Bad organization, bad TAs, boring boring boring boring boring. Oh, and because the professor is some kind of paranoid spaz, the lectures have all pictures removed from them. So even if you attended lecture, you still won't remember whatever the **** it is you were looking at. 
 
I'd rather do more actual physics than sit through this quasi-memorization drivel.

 Kinda.
 
1. Presentation, which the TAs actually tell you will be 'marked down' so later it can be 'marked up' (???bellcurving???).
 
2. "Journals" on no specific basis ('just do them by November, hurrrr').
 
3. Forced "participation for marks" BS that is quite frankly the most annoying crap ever.

 1) Thats just whacked 
2) That sounds like something Id end up doing the week they are due 
3) Participation marks are stupid in general. But I guess they are easy marks in a way

 OUT MAH THREAD BEYOOOTCH!
 
No really, I took Anthro 1Z03 on a whim, then when I realized that I can learn anything offered by that faculty and all the others (except for science and engineering) in half the time and with zero of the stress, I dropped it.

 Same.
 
I even tried doing it backwards, then I realized it makes zero sense backwards, and that I was just 'looking' at it. I literally don't care at this point, I'm just going to study for cell biology and wing this POS final for this POS course.

		 Haha, I'm definitely only studying for this exam tomorrow. Content is pretty simple to me, I didn't bother going to lecture for the past few weeks though. And I can't wait to get cell biology over with....hate that course.

 This term in terms of content has just been utter garbage.

 I agree. I hate when profs/TAs say "As long as you talk about something in tutorial, you'll get marks." Why?? What is the point of this. I learn nothing from hearing other students' opinions, or by stating my own.
