This class isn’t too bad, you get to use a cheat sheet during the exams which makes it a lot easier. If you’re taking it with Poulin, just know that she goes extremely fast during lectures, so try to keep up!
Tip: I personally watched every lecture back before the exams and jotted down notes as I went through them. The active recall method helped a lot with this course, and DONT skimp out on your cheat sheet, be very thorough.
Every review is free to read. Took BIO 200? Adding one takes about two minutes.
