What is a relatively easy level 2 science subject?   :o

Nice try, Barry.

Pharmacology is a fairly straightforward subject. Look at the reviews.

Or BCMB20003 if you like biochem. When I took it much of the content was a repeat of 20002.

I heard really good things about BCMB20003. I kind of wish I took that subject.

Principles of Genetics.

This subject is quite easy to get a H1 in if you do the work.

What type of things ?
I plan on doing this subject next year (thus the curiosity).

Like in BCMB20002 (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology):
-You can only get assessed on lecture content. This is in stark contrast to physiology where pre-readings can be assessed. Also compared to anatomy where you can get assesed on the ADSLs, I found when I did BCMB20002, I could relax after understanding and committing the lecture slides to memory. Even though I felt I understood the anatomy lecture slides, I was never really confident since I didn't have as much time to go trhough the ADSL worksheets in detail etc.
-Organised well and assessments from what I've heard are very fair.
-BCMB20002/3 isn't really about application. These are subjects which assess how much information you can commit to memory so if you're not the type to memorise slab loads of stuff then you might want to consider another subject instead.

Sweet, sweet, sounds good.
Thanks ChickenCh0wM1en and mahler004 for your help :)

I didn't enjoy Principles of Genetics. ):

I would recommend BTCH20002: Biotechnology. I might write a review for it or my friend will. :)

Have experienced and/or heard good things about these subjects:
Research-based physiology (if you're going to do human phys), comparative animal physiology, comparative nutrition & digestion (a previous atarnotes member got close to 100 for this subject)
