  • Very easy course! Information was somewhat dry. Many weeks are taken up by presentations. A couple assignments but no exam.

  • Definitely do the weekly assignments vs the one final paper. Yes you have to do them every week but she marks them pretty easy. Even if you do get a bad mark you can always ask her what you did wrong and she'll tell you exactly what you need to get 100% on them.
