Anyone majoring in biochemistry?? Tips and tricks?!
Is it interesting? Is it true that its one of the hardest majors? Thanks.
I majored in it.
'Hardest' is in the eye of the beholder. I would hate a zoology major (and thus find it difficult) but I'm pretty interested in biochemistry, so I find it interesting. Most people only major in one thing anyway, so how can they get an idea of what's the hardest major? The subjects on the whole are very well run (so there's not a hurdle there,) some of the content can be difficult - but that should be expected at third year level, anyway. I wouldn't do the major unless you can tolerate prac work (the third year prac subject - BCMB30010 I think, has a reputation of being a lot of work. It's true, but it's doable as long as you put the work in).
Got scooped by the guy above me - if you enjoyed (and went well in) BCMB20005/BCMB20003 you should be set up well for the major.
Feel free to PM me (or reply here - preferred so others can read it if you're okay with that) any further questions.
(Honours is a whole different story. It's 9pm and I'm just finishing up for the day. Why am I still at uni?)
