Biology

[Aneklusmos]

What kinds of biology courses are you all taking? like what are you studying, what level? and what do you find most interesting?

im taking a college level biology course on my own. just working straight from the textbook. its slow but really interesting. i really like the stuff about evolution

I'm a biology and psychology double major in 2nd year university (exams this month then 3rd year). The biology courses I've done in 1st and 2nd year are:

- intro evolution
- intro diversity of organisms (applying evolution to various non-human organisms in terms of anatomy, physiology and interactions of species)
- animal physiology
- plant physiology
- microbiology
- ecology
- medical pharmacology
- genetics
- human anatomy & physiology
- neuropsychology (based only on biology although still a psychology course)
- perception, some issues with the course though


Next year, still not entirely sure but I'm hoping to go into neuroscience or neurology or forensic psychology, so most of the courses are biologically-oriented.

I find human anatomy & physiology, especially of the nervous system, microbiology and some evolution very interesting.

I may be a T.A. next year for 1st year biology, although that's still undecided.

i'm in Honors Bio. we've been doing genetics for the past two months and i HATE genetics but now that we're doing evolution I'm so much more interested. What ever happened to the Cro-Magnons?

High school genetics (I assume you're in high school because it says you're 16) truly is the lame, boring stuff. I assume it's simple Punnett Squares and Mendelian genetics. In 2nd year university, the more interesting topics include molecular genetics of cancer, sex-determination, epistasis (pain in the ass, where multiple genes interact to produce a given phenotype), etc... . Although, in comparison to other biology classes, genetics tends to be something you either like or you hate, there's little in between because it requires a more different style of analyzing a problem.
