RSXer, we need to hit the golf course before school starts. When does school start for us anyways?
Any hoo, to the rest of you wondering if you can place out of Biochem...it ain't gonna happen.
The bright side is that biochem with Dr. Bashirelahahahlallallahee isn't that bad. He's a really nice guy. Just remember to maintain eye contact with him at all times during lecture. That way he thinks you understand the material. However, if you pretend that you're reading your notes or highliting vigorously during his lectures, he will pick on you and humiliate you in front of everyone. Trust me on this. He has eyes in the back of his head and no one is safe during his lecture. Also, a good trick is to band together with other members of your ethnicity so that he'll get confused. For instance, all the Asians should sit together in a tight cluster and all the white preppy types should sit together. (This will not work if white preppies and white mormons sit together)
This way, he may think that he's called on you already for the day and pass over you and instead call on one of your comrades twice in a row thereby compounding that individual's embarrasment while leaving you unscathed.
That's the main bit of advice you'll need for 1st semester.
