This was a challenging course:\u00a0 two labs a week, difficult exams, lots of Chemistry, and a good number of mathematical concepts covered as well (such as probability). There was almost no time to catch your breath.<\/p>\n
Principles of Biology<\/em> was not exactly relevant to my major, but serves as another example of a class provided a patchwork of sorts for the very incomplete education I received in high school. Also, in some ways I consider this class as being another Chemistry course, much in the same way as I regard my Materials Science<\/em> class. Since I was unable to complete the Biology series (which includes Zoology and Botany), this class supplemented the strong foundation in Chemistry I had been developing at the time through General Chemistry<\/em> and Organic Chemistry<\/em>, granting me an understanding as to how living systems receive and harvest energy through many incredibly complex chemical reactions and biological processes. <\/p>\n Aside from first semester Physics, this was perhaps the most intense and demanding lower division class I took.<\/p>\n Cell Size Limits of the Six Kingdoms<\/a> BIOL1 — Principles of Biology This was a challenging course:\u00a0 two labs a week, difficult exams, lots of Chemistry, and a good number of mathematical concepts covered as well (such as probability).
