[sinthusized]

An interesting class that is relevant to our everyday lives. I enjoyed the content and the instructor, dr. voros, is very strong and passionate.

Midterm =50%
Final = 50% * Non cumulative

I did not like the mark breakdown but the exams are not that difficult. The lectures are podcasted. I attended all of the lectures for the midterm and took good notes, however, I did not do as well as i would have liked to on midterm. For the exam, I missed a lot of classes and I ended up having to listen to 20 hrs of lectures before the exam. Not the best situation but my exam schedule afforded me one week to do this and I personally think that it helped me a great deal in the end because the questions based on what the profs says, word for word.

Anyways, a good course with a light workload - and it counts for the sociology degree.

do the midterm/exam questions come from lecture material or from the textbook? and does anyone have a course outline for this course?

comes all from the lecture material. there is no formal textbook, just two courseware's and a book. Anything that is covered in those texts are covered in lecture. Nothing further.

so would you recommend buying the courseware and book...or is a waste of money?

Does anyone know who the prof is for this course this term or the outline?

does anyone have the course outline for this course ?

does anyone have a course outline for this course????? thanks

I actually really like it so far! We just had a midterm yesterday, and it wasn't bad at all! All you have to do is just read all the required readings and go over her lecture notes, so minimal studying required!! I just don't like 3 hour long classes because I find it hard to concentrate after the first hour and a half :(! But so far, the topics are REALLY interesting! Definitely take it!

Thanks for the reply and info! It seems like a course I'd like but I'm hesitant because there's only a midterm and exam for evaluation. Ya I'm the same way with 3 hour classes, luckily it's during the day this coming year so it's broken up into 50 minute lectures.

Has anyone taken this course with Dr. David Penner? If so, how did you find it?
