I am a third year and is currently deciding whether to take this class Spring or next Spring. It would be great of either of you guys can answer my questions

1. How much percentage of your final grade is dependent upon the group project? Is it a hard project and should you find reliable people to work with? I know a lot of friends taking it this Spring who I would trust to work with for the project but if I take it next spring, I wouldn’t know any reliable people to work with for the project. Would this be a problem?

2. If I took PH 142 this fall, would it be better to continue with 150a in the spring? I know biostats is a prereq for 150a but how much of biostats do we have to remember? Would I be at a disadvantaged if I take 150a next spring when I might forget most of my biostats? What concepts from 142 should I review and go over before taking the class.

3. How many midterms are there? Can you guys explain how our grade is broken down (i.e. how many % is for midterms, final, project, etc.)?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks :)!
