  • This was a very manageable workload and is an interesting course if you are considering going into an education career. While I did find the lecture/readings to be pretty dry and extensive, the assessments are all very fair. From what I remember, the course consisted of weekly/biweekly quizzes, 2 larger written assignments, and a end-of-term reflection assignment. A huge godsend was the 4% SONA bonus + 2% bonus marks that they just decided to give to everyone... 6% !!!
