I took it last sem and Dr. Rink taught it-not Dr. Riller. For Dr. Rink, we had 2 midterms worth 35% each and the final which was 30%. Both midterms were pretty easy (it was all MC). Class averages were 68% and 71%. Exam was pretty much the same. We had two hours to write it but everyone was done in like 30 minutes lol.
From the outline posted in the Earth sc 2gg3 webpage with Dr. Riller for this sem
(http://www.science.mcmaster. ca/geo/undergraduate/courses/secondyear/earth2gg3/index.html) the course is a lot different now...
