Term 1: History 2T03,Biology 2F03,Biology 2D03,Life Sci 2D03,Religious Studies 2G03
Bio 2D03: Very easy, more focused than Bio 1A03. I found this to be the easiest course that I have ever taken at Mac yet. Its simple to the point and you get a shit load of Bonus marks. I loved it.
Life Sci 2D03: Very easy, a bit boring when it comes to how many times the course talks about Natural Selection. Its really the theme of the course. So it might get redundant. but honestly, its a good course.
Biology 2F03: I heard its ok, but i heard that the prof focusses on the guest lectures. But I d k.
I dont know anything about the other courses.
Term 2: Life Sci 2A03, Biology 2B03, Environment Sci 1A03, Origins 2LU3, English 2F03
Life Sci 2A03: I will be taking it in september 2011, I heard its a really interesting course about cell differentiation and research. Some people said its a useless waste of money considering the patheticness of the topics. I am not sure thats what I heard but its a no exam course so yeah!
Biology 2B03: My favourite course in my undergrad so far, very smooth, very interesting, very logical and requires critical thinking yet its simple and not overwhelming. I love it.
Enviro Sci 1A03: Most boring course ever, its easy but meh so boring and very stupid. Dr. Luc is very hard to understand. His french accent is kind of irritating. So yeah. Labs are ok but they can be a bit annoying. Overall I was not impressed with this supposedly to be "bird" course.
I dont know anything about the other courses.

To be honest, second year is easier than first year in sense that you will be able to focus on things, meaning that each course is more focused rather than a foundation. Like you have a full course on plant biology or full course on cell biology, so you have the ability to focus ur thinking on each topic and link them together making it easier for you to study. I loved second year more than first year, since I was able to link the courses old topics with the new topics, it made more sense to me than studying a random topic each week in first year.
However, second year can be more challenging when it comes to the level of difficulty of the topics, the required courses that can fcuk you up so hard (a.k.a organic chemistry) things like that. However, organic chemistry was my second favorite course since I loved the challenge, I studied daily and I felt challenged all the time, I felt like its a battle that I had to win
So yeah its very doable and you will honestly love it more than first year. I hated my first year. it was just very unchallenging, boring and very random, different topics each week which had nothing to do with each other.
Anywho sorry for the novel up there, Good luck
