  • Sex ex class, I didn't put a lot of effort but passed the class with a decent score. Be sure to do readings as they are tested.

  • So the class work itself is pretty easy - the in class assignments are easy and you can easily half ass the assignments and still get 90s. However I didn't like that the prof only taught for the first half of the course, the second half it was a guest speaker literally every lecture. Also her tests are THE WORST. Every single question is 'choose the best answer' where every answer is correct, and they are all on super specific things. This is the only reason I would say this is not an easy class, or a birdy class.

  • Loved this course. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. It was information I can use in my everyday life and was a class I never wanted to skip. Definitely take it if you are at all interested.

u/Ahskid_3: “I took smf 213 with the same prof in winter, the lectures are very interesting but her exams are tough with barely enough time. Idk how she’ll do 212 probably similar.”

Dropping 1 point, 11 comments

“Hi guys I just started my course online and I was wondering if I can drop the course and change it to another? If so, can anyone recommend bird courses?”

u/flyingginge: “The SMF courses are a good choice. If you just show up to class and do the readings (they're so easy) then you should be fine. I did SMF 204 and SMF 213, and they were honestly the most chill classes ever.”
