• Took this course during Fall 2024. I'd say about 40% of the content is a repeat of what was taught in PSYCH 212 so if you did well in that class, this class wouldn't be an issue for you. 5 MC quizzes, with top 4 counted towards final grade. One written assignment worth 20% that is less than 1000 words. If you're interested in EdPsych, then this topic will be of interest to you, otherwise it may get very boring. Everything in modules and textbook is fair game for the MC quizzes - always make note of key terms.

• Took the course online. There was no teaching, only textbook readings. 5 online quizzes, and two written papers. Quizzes had questions basically straight from the textbook. Written papers were easy, you just had to read the page or two from the textbook that were relevant, and you could easily pull out a 90+

• I managed to get an 80+ in this course, but it's NOT a bird course.
  Took it with Sarah Callaghan.
  Weekly quizzes where you select 5 of 11 to complete, but they're on a specific day and open for an hour-ish (50%). The final exam is in person ALL short-answer questions, and worth 50% of your final grade.

• The course itself is interesting and useful to know if you're trying to go into that field, but I hated the way it was taught. I took it online if its offered in person take that instead, hopefully it will be better.
  Everything was textbook based, and the modules take forever to get through. It was like Module 5: sections 5.1–5.8, but then Section 5.1 is actually split into 5.1a, 5.1b, 5.1c, 5.1d, 5.1e, 5.1f, etc., with each one being about a page long. You only had to do 5 out of the 12 quizzes, which were worth 30% of your mark, and there was a 20% assignment where you got to pick which week's content you wanted to do. 50% final, which is all short answer based on a case study. Don't…

• Interseting course, found the text online for free. You had 4/5 quizzes every other week and top 4 were graded. then a paper worth 35% and SONA was 3%. I did well and the quizzes were open book. Some research done by prof was in the quiz but the modules and textbook had very little information so that was hard but other than that good course and good prof. A bird course if you have it online.
