Pathology or Molecular Biology? (1 Viewer)

[Survivor39]

Has anyone done

PATH2201 Process in Disease
and/or
BIOC2201 - Molecular Biology (Advanced)?

I don't know which one to choose.. Help!!

 

[t-i-m-m-y]

Do BIOC2201. There is no choice

Na seriously.. I think moleculary biology sounds more interesting than disease.. this is an elective?

 

[Survivor39]

well in my degree, all the subjects are electives as long as they are in the school of medical science or in BABS.
Yeah, I am just scare that molecular might end up like Biochemistry

Do Molecular Biology:
- no need to buy new textbooks
- prerequisites for a lot of third year courses
- seems more useful
- help in genetics

Do Pathology:
- get Wednesday off
- less 9 am start
- seems easier
- 4 contact hours, not 6 in mol. bio.

see my dilemma?

do path, since youre in med sci i think its more valuable if you get a good introduction on the ways diseases inflict their damage. Mol bio is very mechanical, just like biochem you are going to be rote learning a few biological proceses which are covered in many other courses ir the transcription and translation of DNA
