...remedy, says the commission, is nothing less than the removal of "all improper barriers to the advancement of women; an active search for their talents; and a special consideration of their problems and for their contributions." This means change at every level, from more math for schoolgirls (so they can enter science and engineering programs in college) to tenure for part-time faculty women (so they can combine careers and families...
...reason the neighbors complain, the landlord reassures the students in Moonchildren, is that they would give their last hair to live like students themselves. In Moonchildren's first act there's an encyclopedia salesman, a young person like the students or the secretary who envied my freedom. "You study math?" he asked the graduate student. "I'd have liked to study math...My father made me study law." When he realizes the students are of both sexes, the encyclopedia salesman's envy soars still higher, but I don't think Weller thinks that's the core of it. To people...
...simply is not terribly relevant nor terribly helpful for medical school work. Thus, Bio 15a, Bio 10b, or Bio 21 are reasonable adjuncts to Bio 2. Biology should be deferred until sophomore year for two reasons: performance as a freshman in chem and math can give you a clue about which biology to enroll in (between Nat Sci 5 and Bio 2); and, unless you are intending to major in Biology, there is no rush to have a large number of biology courses. Most of the advanced bio courses require Chem 20, and so it behooves you to take...
...reasonable way to take biology as a freshman, especially if you have a burning desire to do biology then, is to take chemistry (either Nat Sci 3 or Chem 6) in the first semester and, if you manage to do honors work in both the chemistry and math courses first semester, enroll in Bio 2 during the spring, in general, however, it is probably wise to defer your initial bio course until sophomore year. After having taken the one-year of required biology, it is wise to take at least an additional semester of bio, which might include...
Physics should be deferred until adequate mathematics preparation has been obtained. Thus, Physics 1 is most appropriately taken after completion of Math 1, although it may be taken after only Math 1a, if Math 1b is taken concurrently. Frankly, the physics requirement is perhaps the least important to the medical schools, and if any course if left to the senior year or to the summer-school session before senior year, it should be physics...
