                3 items
                1. Students should begin either their math sequence or chemistry coursework in their 1st year, in addition to takingBIOL161 and BIOL162.
                  Not resolved to a course
                2. Physics often fits in best during the junior year.
                  Not resolved to a course
                3. Students lacking strong chemistry/math backgrounds could consider taking CHEM105 before CHEM121.
