AntiRequisites
I have a question about anti requisites. Lets put this in perspective of biology. In year 2 there is the standard biology 2B03 and the healthy sci biology 2K03. For some courses both are allowed, for one others only one is acceptable. Being antirequisites means they cover the same material no? So if I take bio B03 it will let me take courses that require Hsci bio2K03?

Generally the course calendar would list both courses as prerequisites where either is acceptable (see immuno as an example). In some cases it might list 2K03 and not 2B03 because they want to limit to people only in the health sci program. |

ok, but how about this: some courses require biochem 3D03, but dont list biochem 2EE3 as a pre-req, but they anti requisites to each other, is that just a mistake?

I don't think so, the two don't cover exactly the same material. Also, 3D03 required 2BB3 as a prereq, which also has program limitations. |
