  • I find the course concepts weekly to be fairly interesting. Course load is reasonable with weekly quizzes (2%) and 3 assignments (roughly 25-30%). I was not a fan of the final two assignments (with fairly heavy weightings) being the same type of project. Assignment 2 is brainstorming essentially, and assignment 3 is the application to a research paper. I find that this is too much weight on one topic/activity because if you are uninterested or do not perform well, it will harshly affect your grade. The weekly quizzes were easy but not a great tool for how much you're learning (multiple choice is a bad reflection nowadays). More of a discussion-post-based class would have been interesting.…

  • Too much weight of your mark is based on 3 assignments for the course. Final assignment research paper is 35% of your grade. Otherwise, the course content/textbook was very interesting.
