dont take it second semester. you'd figure out why if you did. and what Commie8507 said is true. you'll be happier if you do it first term. and for some reason I thought Cossa wasnt teaching it next year? i dont know everyones convinced she wants to fail you but actually she tries to prepare you and help you. especially if you go see her individually. she'll help you with the report and give you insight into your future. all the guest speakers were great too! i thought she was a good prof. shes definitely a very good lecturer!
I didnt have the most amazing group and some of the members caused us to fail one of the reports (not by too much though!). dont be scared most people failed either one of both of the reports. but Cossa's tests were really fair and easy to do well on! thats what kept everyones mark up. many of us did very well and you can too
a good group is key though.... 3 of us in mine should have done the report ourselves.
