This course was pretty similar to grade 12 cell bio, and so if you did well in that you've got a decent advantage here. Although not super difficult, I found this course to be a lot of work. There's 2 weekly "pre-lecture" modules you need to watch (about an hour total) and take notes on. Plus taking notes on the two weekly lectures. Plus bi-weekly labs, lab quizzes, and post-lab assignments. There's 3 midterms, no final exam but a final report. Definitely time-consuming but if you put in the work it's not difficult to succeed.
Both profs were good lecturers, and there was plenty of practice tests to prepare you for the midterms.

Great course that doesn’t require prior information on cell biology. The prof and TAs really tried to explain the concepts and made the content and labs easier. The pre lab quizzes were straightforward but could be tough some times. The labs were time consuming but not too hard thanks to the TA. The lab reports were straightforward and not too difficult and the TAs really helped with any questions. The formal lab report is a little harder to get marks in but it’s just an accumulation of the lab reports don’t throughout the semester. There are 3 tests throughout the semester which can be tough.
Prof was great and explain concepts very well and tried to make the slides engaging.
Definitely take this course if you plan on doing any cell biology course in the future such as BIO 2B03 as it opens up the options for many courses especially if you’re in life science.

Modules were a bit annoying, but the applied lectures were always interesting and the test were very fair.
Dr. da Silva is very engaging and gives very interesting lectures and seems to genuinely care for her students.
