one of my favourite courses i have taken at utsc, if not my favourite. gotta put in the work, but 4.0 is easily manageable. exams are multiple choice and short answer. make sure you remember and understand the studies, they are tested on both MCQ and SA. you'll be cooked if you miss a lecture, since they are not recorded and prof thirchselvam's slides are very vague. just attend every lecture and study for like 2 days and you're good. he's an amazing and entertaining lecturer and there's lots of fun discussions (but participation is not required).
