hey, I am a second year student and I chose the following courses for the first sem:

French 1Z06
BIO 2D03
Life Sci 2B03
Econ 1B03
Religion Studies 2WW3

Could anyone tell me from their experience how the courses are? participation? and exactly what are they like? workload? etc.

PLus do you think this course is manageable?

Econ 1B03 is super easy. Weekly assignments that are super easy to get 90-100 on. The first midterm is a joke, it's a guaranteed mark booster. Seriously, if you do bad on it... it's your own damn fault for blowing it, lol.

Also, you know there's a review section on this site, right?

Life Sci 2B03 is cross listed as Bio 2B03 which was a really easy course and is a prereq for many upper year bio courses.

ECON 1B03 isnt bad - but its super boring, unless you like that kind of stuff

As an engineer, i hated it. But it was a fairly simple class.

Apparently French 1Z06 is ridiculously easy.

I took 1K06, the intermediate french, and that was really easy as well.

Bio 2D03 is fairly easy. You get to dissect plants. Dudley is a good prof when it comes to things that she's interested in.

Bio 2B03 is also easy. Kim Dej is fantastic.

Dej is only teaching the course in first semmester as I've been told.

So anyone taking the course should try to take it then

I hated Bio 2B03.

It really depends on what kind of a "bio" person you are. I'm an ecologist/enviro sci person, and I much prefer the "macro" level biology.

Bio 2D03 is a fantastic course if you're interested in plants and/or ecology. I loved this course! The labs are well put together and engaging, and Dudley does a good job of lecturing material she enjoys.

2B03 was such a boring course, almost made me want to switch into business at Ivey.

The only thing is that it runs through 3/5 of the afternoon lab times which means morning labs. But I also have morning classes. Boo! :(

Morning labs are not so bad as long as they're not chem labs
Of course that is just my personal take on it
