Psych 2tt3 or psych 2nf3
I want to take both these courses, animal behaviour and neuroscience, as electives but they are both only offered 2nd term and I can't fit them like that. Out of these two, which one would you recommend? From the course descriptions, I find both equally interesting so I'm having trouble deciding. Reviews say that 2tt3 would be probably easier as an elective but I don't really mind difficulty level. Any input to help me decide?
My current timetable looks like this:
1st term:
Biochem2b03
Chembio2p03
Chem2oa3
Biochem2l06
Elective?
2nd term:
Biochem2bb3
Bio2c03
Chem2ob3
Biochem2l06
Either psych2tt3 or psych2nf3
What other elective would you suggest I take that is offered 1st term? I already considered child development, abnormal psych, and personality but they all conflict :(

I took both 2tt3 and 2nf3 last term and I personally thought 2nf3 was much more interesting since I am interested in medicine, molecular biology and neuroscience. I personally found 2NF3 to be actually easier since the questions are straight forward and if you studied "hard", you will get a very high mark. In contrast, 2TT3 has a MUCH lighter workload, but Dr. Bestion expects very specific things on tests and the exam was very tricky. I thought 2TT3 was very interesting too, since there are lots of funny animal videoes and very fascinating concepts , but I love diseases so I thought 2NF3 was better

I enjoyed 2NF3 a looooot more.
...just a heads up, Dr. Beston isn't teaching 2TT3 next year, so you might not want to chance a new prof...

if you take psych2tt3 or psych2nf3, you're going to be taking over 15 units of courses in second term

sorry my mistake...since Biochem2l06 spans for 2 terms, i guess 3 units will be devoted to each term

Thanks for the input! So if I study hard, would 2nf3 be easier to get a 12 in? Are test questions mostly based on lectures?

Also, anyone have any suggestions for courses I could take in first semester? I can fit psych 2c03 or 2e03... If I enjoyed 1xx3 better, would 2e03 be better? I've heard that a lot of people didn't like 2e03 for some reason though? Any other possibilities for interesting electives?
