i think biochem classes are very annoying. here is a sample test from a biochem class at my school:
http://bugs.sus.mcgill.ca/Study/BIOC-311/Notes/311_Final.pdf
i only took the prerequisite for that course, i dont have the sample final for it, but have the course outline, it's called cell metabolism. I wonder if some schools require that i take biochemistry, do they mean the course above, or the course below could also be counted as biochem? Because instead of taking that biochem course next fall, i'd rather take something like neurobiology&behaviour
