Hi, I love that course so much that I changed programs as a result. I did well in that course without a major amount of work. It had 3 essays but none were more than 7 pages. One of those essays was in lieu of the mid-term. Having said all of that, that professor doesn't teach at Mac anymore so your experience may be different.

Good luck!

multimedia 1A and 1B.... very easy, also art history and classical archeaology. One of the art history is easier than the other because you just have to memorize terms and slides of pieces of art, I can't remember the course code though.
Good Luck!

a f ewpeople on this forum said that labour studies was fairly easy

Here's some info on their first year courses

What are gemstone courses? if no midterm or exam then what do they evaluate the students on? essays?

Any suggestions for an Engineering? So far I got Linguistics 1A03. I need 1 more course, and Im not too strong with writing essays.

I heard Gemstones is actually a hard course now. Too many people were taking it cause they thought it was a bird course, and the prof got pissed.

envir science 1a03
physics 1l03

Ya this course is no longer a bird course. I took it last year and there were 2 midterms and an exam. The midterms were 25 m/c choice questions and you had 25 mins to do it, so basically if you didn't know the answers right away you were screwed. The second midterm had a class average of about 52, do needless to say they were not easy questions. I definitely would not reccommend this course for anyone looking for an easy mark.

Does envir sc have lots of writing and essays?

There are a bunch of course outlines available, you can go through them all to see exactly what the course is composed of.

i'm confused now apparently Geo 1A03 is now health age 1BB3 according to the Mcmaster cource outline. Is this true because I registered for Geo 1AO3 thinking its the same aging of the population or is this nor in health age?
