I will be honest, I went to maybe 3 or 4 lectuers in the beginning, and never showed up again (it is extremely boring in my opinion), but everything seemed to be tested right out of the lecture notes, and I read the textbook to expand on stuff in the lectures. If you want 2 easy-ish courses with a fairly light workload, take 2EE3 and 2F03!!

I hope the costumes aren't marked on... that would be very biased to creative people that are good with their hands. Lol. If I had to make an albatross, it would be a bunch of cubes put together >.>

Trust me, they were very low quality presentations. The "regurgitated food" consisted of shredded paper, and a water bottle that randomly popped outo f the neck of my sweater. My "costume" was a paper stuck to my shirt with tape, that said "Mommy Albatross". Our "set" consisted of papers that we stuck to the blackboard using magnets, that said "In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean", and "Back at the nest". We resented the people who actually put effort into their costumes/skits =P.

Lol, sounds pretty jokes.

lol for 2f03, I really wanted to play a song or do an interpretive dance (my suggestions for each presentation) but my group members were not up to doing that, but we made biology plays and did dramatic monologues in costume as well, the presentations were fun. I think the TA's appreciate creative presentations for that course

Anybody taken Bio 2C03 with Dudley? I have no choice but to take it with her and have heard nothing but awful things about her.

Dudley is teaching 2C03? Genetics? The entire course? WOW, that seems terrible. She is not a geneticist, my understanding is that Dr Dudley's research and areas of interest are in plants and ecology.

When I had her in Bio 1AA3 (1M03 for some of you), she was a very poor lecturer, extremely disorganized. She had no lecture notes to post or anything, and in lecture she just kind of talks, with no purpose.

Why don't you have a choice about it? Do you know what happened to Dr Dej and Dr Campos teaching it, as they did last year?

Probably meant 2D03. Which I heard wasn't that bad as Dudley actually cared about what she was teaching.

Dr. Dudley is indeed teaching Bio 2C03 next year 1st term, but you can take it with Dr. Dej in 2nd term if you like.

i went out of my way to get it 2nd term with Dr. Dej. Dr. Dudley is not THAT bad, but her handwriting is TERRIBLE, and her lecture postings will likely be useless...if you have a choice go with Dr. Dej.

I highly suggest trying to take it with Dr Dej. Genetics can get a bit dry (in my opinion), and Dr Dej taught Genetics well.

And yeah, Dudley loves the stuff she researches etc. Guess thats true for all professors.

I can't take it second term because it conflicts with Psych 2RB3

I don't understand the Dudley hate.

I mean, I love Kim Dej as a prof, but Dudley isn't bad. I think Campos who taught it 2 years ago was a lot worst :\

Campos teaching = instant nap

DEFINITELY NOT A FAN OF CAMPOS.

Dej > Dudley > Campos

Dudley isn't bad, and I think her tests are straight forward, with no tricks. But I had a hard time concentrating in class with Campos .. hard to understand what she's saying, and I didn't like the way she explained things.

Agree, Dudley is not a bad prof at all and she's actually very nice. The wordings on her tests are sometimes confusing but they are very straight forward.
