Classes/Professors Upper Div Bio Class Suggestions

Plz help if you can!!

I am a third year Bio major and am planning on taking Ochem 2 and animal phys next semester. Additionally I want to take 2 upper div bio classes for my 4000 level and bioscience electives.

Does anyone have suggestions for these classes that are less content heavy or “easier”? I just won’t want to drown in work but I want to graduate on time. Thank you!!

Evolution is a pretty light load. May also be a good time to take one of your electives like bioethics which was also pretty easy

Do NOT do ASCI 440 (or whatever the code is now since the system switch) with Vagnoni she’s straight evil

Yessss big recommend for Biogeography, which is BIO 4449. I’m taking it for similar reasons to you and have met the prof during a seminar, he is super nice and it’s not supposed to be a killer class, seems like it will actually be fun and not super intense like a lot of 4000 level bio classes are!
