Chill and practical, grading system is kinda whack
- LeniencyNo
- WorkloadLight
this class is insightful and teaches very practical things; it’s actually quite chill as a class, but it’s the grading system that’s kinda whack. still had fun though! • workload = not that bad; there are a ton of readings throughout the sem and you only have to read them sometimes. there are a bunch of group works and you get to choose your group mates. had only two tests in the beginning of the sem, which were frankly a little ambiguous. • teaching style = mostly lectures, sometimes it’s both of them, sometimes it’s only one, but they go about a certain topic referring to a certain module (there are four modules for the entire sem). sometimes you wonder if what they are saying is actually true, then you actually find out it is, lol. a lot of recitation happens; sometimes they pull out the bunch of index cards when no one wants to recite— but typically everyone recites. i learned a lot from my classmates. • grading = this is their grading system: 25% the LT’s, 25% the case study (group work), 25% the group report (that’s a presentation), and 25% the individual oral exam (happens at the end of the sem). the reason why this feels a little bizarre is because for the entire semester you are actually learning quite a lot and feel great but then it really boils down to a certain requirement constituting a huge chunk of your grade, so you better make sure you’re conscious of them as they go. for some requirements, the way they grade is kinda obscure. overall, it was actually an okay class; it taught a lot of timely, important, and interesting things, but again, the grading is funky, so if you’re looking for an easy-A, this isn’t it 🤷🏽♀️more

C+ or B typical; A possible with effort

Hello. You are most likely to get a C+ or B (B+ or A with appropriate, but not too much, effort). Long Quizzes are the hardest assessments as they can be confusing, but they are just based on Doc’s onsite lectures so take notes. Mean score is 15/20. Reflection Paper nets relatively high score, with mean 45/50. Group reporting usually falls around 52/60. Not that challenging, just follow the rubrics. Then we have oral exams, consisting of explaining one of four quotes from well known scientists. Just make sure to have a good grasp of the lectures and good index cards (which we were allowed to have). Mean score 88/100. Take note that our class scores here were quite varied, which I assume hinges on how well you’ve grasped and applied the concepts. Overall, you are guaranteed to pass with decent effort, but getting B+ or A will take some effort. I suggest just attending class, taking proper notes, and doing your requirements properly and in accordance with the rubrics. TIP: Attend as much as possible. We only had attendance 5-6 times this semester, and how often you appeared was used by Doc as how many bonus points you get for the quizzesmore
