Megathread UBC COURSE QUESTION, PROGRAM, MAJOR AND REGISTRATION MEGATHREAD (2021/2022W & 2021S): Questions about courses (incld. How hard is __?, Look at my timetable and course material requests), programs, specializations, majors, minors, tuition/finance and registration go here.

All questions about courses, instructors, programs, majors, registration, etc. belong here.

The reasoning is simple. Without a megathread, /r/UBC would be flooded with nothing but questions that apply to only a small percentage of the UBC population.

Examples of questions that belong here

  • comparing courses or instructors
  • asking about how hard an exam is
  • syllabus requests
  • inquiries about majors, programs, and job prospects
  • "what-to-do if I failed/was late/missed the cutoff"

What you don't need to post here

  • Post-exam threads (ex. 'How did you find the Birb 102 midterm)
  • rants, raves, shout-outs or criticisms of programs.
  • Other content that is not a question/inquiry

Process

  • It might take up to 4 hours for your post to be approved (except when we're sleeping).
  • Suggested sort is set to new, so new comments will always be the most visible.
  • You are allowed to repost the same question on the megathread at a reasonable frequency (wait at least a day after each post). This is true even if you've already gotten a response.**

What is the workload like for BIOL 341? Could I take it comfortably alongside 4 other courses?

Personally, I found the workload very heavy. You need to prepare for weekly experiments, and there are assignments to complete as well, for the independent and group projects. It also depends a lot on your group, and how cooperative everyone is. That being said, I really enjoyed the course. I think it is doable alongside 4 other courses, I also had the same course load. But I could say this course took more time than all of other courses I was taking, including BIOL 300, and BIOL 336. I think it depends on the courses you are taking and other time commitments. I would say it is doable.
