Assignments are lots of work, and you do all the actual learning during them, even though this is a modelling course, they only spend about a total of 3/4 tutorials teaching the software.

Jun 30, 2021 birdiest electives to take 2 points, 5 comments

“Im looking for both CSE's and TE's to take! Looking for bird courses about anything for CSE's, and looking for the "easiest" TEs to take as well”

u/colaroga: “Easy TE? CIVE596 and CIVE343. My CSE's were STV100 and PSYCH101. I mainly choose electives based on whether or not they are actually offered or fit in my term schedule, not because I find them interesting.”
