We haven't yet had a Biology student take ZON 100. We'd be thrilled if you'd like to be the first! If you do decide to join us and would later be open to sharing your experience, your story could really help future students from your program understand what this course offers and how open and encouraging it is for Biology students. While you're considering ZON 100, feel free to explore what students from other programs have shared in the other tabs. Their experiences might give you a sense of what you could expect and the kinds of insights you might one day want to share from your own unique Biology perspective.

Ikjot (Accounting and Finance)

"The value was the people in the course working with people who are working on their own project is inspiring and really motivated me to work on my project. My personal takeaway was the confidence it builds when you work on a project for the first time, as it feels like you are not alone. It has surpassed my expectations of what I thought I would gain from this course."
