Course with no final exam?

Are there any courses, esp. 2nd year science ones, without final exams? I only know one, which is Life sci 2A03...

I think Inquiry doesn't have exams. But apparently the workload during the term is very heavy.

Generally speaking, courses with no exam have a larger year long course load, they're not necessarily easier, the work is just redistributed.

Yeah, except I always mess everything up in my finals...

You may also have a take home exams, which are marked harder than normal exams, seeing as how you have more time and the resources in front of you.

phys 2G03 has a in-class 50 minute exam worth 20% but I wouldn't consider it a final exam.
That's a scientific computing course.

Bio 2L03 -Experimental Design- small class (this was its first year as a re-vamped course)
Its so amazing, you learn so much about how science/research works.
Exam: 20% (65% of the exam mark is take-home and you hand in on the day of the exam) So thats pretty close to no exam. Not sure if they'll do this same weighting next year....
