Hey Mr. Lesiuk!
How's it going? I can never find you when I come to KSS, but I'd like to tell you how much I
appreciate your bio notes on your website. They have really come in handy this year when I need
a quick review of certain subjects. They've also been extremely helpful in my preparation for the
pharmacy exam (PCAT) which I'll be taking at the end of January. Just being in your health
science class has provided me with really good knowledge about basic anatomy and little
"tidbits" that may be tested as well. I'd definitely recommend that course for any students
thinking about going into pharmacy (or heading into Pre-Pharm at UBCO like I did).
Best of luck next year!
