Easiest:
MKTG2002 - if you've done MKTG1001 with Paul Henry. You'll be used to his exam format. The subject is also very light on assessments, and is very enjoyable. It's not marked harshly, and the tutors (apart from Karem) are great! I got 90 in this subject, which is amazing for an economic and business fac. subject.
Hardest: GOVT1406 - no other subject has pissed me off more. the lecturer doesn't put up lecture notes. the tutors are morons. the marking is incredibly harsh. and worst of all, i learned nothing.
ECMT1010 - this was a hard one for me, as i hadn't done maths before. That's the main reason for its difficulty. Fuck GOVT1406.
what does GOVT1406 have to do with ECMT 1010?? LOL!

re: INFS - hmmm im considering doing it just to get an HD. Did you get an HD, latvia? Do you have to design a website or something?
The "easiest" one I mentioned should be different from the one you're considering doing. You're thinking about INFS 1000 (Business Information Systems Foundations), right? That to me, is actually harder than INFS 2001 (Business Information Systems), the one I wrote about. But for people with quite an extensive background knowledge in IS (Yeah Stazi I know ur 100% l33t!) it could be a different story.. and I didn't get a HD for either of them. It's not my highest score but I don't think one's grades necessarily measure the easiness/hardness of a subject.
INFS 2001 seemed comparatively easier maybe cuz what you learned in INFS helps your understanding in INFS 2001 (some parts overlap).
Yes I did have to design a website for 1000 (that's the group-of-2 project) but the true focus of it wasn't the technical aspects.....they focus more on the material you put up on your webpage.. so even if you made a site that WOWs ppl at first sight you won't necessarily get a high mark for that.
When I did it, we had to do an annotated bibliography, a website, a spreadsheet (this was difficult in terms of time constraints + being an in-class assessment..but luckily it was only counted 5%) and a database task (then final exam).. but for the following semester they seemed to reduce it to just 3 assessments then final. (think they eliminated the spreadsheet task but I'm not sure....)
When people tell you it's easy, they probably meant it's easy to "pass" this subject. I kinda remember the lecturer(s) saying they won't make the exam extremely difficult (they're not trying to trick you or trap you into failing) and it's not difficult to pass, but to get a D or HD you need to really answer the questions deeply (showing that ur not just bullshitting along). The students, when studying this subject might tell you "OMG DIZ IS LYKE the hardest subject I'm studying right now" but after finals and results they would say it's easy....but next time you can ask them..ok did you get a HD?
:wave: nice, I wrote so much and you read it all!
