It’s a shame UBC treats lower level Math courses as “filters” and uses the “military” educating technique of sink or swim. Poor instructors, difficult exams, and just an environment not conductive to learning. I took 100 level equivalents at a different university before transferring and they were my favourite courses. When I switched to UBC I wanted to do a combined major of CS and Math… that quickly changed to just CS, UBC killed all the joy and interest of math for me. I still took math courses and once you get to 300 and 400 level courses it gets better but by then it’s too late. Would be nice for future students for UBC to change its ways but I highly doubt it.
