The course consisted of 3 midterms and an assignment. All the material is interesting and relates to everyday life. Definitely a great course and not difficult to get a high mark

It was a really helpful class that actually can be applied to life and will help you a lot with your rec degree. The format is super manageable (three in-class tests and a paper) and still allowed you to learn a lot about the content.

REC 205 is very useful; I have definitely used it during my coop terms and in life in general -as cheesy as that sounds! The tests were fair but the paper we had to write (in partners) was kinda ridiculous. It may have been the TA who marked it but my partner and I received a *terrible* mark on something we thought we did really well on. Weird.
