Course summary
CCGL9070 covers extensive content and can be quite demanding, especially the weekly essays and group project. It's well-suited for students interested in urban planning and history but may be overwhelming for those who struggle with heavy workloads.
Grading is generally generous, with D mentioning that only total scores above 90 get an A, though some find it varies between tutors.
Workload is considered heavy by many students, involving weekly essays and a large group project. The workload has been reduced in recent semesters but remains substantial.
Assessment includes a final essay, weekly short essays, required readings, a group project, and field trip reflections. Grading feedback can be generic for non-final essays.
The professor is described as passionate and knowledgeable with an Oxford and Harvard background but lectures are sometimes considered boring. Tutors are generally helpful and supportive.
Engage actively in the weekly readings and discussions, form a strong group with good communication, and seek feedback early to improve your essays.
