  • A interesting course content wise, but the delivery and structure of the course seemed a bit disorganized at times. The final exam was in STC1012 and we had assigned seating, but instead of putting the assigned seats in corresponding rows (i.e. A1 in row 1) they just laid out all of the papers in a semi alphabetical order side by side with no space between students. We had 350 students all crammed at the front in one of the biggest lecture halls on campus and didn't start until 15 minutes after the scheduled exam time because it took so long for everyone to find their seats. Overall a good course content wise and I think people should take it.
