This course is really helpful in many aspects. It is the starting point for getting into the environment aspect of business. Many people would gladly wake up at 8:00 a.m. to go to this class!

The prof isn’t very engaging but the class is relatively short only being 50 minutes twice a week. Very easy to follow unless u get unlucky and it ends up being at 8:30 like it was for me.

professor was really sweet and seems to love his job and what he does, small stakes assignments during the tutorials were fairly easy and so was the other large assignment we had but the lectures got boring really quickly, midterm was online and easy, final was hard asf

Boring class with some interesting lectures. Very easy to not pay attention or not take notes because of how boring it can be. Professor tried to make it engaging but it only worked sometimes. Mostly based on writing assignments and 2 tests during the term 1 as a midterm and 1 as a final. Connects well to INDEV 100. Not really bird course unless you excel at essays, op-eds etc.

The class isn't designed to be tricky or complicated in any way, the tests can be a bit challenging but assignments are fun and easy

u/Many_Leather1501: “The lecture slides are extremely vague and he did not give any units that the short or long answer question will be from. I assume this exam will be similar to the SFM 101 exam that was on Friday.”
