why i switched majors

In yet another example of why I switched from the Biology to Chemistry department, tonight we had our last Genetics test (before the final exam). It gave equal weight to the specific names and phenotypes of syndrome & the actual underlying genetic causes for the syndromes. I understand the class covering syndrome names and phenotypes, since most of the class is probably pre-med, but it's this rote memorization stuff that really puts me off bout biology classes. Let this post be a notice to high schoolers who happen to read this blog.
