made for very strong engineering, maths AND computer background! save your cgpa and take a lighter 3 credit course. i should have followed advice here https://www.reddit.com/r/mcgill/comments/bmm0q0/sead_550_and_sead_540_advise/

advanced stats, mathLAB, classworks, assignments, group projects and presentations. lecture-heavy, no tutorials

professor's advice: do better next time. someone got 100% so i am doing it right

received major grades after voluntary withdrawal date. 15% before VW deadline and 30% midterm a day after deadline. guides were nothing related to actual exam. people with 100% before midterms still failed!
