<p>freshman bio m. pre med here</p>

<p>so i hear it's pretty routine for pre meds to take an intro bio course during freshman year...
and cornell apparently has gotten rid of intro gen. biology or something</p>

<p>i thinnk the options are a few intro courses, indiv. instruction gen. bio,
or foundations biology</p>

<p>i hear indiv. instruction is too difficult& not worth the workload, so i was
leaning towards foundations biology (bio 1140)</p>

<p>what does foundations biolgoy cover? is it like general biology?
would i be better off taking a two intro courses, such as comaprative physiology
or evo?</p>

<p>no one knows because as a freshman you are the first person to take these classes. i’d email the biology advising office and hope that they get back to you. and autotutorial isn’t that bad - as long as you can manage your time well - though i don’t think i’d suggest taking that your first semester at cornell.</p>

<p>if i were you - i’d do the two intro courses - they’ll probably be more interesting than the general bio</p>

i neglected the advisor’s e-mail- quite silly of me…</p>
