  • Easy when you do weekly/biweekly assignments and finals was a take-home exam, similar to all the assignments

  • NOT a bird course! There are weekly writing assignments which aren't too bad... but two killer 10+ page reports due at the end of the term, which (for me at least) interferes with time you should be studying for exams! The learning outcome of the course is definitely not worth the work load!!! Don't take this as an elective if you don't have to take it!! You've been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I took this course because I am unsure of what career I want to pursue. This course goes through a lot of assessments & quizzes to learn more about yourself but it did not help me in my career decision. There are reflections due weekly and is a very easy course as long as you pay attention in class!

  • You won't miss much if you don't go to all the lectures, most of them are pointless and she just reads off the slides. Pretty easy course, if you do the work it's an easy A. There's just one midterm, a final major assignment, and a take home exam.
