it was offered last year in the 2007 calendar,      and you?ll only be focusing on the one course.<span>  <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\">do the      reprise program &#8211; but you?re only eligible if you?re actually failing      right now?<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\">do it      next year<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You could do the course in your second year, but that would mean that you wouldn?t be able to do any of the Economic courses until your third year ? and then they?d all be concentrated and I don?t think you?d want that, especially if you?re freaking out about the math component so early on in your University career.<span>  <\/span>But, if you only complete 4.0 courses this year, then you may not be able to pass go or collect $2 (I play Monopoly Jr., thank you very much) ? hence, losing your place in the program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If you decide to do the reprise program, don?t drop out of your Y course right now ? wait until you?re actually in the program so that you don?t get thrown into a metaphorical <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wood_chipper\" target=\"_blank\">wood chipper<\/a>.<span>  <\/span>I don?t see anything wrong with taking the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.math.toronto.edu\/courses\/reprise.html\" target=\"_blank\">Reprise Program<\/a> either, if you?re worried about a ?stigma?.<span>  <\/span>I?d worry about not addressing your issue and then being the lame drop out kid later on.<span>  <\/span>I know a few of those? oh those guys.<span>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">On a final note, I heavily suggest that you should speak with your registrar.<span>  <\/span>You could also go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/rotmancommerce.utoronto.ca\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">Commerce Office<\/a>, but I would assume that they might just tell you the same thing.<span>  <\/span>I don?t actually know your academic standing and can?t access your grades on CCNet and can?t actually gauge whether or not you?re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I9COI_ya8cQ\" target=\"_blank\">in too deep<\/a>.<span>  <\/span>And really, the only one who should ever be in too deep is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avrillavigne.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Avril Lavigne<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>i&#8217;m a first year commerce student and i&#8217;m doing horrible in calc right now.. its the night before test 2 and i&#8217;m freaking out cuz i don&#8217;t know anything.. i was wondering if its possible to drop calc and take it again in 2nd year.. otherwise my only other option is the reprise program &#8211; any thoughts regarding that?
