This class was tough.
Course Overview:
My classmates either thoroughly enjoyed or hated this class. The same applies for the professor. Personally I really enjoyed the class and really liked the professor. Some great discussions in tutorial. Grades ranged from A's-D's, but the students in my class mostly received B's and C's. It has some tough material, but when your done with this course you'll feel as though you actually learned something and are more intelligent as a result.

Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
DO the readings (twice if necessary) and take really detailed notes in lecture. DONT skip this class. Attendance is essential to obtaining a good grade in this course because my professor did not post any lecture notes. The good news is that his lectures are centred around a set of study questions that are available to you. He uses those study questions to make the questions on the test. In my year his tests had one question per reading to which you are expected to write a long answer. DO visit the professors office hours. He'll work through questions with you thoroughly and make sure you understand the concepts. For reference, I took this class in second year and got an A.
