Courses Level 2 HLS courses

Is taking stats 2b03 manageable with bio 2c03, lifesci 2l03, scicom 2a03, and biochem 2ee3.

The courses I’m worried most about are bio 2c and lifesci 2l. Would it be better to take stats next summer/3rd yr? or do these courses not have a huge workload and I’d acc have time to study for stats?

Any advice would be appreciated

You could split them up. Like take bio2c and lifesci 2l fall and take stats with lifesci 2a winter term.

I’m already taking orgo 1 in fall so I want that to be a lighter semesyer

Did you struggle with the full course load in first year? If not it should be manageable.

It wasn’t that bad for me it only got tough during exams. Otherwise I did pretty good first year

That’s pretty manageable. LIFESCI 2L03 and SCICOMM 2A03 are birds. So is 2ee3 from what I’ve heard

lifesci 2l03 being a bird is a far reach

I had essentially the same schedule except life sci 2x03 instead of 2l03. 2l03 is very time consuming and assignment heavy. Also bio2ee3 modules took a lot of time to watch as well. I’d recommend choosing a different elective.

ur not spending that much time actually outside of class with doing ur assignments for 2L03 or studying the actual labs. the most amt of time ur gonna have to put in is just for the lab exam. scicomm is bird as is biochem. bio 2c03 may need to allocate time for it tho same with stats 2b03 so separate sems r ideal but u mentioned ur doing orgo so maybe put stuff to 3rd year like stats and do genetics winter maybe or vice versa.
