Econ 2IO3 only because it replaces a commerce course if you're taking a minor.

STATS 2B03 - Does the course depend on the prof also ? or is the subject matter seem easy? Dr. Aaron Childs is teaching it this year but I've heard he's not a good prof (?) from RateMyProfessors.com or maybe because he taught the Math 1ZZ4 course and many people found him hard...

I find that 90% of the people that post reviews on RateMyProfessors are retards that failed because they expected high marks for no work. Notice how most of them can't even get the course code right...

I never actually attended any of his classes, but a lot of people I was with in first year engineering who did have him said he was awesome.

Dr. Aaron Childs is great. He did his Bachelors, Masters AND PhD, and was invited to do his post doctoral fellowship in statistics, all at McMaster...he was then subsequently offered a permanent teaching job.

THAT is what I call being in-demand...such a successful track record is quite rare! Not to mention, he won numerous awards for TAing as a student (You can see his name on the plaque in Gilmore Hall!) and was my boss when I was an undergraduate TA...I've got nothing but good things to say about him.

Well, it is kind of odd...that he seems very comfortable (and infact, amazing) in front of a classroom...but if you ever talk to him one on one, or bump into him in the hallway, he says 'hello' and seems kind of awkward around you, haha. I guess so are the ways of the mathematicians...or maybe he was just awkward around me...guess I smell bad or something



As for the course itself, Stats 2B03 is one of, if not, the easiest stats course at McMaster...it is mostly intuitive, and about determining which formula to use.

1) Kin 1y03- If you like memorizing, super easy
2) math 1L03- with lovric, such a joke
3) intro psych-really intersesting and if you took kin and bio 1M03, psych 1xx3 is really repetative of it

Phil 1B03 by Prof Stephan Rodde: A very interesting and easily graded course(though I heard that depends on the TA and mine was a very nice guy and rather lenient). I hardly went to lecture, hardly took notes. The Essay required no research or annoying citations, just a couple of course articles to read and form an opinion on: it was THAT simple

Geog 1HA3: Was annoying sometimes with an assignment almost every other week, however the assignments weren't challenging; simply time consuming and annoying especially when it came to group ones and your group slacked off. However the Midterm and Exams were pretty simple.

Sociology 1A06: Easiest course ever, if you were in Behnke Cooks class. Though I am probably biased because I took Sociology In highschool that is considered equivalent to 1A06 in alot of colleges. The stuff was ridiculously straightforward, the prof had an annoying habit of leaking most of the MCQ questions in class. And YES All you had to do for this course was 4 MCQ exams in two semsesters! Hence explaining the Battalion of Football Players joking around in the back rows of this class.

Hey Jeff I'm most probably thinking of taking 2I03, I heard and from the outline it sounds like it might be a bit of a handful compared to other courses like 2A03/2T03(labour) or 2J03. Was it hard as a course in other words?

Not really - the course had a lectureur rather than a prof (holmes I think) and was just a matter of read and repeat. No thinking, and the courseware is easy to get through - it was the easiest course of my minor (even HR was harder only because it was so boring getting through that class)
