Hey all, I want to take biochem in the summer before the MCAT and my institution doesn’t offer it in the summer. Anyone have any experience with UCSD extension’s online biochem class? It seems like a great affordable option and I know most schools are ok with online biochem since it doesn’t require a lab, but I’m wondering if anyone has taken it and had it accepted. It uses the quarter system (4.5 units) but should correspond to a full semester. I’ve heard some conflicting opinions about this. I went ahead and emailed some schools but wanted to see if anyone here had any insight. Thanks!
 
Currently enrolled in this course, finishing up this week. Workload was not bad, you have a weekly discussion post and a quiz (which acts as an exam, worth 200 points). The unit chapters open up every Monday, and you have between 3-5 chapter lectures available.
