Hi K!
I'm not trying to sound too demanding but
Can you kind of make a list of classes you took since Freshman all the way to the present day?
Maybe have like a professors and GSI's names next to each class well?
Thank you!

Dear Anonymous,
Sorry for getting back so late! 
I don't quite have time at the moment to make a detailed list, but I will make one (hopefully) this winter break for you :) 
If you need to know right now, take a look at my previous posts where I've talked about some of my teachers and GSIs and overall experiences in those classes. 
I'll get back to you soon! :)

Do you have any tips on how to study for the Bio 1AL practical? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks K!

Dear J,
Thanks for stopping by! 
Unfortunately, they changed the format of the class since i've taken it, and I don't think the practical is the same as last year. When I took the practical, I wasn't prepared at all. But from my experience, I would say know analogous structures/functions, pathways, etc, know the cladograms (is that what they are? the trees haha), know what structures belong in what species and what doesn't, i.e gall bladder, know the structures of a sheep pluck (I don't know if you'll have one for your practical, but it was on my practical and it was never part of our labs..), and know the organisms in the marine tank. For me, these were the trouble areas (which is basically everything haha), especially the first two. I'm sorry I can't be more precise and detailed- it's been a while since i've taken the class, and I don't want to lead you astray since your practical will be formatted differently than mine  :/ 
Good luck!
-K
