Thanks.
Is there a lab/tutorial for that course? If so, as long as you get into lab/tutorial, you'll get into the course. Doesn't matter if you're #1 on waitlist for the lecture. You want to get into the lab/tutorial

One reason is because UBC tends to offer every class all year round vs SFU who sometimes offers a core/required class once or twice a year.

According to the course outline, it seems like BPK105 is only about the different systems of the body, like BISC101/GR12 BIO - is this true?

Anyone take BPK143 distance ed? How was it?
BPK 105 vs BISC 101. They're different courses. Only part that is similar is that they both go over the skeletal system. I took BISC101 5 years ago so they could've changed it over the years. 105 is focused on humans only whereas 101 is more cells, animals, and plants. So essentially, you'll be learning an extension of what you've learned in bio 12 (lungs + heart) and new things (CNS, immune, digestive).
