Hey, compared to school during the year, how much more difficult would you say summer school is?

Really depends. Try not to take hard courses that are required for your program if possible. Do easy elective GPA boosters instead..

yeah i guess i shouldn't take bio 121 then eh? I heard from ppl that there's a good prof for it that teaches only during the summer, but then again, its only a prerequisite for me, and I can always take it during the school term. I just need to pass..

A bunch of my friends are doing a core course for the summer term, and it has like a midterm and a final both worth 50% lol, I'm like fuck no...

Depends definitely. At my school, I'm taking human anatomy/o-chem for bio .. faired out much better than the winter students so far.. As far as my business courses are going, I'm getting mashed with tons of finals and presentations, plus papers... Talk to people who have taken it already would be my best advice. Some courses are easier, some are harder if you have to learn it so quickly and can't absorb the info as well.

anyone got any opinions on O-chem teachers? I'm dreading this course... especially from everything I have heard from my school, it seems like the killer

one thing i noticed while driving to UBC everyday is that the light at 16th avenue and southwest Marine drive changes quite fast so if u see cars waiting, you can be sure that the light is gona change (super responsive) meaning u shud let go off the gas and prepare to brake. Kinda anoying i u ask me
