Hello, I am incoming life science student, and I am planning to take bio120, chm135, and phy151 in first term, then bio130, chm136, and phy152 in second term (If you are asking me why am I taking phy151/152 instead of 131/132, I would like to do physics major with life sci programs, and I already know that I have to work harder than others). I am making timetable right now, but I am concerned about taking 2 practicals in same day. In high school bio and chem, I had 2-3 days to write lab reports, and my teachers told me that I only have a day to complete reports in uni. If what they told me is true, I don't want to rush for 2 lab reports at night.

Feel free to leave any suggestions for making timetable :)

Hello, I will start first year life sci program this september, and I am wondering for course selection. I looked up prior first year life sci students' timetables in reddit, and most of them have:

Fall: bio120, chm135, mat135, electives,

Winter: bio130, chm136, mat136, electives.

However, I want to take higher level math courses like mat137 or mat159 (now those are split into mat148/149 and mat158/159). In high school, I found clicking calculator for solving math is killing my brain, but I rather enjoyed proving mathematical formulas by myself. Also, I am familiar with contents of mat135/136 since I took ap calc bc (and scored 5). I will also take pump 2 during the summer for preparing proof-heavy math courses.

For electives, I would like to take physics(phy131, 132 or 151, 152), algebra(mat223, 224), or comp sci(csc148). Physics was one of my favourite course in my high school, and I am opened to do double major in life sci program and physics.

If anyone in life sci program has taken mat137, phy151, phy152 before, what are your suggestion for my first year? Also, do you recommend any courses other than I listed as electives?
