AMATH/PHYS/PMATH courses with no final exam, or that are project/assignment oriented? 2 points, 4 comments
u/maractite: “… are in the winter You could also probably look into the special topics/readings courses (AMATH 495 or PHYS 490), or the research projects (PHYS 437A and 437B), though I've never taken any of them so can't give any thoughts on the content.”
u/5FqfS: “pmath 9xx courses don't typically have exams, the grade is either from assignments or a final project or both. idk what will be offered in the upcoming fall term, but you can see past offerings here”
u/daddyRiemann: “Aren't PMATH 9xx courses super hard though? Like aren't they the final year grad courses? Or are they just Topics/readings courses like PMATH499/AMATH495 ?”
