BIOL 111 is confusing. It is confusing as a BIOL course, as a required course, as an entry-level science cource, and simply as a course. I tried to focus on fulfilling this requirement instead of "at least learning something from this course" and things got better. I barely learnt any BIOL knowledge from the time I wasted on this course.

They tried to educate me on something; but sadly, I was not able to see that thing.

(Assuming there is not significant modification made to the course since 2020 WT2.) This course might be the primary option for Science students who do not have Grade 11 Biol. If you can not avoid it you should be alart to it. It might be easy for you to underestimate the workload of learning a week's material / an assignment / a project. Use your time wisely because it is impossible for students to understand nor remember even half of the knowledge, but you can do well in the sense of grade if you can catch a few essential points.
