It’s nice that there are only lectures for the first few weeks of the class, but your workshop and reflection performance are highly dependent on your group and whoever is marking you (the TAs mark hard). Be smart with the workshop that you choose. It’s hard to enjoy the course if you don’t enjoy the workshop. Not a bird course. Found it to be very frustrating, and it’s hard to enjoy your time with the kids because you’re constantly worried about how every little thing you do is going to be perceived by the prof/TA.
