<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I'm going to be a freshman this fall!! I'll be majoring in Biomedical Sciences and studying on a premed track. </p>
<p>I was looking over my schedule and I wanted to know some of your opinions and tips for Bio 200 and Chem 101. For Bio 200, I have Prof Poulin and for Chem 101, I have Prof Schallhorn. So, do any of you Sophomores and upperclassman have any tips for tackling these courses? </p>
<p>Thanks for the help! :)</p>
<p>Hey I’m in the exact same situation as you! Biomedical Sciences major on the premed track. I also have Poulin for Bio and Schallhorn for Chem. </p>
<p>I read on ratemyprofessors that Prof. Poulin is a tough teacher, but a really good one. They said do not buy the textbook, but definitely purchase her lecture guide. Apparently you won’t get by on just memorization in this class, you really have to understand the concepts to pass her tricky exams. </p>
<p>Unfortunately I read that Schallhorn is not a great professor, so you should buy the textbook and study your butt off if you want any chance of an A. From what I read, an A will not come easily. Nobody really specified what made him a bad professor other than he does not do a whole lot of teaching in class. Hopefully he’s not as bad as everyone is making him seem. Unlike Bio, I think Chem is more math and just knowing your stuff.</p>
<p>I know you weren’t looking for advice from a freshman just like you, but I hope this helped even a little bit! I’m planning on just studying like my life depends on it, because it kind of does. I heard that going to the library instead of studying in your room all the time can be helpful to kind of separate school and relaxation. I mean sometimes you have to study in your room, but a change of scenery can’t hurt. Okay, I hope some part of this helped! I like to research as much as I can before I go into a situation. I hope someone older and more experienced is able to give us some more advice!</p>
