  • I really enjoyed this course, Dr. O is so engaging, she's an amazing teacher! I loved the lecture content we went through. You don't need the readings to do well. Also, the tests are a bit tougher than they seem even though they're online, so study adequately. There are weekly tutorial assigment's, but they are pretty light. There is a Part A and B essay assignments, but it shouldn't be too bad.

  • I honestly quite liked this course. I found the material fairly interesting and Dr. Ogrodnik did her best to make it engaging as well. The concepts covered were pretty much common sense for the most part and it wasn't anything unreasonably difficult to grasp, coming from someone with no sociology background. Tutorial assignments were a little tedious at times, papers were okay so long as you don't cram at the last minute, and the midterm and final exams were online, open book. Overall not impossible to get a decent grade.

  • Didn't go to lectures, easy bonus if you do, I didn't care to. Easy attendance but post tutorial activities were incredibly specific. Try not to lose any marks on tutorials cuz these add up. The quizzes were meh with lots of options and "select all that apply" so study ahead. Let me tell you something about the written assignments. Absolute dog shit grading from the TAs. If you feel like they didn't mark it fairly, please go argue/appeal with the TA and even escalate to regrade if necessary. So much discrepancy between TAs. This was the only course this semester that absolutely broke my heart. It is not hard at all but somehow they made this course anal? IDK. Proceed with caution.

  • The lecture content itself is quite boring, but Dr. Ogrodnik is an engaging lecturer. The tutorials can also be dull, but it’s worth making the most of them. The post-tutorial assignments are frustrating; however, if you start your position paper components early and avoid cramming, you can still do well. There are two 40-question quizzes, both online and unproctored. Most of the questions were application-based and fairly subjective.

  • Your grade depends on your TA; always ask for a regrade if you get below a 75% on an assignment, because it's likely just your TA.
    Content is boring, questions on tests are confusing, all look the same.
