Minivals every week and it conflicts with every midterm I have LOL. Anyhow, this was a great course that provide a broad overview of the field of scientific research. Lots of people found it tough but as long as you do your READINGS throughly and pay attention to the prof in class, the minivals were pretty straightforward

The content is actually interesting if you are interested in how research is achieved and processed. Sit in the front, otherwise it will be hard to pay attention (required course, so not many people CHOOSE to take it - lots of chatter). Weekly quizzes are lecture and textbook based, so be sure to read the textbook. No other assignments. Case studies and examples are applicable to kinesiology. Videos during lecture are interesting.
