(A) Indicates that the Practical (lab) Meeting
Section takes place
in alternate weeks, not every week. This may allow you to
create a more “efficient” timetable by selecting a Practical
Meeting Section for a first-year science course that will alternate
- in the same time slot - with a Practical Meeting Section in
another first-year science course. e.g. CHM138H1 (F) P0302
(Wed. 2:00-5:00) will alternate with BIO120H1 (F) P0301 (Wed.
1:30-4:30). ( Refer to online Timetable for more details.)
