Hey everyone,
I'm a Baruch student, and honestly, planning classes every semester is unnecessarily stresstul. Between comparing professors, finding open sections, avoiding schedule conflicts, and working around a job or commute, it gets trustrating pretty quickly.
So I spent some time building ChillSemester, a website designed to make planning your semester a little easier. It works across all 26 CUNY colleges.
Here's what I've added so far:
• Class search: Find sections by professor, time, day, and availability.
• Professor rankings: Compare professors using
Rate My Professors data, simplified into a 1-5 difficulty ranking.
• Schedule builder: Generate possible weekly schedules around your classes, work hours, and other contlicts.
• Seat alerts: Get notified when a full class opens up.
• Registration dates: I also collected Spring 2027 registration dates from individual CUNY colleges into one page.
Browsing, professor ratings, and building schedules are free. It’s called chillsemester if you enter it on google

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels this way, but my experience with the PCC Bio/Science department in general has been really frustrating. Specifically A&P. I absolutely understand its a rigorous series, but time spent on work outside of class varies WILDLY instructor to instructor. PCC releasing credit hour suggestions of two hours per credit seemingly doesn't apply to the entirety of the Bio department. How are you supposed to schedule out your pre-requisites when one 4 credit class has a professor who doesn't believe in hw, while that same class taught by a different professor can take up as much time as a part time job. Ive heard anecdotally from other students that this has been brought up to the chair multiple times and nothing is really done about it. AND with the limited seats/how impossible it is to get into classes, its beyond frustrating. Trying to take multiple classes per term at this school is a nightmare.

Can someone tell me exactly how to study for this Lab? Is it more knowing the functions and information? I figured it will ask you questions like “what test assess ex ex”.

Having issues, here. Just ordered an annual permit but this question now popped in my mind after the fact and can’t find anything on it.
