Biochem Upper Year Courses
Would taking Biochem 3H03, 3EE3, and 4Y03 all in one semester be doable in terms of course difficulty and workload? Thanks in advance!

I'd maybe avoid 3EE3, Truant and Trigatti taught a similar thing by a different name last year (3C03) and it was by far the hardest course in terms of doing well that I took last year. Unless they changed it this year but it was 3 hour long presentations all in the same week on a journal article, you also write a review paper, and then write 3 tests on all the other papers people present. Also it was at 8:30 am which played a huge role for last year but still. That being said some of the material was absolutely fantastic so if you're interested in their research or doing a thesis or something in either of their labs then it'd be perfect.

^Do you recommend any other good upper year biochemistry courses to take as electives in which an 11 or 12 is doable? (preferably 3rd/4th year courses) Thank you!

BIOCHEM 3H03, 3X03, 3Y03, 4EA3, 4H03 are probably the 'easier' courses? I haven't taken them, but I've heard less kind things about 4Q03 and 4N03.

I'm taking it in the winter term. It seems very interesting.

Here's last year's content: http://physwww.mcmaster.ca/~higgsp/4Y03.htm
