• Took this course in Winter 2026 with Dr. Perlman. This course provides a very broad overview on the mental health system of Canada so some of the readings are quite long as they are reports by organizations or agencies. Grades are based on a midterm, a final exam, and a scaffolded assignment around a policy memo (problem selection, annotated bibliography, policy memo, then infographic/presentation of the policy memo). Unfortunately the TAs do have a bit on an influence in grading the assignments as one seems to be harsher than the other. To do well on the midterm and final, make sure to attend class to catch stuff that he leaves out of the slides.

• Professor is very engaging and passionate about the course. However, the midterm was a bit confusing because it was hard to know what concepts to study and what concepts not to study. He released a study review for the midterm but when someone asked in the learn discussion forum if we should be studying from the study review, the TA answered that all of the content is fair game. Why would we receive a study review if it's all tested material? On the bright side, the assignment is divided into 5 parts in which it is very easy to do well in and quite enjoyable.

There was a 20% fact sheet, 3 term tests (2 15%, 1 20%), 5% participation, and 25% policy brief. The tests were all online, open for 24 hours and were definitely not the easiest to write, you need to have gone to class to do well on the tests. But when you're in class everything feels like common sense. The tests tend to have specific questions and lots of tricky true and false questions. There were also short answers on her tests as well, but these were not hard. The fact sheet was done with a partner of your…

• IDK Y the kids were hating this semester when this was like the easiest class ever! Dr.Mulla is such an angel and an easy marker as well, very thoroughly explained. I guess the bitches that were hating were dumbasses that never did anywork and was just dumb in genral when the class avergae was like a 89.
