bio 2d03 or bio 2f03
Which course would you recommend? If I had a choice I wouldn't take either course but I have to take one so which one is my best shot? In terms of easy, and interesting?

bio 1D03 is probably a better one! I'm taking it too and heard alot of nice things abt it...plus it sounds easier and much more interesting.

This thread also talks a bit about that:

Personally, I've only taken Bio 2F03, which many of my classmates found pretty easy. To each his/her own though...some people like ecology (2F03), others may like plants better (2D03).

There are also course reviews for both courses, so check that out too.

I've heard 2F03 is more interesting and a lot easier. Source from upper year students.

I'm taking 2D03 this year and most likely 2F03 next year. XD

I took both 2D03 and 2F03 last year.
Workload - 2F03 is much less than 2D03 which has weekly labs that you must prepare for.
Ease - 2F03 seemed easier to me. The concepts were almost common sense.
Interest - 2F03 was more interesting to me because it was about the whole ecosystem and not just plants. There were some pretty cool case studies and the assignemnts/ labs were real life applications.

As you can probably see, I'd recommend 2F03 over 2D03. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed 2D03 as well. You should check which course will allow you to take more 3rd year courses.
