  • Interesting course material. I found a lot of the content to be very subjective, however, but presented as indisputable fact.

  • Learned some really cool things in this course. There are a lot of readings but most of them are pretty interesting. Assignments are easy but also really unique and interesting.

  • Absolutely ridiculous course. The majority of the class struggled and failed the midterms. I managed to do really well. The marking scheme is super extra but once you figure it out you're good to go. Attendance was mandatory and too much group work for my liking.

  • Really interesting course, had a good balance of in-class and textbook content. Marks were made up of a 40% group mediated speech and essay assignment, 10% group project, two 15% tests and a 20% essay. Not a difficult course.

  • There was a group paper that we had to write, which could go either well or terribly depending on your group so be prepared for that.
