Should we bring one 1" Binder for each subject or a couple 2" binders or what? I really have no idea since I dunno if the profs will be handing out papers that we have to 3 hole punch and keep in a binder. Also, should we bring one subject notebooks for every subject?

This is how it was when I was 1st term, see disclaimer...

Anatomy: Free binder with your notes (wowee!)

Biochem: Bring 2"+ for notes handouts (which will fit 1/2 of the term)

Embryo/Histo: Notes come in spiral bound book - no binder needed.

BSF: Binder provided

As far as notebooks, do you like to take notes? The notes handouts are more than enough to study, but if you do better writing things down, then a few notebooks may be a good idea.

Can anyone confirms if this is the way that it still goes?? or maybe they have changed something. If this is the case, then i guess we just have to bring one 2" Binder.

I would bring 2 2" binders for biochem. You can bring only one and take out your notes from first half, but then you really have no where to keep those notes, which is why 2 binders come in handy. Also, I don't know about other people, but after midterms my histo and embryo lecture notes started to fall apart so I took them and put them in binders too, I can't stand those little black things they bound the books with. UGH!! Does anyone know how many binders we should bring for 2nd term?

It seems to me that binders would take up a lot of valuable luggage room

just pack smartly and put things into the spaces in the binders... :P

but yes, packing binders might be a bit of a pain...

you can get some pretty big ones, I think you can even get 3-inch ones; try searching the internet, you're bound to find them

Does anyone know how many binders we should bring for 2nd term?

Neuro: 2.5"+ - they hand out half term at a time (400pgs each half if I remember right)

Physio: Hand out a packet at a time - so it's up to you if you want a binder to organize them pre/post-midterm, or just take the relevant packet to class. A larger one as well... 2.5"

Immuno: There are handouts, so probably a 2"+ (The handouts are pretty useless though - they don't have anything not in the book, so you can safely throw them out.

Parasit/Genetics: A single packet each - don't really need a binder for them.
