I'm considering taking Biology 2F03 in summer school term 2.
Does anyone have any advice or hints?
I read the reviews on this course but I can't find anything on smith or gunderman, has anyone has them before??

I took the course during the year and Dr.Chow-Fraser was the professor. It was a really fair course.

this course is easy enough such that the prof doesn't matter. Lindsay Smith was my TA last term for the course and she was pretty good as a TA (very knowledgable and lead discussions well). I think this past year was her first year professing (Bio 3g03) but I never had her as a professor. Marvin Gunderman is the administrator i believe and he does a guest lecture on bugs. he's pretty cool guy.

i took this class, if fraser is teaching during the summer then you really don't have to attend lectures, she basically reads off the slides, however make sure you attend marvin's lectures those were totally worth the entire class, the tutorials were fun, the project was easy to get perfect or near perfect in...if your looking for a bird course this is it

yea and another thing...if fraser is teaching the course then you dont need to buy the book because she focuses on her lecture slides completely!

This course was amazing when I took it. And yes, if you're looking for an easy bird course, take Biology 2F03! I didn't take it cause it was easy, but I find the material rather interesting =) If you liked Bio 1M03, you'll like this course too
