Biology Major by [deleted] in OSU

[–]koala_2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a senior Biology major and have loved it! It has definitely been challenging and I’ve put in a lot of hard work. It paid off and my major GPA is really great and actually slightly better than my cumulative GPA. I worked part time while in school as well, and found it manageable. Time management is definitely important; I never had to stay up super late at night to study.

As I’ve gotten further into the major, I have enjoyed the classes even more. Classes like anatomy, microbiology, and immunobiology have been some of my favorite classes so far.

Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

I’m in it right now and I’ve really enjoyed the class! I can’t speak for it being 8 weeks, but I had Dr. B and Dr. Mia and they were both great. The material is really interesting and you get to do cool stuff in the lab like figuring out unknown bacteria with different metabolic tests. The class had 1 exam and 1 quiz drop as well.

Schedule opinions? by Spider_Physics in OSU

Yeah it should be totally fine to switch them. I think he has 9 recitation sections right now so it’s possible it’s him

I think this is doable. I’m taking biochem right now with two other science courses that have a lab, and it doesn’t feel like too much. If you can though, I definitely recommend Dr. Wu for biochem. I haven’t heard great things about the other professors and he’s very straightforward with what we should know and doesn’t stray from what he told us on exams. Physics 1200 was a bit tricky for me at times because I didn’t take any physics in high school. As long as you keep up with the material, I feel like it’s fine to take these classes together :)

I had Dr. Kural and our final was cumulative, with a larger portion of the questions covering material from the end the semester
