This course has 3 hour lectures which are obviously annoying, but other than that the prof is nice, he just talks a lot but if you just listen it's very easy to get a 90 because many things are repeated

Terribly uninteresting. You're basically just memorizing acronyms and definitions which made it an overall dry class. Quizzes were online and easy. Midterm was ridiculous.

You will remember PDCA. Other than that, finger-crossed with your exams.

u/kidwithoutahat: “… if I hadn't failed out but Quest is telling me I'm not allowed to take two of the courses (ENBUS 202 and 204). I'm assuming this is because it's blocked for only ENBUS students. Is there any way I could contact someone about getting permission to take these two courses? …”
