It's not a hard course if you studied, and yes, like a lot of the other comment said, have a brain and think, you should do well. However, I just don't recommend anyone taking it unless it is necessary. First of all, I think about 75% of the course content is a review of high school and first-year content. I don't feel like I learned a lot of new stuff walking away (courses like BCH210/311, PSL300/301 are more difficult but I feel like I learned something over the semester). With that said... I feel like they just took a bunch of easy and straightforward contents and make it complicated (especially test and exam) so that it looks like a second-year course. I did well in this course, better than a lot of other courses, but really, my least enjoyed course at U of T..... I feel like I spend my time and didn't learn much new content, that frustrates me.

The First half of the course is basic stuff you learn in high school. Midterm was a easy 100 with minimal studying . The Final was a bit harder but if you did the homework problems it was still easy to ace.

I agree with Anoninymous from Feb 16, 2010. I took it 2011 summer and if you study hard and have brain to think, this course is pretty easy. but not easy.

This course is actually very easy IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN ie you can think and apply concepts rather than just blindly memorize and regurgitate like a machine.
