C Fall 2021 Chuck Molson
Prof. Molson is amazing, though the course kind of tricks you. The first half is unbelievably easy, but the second half was stuff I'd never heard of before, mostly various statistical tests. Also, exam is either 60% or 90% depending on if it benefits your grade or not, so lots of pressure but it's at least somewhat flexible, though this means the midterm is either 30% or 0%.

final was much more challenging than the midterm, but still not that bad

all online quizzes gave you plenty of time to find the exact instructions on how to solve each question. never read the material going into each quiz, read for the first time the night before the exam, studied 2 hours, got a 98. sound easy enough for you?
