I have taken psych 3f03.....reminded me a lot of life sci 3c03 with beston....its pretty interesting and i found the tests very straight forward. My prof was Dr. Feinberg. I have friends that have taken the life sci 3k03 course. I heard it was a lot of memorization and there was alot of questions in a short amount of time for the tests. They said the material was interesting but it was a lot of material and most students were struggling to finish the tests on time.

I can only speak for Psych 3F03. In the fall with Feinberg, it was a 55% final, with two midterms worth 22.5%. It was a night class and a couple times we finished within a half hour, usually within an hour, and never more than an hour-and-a-half. There was no textbook but each week we had to read 1-3 published papers that were pertinent to what we covered in class. All examinations were multiple choice and weren't too difficult, but not a walk in the park either. The class performed well on both tests. The exam was something crazy though. Not because it was hard, but because it tested articles and concepts that we never learned! My theory was that they re-used a previous year's exam either accidentally or without realizing that the material deviated. I still ended up with an 11 though, so it worked out. I would recommend it if you're looking to take an upper-level psych as it's relatively light in terms of workload, pretty interesting, not hard to get a double-digit grade in, and really helps you develop a better grasp of evolutionary theory and its intriguing applications.

Psych 3F03 was pretty interesting! I'd recommend it! Everything is multiple choice. But yeah the MC testing on the exam was kinda weird. All in all it was pretty good overall.
