I am currently signed up to take BCH 451 this semester with Sylvia but i've heard some people say they did it over summer and had to busy their ass for 3-4 weeks but it was better than the semester. Any thoughts from anyone who has done fall/spring or summer session?

i'm also taking it with her this semester and from what i've heard, i'd be scared to take it during the summer only because the workload and memorization would be soooo much in so little time. Just imagine trying to prepare for each of her tests in only a week.

I'm so glad I took it this summer...it was an EASY B considering the amount of work I actually did

I would kick myself if I hadn't taken it over the summer and could have (but only because it was with Hardin...he only teaches every 3rd summer or something)

IF anyone is interested, I took biochem this past spring, and I still have my textbook (if you or anyone you know would like to buy it)!

I took it with sylvia this past spring. it's not a hard class but there is a lot of content to know...it's more than possible to get a good grade. if you're not prepared to work, you might as well drop now.

**i too have the BCH book if someone else needs it.**

yeah I think im just gonna stick it out this semester... I missed the first day of the class so is their anyway anyone can tell me where to find the syllabus online or could anyone email it to me? just send me a PM .. thanks

that class was a REAL good indication of what medical school is like

What sucks is that class is a fucking elective for alot of people, and spending 2 hours a day studying that shit when you have alot more important things to be doing is rediculous. That lady is psycho.

"Welcome to life101" Suck my nut bitch.

And go find some old tests. She tells you to, and they are the best way to study.

she will show you them in her office

last year she even broke out the actual test the week before for a few students to look over

don't be afraid to go to her office, espcially after the tests. if you go to debate *one* question, she will go through and just give you extra points on some other stuff, even when you didn't know that you deserved them.
