Our Feedback:

  • Highly recommend attending the Biology Mentorship Program’s weekly workshop and exam reviews! They go through practice problems and help highlight some important concepts from each lesson. They are run by upper year students who have all taken the course, thus each mentor is experienced and knowledgeable on the topic. 

  • Use the outcomes given to guide your studying and learning.

  • Labs/tutorials are pass or fail, but the TAs are sometimes quite specific with their marking - try to do well on these! They make up a good chunk of your mark (around 20% from my memory)
