<p>Is 105/106 (autotutorial) harder than the regular track?</p>
<p>Opinions.</p>
<p>This is for pre-med, by the way.</p>
<p>you think you're a significantly stronger student than most Cornellians, why worry?</p>
<p>id suggest u take it rather than lecture + bio lab.</p>
<p>I've heard bad things about the lecture + lab track. I imagine the material isn't much different....it's just a matter of self-motivation.</p>
<p>mostly lab part. theres always these people who studies 24/7 to get that A, therefore pushing those who don't study 24/7 down there. this guy in my lab said he only SKIMMED the chapter. then he took it out it was completely covered in notes. and i mean COMPLETELY lol,</p>
<p>my lab TA said this years lab students are much smarter than last years, at least her class, she said avg went up over 10 points compared to last year. i assume class 2012 will have similar #s.</p>
<p>idk why ur worried about intro bio class....i thought u were superior to everyone else at cornell?</p>
<p>yeah...I also thought you were leaving Cornell.</p>
<p>But I guess it's good to make a plan B....</p>
<p>I just talked to a friend of mine....and she recommends 105-106 over 101-102</p>
<p>It's about the same because it's the same class, just taught different ways.</p>

<p>Well, the alternative to transferring to a more prestigous school is to transfer into a tougher major. I can just imagine muerteapablo at his med school interviews:</p>
<p>Interviewer: So, why medicine?
Muertapablo: Well, you see I was much smarter than everyone else in my classes at Cornell and wanted to transfer to Harvard. But, since Harvard stopped accepting transfer applicants, I switched into harder classes.
Interviewer: That's a very unique reason. Most people talk about wanting to help people or being fascinated by science.
Muertapablo: Yep. Guess that acceptance is in the mail, heh?</p>
<p>^hahaah thats so funny</p>
<p>Thanks for the info.
It's for the plan B (morning after kind of thing, you know).</p>
<p>Of course, as gomestar intimated, I'm academically infallible, so whatevs.</p>
<p>Gomestar: that was a joke.</p>
<p>Bio 105 is an absolute joke. Anyone can get an A+ easily, it's pathetic.</p>
<p>I've heard a it's a mixed bag depending on learning styles, so the judgment seems a personal one.</p>
<p>It's not hard; just a major pain in the ass</p>
