What was your favorite Biology course?

Cell Bio with Eisen or any class with Beck

Which Bio course was most challenging, in your opinion?

Cell Bio with Eisen is challenging in the way that it forces you to think outside of the box. There is no right answer, which is terrifying but helpful in developing your critical-thinking skills. Also it’s nice that you can just make things up and if what you say is logical, it’s right. I would definitely recommend this class to any freshman.

Would you suggest taking bio and chem in the same semester? 

Go for it – if you’re smart with your time, it’s no problem. I always felt like people underestimated how much work students can accomplish their freshman year if they’re smart about staying on top of everything. If you take them both and get them out of the way, you have more time to focus on things that actually interest you rather than taking a bunch of lame intro courses.
