Bio 2F03 vs Envir Sci 1A03
Which course would be easier to take this summer alongside a harder course that requires attention. I've read that 1A03 can be quite dry, so has anyone taken 2F03 with Cartwright/can elaborate on her teaching in terms of ease, quality, etc.

Also, I noticed that labs make up a large part of the course so what would they substitute that portion of the course with since there appears to be no labs in the summer...

take 1a03 during the school year. it can be a mark booster and less time consuming.

I took both courses and personally, i thought 2f03 was super easy, and kinda informal at times whereas enviro 1a03 is certainly the worst course i ever took at mac. the prof teaching 2f03 this summer was actually my TA - i can't speak to her as a prof but she was an excellent TA.
