hey so im planning a bit ahead and deciding what courses i want to take in the following years, i was just wandering, bio 2ee3, or bio 2fo3. i generally dont have any feelings either way for either of them, and both are at the bottom of my list of liked courses but i need one of them. i looked at the reviews but they are rather out dated so if anyone has recently taken them and can share their thoughts that would be great

thanks

if you'd like to read a 1000 page textbook and memorize useless details and then forget them the day after the exam, 2EE3 is for you

that course will likely never change lol, and despite (somehow) doing well in it, I did not enjoy it. I haven't taken 2f03 but between the two, I would say go with 2F03.

2f03

read over lecture notes and you'll be fine.. its kind of boring... but not hard

The material in Bio 2EE3 is very interesting, but I really, really recommend NOT taking it unless you absolutely have to. The amount of material you have to memorize for the midterm/exam is beyond ridiculous, to the point where I honestly don't know how a person could prepare for it. The prof pulls the most random questions out of the air. It works out in the end cause the marks are adjusted big time, but I took the course last sem and I'm still bitter about it, haha.

Take 2f03. It's fun and one of the labs is a walk through Cootes Paradise. And Marvin's guest lecture on insects was the best.

Take any bio except bio 2d03..... **** i hate that course and almost failed

haha thanks yea that lab on walking through cootes paradise sounds fun. plus i wouldnt be able to memmorize half a page to save my life, i suck at that kind of stuff, so fo3 it is

btw i dont plan on taking do3 but thanks for the heads up

alos i was just wandering, but did u guys plan out wat your doing ( like all the courses u plan on taking) all at once, or did u go year by year

and final question, i plan on taking bio 2b03 during the summer ( as its the only lvl 2 bio course offered in the summer) but i want to take one pore, so does anyone have a personal fav elective they think i should take during 1st summer term.

econ 1b03, econ 1bb3, env sci 1a03, econ 2h03, econ 2j03, env sci 2ei3 . all are 12able courses. if you take cell bio with dr dej kim then its not bad to take it during the school year.

aparently someone named patel, l is running cell bio in the summer do u know how she is?

she did genetics last term...she is a new prof... we had two profs for the course and her part was not bad and very manageable... then we got another prof and it kinda fell apart

bio 2ee3 well that was interesting... it was a horrible horrible experience. 1000 pages textbook memorization, midterm of doom HOWEVER!!! i must say it was VERY VERY VERY USEFUL! u learn pretty much every "stream" of bio so it overlaps with alot of my courses now (ex ATP synthase first learnt in microbio, then in biochem). 2f03 im just gonna take for fun next year
