Professor Chanway is a great professor who sets out clear expectations for the course from the get-go. As long as you make an effort in the course and keep up with the material, you're going to do well. Professor Chanway is also a very flexible and understanding professor, and the course material is interesting, would definitely recommend!!!

Took this class to fulfill a science requirement, he easily got me in very last minute. Very chill, not very tech savvy so be patient. Hes super nice but since the course was online this year it was super test heavy. Final worth 65% and the rest is a midterm but he gives you the questions beforehand so you know what can be on it. Really recommend!

Easiest class ever! Content can be boring BUT the professor provides the questions to the exams weeks prior to the actual exam. On the day of the exam because the exam is online and non-proctored it is an OPEN BOOK exam. Highly recommend doing the questions, so you know what to expect.

The absolute best professor and class hands down. He is so kind and always available to answer any questions you have. I found the class to be super eye opening and it taught me so much interesting information about forestry. If you need a science credit take this class!! Will be the best decision of your life.

One of THE best profs I've had at UBC. He is very enthusiastic about his subject, incredibly helpful, and very understanding of pushing back deadlines and whatnot. His marking scheme is more than reasonable and focuses on learning rather than stressing about grades, which NO other class I've taken has. Would 100% take anything by this professor.

He is so kind towards students. If you have any questions just ask him and he will give you a very clear answer. He is passionate about the course. He is very clear on what information you are required to know. The class is stress free. The exams are closed book but he will give you a selection of questions weeks prior to exams. Took as elective

Easiest A+ of my life. The professor gives out the exam questions weeks before the exam. All you have to do is do the questions in advanced and check with Chanway to see if they are correct. Once you know they are correct, on the day of the exam, just copy and paste your answers you got confirmed by Chanway! Easiest course ever! ZERO effort :)

LOVED taking Professor Chanway's class last semester. I don't even have a background in Science, but I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Chris was the most understanding and accommodating professors I've ever had. If you want to take a stress-free, wholesome course, take FRST 303.

Dr. Chanway is one of the most caring and hilarious profs I have ever had in my 5 years at UBC. Very accommodating professor and cares for his students. Also has funny jokes in class. Content of course is interesting if you like the outdoors and I always wondered about the trees in the backcountry of BC.

One of the nicest and caring profs I've had! I took this for my science req and it's pure memorization, but an easy A with one midterm and final. Attendance isn't mandatory as all info is on powerpoints. Highly recommend this class as an elective or science req - I have NO background in science, but much of it reminded me of bio 11/12

As an Arts student, I was so intimidated by the science requirement! This class almost made me want to switch to Forestry!! You can tell that Chris cares a lot about his students and our success!

One of the best profs I've had at UBC. He truly cares about his students and genuinely wants everyone to do well. FRST 303 was not a super hard course and if you put the time in, you will be rewarded. Only graded on a midterm and the final!

Yeah, this class is easy. Only graded by a midterm and a final (very easy if you do the work). But I've learned more about forestry and the way that plants work in this class than in any other class! It's such a low stress environment that the material really sticks with your brain. It's great to take if you need a GPA AND mood boost. Coolest prof.

Awesome course where everything is clearly communicated to students regarding what they should be taking out of each lecture and what is to be examined. Lecture slides are specific and the prof is very responsive through email. He is always willing to help!
