  • This is a bird course, but the marking scheme is different during the pandemic where the class is all online. Instead of simple multiple choice midterm and finals, I had to write 4 essays total with a word count of 1250-1750 each with plenty of references. If you're taking the class online, be prepared for it to take some time out of your schedule that you would normally have.

  • Prof. Nepal made this course. Excellent as a professor and super enjoyable. Definitely a bird course, but still super interesting.

  • This is definitely a bird course. A lot of the information is common knowledge, and even if you don't know it, it is not in-depth and easy to understand. If you put in the slightest effort before the tests, and I mean like a couple hours, earning a 90 is definitely obtainable.

  • I really enjoyed learning more about Canada! The course provided a really nice overview. Assignments and tests and final exam were pretty easy and fun to write.

When do you usually check your grades? 3 points, 10 comments

“Grades came out today. View Poll”

u/ComputerBunnyMath123: “It might not be a good idea to procrastinate too much because if there's an adjustment required for marks (i.e., incorrect marking or data-entry error) you should tell the prof ASAP”

u/ComputerBunnyMath123: “Some profs release mark breakdowns on LEARN. That was the case for GEOG222, and some other courses like in CS486 I found that you could tally up the marks manually on LEARN and verify to see if it adds up.”
