What is the difference in rigour between JC and secondary school?
" The content is undoubtedly heavier and we study more in-depth about livign organisms and the different processes that occur in our bodies. The topic of bacteria and diseases is also introduced. As such, there is definitely more memory work and application questions but with much hardwork and passion, many will come to see bio as a fun and interesting subject. " --- Senior A(HCI)
Why did you choose to take it? Do you regret your decision?
" I chose to take this subject as i was very interested in whats gg on inside our bodies, especially how a million things can occur simultaneously in the tiny body of ours. i also love to learn about plants and animals and our interactions with them, the nutrition from my food and how my body uses it to create energy, and how diseases and bacteria operate. Although there are times I feel drained from the heavy workload and amount of content I have to memorise, I do not regret taking the subject as it has deepened my understanding of how life is created and works.
