Yet they combine biochem with genetics and cell bio. Sounds like a business solution for academic issues.

Yeah, I agree. Taking 3 pretty important classes for understanding how things work and make 1 class out of it and then taking a class like Behavioral and giving it it's own class sounds like someone just wanted to fill space.

Strange as it may seem for me to say, ethics needs to be more heavily emphasized. True enough, most non-sociopathic people will know what's right and wrong in the clinical setting, but the boards put a good emphasis on legal mumbo jumbo as well.

I like how they've gone and taken 3 classes, which really do not integrate well at all, put them under one course name, and not integrated them at all!! The whole idea (from what I've heard), was to make the course more integrated. But, since apparently they didn't know how to do it, the just give you half of genetics in one semester, half in the next, still keep it 100% separated, and call it integrated. It seems like they're doing each part together for the current first semesters (they're taking all of genetics in the first semester), but is that any different than when they were just different classes?

And, what's even better, is that they rush through the biochem stuff at a pretty fast speed, don't have time to finish the biochem, so wind up giving us a lecture or two the last day before the exam, and then decide to combine us with first semester to give us a week (so far) of information that we've already had!!

This was the Dr. B special in biochem. He would start off super slow and then cover the most important material a day or two before the exam at super-speeds. Fortunately his notes would be out through to the end, so I would recommend studying ahead and focusing on the last lectures before they have been formally presented.

yeah, there were a lot more ethics questions than expected on the step.
