Comments on the course

Horrible course! do not listen to any one who says that this is a bird or that they did not study for it, because you do actually need to study. i got a fkn 11 because i was 1 mark away on the exam from getting a 12. i needed an 80 and i got a 79 on the exam and i 11ed this fkn class. the class is also wayyyyyyy too dependent on the final exam which is 50%. there are 2 tests in this class but only your top test is used so the other test doesnt even matter. the weight of the class could have been moved to maybe include both tests but noooo a 50% final exam basically determines your whole grade. i got 100% on everything else. moodle, med terms, and on one of the 2 tests, but that wasnt enough apparently cuz i made one extra mistake on an entirely mc test. do not listen to the people wh...read more

Comments on the course

Required course. The only purpose of this course existing is to waste students' time and make students' lives miserable.

Course Content

Total nonsense. Example: identify 14 research papers for a reading plan when first-year students are only a couple weeks into the Masters/PhD. Advisors aren't even pushing students to identify a research direction yet.

Comments on the professor

No hate on the professor except for asking us to use a lockdown browser for IN-PERSON, but ONLINE quizzes, which is total nonsense. How about a written test?

Advice

Students would actually study a little of the course is not intentionally acting like an antagonist.
