“I am looking to take a block course in the Spring term (a shorter, more intensive course). Does anyone have any experiences with these courses? What was the workload like? …”

u/shhyfz: “which course?”

u/lonegun_men: “I am not looking to find out information about a particular course, although I am looking within the Arts faculty. There are quite a few block PSCI and SOC courses running in the Spring including PSCI 254, 257 and SOC 246 and 349.”
