I have heard so much about this gen-ed, can someone who's done it please share what it's like? Better yet, does anyone have the course outline with the assessments, I found it but no assessment details. What assessments are involved?

Thank you so much!

What time is yours?

And there are like 600-800 spots from memory. That is quite a lot. Everyone should be able to enrol into this course assuming that they do it right away when they're eligible to.

You misjudge its popularity and the number of students who want to enrol into it. I am also trying to enrol into it tomorrow.

I recall last semester, it initially had 350 spots available, then periodically, it increased to 700 spots.

Managed to enrol into it. Also, the server was relatively faster than previous enrollments.
