Several students have spoken with me about the mix of terror and grim fatalism that grips them when they consider this semester. Especially the students interested in Honours. Well, what do we do?
The first suggestion is that it is highly unlikely that anyone HAS to take three lab Biology courses AND RS 3853. You need to check this very carefully. The fear is that these courses may not be offered again next year. Well, BI 3203 (BioChem) and RS 3853 (Christ and NatSci) will NOT be offered again until W09. So that leaves Genetics and Botany. IF all three of these lab courses will be needed to graduate in May 2008 then the students that need them also need to make a case to us that one of the courses should also be offered again next year. Just looking at the schedule I would think that Botany is the one to defer to next year as it opens up the schedule the most.
If there is going to be a case made by the students it has to be made before you leave. Is there a problem? Do the students that face this schedule see any other solution that would bleed some of the stress out of the semester? Speak up now.
