    yes, “pre”requisite really does mean before!

    May 26, 2002

    Hi! I am wondering…….I don’t have any OAC sciences because the teachers at my school were retarded. So, I ended up applying for humanities and social sciences at U of T and was accepted. Now I want to do sciences. How can one switch from humanities to life sciences after one’s first year? (because i don’t expect to be able to change anything in my first year) I did take calculus and all of that delicious math in highschool-but no sciences.
    I don’t know what to do-I was planning to take BIO150 in my first year anyway (and consult the zoology undergrad department, as they said….although I emailed them weeks ago and got no reply-do i actually have to go see them!? i don’t get it) but how do i switch? and what would my second year end up being like? oh bother I am confused
    (BTW I GOT INTO INNIS RES WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!)

    i don’t wanna take first year courses…

    April 23, 2002

    hi! i was just accepted and have already know that i want a pol sci specialist from uoft. so, caz i’m not really that interested in that many 1st year courses, i was wondering if i can take pol sci 200 1st year. there’s no prerequ. and a prof that i talked to during that open house in march break said that it’s o.k. and i can do it. of coures, i will ask my counciller or whatever, but i was just wondering if students taking 2nd year courses in 1st year was common. thanks!

    eco100 vs eco105, like the rock and hulk hogan going head to head…

    March 26, 2002

    I’m failing Calculus. Should I take ECO100y? I heard it’s heavy on the math. Would I be better off in ECO105?


    well, eco100 is tough on math. i know people who have failed. however, if you are in calculus right now, and enrolled in the course/program for a good reason, you might got on just fine. eco105 is not for people who are declaring economics as their program of study. most people take it for distribution requirements, or for international relations. this leads me to beieve that it is not math-heavy, because that seems to be the area most eco100 students have problems with. if you want to make your program of study economics, take eco100 and get extra help with the hard parts. if not, yeah, go for eco105, especially if you are sick of math. here’s the website, as well as the anti-calendar to choose your prof wisely.

    cheers,

    the rantings of an unsatisfied student (or how the anti-calendar lied)

    March 19, 2002

    The anti-calender has LIED!
    I have a math course with a professor that is absolutely the worst! The average is somewhere in the 40’s, half of the work is so impossible to do that my tutor couldn’t even help me! And half of it is so easy that it does not prepare you for tests or realistic questions and you fail! The prof is an ass about it, will not bell marks like most other impossible professors, and NOBODY I have spoken with thinks much of him-in fact everybody HATES him! BUT, the all-so-wonderful anti-calender has just praised this professor in this particular course with compliments that made me sick and glory that made me scream like a donkey. It made him out to be a wonderful professor that students just loved. What the hell! Has it been tainted with theevilness of a higher evil power?? I am scared to use it to choose my next classes now! LIES LIES LIES!

    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!

    can you write your way out of a knuckle sandwich?

    November 29, 2001

    I’m in my first year & taking humanities/social sciences (no decisions re:majors tho)..and I’m really interested in taking some creative writing courses..but u of t seems to have an extreme defecit of them! I am not really interested in majoring in English, but I’d still love to do some creative work…is it possible to take courses at other universities (say, like..YORK..i know, the enemy) and earn credits towards a u of t degree?
