Hey guys,

So there's a bunch of different profs teaching Econ 2G03, I want to take it with Hannah Holmes in Term 2. However, she's teaching one core and another prof is teaching a different core. Does that mean she can't give her usual bonus marks, because I heard in the summer class, she gives a lot of bonus marks, but would that be fair for her to do when there's another prof teaching another core?

Would it be better to take this course in the summer with just Holmes, or in the term?

I'm trying to get it with Holmes, however it's full. The other prof hasn't been too popular amongst the students on account of teaching and testing styles.

i would say ivanov is the hardest of them

Hannah Holmes gives out lots of bonus marks in 2G03. The other cores are taught by other profs and are completely separate -- different order, different tests. When I took 2G03 with Holmes, we wrote our exam with Bruce's core of the same class -- we wrote a two hour exam and they wrote a three hour. It's taught completely differently.

Our midterms were out of 20 and she gave us 2 marks in bonus - one in class that we'd earned beforehand (I think we had to identify a nascar driver by his number and then submit it to her, easy stuff as long as you're in class to receive it) and one was given to everyone. That's a 10% bonus on each test.

There were 3 or 4 in class quizzes that counted as bonus marks for the exam, which we could work together on. They weren't marked for correctness, just completion so everybody who showed up got the grades. Each counted as a 1 mark bump on the final, which was out of 35. So we got bumped around 10% on the final too if we'd done them all.

In short: take it with Holmes. And go to class.
