Bio Major- Senior fall semester classes

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>So I will be a senior (at Cornell, not hs) this fall- I’m a bio major and wondering if anyone has any experience in the following classes:</p>

<p>Immunology- I’m assuming this will be interesting and not too difficult- just the standard class and prelims, right?</p>

<p>Molec/Cell Bio lab BioBM440- It has two 4-hour lab periods, but is there much work outside of lab? Lab reports? Do we actually have to stay there the entire time, or just until we finish?</p>

<p>Field Ecology: Is it a lot of work outside of class? </p>

<p>This is the schedule I’m planning on, plus an honors project and the Molecular Basis of Human Disease class. I've done well with the bio major so far but I want to make sure I'm not underestimating the difficulty of the above classes (although I've heard molec basis of disease is hard).</p>

<p>I'm a fan of Bio440. We never held the Fri. session. And most of the time, we spent 2-3 hours in lab per lab period. Outside of a few notebook checks and a couple of quizzes, there was very very little studying/reading or anything of the sort outside of class. Plus, the techniques you learn in the class are signature mol. bio techniques that you will definitely use if you plan to do bio research.</p>

<p>thanks! I've been looking forward to 440 since fall of junior year (couldnt fit it in decently with physics).</p>
