    stuck in the middle with PSL302…

    February 5, 2002

    I want to die right now. I’m stuck between whether to drop my PSL302 course or stick with it. My mark stands at a pathetic 53% at the moment. If I drop it, i’m left with the option of taking it in summer school which means stay in toronto (i’m from way out of town), waste more money, let go of a well paying summer job and also the possibility of going to Europe. Or, I take the course in my 4th year or the summer after 4th year or totally drop the idea of getting a human bio specialist. If I don’t drop it, chances are I won’t make a 70% and my GPA will be at a all time low which will not impress MBA schools or any graduate schools. If you were me, what would you do? Part of me wants to drop the course but if I do, will I do better in my other courses because I have less work or will they still suffer? Are summer courses that much easier as people say they are? HELP!

    go to the writing centre, get higher marks

    December 13, 2001

    Do you have any advice on to go beyond a ‘C+’ while doing
    essays?? I’m a science track student doing Scientific Revolutions and just got
    back an essay evaluated at 69%. I know that I can write well! What’s a gal to
    do??

    having an ‘off-year’

    November 26, 2001

    Hi,
    I’m in the midst of what could generously be called an “off-year”. This being my second year, how much will a bad year affect my chances of getting into graduate school? What marks do they look at when considering students for enrollment? Give me some good news!
    Thanks

    grad schools like wide loads

    January 29, 2001

    does it matter if you take a full course load (5 courses) or not? ie for post grad entry.
