This course aims to introduce you to biology at the basic molecular, cellular, tissue and body levels that will bring into perspective the unifying theme of all living things. You will learn about evolution, biodiversity, metabolism, physiology, and current advances in biology that have implications to our society and biology’s interaction with other disciplines. This course will prepare you for advanced biology courses, and may prepare you for professional careers in teaching, research and those that require some basic understanding of biology.

Year Taken: AY19/20, Sem 1
Grade: A-This is H2 biology in online form. No physical lectures, just pure online lectures which shows how much NTU Bio cares about you.
Online Video (20%) | Still managed to miss 3 lectures
You get marks for just watching the lectures every week (don’t miss the deadline like me though). You don’t even have to pass the test-my-understanding questions at the end. Warning though, do it early because it WILL slip your mind, trust me (personal experience again).Mid-terms (20%) | 18/20
Online exam but you have to go to some lab with a lock-down server to do it. All MCQs, but its really tricky because the options are essentially the same, you have to choose the “most correct answer”.Finals (60%) | Left early to go to wave gym HAHA
Ok, SBS has this crazy segment, where the MCQs have 2 or more correct answers, miss or select a extra option will render you zero marks for that question. AND, there are no answers for past year questions so you’ll never know the correct answer. I came out with a spreadsheet for the class to compare answers for the PYPs, but conflicting answers still had lots of contention, so ultimately its up to your confidence in your knowledge.This review was reposted with the kind permission of Roy.
