Hey, I'm trying to decide between these three for an elective second year, what do you think? I'm looking for something easy yet interesting and I'm not especially fond of essays.


CLASSICS 2MT3: ANCIENT ROOTS OF MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY - No one seems to have any information about this course o.O

CMST 2R03: POPULAR MUSIC IN NORTH AMERICA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM: POST-WORLD WAR II

EARTH SC 2WW3: WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT

While walking in hallways and waiting for class to start I'd overheard multiple times that EARTH SCI 2WW3 is a bird course. I haven't personally taken it.

and someone mentioned something about the professor teaching classics in this thread:

Take water and the environment. It has interesting material but is essentially easy. The prof gives major hints for quizzes (3 attempts), tests, and exams as well. Majority of the answers (95%) comes from his lecture slides and the other 5% from the textbook (but it's still easy to get the answer right). Plus he's funny. Let me know if you have more questions

Take Earth Sci 2WW3, it is a bird course. The online quizzes make up 40% of your mark, and you can easily get 100% or at least 90% on all of them. The essay is 20% and it is straightforward. As for the exam, it is just 6 case studies and an essay. I never read the textbook for this class, and barely studied for the exam, and got a 12 easily.

Edit: Also, I am not to fond of writing essays, and found that the term paper and essay on the exam were really easy. Don't let the essay component of the course prevent you from taking the course.

I took the course with Bernier last term (Winter 2013). And to answer your second question, unfortunately, I don't him personally just a fan lol.
