ZOOLOGY 3

The schedule in biochemistry is at present complicated by the arrangement of the essential half-courses in the field.

Though Zoology 1 is a prerequisite for Zoology 3, and they are both practically required for concentrators, both courses are given the first half year. The concentrator in the field must therefore wait two years before he can get this essential introduction. The continuity of the material is thus broken and the program of the student is complicated. Chemistry 33 and Chemistry 44, moreover, the courses which are usually taken the second half-year to fill these empty places in the class schedule, do not come at the same hour as the two zoology courses. Because of this, there are twice as many possibilities of conflicts with courses outside biochemistry as there otherwise might be.

The remedy for the situation is not difficult. If Zoology 3 were shifted to the second half-year and were given at the same hour at which Zoology 1 is given the first half, the program would be simplified. These changes would give a better continuity to the subject matter and would much lessen course conflicts.
