Bio 3ZZ3 on the Ten Table
Its only a 3 unit course, but apparently its in term three (both semesters), with four hours of lecture/tutorial a week. Anyone know for sure?

When I took it 2 years ago it was 2 hours a week but both semesters. It's highly likely that they added more time because the speakers ended up going over time and half of the time. And we had a 1 hour tutorial so we could understand what the lectures were about.

Yep, I've heard it runs both terms but only counts for 3 credits. As for the 4 hours of lecture, there's an alternate lecture time. There's more details in the course outline here.

Wow this is strange. :/ So how many other courses do I take? Another 4 for each semester only puts me at 27... so do I basically overload one semester (five courses + 3zz3 and four courses + 3zz3?

That's how I understood it and heard from other peopleas well, which does sound really weird. But my plan is to just try and balance it out, I guess.

Oh totally . Oh no :(. Maybe it'll be resolved by tomorrow? I hope! Besides, I can guarantee you 2F03 will be better than it was last year, with a nightclass timeslot and Chow-Fraser DX

Just overload, the course isn't hard . Some people deferred it until last year when they had their thesis to even it out.

Me too. I've only had one (2F03) and I hate them so far. But I think that might be due to the fact that I had little interest in the subject to begin with =/. I know, guess there's no way to avoid them DX

Yeah I was confused about that as well. Okay so then one term, we can take 6 courses including 3ZZ3? Also, does that mean that the final exam for the course will be in second term?

We had two in-class "midterms". You can take 6 courses a term including 3ZZ3.
