Reading (pages/week): About a chapter a week (honestly reading the textbook wasn't very helpful though, all the information was covered in lectures and was a lot easier to digest in that format)
Homework (hours/week): 4-5 hours
Essays: 0
Exams: 4 (none curved)

"Really good introduction to biology course. It was clear that both Professors were very passionate about the material and it made the learning environment infectious. Labs were super fun and the discussions did a great job of emphasizing important concepts. The exams were incredibly reasonable as well and related to the discussions. "
