- **2020-04** — I wouldn't recommend it if it's not required for your major. It's not so easy and it has a lot of memorization, even there are some biology chapters in it and usually there are drop quiz, but it depends on the teacher. It's interesting to a point though.

- **2020-04** — If you like psychology and bio in general go for it

- **2020-04** — interesting course but you have a lot of material to memorize
