<p>any tips besides working hard? And what textbooks do u use?</p>
<p>i'm gonna go ahead and assume that you are a gunner</p>
<p>there's nothing wrong with admitting you want to do well and asking for advice--people who do, particularly pre-meds, usually end up being the most successful</p>
<p>the most important tip is to keep doing what you're doing--ask questions, make use of the Professor's open office hours. also, make sure you are disciplined and keep up with all of the readings.</p>
<p>or have a really good AP Chem class. Chem 33 pretty much didnt cover anything I already didn't know. Except for some quantum stuff, we did some things there I never knew, but not very complex if you know basic physics.</p>
<p>Four threads? You are pretty hardcore bro, lol.</p>
<p>Anyways, I dunno about Brown's textbooks, but I've here are some text books we've used in high school that I've seen used in intro courses on multiple campuses. </p>
<p>Ochem - Organic Chemistry: A Short Course 11th edition by Hart and Craine</p>
<p>Bio - Biology 7th Edition (I used 6th) by Cambell and Reece</p>
<p>BTW, I've never seen someone that enthusiastic about beocming a doctor. You wouldn't happen to be masochistic would you? :D</p>
<p>how about advanced textbooks? are the staples of molecular biology: Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts et al, Molecular Cell Biology by Lodish et al etc. used? any recommended text books for organic chemistry, biophysical chemistry etc.? thanks.</p>
<p>Why would you be doing this? I don't understand the point of educating yourself to the point where the course isn't worth your time and money. Are you paying for a degree or to learn?</p>
<p>Chem 33 was a waste of time and money if you took AP Chemistry and knew some physics. It's ridiculous that it's mandatory, and covered almost nothing worthwhile.</p>
<p>They just changed the Orgo textbook to one I haven't heard of that came out in 1999.</p>
<p>Bio20 is not that bad at all, and there is a good reason why taking AP Bio you get to skip the class-- it's on the same level.</p>
<p>WHen you take the course, learnt he material, use your professor, etc. Otherwise, you're wasting time spending that much money to go to school...</p>
<p>Sorry, maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. I was asking more about in general what text books are used in the molecular biology concentration at Brown. Because I'm serving my national service now, I've lots of spare time to hit the books, and as a result, I want to make sure I'm reading the right texts. Thanks!</p>
<p>go to <a href="http://webct.brown.edu%5B/url%5D">http://webct.brown.edu</a>
log in as a guest
check out the course(s) you are interested in--you should be able to find information about the texts that are used this way</p>
<p>Thanks for the link dcircle.</p>
<p>I wasn't able to log in as a guest, but by going through the "Course Preview Pages" hyperlink, I believe you can access all the faculty pages, most which have the required texts there. Plenty of other good info as well!</p>
<p>The guest name will probably work for webct once the semester starts. I think they disable it partway through.</p>
