Hi there. Kudos to you for the great site. I want to take POL208Y1 but I neither have the “one full POL course” or “4.0 credits in the Faculty of A&S” as the pre-requisite(s. My only savior here seems to be “permission of the instructor”. Please guide me as to how do I go through getting that permission, and the contents of the e-mail/letter (if I need to write one). Thanks.
oh permission of the instructor …a tricky thing indeed. your first step would be to contact the political science department for information on who teaches the course. once you have a name, in section LO101 it’s L. Gilady, you can contact the professor and try to charm your way into the class.
the political science department can be reached here:
University of Toronto
Sidney Smith Hall, Room 3018
100 St. George Street
Toronto, Ontario M5S 3G3
Canada
Tel: (416) 978-3343
Fax: (416) 978-5566
and L.Gilady (fun fact – their first name is lilach!) can be reached by emailing lilach.gilady@utoronto.ca
best o’ luck.
cheers, askastudent
