  • All that you have to do in the course is read/summarize a paper and answer a question Dr. Deakin assigns you. Yes, this course is easy, but the information is super important to stay as safe as possible when working in lab environments. Don't think you wanna die on coop.

  • Great and useful class. People don't really take it seriously though because they really should. Can actually be quite applicable to your work terms which is more than I can say about a lot of classes.

  • Very straightforward and required very little effort to keep up with until the final assignment. Make sure you put the proper time into completing it as you will only have one shot.

  • Very easy, only had class once a week but not every week. No final just an assignment that is very easy at the end of the term.
