I'm currently taking 237 with Kamal Masri and it's not bad as long as you keep up with the readings and workload. The assignments can take along time especially the 2nd one but it's assigned 3 weeks prior to due date. Class average for the midterm was around 60% and the highest mark was 51/60.

Pros:

The class with Michael Johnson so far is pretty chill. Instead of starting at 8:30 in the morning, we start at 9. And sometimes he lets us out early. He is great at articulating the concepts and is a really great lecturer.

Also the concepts are not difficult to grasp. The material is basically statistics with topics such as ; sample mean, population mean, hypothesis testing, probability etc

If you take it with Mike Johnson you will have to do 2 partner assignments so choose your partner wisely. The rest of the assignments are like loncapa math only you get unlimited tries.

Cons:

The midterm was quite long and moderately difficult. You`ll definitely feel rushed to finish the questions. Although the format of the exam is all multiple choice, it`s all entirely word problem questions. So if you can`t do that then you are so screwed for this class. There are 40 questions each consisting of word problems and you`re only given less then 120 min. Doing all the problem sets will help you but the exam was still hard.

Average was 70%.


Now this is a general question for everyone


Has anyone taken Bus 237 ?

Can anyone provide feedback on that course and provide ways to do well I just need B+ in the course. My prof is Maryam ficociello btw.
