Student review [#25968] for Education
at McGill University

I had a great experience at McGill University, however, the B.ED program is poorly designed. The education classes lack real-world application. The profs were great, however, it felt like they haven’t actually been in a classroom in a very long time and some of their information was totally outdated.

Besides the education classes, you have to obtain a major and a minor in your chosen teachable subjects. Standard English Literature and History classes just don’t provide any value to actually teaching these subjects. Taking random classes for both subjects, that are totally irrelevant to high school students did not prepare me for the classroom at all. I wish the English lit and history classes were actually geared towards adolescents and how to teach the material. Also, because you are taking education classes as well as two other teachable subject classes, your schedule will be all over campus so be prepared to walk as the Montreal Campus is HUGE!
