A decent workload with the 'VHL' homework. It's participation heavy, which I like. Learning and tutorials were in-person, with assessments online which I thought was a good workflow.

Span 101 vs Ital 101, which is better? 2 points, 6 comments
“What are the breakdowns for each and which would be easier to get a decent grade in? And is more enjoyable? And is less work? Span seems to have in person lectures so does that mean in person exam?”
u/n5234ad99: “… The exam is at the discretion of the professor (SPAN201A was entirely in-person this fall, but had an online exam). The breakdown also varies by prof. When I took Span101, we did a video as a final project, some quizzes (tests) and an exam. …”
