Bio 3DD3....
So we just had our tutorial and stuff....for those who have taken it, or are taking it right now, I have a question. Is it worth doing all that work for tutorial for such a little mark on your grade? Should I opt out of tutorials and just due the Simbio, midterm and final?

It's a lot of work for a few marks. On the final, there will be questions specific to your tutorial. However, only (for example) 50 of the 60 MC questions will be marked. He designed it this way for leniency for people who decided to opt out of tutorials of Simbio.

That is good. Since there is no book, will he just test off slides? The tutorials are such a waste. Four 40 minute presentations and 4 reports worth 12%? no thx.

I agree with this Silver, it's basically a PBL project every couple of weeks for 2% each, plus a report.
Although there is no textbook, he said there would be posted readings on Avenue. For those who have taken the course before, was attending lecture and reading the readings enough to do well?

I will probably only do the final in this course for my mark. I will do the midterm for fun, though.

Has anyone who's taken the course comment on the difficulty of his midterms/exams? Are they at about the same level as his 2f03 tests?
