<p>does anyone know anything about this faculty?</p>
<p>Yes. It's up the hill (that's a pain, especially during the dead season), and honestly, not particularly stellar. In fact, my girlfriend, who got her B.Ed there, would have picked any other university for Education in retrospect. But McGill's name still carries prestige that better education faculties might not.</p>
<p>thanks for the info blobof (great name). would you know if the first year courses are very 'education' specific, so if you didn't like it & wanted to transfer to a different faculty the next year you would be able to use alot of the credits? i hope that's not too jumbled.</p>
<p>first year courses are actually just arts credits.
so if you're transferring from the faculty of arts, perfect.</p>
<p>thanks beatlespwr, & i guess you're saying edu 1st yr courses are all arts too.</p>
<p>thank you all for this thread! i started a similar one a few weeks ago, but no one responded.. ah well..</p>
<p>education is my 2nd choice for faculty (next to arts). if i remember correctly, the building is near the "shatner" building? that hill didn't seem too fun..</p>
<p>the building is about a block above shatner.
its not that fun of a hill. but its do able.</p>
<p>and yes, U0 (First year) education courses are just arts courses. like.. they say "go take classes in thefaculty of arts"</p>
<p>The U1 stuff should be relatively transferable. Once the field experience begins is another story (that's where the real program begins, and that's when most students decide to stick to education or not). During those semesters (1 per year), all one can take are education classes that are scheduled around the student teaching period, and their content and credit value doesn't match anything outside the faculty. So while "educational psychology" can fit in an arts (or possibly even a science) degree, a two credit "Assessment methods" class is pretty much worthless (period, my gf found only the field experience taught her anything about education).</p>
