For many years over the last five decades or so, Statistics 230 was taught in 36 fifty-minute lectures (3 per week for a 12-week term) plus a weekly fifty-minute tutorial where students could seek individual help from the instructor or a TA with assignments or other course-related matters. It was typically offered in all three terms -- Fall, Winter and Spring -- of each academic year.
Stat 230 was a prerequisite for Stat 231, the companion introductory statistics course; Ststistics 230 had a prerequisite of Math 137, a one-term course in differential and integral calculus.
The recommended text for the course was Kalbfleisch, J.G. Probability and Statistical Inerence. Volume 1. Probability. Second Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1985; starting likely in the 1990s, this text was supplemented by course notes, which increased in length and coverage over the years.

The one side of (two or three) questions for discussion in a tutorial were distributed at that tutorial to each student in attendance.
In their original versions for students, the midterm and final examination were (of course) printed one-sided and on legal-sized paper to allow more space for solutions.
