I end up get 82, which is a very good grade. However, this course should belong to health science/public health imo. You learn something, but overall course would be less motivating than expected. You may get a great grade tho

It is a great mark booster, no midterms but it does have 3 projects and an open book in class exam

Really enjoyed this course. If you keep up with the readings, which are pretty easy, and you answer at least one question per class, you'll get 100 for participating. Class is mostly group work, which again, in my opinion is not hard at all.
Further, this class is actually enjoyable due to being on the smaller side. In addition, Professor Middleton's enthusiasm is great and she really does care about her students being successful. So don't be afraid to approach her with any questions. Showing up to class is important, but she does allow for 3 classes to be missed that won't affect participation grade.
I highly recommend this course for those interested!Nov 2018 · liked itOn UW FlowRemove this
Only take this course if you enjoy class discussion. You don't really learn anything new, you just discuss your opinion on certain things with the rest of the class. You get marks for class participation. Only one final exam at the end of the semester, which is open book and a couple presentations to do throughout the term

[deleted]: “Hey everyone, was wondering if any one took KIN 418 and tell me how it was? I've been trying to find the course outline, but it seems that it isn't on the KIN website. For those who took it, what was the grade breakdown like? M/C midterms or essay midterms? Final exam? Thanks!”
