Grading

Grading criteria are not always clear, making the process somewhat random. Some find it easy to get an A, but others feel their grades are inconsistent.

Workload

Assessments

Assessment includes biweekly journals (6 in total), tutorial presentations, quizzes, and a final closed-book multiple-choice exam.

Teaching

Professor David Palmer's lectures are engaging and well-received, with some students finding the tutorials helpful. However, feedback on journal entries is limited, which can make it hard to improve.

Tips

Form groups carefully for tutorials; write specific life cases in biweekly journals; actively participate in tutorials for part marks.
