I've taken both 2F03 and 2I03 and they're both quite straight forward...

2F03, just a small paper, tutorial, presentation and exam
2I03, multiple choice test (10 questions) easily get perfect, paper, tutorial and exam. I actually loved this class, and so did very well... if you do readings and actually show up to class, you will get 10 and above for sure

Got an 11 in 3Y03. Its a great course, and the prof is amazing, but he does tend to go off on tangents often and its sometimes hard to get the overall theme of what he's teaching.

Also a very left wing spin on human rights...how capitalism is incompatible with human right etc. Though even if you don't agree with that logic, as long as you understand the reasoning behind it, you should do well.

It was one essay and one exam. I believe the essay was 40%, the exam was 50% and tutorial participation was 10%

I don't suggest taking 3Y03 unless you really like Galleguillos.
He talks A LOT about his life/himself in that course. Granted, it relates to the course material, but still. I found you don't learn very much in that course. I could have skipped almost the entire class and still done well on the exam. (That sounds promising, but it's kind of just a pain). I had a great TA and I did well, but I didn't enjoy that course at all.

I took 2I03 waaay back, and I liked it. The information is generally interesting, regardless of the prof.

If you're going for easy marks, take 3Y03 (if you like Galleguillos). If you're going for some marks but also a good course, take 2I03.

I never took 2F03, so I have no idea about that one.
