    Helen Leung. She's one of my favourite profs in SFU. But some other girl is teaching it this semester but honestly, it's such an easy course! I didn't study for the midterm or final and ended up with an A. I think there was about like 5 pages of written notes (barely) that led up to the midterm and the final was pretty straightforward.

    ^ really? you thought crim220 was one of the hardest? wasn't that the one taught by Corrado?

    No, I had Martin Bouchard but my TA marked super hard! Plus, I hate research methods and I thought the workload was heavy, although it's exactly what I expected. My paper came up to 20 pages in total when Cartwright's class last spring semester was only 8!!!

    i thought econ 305 was ridiculously tough -_-

    and sci 300 was laughably easy

    Oh wait, that's right it was Bouchard with his sexy french accent and lame jokes HAHAH so THAT's the class I remember you from hahahah

    who was your TA?

    corrado taught the young offenders class

    edit: hmm, I suspect it's Andrea who's the TA. I think she's awesome, though a bit hard on the marking, but very informative.

    It was actually a 6-8 page paper. He actually made you do a 2 page draft which you could reuse word for word. So it was technically a 4 page paper....

    The funny thing was, it should have been a 20page paper with all the stuff he wanted. He specifically wanted a short paper but with all the details, which was somewhat impossible. Depending on if you had the TA marking it or him, you may have got the short end of the stick.

    It was kinda fucked actually. Doable nonetheless.

    Yeah, Andrea was the TA for everyone last spring. Freaking crazy marking but definitely informative and helpful. She was extremely prepared for each class and distributed tutorial workload equally. I just hated the material so much for that class!

    maybe i'm a bit biased, but I had her as TA for crim101 and 104 before, so I was used to her marking style for that class

    I had some other guy, forgot his name but he was tall and skinny for crim 210.

    He wasn't prepared but he was easy. Those exams were a joke for crim 210, I don't think I've ever gotten a higher mark ever in university.
