Earth Sci 2WW3
I am planning to take this course next term with Dr. Maclachlan. Does anyone have any feedback on the course such as how his exam is like and how the course is overall? Thanks!

Online quizzes were amazingly easy. I ended up doing them in a group and never got below 90%. There was one assignment, and he gave 2 months to do it. It honestly took a few hours and you can check with other people in the class to see if your answers were right. The exam was alright. He wasn't too specific on what was on it, but it was mainly questions from the quizzes again

Do you get the mark/correct answers after you submit?

No, we usually had to wait a week or so. Also, only 1 attempt
