man, those both sound cool

Hello! Please I am confused as to which Seminar to take. I’m stuck between Culture and Conflict in Early Toronto and Anthropology of Brands. Do you by any chance have an idea of anyone of them?

———————————————

hey there,

i don’t have any experience with either class, but there are a few factors you can use to judge both?before actually attending either one. neither class will meet all the criteria (what is this, candyland?), so just go for the one that meets the most.

both of those courses are offered at different times. one of them is going to fit better in your schedule (and as much as you may want to take EVERY CLASS, there’s only so much you can do).

second, there are ways (which remain unmentionable on this site) to measure profs up against each other on the internet. might be a good idea to do them.

if either course is a prereq for another course you’d like to take, or for a breadth requirement, that’ll be a third factor to consider. also, if you have an idea of what subject POSt(s) you’re interested in, think about how what you might gain from either class could supplement/complement those POSts.

finally, ROSI often makes the choice for you, because one of those classes may fill up before you can even get to it – trust me, it can happen. and it’ll be the only thing anyone will hear uoft students whine about for the next two months, so prepare yourself for the possibility.

if all else fails, you could just enrol in both (provided ROSI is smiling down on you that day) and attend the first lecture of each class in order to make a decision.

best of luck in the enrolment arena,
