Anyone here in the ACC703 class tonight?

I just registered in this class, got the 101st spot lol

Did I miss anything important? how was the class like?

[kear7856]

I tried taking 709, its pretty hard and really abstract/difficult just before the midterm. I probably would have finished with a B-/B if I stayed in the course.

I hear 606 is easier, depending on the prof.

I'm gonna take 606 then they're both at the same time but I can only settle for one i'll just do 709 in the summer

[TechRock]

what book do they require you to have for real estate?

anyone know which textbook is used for FIN512?
PS: anyone selling rmg200 3rd edition?

Does anyone know anything about Scott Anderson and Keith MacInnes for FIN401?

[geokilla]

Does anyone know anything about Scott Anderson and Keith MacInnes for FIN401?

From what I've read and on RMP, Scott Anderson is a great professor. I don't see Keith MacInnes teaching the course though.. I have it with Emre Konokoglu and waiting for my class which is Friday mornings.

Anyone know what is open at Maple Leafs Garden since people said it's open now?

[neverless]

Does anyone know anything about Scott Anderson and Keith MacInnes for FIN401?

My friend just had him for FIN300 on Tuesday. I have him for FIN401 on Wednesday. From what he told me ... he talks like hes drunk (lol???) but really funny in a way. He told me at first he had a boring monotone voice but as he got further into the lecture his personality suddenly changed into a funny one. He told me to get ready to "be surprised" (in a positive way)

And from other people ... mainly hes a better choice than most of the other profs you have.

And nothing about Keith unfortunately.

[jgaspar89]

Does anyone know anything about Scott Anderson and Keith MacInnes for FIN401?

Heard good things about Anderson. I'm taking it Monday nights with MacInnes (hes really boring)... It was originally Anderson but it got changed for some reason. MacInnes has good ratings on RMP so I'm just gunna stick with him.

[~SauFung]

I'm 99% sure that the only way is to drop and have the other person pick it up right away (with the slight risk that someone else might luck out and get it before you) unless someone knows of some other way....
Yeah that's the only way to go. Tip is to have both people open two tabs (Drop and swap functions). Have 1 person drop class A. Upon confirmation message, the other person quickly swaps class B for A and hopefully should get in. Got my spot I wanted.:)

[donatepresent]

I just registered in this class, got the 101st spot lol

Did I miss anything important? how was the class like?

Went through course outline, skimmed chapter 1 learning objectives, chapter 2 slides, 2 problems from chapter 2, 1 of them is similar to problem 2 and 1 example is pretty good demonstration from changing from FVTPL to Equity Method.

Sometimes I do not understand what she says lol and I sit 3rd row.

B> FIN502 (personal finance) textbook ... talked to 16 people and they've all sold it >.>" PM me if you have !

Question for all you accounting majors or people who know what they're talking about: Is there a reason to get the accounting major if you don't make it to one of the three designations/big 4 companies?

[donatepresent]

Question for all you accounting majors or people who know what they're talking about: Is there a reason to get the accounting major if you don't make it to one of the three designations/big 4 companies?

If your an accounting major, you should be aiming for one of the three designations. Having a designation shows you that you have the skills, knowledge, and proficiency of a competent accountant. It allows you to practice public accounting services. Without a designation you will probably end up with a low end job such as a bookkeeper, accountant assistant, or even working at McDonalds.:razz:

[blzn]

I really liked Keith McI. for 401, I would stick with it.


742 with Sukhdeo has already been filled in the last hour once it suddenly opened up to everyone else.. nothing against Farrar just don't like 'surprise' quizzes.

[-Skyline-]

How come profs aren't putting their courses up on blackboard yet.

Anyone willing to drop FIN 621 Thursday nights plz pm me. Thanks.

[Abe132]

Just enrolled in ACC803 on Monday night.. Can anyone fill me in on key points from the first class? Thanks

[awaisuk]

I got like a few courses in blackboard and been checking regularly but none of them opening up :( :(

[jattunit]

Anyone that took QMS422 before selling their book (with SPSS and midterm) ?

[Mango2209]

For people who have taken it, just how hard is acc703?

[infected]

Currently I'm enrolled in 2 regular courses and 2 chang courses. Not sure if I would be considered a full time or part time student due to the 2 chang courses. Does anybody know?

[dawkinz]

Currently I'm enrolled in 2 regular courses and 2 chang courses. Not sure if I would be considered a full time or part time student due to the 2 chang courses. Does anybody know?

I'm sure you're still considered a full-time regardless of how many Chang courses you take.
I don't think you're part-time until you actually decide, and tell Ryerson, that you want to be one. I know a friend that's taking all Chang courses and he's full-time.

Has anyone heard of Sirajum Sarwar for FIN 401. I can't find any information about him anywhere (including RMP) so I'm assuming he's new or something?

Nothing else is open, other than Emre Konukoglu and Yi Feng, both which have been open for the past few weeks which is honestly not a good sign for me. These 3 are my only options for FIN 401.

Any advice, anyone?

[Merc with a Mouth]

Does anyone know anything about Scott Anderson and Keith MacInnes for FIN401?

Take Anderson. MacInnes may also be good but I have never had him as a prof. Anderson does not use PP slides at all and writes everything on the white board (I mean everything). Lots of note taking but I prefer his way of teaching the material as the midterm is heavily based of off his notes. Does a pretty good job of explaining what he is doing and always seems to have a good attitude/in a good mood.



Currently I'm enrolled in 2 regular courses and 2 chang courses. Not sure if I would be considered a full time or part time student due to the 2 chang courses. Does anybody know?

You're still full-time as Chang classes are looked at as equivalent to day classes. Also Ryerson does not determine if you're FT/PT based on your course load like some other universities. You have to apply to be a FT/PT student.

[Abe132]

Is it true that I need to get a C+ at ryerson courses at minimum to get a transfer credit in the CGA program ? if its true than I need to repeat 514 and 504 :/

Also can someone confirm that LAW603 AND ITM 595 are needed for CGA / CA ?

Were you able to get an answer to your first question?

I was looking over the CGA requirements at http://www.cga-ontario.org/Ryerson.aspx and it is unclear whether you need C+ for ALL the listed courses or just the two CGA ontario courses (ACC 821 and ACC 842). Any confirmation would be great.


I am pretty sure that LAW 603 and ITM 595 are required for CA, and according to that list above just ITM 595 for CGA.

xxklipse asked about Sirajum Sarwar earlier as well. He's most likely a new professor. Google didn't have anything on him as well.

I got Emre Konukoglu for Friday, and honestly I don't think I'll be too happy... FIN 300 says he gave out 7 questions for midterm and it was worth 30%. I'm betting it was multiple choice as well because I did hear a similar story back when I was taking FIN 300 in the Fall, just not sure which prof they were talking about :facepalm:

Hey guys I have applied to ryerson for civil engineering, computer science, and business technology management. I am not sure which one is a good program. I really don't want to study something and end up not getting a decent job. Any ideas on which of these program is better. My first choice is engineering but the construction business is not so great these days.

Anyone know if I will get a full refund if I swap chang school courses instead of dropping?

[dawkinz]

Hey any tips, textbook/coarse breakout for
POL 128, Joseph Zboralski
ECN 511, with Mikhail Gurvits
FIN 502, with Stephen Joyce

I took POL 128 With Zboralski last school year. He's an alright prof. I heard that POL 128 was a really easy course, that's why I took it, but I learned the hard way that taking it with Zboralski makes it not as easy compared to the other profs that teach it. Not saying he's bad, don't get me wrong. He talks a lot and rambles on about a lot of facts from what I remember. It kind of gets difficult to filter out what's important from what's not important when he's lecturing because he has a lot to say. Always listen for when he repeats certain info, that means he wants you to note it.

You'll have to get this textbook, if you didn't know already, from some print store named Alicos. It just has a bunch of articles that you'll have to read. I still have mine, but I'm sure he updates it every semester with more recent information. Cost me $50.09 + tax.

Umm, as for tips. Make sure that you get the book ASAP and make sure you keep up with your readings as there's a lot of articles to read and you don't wanna get left behind. Reading the articles will give you a big advantage. There's a lottt of movies to watch in that course, so you'll have days where he's just talking and a lot of relaxing lecture days with movies (but don't take advantage of that. Actually watch the movies!)

I didn't do well in the course due to laziness but I did pass the course doing minimal reading from the book. So read, make good notes when he lectures and take notes on the movies (rewatch them if you need to, it'll help a lot).

There's also a paper you have to write on a set of movies of your choice that's worth a good amount of your grade (you pick the theme of the paper from a bunch of choices he gives). He expects good essays so he does mark kind of of heavily on that. On my essay he really pointed out clarity. Make sure that all of your thoughts in the essay are clear and straight to the point or he'll just end up scribbling "Poorly expressed" or "what does that mean?" on the paper. Make sure it's not too long because he also criticized me for that in the comments. Other than that I believe the mid-term and the final were similar to each other and pretty fair
For the most part it's not a bad course, although I heard it's much easier with other profs (I can't name any specifically though).

[lebron23]

so for acc521 with ken caplan.....any suggestions on how to study for midterm and final?
he wants us to read textbook and CAS too and its long as hell....

[Bobogirl]

With the used book store, can i sell any text book there? I have an old acc100 textbook i used two years ago im not sure if their still using the same one or not.

Honestly, the text is sufficient. Listen in class for hints on topics he want you to study. He gets a little picky on marking. But if you do understand the key important concepts (based on his hints), do the Review Questions and a bit of the assigned problems (Aren't overly useful except for a select few) you should do fine. Final was a bit random on the short answer case, however, he curves everyone by + extra marks. BTW, study LO 6-8 on Ch 3 for midterm even though they weren't mentioned for the early weeks as per outline as he did discuss them. He does test a bit on audit report types and when to use them in the MC.

thanks alot. so for the CAS he assigns in course outline to read..is it necessary to read them all?
Is audit report types talked about in the textbook or CAS?

[~SauFung]

The CAS are all condensed in the textbook, hence me saying no need tbh. Audit report types are also discussed in the text (Based on the LO I mentioned). He did emphasize the textbook for the specific processes (later chapters). The text does ramble on and on quite often so the strategy is to be selective in learning the dense material.

Anyone have any tips/advice/info about any of these profs?

QMS 102 - Irwin Pressman

Wow our page numbers are growing at an extremely fast pace haha. If anyone remembers (or cares) I've submitted my ILC form and will take advanced functions this semester online, along with the 6 courses from university.. this is gonna be fun.

[xxklipse]

So I heard Jane Monro was leaving ... that's why she's not teaching any LAW122 sections? My friend has another friend in one of the newer prof's class, Suzanne Porters... said that she was pretty good too.

With the used book store, can i sell any text book there? I have an old acc100 textbook i used two years ago im not sure if their still using the same one or not.
The used book room in the student union bldg? I think you can put any book you want there (I've seen ooooold books there) because it's based on consignment; if the book doesn't get sold you get the book back, if it does get sold you get the price less a cut.

If you mean that desk in the Ryerson bookstore, they only accept current editions and even then they give you pennies on the dollar (not an exaggeration). I had a near-mint condition book that was a current edition and retailing for ~$100 and they said seven dollars was the maximum they could give me.





its funny to see people still charging insane prices in the used book room. as usual, every book I was looking for and found there was MORE than the brand new price.

Thanks.

I had pressman for 202 and from what I remember he was a great guy. He wants everyone to do well. He tends to confuse students as he Tries to explain the theory and reasoning and some students just want to know how to do the questions (without understanding it). For 202 I studied about 4-5 hrs for the midterm and final. Quizzes I spent about 2 hrs on. Did no hwk but I paid attention to class and read his notes and got an a+.

Read his notes and make sure u understand what he's lecturing about. Practice assigned questions and you'll kill it




Anyone who's taken fin810 with sergiy... What can I expect on the quizzes? Got one tomorrow lol

Anyone know if we can use an older edition of the tax book (ACC 522)? If there is slight differences, I can photocopy certain pages from my friend.

Hello,

I'm looking to buy the ACC621 textbook. Let me know if you have it!

[dietsprite]

Were you able to get an answer to your first question?

I was looking over the CGA requirements at http://www.cga-ontario.org/Ryerson.aspx and it is unclear whether you need C+ for ALL the listed courses or just the two CGA ontario courses (ACC 821 and ACC 842). Any confirmation would be great.


I am pretty sure that LAW 603 and ITM 595 are required for CA, and according to that list above just ITM 595 for CGA.

Yes I was looking at this chart before but then I saw this http://www.cga-ontario.org/assets/file/policy_ryerson.pdf

and it says at the bottom of the document grade of C+ need to be obtained in each of the equivalent courses in order to obtain a transfer credit

Can anyone clarify this regarding the CGA ?

I am also in that class and I finished 401 last winter. Li did mention those who take 401/501 together will need to work pretty hard esp with Options and Futures being covered in his class before other 401 classes and perhaps Blinder's class. He even recommended reading the chapters 24/25 for 401 text as help. During my time in FIN401, I would say both are some of the more difficult topics. I can't really comment on 502 during the day as I took it condensed online but there's a group project as well. IMO, they can be doable by being prepared to do a lot of work.




Li himself seems like a decent guy, not too heavy on the accent (Perhaps I sat near the back?). Gekas seems alright today, but next few weeks may show a different reaction haha. Kinda hard to hear when you sit in 3rd last row. >_> Deklerk himself seems quite energetic and stresses on getting the big picture, not mindless memorization. 621 class size is INSANE to say the least.:razz: LOL @ profs hating on the texts (ACC521, ACC621, FIN501).

Hmm ... I'm looking at the RAC info guide and it says $38.94 per semester (for Ryerson students) for a membership.

Do I need to buy this membership to use all the services in the RAC? (well... particularly only the swimming pool, cardio room and fitness centre)

Or am I allowed to enter any of them without the payment?

Also, can anyone rate how well the equipment is managed as well : D

Yes, you need to buy a membership to enter the gym. I think the only way to get in free is to join a class, ie. kickboxing,but you would only be allowed in during/before the class time.

Equipment is quite old, but for the price nobody is really complaining, and I would expect new equipment to be at the one at Maple Leafs Garden, whenever that opens. You have ten days to cancel your membership, so if you ain't satisfied, cancel it.

Any suggestions on how to succeed in ACC 706 and ITM 595?

[kear7856]

quick question I know jan 20 is the last day for enrolling for regular courses during the day but whats the last day for chang school courses I still deciding what to do

[geokilla]

When you graduate, does it say the major on your diploma? Or does it just say the program you're in?

[smphoto]

Any suggestions on how to succeed in ACC 706 and ITM 595?

ITM 595 is not too hard. If you know any database theory, you will be ok. The second half of the course is all theory though, so it's hard to know what the questions on the final will be.

ACC 706 is difficult since there is a lot of material. The questions on the tests were hard since they required extreme detail to answer them correctly. However, if you try to target your studying for the detail, you will not be able to retain all the information.
The professor is not a very good lecturer, she skips over her slides and won't share them with the class.
She does share the chapter summaries however.

Take any opportunity for free extra marks.

Good luck.

Yes, you need to buy a membership to enter the gym. I think the only way to get in free is to join a class, ie. kickboxing,but you would only be allowed in during/before the class time.

Equipment is quite old, but for the price nobody is really complaining, and I would expect new equipment to be at the one at Maple Leafs Garden, whenever that opens. You have ten days to cancel your membership, so if you ain't satisfied, cancel it.

Just to add on. I find it quite annoying that there are only 2? 3? sets of 20s, 25s, 30s, etc. There's a TON of 15s and 17.5s.. I get really mad when somebody takes all of them to do their sets even though I understand the concept behind it.. My high school had a bigger workout area + a ton more weights.

Go to Maple Leaf Gardens? I know it's open there, but dunno what's there and stuff. Plus it's so far....

You can also get in by using someone else's card. Just don't get caught. I've also seen people just wait till someone opens the door for them.

That's true, plus spending a long time to even find them as they are all of the place, the best time to go is in the mornings before the lunch period/rush.

I wish. I only go during my breaks so I can kill some time (they're only 1 hr anyways). Commuting even EARLIER (and it takes me an hr) and going to the gym before class isn't something I want to do.. Also, wait a little; last semester midway through the year the gym wasn't as packed. I think they have some 1st week free thing going on.

I don't mind walking or even subwaying one stop but isn't it going to be open later? I know the Loblaws is open but I don't think the arena is built yet is it? Is the gym open too? I already have a membership (if you're talking about the RAC) and actually get asked to swipe my card when I go through the door if it's open already. Quick question: If I lend my RyeCard (with paid membership to the RAC) to someone and they swipe to go to the facility, does a picture pop up on the computer at the desk?

The gym at MLG has opened? I can't find anything mentioning the gym being open....

So if both the RAC and the MLG gyms are open, I'm guessing neither one is ridiculously overcrowded?

[vincent79]

so I've never been to the RAC, how exactly is it? specifically their cardio machines? bike and treadmill and

also how crowded can it get? like signing up for machines? 30 min max? etc.

I honestly didnt see the cardio section to be full, there is always like 5 free bikes and 2 free treadmills unused. The weightlifting room is always full though, you have to wait for a bench or machine.

The cardio is actually pretty good, there's four treadmills, a few esclipators, tons of bikes and spinning bikes, plus 5-6 rowing machines. It gets busy around lunch time and you sign up for 30 min. Intervals.

Perfectly doable, 504 won't take more than a solid two hours/week to finish the cases.
Only downside is that you may not know enough depth of accounting concepts and theory needed to get perfect marks for the case

*Raises eyebrows* Those who took 504 last term (Re: me) will tell you Whelan > Shapiro, no contest. What TheBateman said it's true. But if you take them separately, you get a greater edge by knowing the intermediate financial accounting theory in full. You will likely have 3 ACC courses with that in one semester during third year, assuming you don't take summer school. Just saying.

Look, (not you fung) .. if you are enrolled in 514 right now, and you are in Keith's 504, you are a moron to drop it. You will do better in Keith's class than Shapiros REGARDLESS of accounting knowledge as Shapiro's marking is like he threw the papers into the air and marked them on the way down.

Have Keith, keep Keith. If you drop it, only to get stuck with Shapiro later on, you are a moron.

4 tests worth 25% each, no final. Approximately 2 chapters per test on average, with the 4th one testing us on the last three chapters. From what I seen, it's mainly short answer with MC. Key is to do the homework and any extras he assigns according to my friends who finished this course.

I had the worst experience with her for both QMS courses. Part of it is my fault for using my own , but I hate how she just keeps on telling us to use the calculator.

Imo, cant go wrong with Jason. Not retaking out now, but I will in the spring/summer.

And on the Clare Chua topic, I also didn't like her teaching style AT TIMES, but after experiencing other profs, she was actually really good. I agree with her problem of always moving back and forth between her slides like a madwoman, confusing the hell out of me at times. But she is actually a really good prof. I didn't get a good mark in that course but I did little, to no, practice at home, did none of the eHomework assignments and made my cribsheets the night before. I still passed though. Just do the work and you'll do great

As a person, he's really nice. But he's just one of those prof's who can't actually convey the information properly. My friend had him for fin 300 and agreed - she never went to his classes and instead went to the other professor teaching 300 at the time. He makes you come to every class to "fill in the blanks" in his powerpoint slides, the full slides aren't posted on blackboard... it's really counter productive. His Ukranian accent also makes it hard to understand his clarifications... and he decides to throw in the odd Russian word and not even notice lmao. The scary thing is that out of the three profs that teach fin 621 I think he would be considered the best... SMH. I'm in his Thursday class now and it's so brutal me and my friends are alternating going every week and sending each other the completed slides ahah.

I dont think Jason was around when I was in first year.. maybe i'm wrong! Yeah, it's really true though, Clare's style of teaching is an acquired taste... those who can follow her get good - those who need to be taught in different ways probably wouldn't do well in her classes.

First year courses are really easy if you take them online.. I took at least 6 courses online first year and got As and Bs haha.

But when I spoke to two other professors about this they said that's not right but suggested I do it Keith's way. I just want to confirm from anyone that had Keith before that had the same thing. And if you did, then when doing the lyryx labs and midterm, you would get the right answer doing it his way...?

Standards are definitely rising. Schools such as UT and Laurier still accept students with 70% averages into their business programs, although definitely not as much as us. Expect to see the ratio of 70-79% entrance averages to be lower over the coming years, not that it'll mean anything to us current students.

Would I speak to Hillmer? Would I speak to the Prof? Or do I speak to a general Ryerson department like Enrollment Services?

The fact that they're AACSB accredited doesn't mean they're being more selective in my opinion, the average shows how selective you are. Why have your average at 60% (for example) and let the high school dropouts apply? Schulich, Queens, Ivey, etc have an 87+ avg for a reason, it's to weed out the men from the boys and have only the best of the best in their programs, AACSB accredited or not. If the entrance average by a university is high in the first place, people who have lower averages won't bother applying at all, knowing there's no chance to get in.

There's a link on how to access CAS as per course outline. Go to My library -> Articles and Indexes -> Accounting -> CICA Handbook. BTW, text is mostly sufficient for this course even though it isn't an easy read.

This didnt lead me to CAS... He has other directions in the outline which also does not lead me to CAS... Maybe you can better direct me, hahah. Here are his directions.

CICA Standards and Guidance Collection, Assurance Handbook Part I, Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, most recent edition.

• Internet Resource available through Ryerson Library [www.library.ryerson.ca ]

To access - Select ‘Catalogue’ - Search for Title: “CICA Handbook” - Use link to “Connect to this Resource Online”.
The CAS & OCS are under ‘Assurance - Assurance Handbook - Part I - 2011 Edition’

On a side note... Did you have Kaplan? Cause he seems to stress the CAS more than the book. And on top of that, everyone on RMP says not to get the book. Any insight? Was he your prof?

[Sickofacc]

Prof + your program department + possibly the teaching department (accounting).

My program is accounting... I am not too sure who this teaching department is. Either way I think I'm gonna go to Hillmer. Is this my best bet?

CAS are all contained in the Handbook. You just have to search for the one you want to read E.g. CAS 200. I did have him last term. Text is honestly enough for this course and it condenses many of the CAS material. My advice is to start on the group project asap (committed members is key) and listen to hints on certain topics he wants you to study for midterm and final. He holds a review session like a week before.

It'll work for like 9 months or a year after u grad or something. After that you'd have to get an alumni account to have an email affiliated with Ryerson. Or you can ask for special permission for continued use I think, not 100% sure on this.

Electives should be the A's on your transcript.. I dont think i've ever gotten worse than a B in an elective.. do your research on which ones are easy, its not hard! Also, Chinese is offered... to specific students I think. I would know because i'm in it for a Global Management professionally related. I believe starting fall 2012 they will be offering it to everyone as a liberal. So there you go :P

Well I'm in MKT 100 for this semester as well. I bought the book it anyway because I heard they can track whether you bought it or shared it according to your student number or something. I think the reason why they do this is so they're making sure every student enrolled in that course buys the book for $75 (so they don't lose money I guess) and makes us do module quizzes in order to access the next set of readings. Hope that helps a little, I'm not entirely sure but yeah, that's all I know

Anderson writes everything on the whiteboard and these notes beat PP slides. Honestly just read the textbook if you need further explanation as it's more detailed and better than slides. I find slides useful only for a brief overview and nothing more since they do not provide enough information to actually properly learn anything. With Anderson you get so many examples in your notes that you can actually go through everything step by step and use the textbook to better understand what you have written.

Hey guys this might sound sad but what would happen if I submitted a projected that was supposed to be in a group by myself.

It's up to the prof to decide whether group projects have to be done in a group or can be worked on independently. You can try emailing some people in your class to see if they need another group member or they're willing to add you to their group. I doubt the prof could fail you if you still managed a grade of 50% or more despite getting 0 on the project. However I'm sure that is not something you want to do.

He posted an announcement on Blackboard about the breakdown (20 MC and 2 problems, one from each chapter). He said no journal entries, no theory (mainly calculations) and not to worry too much on cost reconciliation. Said it's doable and quite short so doing homework is key.

Does anyone know if you can do both FIN 300 and 401 at the same time?
I was planning on dropping it now and doing it both during the summer, at the same time. Problem is that one is a "prerequisite", but what would happen if i take them both at the same time?

Also, does anyone have some FIN 300 notes/practice questions/links?

No, you cannot do both at once if you plan to drop FIN300 now since it's a prerequisite for 401. I believe there's a FIN300 support thread, search for it. There should be a past midterm/final posted on BB too.

EDIT: there is only one way around this: take FIN300 in the condensed spring term and 401 in the condensed summer term right after.

I really really need someones help! I enrolled in Caplan's auditing (acc521) class 2 weeks in... I then had to miss a class due to the worst food poisoning ive ever had... Basically I've missed 75% of this guy's classes. I know he gives out serious hints during class! Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me out here. I need to know what he has been telling everyone throughout the semester. From the one class I went to I know he emphasized like four things. I would appreciate this so much. Anything he said to study/emphasize/might be on the midterm. Honestly it would mean a lot if someone could help me out here.

[trunkstt]

dont u need it to get like 10% of ur mark?

Nope for my prof (Winegard), the textbook quizes don't count at all. There's a midterm worth 30, group assignment worth 30, and the final worth 40. If it were for marks, then I wouldn't mind paying the full.

GMS 723 - Manjuris

FIN 621 - Rakhmayil

Thanks!

For GMS723, you gotta be on the ball. Don't skip classes, read the text, take good notes, etc. The quizzes (you probably know by now) are basically everything from in-class, except for the last 1 or 2 quizzes, which are split between class and textbook.

For the export report, be as thorough as possible. For me, our team exported a commercial exhaust vent to Japan. I looked into shipping the goods into the US to get them to Japan to see if it was cheaper. I looked into trucking, boating from Montreal/Vancouver. I looked into local transport in Japan (didn't expand on it in great detail, but I mentioned it in the report). I basically included pricing for every possible route for the thing to take. We also included documents that were all filled out and ready to ship with the company.

Protip1: If you're shipping to an Asian country, Maersk charges about $3000 for rail from Toronto to Vancouver, and boat from Vancouver to Tokyo
Protip2: Contact companies early. We waited to the last minute, gave the prof a company that didn't allow us to work with them, and were scolded for missing the deadline.

The power points really wont help you that much. For Law122 because its open book, knowing the different terms and where they are in the book will be more helpful. A lot of the questions do require you to find them exactly in the book.

anybody in gekas thursday section for acc801?
if anyone had the beige version.....i know that the mc questions were mixed up for it.
so like mc question 13-20 for me was like mc question 1-8 for my freind.
and the mark i saw on bb today, im shocked how low i got......maybe gekas set up the mc marking system for 1 version of the beige and the other version of beige would get pretty much all the mc wrong? i hope this is the case..

I had ivory version where the related FIFO/WA questions were like MC 1-8 in that order. Hopefully he drops some useful feedback, return tests and explain the way assesses the MC. Whatever you see on BB is the weighted amount out of 25, fyi. E.g. 28/32 * 25 = 21.88.

Any tips for ACC703 test one with Donna ?

Am I too late?

I still have the answer key from last semester. There was 2 versions
Both tests had 1 question with the whole implied value @ 100%, allocate AD and calculate GW
Then a consolidated BS or calculate balances of items like equipment, NCI, RE, etc.
Also GW and NCI under entity method and parent company extension

2nd question on one of the versions was calculating investment balance and CNI. Don't know about the 2nd version cause I didn't understand it

I got screwed on this first test. The 2nd question on one of the versions was a lot harder.

Charred Tim Hortons hash brown prompts Ryerson evacuation


A hash brown that received more of a toasting than intended put Ryerson University students out in the cold for 10 minutes this morning.

Around 11:24 a.m., the fire alarm in Kerr Hall went off, forcing students from all wings of the building outdoors.

Bruce Piercey, the school’s group director of communications, said the charred breakfast item sparked the alarm after a trip through the toaster at the Tim Hortons location in the south east part of the building.

While no fire actually broke out, the smoke caused the alarm to go off, and despite the ridiculousness of the situation, Piercey stressed that fire alarms should always be taken seriously.

There were no injuries or other damages reported, save for, in Piercey’s words, “a dead hash brown.”

MHR 523 - Lotta boring stuff but you need to know it all. Read the textbook and you're good (just the slides won't be enough as they're very broad). No trick questions on the MC or SA but you gotta know your stuff. Again, reading the book is key.

MKT100: MC and short answer. Assuming the online text is still used, it will be based there. The Top Gun quiz questions are a decent indicator of what to expect and metrics should also be there too. Mainly application but not overly hard as long as you know how to apply concepts and read the modules.

When I had it there was no Top Gun (whatever that is...) and the online modules were worth zero marks. The metrics are easy to do but you might get a tricky long-type question as a metric question. You should know the major terms discussed in class and possible theory-type based questions they might ask. E.g. they might give you a scenario and ask you what term it is referring to.

It was 50 M/C for me ... 15 were metrics I think

Alright well I have a choice between staying at Rye or going to Guelph and pursuing my BComm there. A quick run down:

Ryerson pros: close(ish) to home, spend less money by living at home, food cooked for me, all that jazz.
cons: would rarely ever stay after class to socialize/go to events, hr of commute one way, don't like the campus, have 0 friends

Guelph pros: will attend events as I will be living walking distance from school, new place, better campus, potential co-op
cons: more expensive (meal plan, living expenses), not sure if living away from home is a pro or a con.

With Goss it really depends on the course. He is excellent when it comes to a course like FIN 401 where everything on the mid-term is directly from the textbook. He provides lots of in class examples and excellent notes. Gives the break down of the mid-term in advance and provides old exams along with telling you what to focus on. He really can't be faulted when teaching a class like that. For FIN 800 the difficulty comes from trying to take notes during his lecture. It's not possible to take down anything more than short point form notes since one can't write everything he says word for word. He then focuses the mid-term/exam on those lectures and the notes that one has taken does not provide enough information. I agree that while the IOU book is an interesting read on it's own regardless if it's required or not, the other text seems like a big waste considering how little if it is actually on the mid-term.

It would make more sense if his lectures actually aligned with the information the text provides like 99% of all other classes (including the other courses he teaches). I personally think he is a great prof in a course that has more structure like FIN 401.

Very easy course. Did absolutely nothing and ended with an A-... You get basically a free 20% for discussion boards. Two 500 word 10% essays. 30% essay (found it a little annoying). Final exam was fairly easy. You need to do a lot of memorization for it. This is where 90% of your hours towards this course will go. Unless of course you actually keep up, in which case you wont have any problems at all. I would recommend it. It's a good online course, and an easy good grade.

There will be weekly modules that you can study from for the exam. There is absolutely no need to get the book. All the questions and key terms you need to know are straight from the 13 or 14 modules.

Good luck

"All OSAP students must ensure that their Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) form is submitted prior to October 28, 2011 in order to be assessed and considered for this year's Student Access Guarantee Program." I'm not an OSAP student. My email is clean and my RAMSS has "no outstanding fees".

You have to apply for OSAP to be considered for it. So you won't be getting it.

Just got the "business career centre" email. What do you guys think?

[zing145]

The whole careers program is a fantastic program, and some of the students running it really are committed and have been planning this for a while now.

And for all those who wrote the FIN800 midterm, how'd you find it? Thought it was extremely easy...I was done in 25 minutes lol.

Anybody have the FIN512 online midterm tomorrow? Heard there's a test bank floating around the net somewhere, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could forward it to me ;)

I guess you already started.

I mean I guess it was ok, didn't like the fact that each mark was a percentage though each mistake takes a large portion out of the overall mark.

I couldn't find the answer to 2 of the short answer questions in which I had to randomly put something down so I hope I can atleast get a part mark out of it.
Finally. I think I wrote too much in some of the question when I think I shouldn't have because of that I didn't have a lot of time in the end.

I guess I live and learn.

Just got the "business career centre" email. What do you guys think?

I thought the Business Careers Program shut down last year? Did they restart it? I know that the application process was a little ridiculous given that these "opportunities" were not exclusive to the program. They were openly listed on any of the company's websites, for example, Hydro one, RIM intern, mid tier intern positions and applications for big 4 CA firms.

Also the listings were definitely flooded with applications. There is a huge mailing list to student's for these announced positions, it would probably be easier using Ryerson's career vault.

If so- what did he say about these cases. Is there any way I can get notes from you on the class. I am definitely willing to pay if that is what it takes. Please let me know. Thanks!

MLG isn't open yet. I've never been there on weekends but my guess is that would be the best day, as there are way less people on campus. The best times to go would be before ~1pm, as it gets crowded once class is done.

I rarely buy lunch - and I mean very rarely. Firstly, because it's somewhat expensive if I do it everyday, and secondly because I started to watch what I eat. If I do, I usually go to the AMC and either get a footlong, caribbean queen, or that korean place right beside it. You've probably gone to all of these though.. If you would be more specific in what you like, you might get more answers? I've also gone once to Korean BBQ. It's a 1 min walk north on Yonge. $9 for all you can eat beef, pork, and chicken but you cook it yourself on an open grill. Don't go here if you have less than a 1 hr break.

I''ve hit up caribbean queen and california thai several times, getting sick of them. I also go to ali babas sometimes, but other than that I don't really know anywhere else that's good. On thursdays when I have a 2 hour break I'll occasionally take the streetcar to Spadina to go to a really good vietnamese place. I've been to korean bbq before and I like it, but I wouldn't go there solo haha. As far as what I like, basically everything but hamburger and fries (i do like these but prefer to make my own when I do eat it) and pizza

Also I've been to VIP several times to play pool and drink murphy's, but never for the food, I'll give it a shot.

You don't have to be online during a certain time. Most courses require you to post something in the discussion for each topic once a week which you can do at anytime during the week.

So as long as you clock in at 3 hrs per week, doesn't matter when during that week, you're good? (Or can you do 0 hrs one week then 6 hrs next week, as long as you do a certain amount of hrs for that whole course?)

You don't have to clock in for any specific number of hours. It doesn't matther when you log in during the week. Some courses have a cutoff to post on the discussion topic while others don't so you may have to log in once per week to post or you may be able to get away with logging in once everyt wo weeks....depends no the prof.

It's not open to undergrad students. That's part of a bridging program for immigrants looking to transfer their credentials to Canada (e.g. A CA, or whatever the equivalent is there, from India hoping to practice in Canada). In short, there's no way to take 842 at Ryerson in the summer.

Seriously this was my favourite course I've taken so far at Ryerson. I had it with Vronski and I learned so much. I love history courses and was so happy there was one required for the GMS major hahaha. The tests from what I can remember are mostly based on the lectures, not really the text. But the text helps substantiate the lecture. Tie major themes together yatta yatta yatta. History courses you need to isolate yourself and review the notes, then you'll do fine.

Anyone remember wtf was on the 706 midterm last semester?

[raps_baller]

Is doing Cma in BC the same as Ontario? If I graduate next fall, can I do my Cma in BC the same way I would do I here or are there different requirements?

[raps_baller]

is this the same with acc742 as well for the summer?

REALLY hope not cause I already put this course
On my course intentions for spring/summer cause Im planning on graduating end of fall and need
To take this in summer so I can take 842 in fall

[Supreme]

Anyone in BTM or BM? How would you compare the two? Also anyone having or had co-op in the BTM program or in any other programs? Whats your opinion on the co-op programs Ryerson offers? I heard they don't really help you find the placement and that it's strictly up to the student. :|

Okay, I need some help from my fellow 4th Year Accounting students for my next year schedule.

I plan to take take 4 courses per semester next year to graduate.
So please advise me on how to distribute these courses to each semester so I won't be overwhelmed.
I would like Fall schedule to be slightly more difficult so I can have Winter to fall back on if I do poorly in Fall.

If you would be so kind to also breakdown the course load for each major course that would be very much appreciated.

Courses I need to take:
ACC706 - Accounting Theory
ACC803 - Advanced Management Accounting
ACC821 - Advanced Auditing
BUS800
ITM595
Upper Liberal Course

7th Semester:
ACC742

8th Semester:
ACC842

Who is that prof that I've seen (usually) at TRS? Looks like he's in his late 50s, tall and skinny, seems to have a good sense of humor. I saw him smoking with some students this morning outside TRS. Graying hair and has gray stubble. He seems like a good prof but I've never had him, what does he teach?
Tall, white dude, red jacket, always has a thing of coffee/tea? I ran into him on the elevator and accidentally called him a TA, then found out he teaches entrepreneurship

Some input would be nice although I expect some more replies around course intention week.:razz:

Likewise, I want to see how to allocate my similar load. BUS800 is heavily prof oriented and a ton of work from what I've been told and ACC803 is apparently purely theory.
Rough schedule:
7th semester: ACC742, BUS800, ACC803, CFIN512 (online or in-class)
8th semester: ACC842, PSY706, ACC821 (with Deklerk)
Planning to extend my graduation so I will take ACC703 in the following fall term.
F2013: ACC703, ECN506, another FIN course as a PR

[nx6288]

Tall, white dude, red jacket, always has a thing of coffee/tea? I ran into him on the elevator and accidentally called him a TA, then found out he teaches entrepreneurship

I forgot his name exactly but he also teaches BUS800 and is considered one of the better profs for that class...his name was something like melanson?

^ Unfortunately, there are no sample outlines for the ACC courses on that link.

How does acc 521 compare to acc 621? is it a lot more work? im planning on taking it in the spring along with Fin512&612 (online- spring&summer). Would this be taking on too much?
ACC521 has a group project, midterm and final. I took it in the regular 3 month term but under the condensed term, you should be focused especially on the project. If you finish 621 right before, the overlap helps but the way the current textbook is written is harder to digest. If the online courses are 3 month term, it may be doable although I heard 612 in general is fairly heavy.

Last semester, Vena did return our midterms.

Anyone taking FIN502 inclass and have the powerpoints?

[Dyingxtoxlivexagain]

took 7 this past summer. it's not too bad.

i believe most liberals are offered in condensed format, so if ur taking a few liberals id take one or two per session. for any courses u think will be difficult take them over the entire summer, and if u commute consider taking a few online (like the liberals)

Thanks for your input, I'll stick with taking 5 in total then (2 spring 1 summer and 2 entire summer), should be fine if you think 7 is ok :)
(1 of the ones for the entire summer is online)

acc842 > acc706 > acc742 > acc821 >= itm595 > bus800 > liberal

im taking 842/706/821/800 right now so my opinion might change by the end of the semester

I was thinking of taking FIN 300 in the condensed spring term. Is the format usually the same as the regular term? M/C on mid-term, Final, Lyryx etc.

i might take it online but that along with work and my other course, i still want to have a summer

[daexterminator]

I had that last semester. Going to the lectures was pretty pointless I got to say and I just studied the textbook for the exam (it was all MC). Lab sessions were basically teaching you how to use Microsoft Excel and Access, extremely easy and boosted my mark. I don't see a problem taking this online and it most likely won't affect your summer plans.
I have a new textbook for it with myITlab (for the labs) still in wraps if you're interested in buying it

anyone take mus505 ??

I remember someone ask about regarding how would your degree certificate would look like.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iVXJp_jvc7U/TrSGjPzg5fI/AAAAAAAAAcI/DbNRm4q31QQ/s1600/Ryerson+MBA+Degree+Image.jpg

Where it would say Master of Business Administration

Insert Bachelor of (Commerce/Science/etc)
Then Underneath it just says Your major like (ie Accounting, Computer Science etc)

If your in something like Journalism, it would probably just be Bachelor of Journalism.

I would post a picture of a BComm degree I have on hand but the image was blurry but this was close enough, also the custom Ted Rogers Frame, (the surrounding edges, will have gold wording saying Ryerson University Ted Rogers School of Business) is around $300+

I left some stuff beside the library today and when I came out it was gone. I was told by the librarian to visit 111 Bond Street, apparently that's where the security guards' office is. My stuff was there, I confirmed it was mine and got it back. The security guard wrote down my name, a contact number, something else, and I left. I'm just being paranoid.. but does this go on a "record"? And do I have to pay a charge for what he did?

paranoid for what? what record? as long as it was YOUR stuff you shoudln't worry. he took name and number incase you lied or another person comes forward claiming for that stuff. then he has your contacts.

Of course the guard is going to take your information because if someone comes in and claims that they lost the same items as you, they'll call you back and from there on you'd both have to fight to prove ownership.

Hey guys, I'm a 2nd year BTM student, and recently I've really been thinking about switching to BM for Accounting. I'm doing pretty well in school, but after doing some of the ITM courses last semester, I'm really confused about if I want to stay in this program. So I thought about switching to Business Management for accounting or even finance. Getting in to the program is not a problem for me, my marks are good and gpa is 3.35. The only problem is that I'm thinking if I should switch to York, because york accepts winter applicants, and I feel like if I switch I wouldn't have to waste much time. I can't switch to BM for next year, so I'll have to wait till the year after. I feel like it's gonna waste a whole year, unless I take accounting courses next year. But on the other hand, BTM is good too because there are a lot of internship opportunities, so it is probably easier to network. So to sum it all up, what should I do, should I switch to york for accounting/finance so I don't waste much time, should I stay in ryerson and switch into the BM program for the 2013-14 year, or should I stay in BTM and keep looking for internships and chances to network. Really confused guys, would really appreciate some help.

Hmm... I remember switching over from Hospitality to BM around this time last year, can't you do it as well? You might have to take one summer course or something like that to increases your chances (e.g. I took QMS102 - equivalent to your QMS204). I was however put on the wait-list since I applied very late but I had the marks (lower than yours actually; 3.27). So if you do successfully get accepted, you can start in Fall (2012). Even if you don't get accepted, I find that you could take BM related courses --> PR's ... and lower/ upper liberals during the year - no rush. I honestly haven't heard much positive feedback from York's business (not including Schulich...) so I can't say much about it.

[Zeppole]

I suggest taking ITM 102 online... I took it in my first year and it was a breeze. You have myitlab which are simulations teaching you to use word, excel, etc. Weekly online quizzes (open book obviously - which help boost your mark) ... and the final is all multiple choice and on the computer in a classroom on campus... which you can easily open a new tab and search for the answers in google while doing it. (Saw someone in front of me doing this).

It's the same if you take it in the spring/summer, but if you find yourself struggling, get extra help ASAP, otherwise you will be lost throughout the rest of the course. But apparently for the coming year they're changing the FIN300/FIN401 curriculum starting next year to make it a bit easier for students, so it could be something to consider.

Do you have any idea how their making it easier? I prefer it if they keep it at this difficulty, don't want everyone getting an easier ride on FIN401 (the supposedly highest failed course in BM?)

easier? I thought they were trying to raise the reputation of the school? It's easy enough compared to what kids from other schools learn at u of t, schulich, waterloo, ivey, queens.

[PopRozay]

if the professors taught students how to use the calculator for the harder questions then it would be much easier, as do like stats.

if you can master the calculator in finance then you can do well in 300. all about PY/CY

I'm all for learning how to use the calculator, but the formulas and everything need to be learned as well. I had John Currie for FIN 300 and did very well in the course. Taught both the formulas and how to use the calculator. I had to learn how to use my Time-83 as well. The way he teaches is how we should be taught. No need to make the course easier.

As for FIN 401.... Hating it. Not liking Scott Anderson much...

[~SauFung]

FIN300 in summer is doable at the accelerated pace as long as you stay focused.

It's the same if you take it in the spring/summer, but if you find yourself struggling, get extra help ASAP, otherwise you will be lost throughout the rest of the course. But apparently for the coming year they're changing the FIN300/FIN401 curriculum starting next year to make it a bit easier for students, so it could be something to consider.
I guess it will be something similar to ACC110/410 and ACC100/406 split to make it easier for the non-majors who struggle? (Assuming it has something to do with the future school of accounting and finance?) But I agree the way FIN300/401 is currently set up is fine with just Lyryx, midterm and final.

Yup, as long as you can master the FIN/QMs calculation FIN 300 is simple. It sucks when you have a prof like S. Anderson that teaches only the formula's nothing in using the calculator since using the calculator drops the amount of time wasted on solving questions greatly.

FIN 521 and FIN 611 are probably the toughest of that list. This is where you decide if personal finance or baller finance is more suited to you. Since you're planning on taking CACC514, I'm assuming baller finance thus you should take FIN 521, FIN 631, FIN 601 while interning at a IBD in big 5 bank ;)

Thanks for the reply. I know the 83% should be fine based on my high school grades. However, I am not too sure about the 2.54; it's an okay gpa, right. Do you know anybody that transferred to Ryerson with a gpa similar to mine or lower?

Btw, for the business management program.

Thanks for the reply. I know the 83% should be fine based on my high school grades. However, I am not too sure about the 2.54; it's an okay gpa, right. Do you know anybody that transferred to Ryerson with a gpa similar to mine or lower?

Btw, for the business management program.

It's a low gpa but it's not HORRIBLE either. You wouldn't be on probation or anything. I think you'd get in but talk to admissions first. Again, if u don't just take classes through continuing Ed and apply again.

I think you're looking at about a 70% chance of getting in. Universities love to accept students based off high school averages. Especially if its a 80%+ average from a reputable highschool. One that isn't a 1 in the high school index.

You should be fine. However, I'd put pressure on them and e-mail them regularly, ask the admissions. Make it known that you want to be apart of BM. GL!

FIN 521 and FIN 611 are probably the toughest of that list. This is where you decide if personal finance or baller finance is more suited to you. Since you're planning on taking CACC514, I'm assuming baller finance thus you should take FIN 521, FIN 631, FIN 601 while interning at a IBD in big 5 bank ;)

thanks x)

i will probably defer 514 though.. I dont want to take it twice a week and the times for once a week is so late...

FIN631, FIN521, FIN611 & FIN631 ... are any of them doable in the summer??

search em on ramss for spring/summer 2011/2010/2009 see if they were offered in previous years. or check http://ce-online.ryerson.ca/ce/calendar/default.aspx?id=5&section=search

ah I was wondering in terms of workload & difficulty.. seems like only FIN512 & FIN612 offered.. and not the rest on the list..


Most of the times also 6:30pm-9:30pm >__<


any suggestions on PR's or upper liberals to take in spring/summer?

Hey, have you guys picked up your OSAP yet?

I went to the Fin. Aid office a couple of weeks ago to pick it up, and was told to go to AMC Shoppers Drug Mart to complete the process. I went there, but couldn't find the place where they were completing hte process...

I think they may have meant the Canada Post that's inside the Shoppers Drug Mart? I know some of my u of t friends who used to get their osap done in the nearby canada post.

Anyone else in POG100? Midterm marks are up... I got the worst midterm mark I've ever gotten yet, and I thought I did good. I think I'll just drop the class so I can avoid doing this final essay for Friday.

thats the avg in most accounting classes, same with our fin810 avg this semester.

[strawberry8]

I was wondering if anyone would be able to provide some details about any of the following courses:

GEO793: Geography of Toronto
GEO802: The Geography of Recreation and Leisure
PHL710: Philosophy and Film
SOC603: Sociology of Gender
SOC902: Hollywood and Society

Thank you I greatly appreciate it.

[mr_toast]

PHL710: you watch movies, that's it. The midterm and final are, if I'm not mistaken, all discussed in class through movie analyses, ie. take better notes or have an audio recorder, do well in the tests.

Take home final I think. If at all possible, take it with Edward Cunningham. Easily the most involving Prof in my four years at Ryerson - he keeps you on your toes and when he calls you out and you make mistakes, he'll joke around instead of automatically saying you're wrong

My class for Scott was 58% average --> lowest was 20% and highest was 100%. He posted marks after 6 days.

[TimoCruz]

Hey guys,

Do you know of any easy lower level liberals with easy profs being offered in spring/summer? If its an english course its even better..

Please let me know.

And do you know when professors names will be released on RAAMS for spring/summer courses.

Im in my 4th year. This is for my gf because shes planning to direct entry from sheridan to ryerson for ece and needs to take 3 lower level liberals (one of which must be english)

[geokilla]

Hey guys,

I'm about to enter my last semester in the BTM program. I have 3 courses remaining - ITM601 (possibly one of the hardest in the program) and 2 liberals. I'm in a bit of dilemma in exactly how to approach this semester. I essentially have 3 options:

1) Take two accelerated liberals this summer and ITM601 in the fall. Although I'd likely enjoy the two liberals and finally have some free time, I would not get OSAP, obviously need to find a part-time job given two days each semester to a course.

2) Take 3 courses across the two semesters. The only two liberals I've found that are regular UL liberals are history (HST540, HST504 or 503)- since I dont speak Spanish or have much interest in POL,PHL or PSY. I would get OSAP, but might be overwhelmed. I've never taken an online history course either, and I'm not sure what to expect.

3) Take two accelerated liberals this summer (that interest me - i.e mus505, world war 1 hst etc) and take ITM601 throughout the entire summer but still not get osap.

I'm leaning towards #2 but I'm really concerned about the online workload and the course breakdown. Does anybody have any experience with online history? Also, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks guys,
J

p.s. what's the deal with **** courses offered?

Why can't you get osap with option 3?

[geokilla]

It's there. He's probably taking his sweet time to troll us. I'm in Wednesday's section from 3 to 6.

[jmw229]

Hey thanks for the reply. The lady at OSAP said they have to be all at once - i.e. 3 per spring, 3 per summer or 3 regular. :( It pisses me off :S

By the way, have you taken any history courses (online or in-person)?

The woman said I owe them everything I got this semester, including grants. She's a chubby Asian. If you don't want to go on OSAP probation, she says you need to take 3 or more courses.

No history courses.

Why don't you just get to the marks section via the my.ryerson homepage? 'View Interm Marks for Online Courses' is under the Tools box on the top left. It will bring you to a list of courses you have that have blackboard shells, go to your FIN401 one.

not really lol I tought I would do much better got 60% :/ kinda meh i'll have to work hard to get that c+

Wow thanks! I didn't know we can do that.

Looks like I got two wrong...happens that I guessed on two questions because I couldn't get any of the answers they presented. If the answer for the both of them were "none of the above" I'd be pretty pissed. lol

I went in. I'll ask again though. :D

Ya ask again to make sure I guess. Let us know what they say.

I went in twice and twice I spoke with the same Asian lady. Confirming to me that if I drop to two courses, I go on OSAP probation owing them everything right now, including all my grants. And if it happens again, I'd be ineligible for OSAP for one year. Not sure what the summer requirements are though. Should ask today...

I never call. I just go in.

I went in today and asked the black lady. She confirmed it. Need 3 straight through. Only exception is if you have a disability, you can take two courses and get osap. The other option, which I will be applying for, is part-time osap. But, unfortunately, it doesn't go with your full-time loan and from what I understood is that you would still have 6 months before you start paying your full-time loan back. Depending on how much, you could always toss some of that towards that payment and just live dirt poor for a while haha. There is various things like extensions or repayment assistance though. I'm leaning towards just doing the part-time osap and having a more relaxing last semester! Trying to get my brother to lend me some money lol

3 straight through as in 3 in spring semester and 3 in summer semester? So total of 6 courses?!

[scott91]

3 straight through as in 3 in spring semester and 3 in summer semester? So total of 6 courses?!


This is last year's page, so I guess you need at least 3 courses in one or the other. Don't know how the continuous spring and summer sessions work, lol they don't even have that as an option on the extension form. Btw the people at the student aid office are apart of OSAP, they are the ones that decide how much funding, overpayment etc.

reading week for fall 2012, week of oct 8. seems early enough to be useful for midterms?

[ptsk8]

Coarse intentions coming up :)

Any suggestion on a good Upper Liberal, without a final exam, aside from soc808
did some searching and all people said were the easy one, without much detail

[geokilla]

Yes :(

[omchow]

reading week for fall 2012, week of oct 8. seems early enough to be useful for midterms?

Its positioned one week earlier than winter reading week (its positioned before week 6 and winter reading week is usually positioned before week 7). Week 7 is the typical exam week if a class has one midterm.

I guess its positioned during the week of Oct 8 to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday on Monday so people that have Monday classes won't be miss their Monday class two weeks in a row. Similar to how winter reading week falls on the same week of Family Day.

On a side note, Engineering students are going to be pissed they still have classes during fall reading week.

Wow, the fall reading week did happen, sucks for those who aren't going to experience it in certain programs. =\


ptsk8: I am taking ECN503 with Anselm during the day and so far it's alright. Expect a review after semester is over? Haha. So far it's 2 midterms worth 20% each (T/F and MC), 1 group research paper and presentation worth 20% in total and 40% final (Non-cumulative; MC and T/F will be based on last three chapters and short answer). Short answer questions are based on all chapters and will be given in advance. You'll be asked to answer a select few so prepare them well. Pretty interesting and worthwhile liberal imo. There is a handful of reading but definitely not hard to read compared to most accounting texts. :P EDIT: Just realized you said liberal with NO FINAL/fail. You may probably want to consider this if all else fails lol.

xxklipse: a friend took FIN610 last semester for his finance minor and complained it was a lot of work... you likely get a better response from actual majors.

[blzn]

I'm looking at a heavy course load this summer since I don't have a job but would I be eligible for OSAP if I have:

2 courses condensed in Spring, 2 courses condensed in Summer, 1 that spans the entire summer. Technically I have 3 courses in Spring and Summer but I don't think that's 3 'seperate billable' units. I'm going in to talk to them next week but was curious to know ahead of time.

I am considering changing my major from finance to accounting. what do you guys have to say in terms of difficulty? is it harder ? easier? more math ? less math? is it more conceptual? theory?

any words of wisdom will be much appreciated!

Is there any way to see a nice list of the courses being offered in the spring and summer semesters or do I have to search for each individually on ramss?

you can just go to advanced and click search

[jmw229]

Is there any way to see a nice list of the courses being offered in the spring and summer semesters or do I have to search for each individually on ramss?

ya it justs shows a **** load. If you're searching for every single course across all faculties, leave subject blank, and just put course for continuing education only. You can click advanced search at the bottom to filter by semester etc. If you're looking for all UL liberals, choose course number is greater than 500 (since all of mine in my program are greater than 500)

Hope that helps

[jgaspar89]

Random question... I'm a college transfer and one of my "reachback" courses is ACC414, which is also a pro related course.... so when i take this as a mandatory course, can i also qualify it as a pro related course as well?

[nx6288]

haha ya funny title!! But yes, im sticking to 5.. I just dont know whether to take ACC522 in fall or winter... & if i do accounting minor.. either LAW603 or ACC801 LOL ^^;

Are you sure you want to take those hardcore finance courses I mentioned? If getting into high finance is your goal, taking these courses alone will not earn you that right, neither will applying everywhere. You will have to do summer internships and network like crazy but in order to land that summer internship, you really have to have something on your resume that will stand out from those applying from Schulich, UTSG, Ivey, and Queens.

ACC514 during the condensed spring or summer term for the first time will require a lot of work. However, stay focused and you'll do fine. The prof you get does sorta play a role but McDonald is not a bad choice. It is a continuation of 414 and a bit of overlap towards the last 3 chapters. ACC801 is one of the less difficult ACC courses and doesn't compare to ACC414/514 hard. 522 is a handful of memorization but not impossible if you keep up and practice. LAW603 is so far a continuation of 122 and not too bad as long as you read thoroughly, attempt assigned cases at the back and pay attention.

ryeman: are you really interested in accounting? It is really competitive and don't come solely for the money. Work hard in your intermediate financial accounting courses (they tend to weed many students). Such areas you'll explore in third and fourth year include taxation, auditing, management accounting and financial accounting up to advanced level. Your course load depends on which designation(s) you are interested pursuing particularly in fourth year. Taxation is heavily rules-based with calculations different from GAAP/IFRS. Auditing is purely theory and involves heavy memorization. Intermediate cost accounting is mainly calculations but the advanced course is apparently mainly theory. The following 4th year courses are known for their intensity and low averages: advanced financial accounting (ACC703), advanced corporate taxation (ACC742 and 842), accounting theory (ACC706) and auditing information systems (ITM595).

And another important thing to add: the profs in this major are pretty mixed. RMP ratings are generally reflective imo.

Your course load depends on which designation(s) you are interested pursuing particularly in fourth year. Taxation is heavily rules-based with calculations different from GAAP/IFRS. Auditing is purely theory and involves heavy memorization. Intermediate cost accounting is mainly calculations but the advanced course is apparently mainly theory. The following 4th year courses are known for their intensity and low averages: advanced financial accounting (ACC703), advanced corporate taxation (ACC742 and 842), accounting theory (ACC706) and auditing information systems (ITM595).

And another important thing to add: the profs in this major are pretty mixed. RMP ratings are generally reflective imo.


Are you sure you want to take those hardcore finance courses I mentioned? If getting into high finance is your goal, taking these courses alone will not earn you that right, neither will applying everywhere. You will have to do summer internships and network like crazy but in order to land that summer internship, you really have to have something on your resume that will stand out from those applying from Schulich, UTSG, Ivey, and Queens.

Thank you both! :lol:

ACC514, I'm planning to take the whole 4 months, once a week.. so it shouldn't be too bad.. right? ><;

As for the finance courses.. I might take to see if I like.. if not might switch to the financial plannings.. But I'm still not sure. What would be a good combo of courses? Should I do my liberals last?
Well I started by working for the school as research assistant, and I've actually learned a lot. Hoping to have my contract renewed for the summer.
But I've heard FIN 601, 611 & 521 are very difficult.. so I'm not sure..

[PopRozay]

anyone take CCMN313 online? how was the breakdown?

[Shimso]

Damn, my ACC842 midterm could've at least bought me dinner first; that's the worst I've ever done any any test or assignment in 4 years :|

[dietsprite]

Random question... I'm a college transfer and one of my "reachback" courses is ACC414, which is also a pro related course.... so when i take this as a mandatory course, can i also qualify it as a pro related course as well?

If your in accounting major it will not count as a profesionally related becuse it is a required course for the acc major.Any course that starts with acc will not count as a PR

[Abe132]

drop it, take it with keith mciness in the spring/summer. you gotta read the chaps yourself. he basically goes through questions in class all of which will appear on the midter/final.

[strawberry8]

Agreed. Ketih MacInnes is the way to go. Guaranteed at least a B but can very easily get an A in the course if you go to all the classes and just follow how he answers the questions.

Damn, my ACC842 midterm could've at least bought me dinner first; that's the worst I've ever done any any test or assignment in 4 years :|

I need to put more time into this course.. I did pretty good on my other ACC courses and this just ruined my GPA for the term :cry:

[geokilla]

I don't think I'll have to take a course more than 3 times. If I do... I'll probably jump off a bridge.

Is Keith teaching in Spring/Summer? I don't see anyone but staff right now. Should also do course intentions as well...

Hey guys I just want to confirm something...

Is the last day to enroll for chang school during the summer/spring on the 19th? Or does it begin on the 19th? The website says enrollment begins on the 19th, however, when I went to the BM office they said the last date is the 19th.

Taking FIN300 & SOC202 (currently in first year)if that makes a difference..

Thanks (:

Hey guys, Does the second half of the course ACC 703 get much harder than the first half?

[ryeman]

So as I mentioned before I am seriously considering switching to accounting as my major from finance...

before I do so I want to get a feel for what the upper level accounting courses, like auditing and taxation are like...


can any one provide previous tests or sample tests that the teachers have given from such courses so I can see what type of material it is .. please and thank you! honestly it would be much appreciated.

Anyone have any helpful material for CFIN 512? I bombed the first midterm so any help is greatly appreciated (and no I don't want to buy.)

I'm bombed the first FIN512 midterm too :facepalm:

But I don't think this is really going to be as hard, on Chapter 6 so far and its mostly just reading material. The application cases basically address every possible scenario, so I've just done those and wrote down the answers, hoping a similar question is on the midterm lol.

001 refer to daytime slots and 701 refer to evening slots mainly for Chang school students. Depending on the circumstances, if intentions for both slots for the term are really low, the system may squeeze everyone in one evening slot when they actually make schedules.

ACC801 - arguably the lighter 3rd year accounting course and more manageable one to get a good grade. Furthermore, it is required by all accounting designations (CA, CMA, CGA) and ACC507 isn't.

[blzn]

So you can now register for Spring/Summer but have to wait until 8:00am for the upcoming Fall/Winter semesters. Guess there is no rush for course intentions :D just make sure I do it this time.

Some easy ones I know of: MKT300, MHR650, ENT526

In regards to the refund for spring/summer courses, I think you have to withdraw from the course 1 week before the day it starts to get a full refund, which happen to me before. Not sure if that was only for Chang school spring/summer courses, it may have been.

506/606 are easiest. stay away from clark for 512/612 if shes teachin

706 is all theory huge emphasis on reliability vs relevance for first half

[Mayyhem]

course breakdown for 650? presentations? prof?

Take it with Frank Miller = One of the best profs at Ryerson imo.

10% case study = easy, 1 page case in the textbook where you answer 4 questions, hard to get lower than 8/10
20% midterm = multiple choice + 3 out of 5 short answer. Just read the powerpoints and come to class and your good, book didn't really help me and I got a 90%. Very easy.
25% group project = very fun online simulation that doesn't take long to do, then you do a little 10 page write up about it with your group
10% video presentation = 6-10 min presentation with that same group where you show a fun video about a topic we learned in class, he says its meant to just have fun and review some of the main course topics. People show clips form like Big Bang Theory and stuff. Not everyone in the group even has to talk. He says its hard to get lower than a 9 on that
35% final exam = same as midterm but no multiple choice.

Very easy and very fun course, plus an amazing prof. Highly recommended.

[neverless]

Ahh... what to do when half of your core courses aren't even being offered :(

[donatepresent]

506/606 are easiest. stay away from clark for 512/612 if shes teachin

In my BUS800 class, we barely use any of the formulas/calculations from FIN401, or even FIN300 alone. Now each prof teaches the BUS800 a bit differently, so another prof could easily use FIN401 material for the case projects.

In my opinion, I doubt you will need extensive knowledge on FIN401 material, and is only a prereq since FIN401 is one of the hardest courses in the core (1st-2nd year) program.

75% Refund: Classroom and Distance Courses: Courses of 42 or More Hours in Duration Single-term 14-session courses: after the full refund deadline but prior to the fourth scheduled class of the course - Multi-term courses: after the full refund deadline but prior to the eighth scheduled class of the course.

50% Refund: Classroom and Distance Courses: Courses of 31 to 41 Hours in Duration After the full refund deadline but prior to the second scheduled class of the course

I am kinda interested in taking LAW 529: Employment and Labour Law. Can anyone tell me how hard (or maybe easy) this course is compared to LAW 122?

Thanks

I took it last year and found it to be easier than LAW122 personally. The professor I had for LAW122 was Avi Weisman and for LAW529 was Pnina Alon-Shenker. I found that although they both taught similarily, Pnina explained it in a way that made it easier for me to understand. Getting a C+ in LAW122 and an A in LAW529 can pretty well show how much easier I found LAW529 to be. For the course the breakdown is:

- Midterm: 30%
- Paper (3 pages): 30%
- Final: 40%

I found them to be really fair, you have to listen to what she discuss in class and emphasizes repeatedly. She does talk straight for the full 3 hours which is the only downside but I found it was worth it. The paper is a 1 page case and you answer the questions accordingly. The midterm and final, listen to the cases she talks about and the reasoning for each, the tests have similar cases so if you just listen and pay close attention to what she says, I feel that you'll do fine. If you have more questions feel free to email.

[rogeruni]

Definitely take GMS 802... this ethics class is a joke. Its simple simple stuff.

i wish i could ! there not offering it in the summer :(
any other simple professional electives? Does anyone know the breakdown of MHR600?

[strawberry8]

Not sure how the course is in Chang School, but I would avoid it. It's not necessarily hard, but its pretty dull stuff because most of it is commen sense. The professor is nice but not everyone pays attention in class, and every class people do presentations that again, hardly people listen too. The prof doesn't really give any hints either so you really have to study everything just in case. The midterm wasn't too bad (the average was around 78%) but here is the breakdown:

- Diversity in the News Presentation: 10%
- Participation: 5%
- Group Report: 20%
- Group Presentation: 10%
- Midterm: 15%
- Final: 40%

I believe xxkilpse is minoring in accounting. :P But yeah it is a given that 801 is much easier than 522. Gekas is publishing a new book next year despite the current book being a great source for self-studying. But regardless, if you practice, a good grade is achievable. There are 4 tests throughout the term so no final. You got to be careful about the last two tests because they are within close proximity towards the end of the term.

Meh, I know I wouldn't put ACC801 and ACC522 together. Test 1 for ACC801 is on week 4 and ACC522 quiz 1(10% mind you) week 3. Had a friend this semester who had the ACC522 test and ACC801 test the same week. There is definitely an impact on grades. If you just wanna scrap and pass these courses. Then its doable. IDK much about the FIN courses in ur 5th semester maybe swap 1 FIN from sem 5 with ACC522.

For semi 6, FIN 611, ACC522 & 801 would be difficult.. LAW603 should be fair? .. DST500 would be light.

LAW603 is a continuation of 122 and it's more focused on certain areas like bankruptcy, negotiable instruments, real property, personal property, agencies, formation of business organizations, etc. IMO it is quite relevant for accounting and finance majors It is more specific and detailed, but more interesting and similar level of difficulty overall.

Law is still open book. I posted something about 801 being one of the lighter courses. 521 and 621 are mainly theory and involve a heavy memorization/reading so I would take them separately for better. Taking 521 first then 621 is easier transition because they have some overlap (sorta) and text for 621 is easier to read lol. 522 involves heavy memorization with calculations. I would warn you that ACC521 and 522 are demanding and likely worse combination than 522/801, but not impossible. I suppose 621 would be relatively easier to take 522 with? 621 workload feels lighter because 521 involves a heavy group report/presentation component that revolves around your group's work ethic.
FIN502 is easy online or during evenings in-class with Joan Lobo so I'm unsure during the day. Online it's just 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and final (problems and MC). FIN501 involves an investment simulation group project, one midterm and final. Take this after 300 and 401, it should be easier although some stuff are new. For the quantitative courses, practice the problems twice. As far as accounting goes in third year, Vena (522) and Deklerk (621) are the better profs.

FIN502 is easy online or during evenings in-class with Joan Lobo so I'm unsure during the day. Online it's just 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and final (problems and MC). FIN501 involves an investment simulation group project, one midterm and final. Take this after 300 and 401, it should be easier although some stuff are new. For the quantitative courses, practice the problems twice. As far as accounting goes in third year, Vena (522) and Deklerk (621) are the better profs.

Let me break it down for you. Best combination would be: ACC522 with ACC621, ACC521 with ACC801. Just Do It. FIN501/502 EASY!!!

Should I take ACC507 instead of ACC621 then?

[~SauFung]

Should I take ACC507 instead of ACC621 then?
621 opens room for CMA and based on the profs, I would say the latter is easier to get a good grade in terms of subjectivity.

[jgaspar89]

Is ACC414 as difficult as people say it is? I'm thinking about doing it through the summer, but not sure if it's a good idea with work/social life/etc.

Condensed 1.5 month term or 3 months? You got to be really focused especially under condensed terms and do the assigned work. Falling behind can be pretty fatal.

Should I take ACC507 instead of ACC621 then?

I found 621 boorrring.

Im in my 3rd year direct entry in acctg program and want to get 51 credit hours for a CA desig. & CICA requires acc100 or acc110. Would I have to take those intro accounting courses after passing all intermed/advanced accountings (414/514/703/706). Also same deal with ACC406 or 410 if I finish ACC801. Thanks!

Anyone taking mandarin in the summer? I'm going to take it just for fun, but really try at it, if all goes to plan I'll eventually take all 4 of the courses... Anyone taken it before? How hard is it gonna be for a peckerwood white boy :razz:?

try and watch some Taiwanese dramas and see if u don't get annoyed after a few episodes :p
Like I speak half-half Cantonese, picked up a few Mandarin pharses, so if you can say How are you? then you impress a lot of girls wink wink :razz:

Would it count towards Upper/Lower Liberal ?

ACC 414 didn't feel difficult when I did it with Else Grech. However the marking is what makes it difficult imo. I thought I knew what I was doing in the final exam.... On Christmas I looked like this: :|

No it doesn't count for a credit (for me anyway) taking it purely out of interest (and I think it would be very useful to speak in the future for job prospects). I don't really want it to count towards my GPA anyway because I'll probably get a mediocre mark

one last question... when is the last day to enrol in summer coursess?

[mykismet]

hey guys, so im planning to take acc521/gms401/mhr405 this summer

going to do 521 tues/thurs spring term

im assuming theyre both easy classes? any particular profs recommended?

To current FIN students, anyone got insight on FIN631 breakdown?

Looking for any advice/tips/feedback on the summer courses that I'm taking:

FIN 502 (Online)
ITM 595 (from what I've heard thus far, I'm very afraid)
PSY 105

CFIN502 online is very easy and prof provides solutions. FIN is actually easy to the point you don't need banks lol, prof writes her own final. Just do the problems and read the text/modules (simplified version of chapters), you'll be fine. PSY105 should be pretty light. Assuming the red text is still being used, use the publisher website to practice for midterms (assuming exams are all MC) as questions are pretty similar. During the day though it's 3 MC exams and 1 essay but via Chang may have different breakdown due to prof as well.

Most of the profs for GMS401 are rated extremely high. The class itself is similar to GMS200, but since your taking it online that means there isn't a group project? Testing is similar to GMS200 in terms of you have to memorize everything + there's math involved now. (some profs have multiple choice while others are short answer)

I'm taking FIN502 online right now and the class is going pretty slow. However I find the last 3 weeks (basically the weeks coming up) worth of reading is a bit hectic (chapters are longer). 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and one final. If you take it in-class theres a project (for this semester I heard it was buying a house)

[Carafe]

When can we signup for summer courses?

[Carafe]

Or better yet -- HOW do I signup for a summer course? I was just accepted last month.

[neverless]

Or better yet -- HOW do I signup for a summer course? I was just accepted last month.

2 methods:

1) Through Chang School Website

2) Directly through the blackboard system.

Method 1

http://ce-online.ryerson.ca/ce/default.aspx

Hover over courses and programs > Areas of interest > choose your course subject

Find the specific course you want. There you will find a list of all the times specific available. Take note of the days it is being offered. It could be offered during the Spring semester (May~June) or the summer (June~August). These classes have 2 lectures a week. It could also be offered from May~August --> this means its one class a week.

Unfortunately RAMSS is down at the moment I am typing this so this part may get a bit confusing. Once you find the section you want, click the green (i think its green?) button on the right of the section, it will add the section to your shopping cart. Your shopping cart has an icon on the top right corner of the screen (not literally on the top right corner but somewhere around it) . From there it will eventually lead you to asking you to sign into the RAMSS system to confirm your enrollment. Don't worry about paying immediately, you can drop it after (before the class starts) if you don't want it.


OR ... you could follow the instructions given by the Chang website : http://ce-online.ryerson.ca/ce/default.aspx?id=3
Method 2

Log into the RAMSS system (through blackboard)
https://my.ryerson.ca/render.userLayoutRootNode.uP

Find the "Shopping Cart" link near the left top. Choose the relevant term. Once you are in your shopping cart, on the left there should be a link to search for a class, click on it and search for the class you want. Since you are taking a summer course, it is a Chang school class, that means there will be a "C" prefix before the actual course code. So if the class code is ACC100 - type in CACC for the course code and 100 for the number. It will find any relevant sections and accept it into putting into your shopping cart. Back at the main shopping card window, under the course you just put in it, there should be an enroll button, you can enroll into the class by doing that.

If there isn't an enroll button, scroll up and look for the enroll tab and you can enroll from there (the enroll screen looks similar to the shopping cart screen)

Q/A

What the heck is Chang?

All night/ Spring/ Summer/ Continuing education classes are done through the Chang school. All their courses have the letter "C" before the actual class code to help you identify them. Since you want to do summer school, you MUST use the "C" prefix, but once you get into the Fall / Winter semester and take day classes, you do not need to use the "C" prefix for your searches.

Your instructions seem a bit off in terms of finding stuff on the screen, why?

As I am typing this, RAMSS is currently down (for their daily maintenance or W/E), so I'm visualizing how the screens look like from memory unfortunately.

[geokilla]

Stats courses have the best name in RAMSS still: Quantitative Meth lol. I wonder if they'll ever fix it :facepalm:

On a side note, has anyone ever taken language or some sort of liberal like courses outside of Ryerson, and used it as a credit? I asked the BM office a long time ago and she said I need to get my hands on a course outline and then get it approved at the liberals office before I should even consider taking those courses outside of Ryerson.

[ChocoolateXWonder]

OMG nahhh I checked Chinese is added as a Lower/Upper Liberal OMG!!!!!!!

Where did you find out this information that Chinese is considered a liberal credit?! I want to take it only if it's a liberal course!!

Has anyone taken ECN506/FIN512 online? How does it differ from in class? Even though I prefer learning in the class, I'm thinking about taking these during the summer, just debating whether to commute or take them online.

Also, hows LAW122? For whatever reason, I didn't get a transfer credit for it back in the Fall? Is it to late to try and appeal, or can I just try to apply again?

Edit: is there an easier way to see whats offered in spring/summer as opposed to just searching?

[Carafe]

Can I just say that I looove this thread? :D Thank you kindly for all the help everyone.

So, here's my next question. It's for all the business students up in hurr. Which one course would you recommend I take in the summer being a first year business student? Something moderately challenging, but not anything that I'll be stressing over too significantly, lol.

Zzzz what's your major? Half the courses of 2nd year apply to all majors...so maybe FIN300? Should be one of the difficult courses of 2nd year besides FIN401. And maybe even do 1 more course like a liberal. Makes your life a lot less hectic as I think 2nd year its all about presentations...(1st year being projects).

Good strategy going forward is 2 courses per summer/spring and you will grad on time. You will find courses that you will screw up in upper years. This will allow you to be safe. (Don't like going to class? Then there's many online courses!=D)

[dietsprite]

I'm curious as to why the CMA require a 60% or more grade on their required courses but for the CGA you need a C+ in the required courses. I think it is a significant difference especially in a tough courses like 703 and 842 and no need for itm595 too. It appears to me that it make the CMA much more of an realistic option to achieve a professional designation or am I wrong ?

I think you can get away with taking MHR 523 online. Fairly simple course. Can probably do GMS 200 online as well. But if you get Sui Sui and/or Glo-Bus.... well run away for Sui Sui.

Most people at Ryerson believe CGA is the easiest to get into but when I tell them CGA requires C+ they are in shock. Therefore, it should go like this CGA>CA>CMA in terms of meeting the requirements. Otherwise becoming the said designations would be like CA>CGA>CMA. I think getting the C+ in the required course allow you to transfer them to the CGA program. Otherwise, you can take the course again with CGA I believe.

But doing CGA when a college grad can do also is meh. So better off going CMA or CA to differentiate themselves. Mine you CA/CGA are similar while CMA is totally different.

Going CMA I think is like a waste to all your accounting courses you have taken. But is is the most doable of the three (Even a FIN major can get CMA:( ).

Than, I thought why bother with the CGA when I can go for the CMA and have easier time meeting the requirements. In addition, i believe the CMA has a better reputation than CGA for potential employers.

These include:

CMN279 - Communication
LAW122 - Business Law

These courses are very do-able in first year but the curriculum has put them into second year instead.

I know a girl who graduated with a bachelor of chemistry and she is working towards getting a CMA designation right now, so I think it is safe to assume that anyone can work to getting a CMA designation. Right now she has a job working as an accountant at Rogers I believe, but she is quitting because she found a better job.

C+ thing is for cga

yeah i think i misread it... i was scared because I actually got a C- in one of the required courses for CMA and I just checked CMA website and it says you need 60% (C- is 60-62%) so I guess as long as none of the required classes are a D+ or lower, it will still count.

Hey can I take both ACC 110 and ACC 410 in the summer also is it hard to take them both at the same time?
Is this the first time you are taking them both? If so, you have to take 110 in spring term and 410 right after in summer term. They will be at an accelerated pace because it's 2 classes/week and keeping up is a must. If retake of both, I suppose it could be done but you'll likely be more focused to get a better mark with 2 courses at the same time. Repeating 110 in spring term and 410 in the following summer term would be easier to manage.

I can only speak for ACC courses in winter where ACC514 and 522 together is going to be rough. I've heard these other FIN courses (521 and 611) are pretty challenging as well. You can always go for 514 in 3 month summer term after, assuming you want full 3 months for 522 during the winter term and don't want to face either 514/522 in 1.5 months.

How is CACC414?

I got a 3.3 in ACC 110 and currently doing ACC 410.

I plan to take ACC 414 in the spring/summer and I just want to get a feel as to how it is.

Is it anything like 110 or 410? Also, how much more effort do you need to put into it?


110 was like 2nd nature to me while 410 takes some getting used to. But in terms of the effort you need to invest, how big of a jump are we talking about?

Hey guys. I need 1 more for my finance minor. Which is the easiest from the list after fin501, 502, and ecn506? Thanks!

I have fin501 and 502 right now. fin501 is easy, but 502 is easier.

Hey guys. I need 1 more for my finance minor. Which is the easiest from the list after fin501, 502, and ecn506? Thanks!

IMO ECN 506 is very easy. I am taking it online. Two assignments with MC questions and short answers and final exam.

I'm going into third year Marketing major in September and was wondering which courses may be better to take in Spring and Summer term than in Fall and Winter. It shouldn't differ between majors but should I take the required MKT courses, or the liberal in Spring and Summer then have more time to work on MKT in Fall and Winter?

It's up to you. Most people (who take summer courses) take liberals in the summer so they can focus on core classes during the year. Also if you are taking core classes during the year you will probably know more people in the classes

502 is like an applied version of FIN300, not too bad.

How is fin512 or ecn606

You need intermediate macro for ECN606 (which i'm assuming you don't have), so FIN512 is left over.

I tried desperately to get into CACC742 for the spring/summer semester but they are not going to let me do it. They say I can get a letter of permission and maybe do the course at York. Has anyone done this before? How would I find out if they are offering the course at York and how would I get into the class. Also, course intention ends this Sunday, correct?

Thanks

[dankup]

^Yes course intention ends this Sunday (March 25th). Has anyone ever been charged with academic misconduct? What is a DN (Disciplinary Notice)? Will this affect me if I apply elsewhere, or finish my degree at Ryerson, or somehow affect my future employment?

[geokilla]

On a side note, has anyone ever taken language or some sort of liberal like courses outside of Ryerson, and used it as a credit? I asked the BM office a long time ago and she said I need to get my hands on a course outline and then get it approved at the liberals office before I should even consider taking those courses outside of Ryerson.


Anyone taken online courses in spring/summer? What's it like? I'm thinking of taking ACC504 and QMS 202 on the Internet, and maybe repeat a 3rd course if required.

Bump..

Oh and I tried to do course intentions just now. RAMSS won't let me do it, nor would it let me select a major because I got kicked out of Accounting major. Now I have to wait till Monday...

What do you mean they won't let you do it? See my above quote where I quote myself and see if it helps your situation. It's seems to be a painful process to apply for transfer credits. I've been asking questions about it for a while now and unfortunately, no one has an answer.

It's only available for 25 students in special circumstances. I told them that I need it in order to take 842 in fall (in which I plan to graduate) and they still won't do anything about it. Pretty mcuh told me to wait or try and do it at york over the summer which I am not really familiar with doing.

[~SauFung]

I heard rumors that Ryerson stopped students from transferring 4th year ACC credits since it is supposedly hurting the school's rep or something. :\

geokilla: taking courses online require all independent study. There should be a discussion board option open and participation may likely count as part of your grade. Some courses online aren't bad at all but some are best taken in-class but it depends on the level and your strength. E.g. a student weak with numbers would likely be better off taking FIN300/401 in-class to see the instructor demonstrating the concepts on whiteboard. You'll have to write final exams on campus at a scheduled time, usually on a Saturday.

[johanscott]

414 is quite a bit harder and requires a lot more effort. However, you should be okay if you dedicate the time for the course.

How much more harder?

I got 3.33 without any effort though that was because ACC 110 was like Gr.12. ACC 410 I expect about a 2.67 and I'm putting about 2 hours a week .

I plan to take ACC 414 in the summer along with FIN. Is that a death sentence to take both? I'm doing the 1 class a week instead of 2 classes a week for both classes.

[johanscott]

Also, I heard in FIN, you get crib sheets? Is this true? And if it is, why do people struggle so much?

Is it similar to the effort needed for QMS? I know for QMS, a lot of people struggle with it for some reason because it's something completely different than most other classes.

I received a 3.67 in QMS 102 and that was with missing quiz #2. I also expect a 3.67 in QMS 202. If I received good marks in QMS, would I expect similar marks in FIN? I know they aren't the same courses but I mean are they the same 'feel' for a course?

Yes for cribsheets: for courses like FIN401, FIN501 and FIN502. People struggle so much because some aren't great with numbers, don't put in the time/do homework, etc. FIN takes more patience than QMS 102/202 (mindless calculator input imo) and you really need to understand the logic. Both FIN and QMS are totally different courses on their own. My advice is to practice, get some past exams and pay attention to the way the prof goes through problems. You'll need to learn the calculator on your own but without understanding the logic, you'll struggle.

3 month term for both FIN300 and ACC414 is honestly more than doable, but you'll still need to keep up to date especially with 414. If you work, that will pose more of a challenge for 414. 414 makes introductory accounting look like a joke due to its heaviness. I would say your 110 performance matters to some extent, but time management and work ethic is incredibly crucial for 414 especially when it comes to the midterms and final exam. Not to frighten you or anything but the final makes people actually realize how crucial it is to pass the final to pass the course.

[johanscott]

So for FIN, you need to learn a lot more outside the calculator steps(which is what pretty much QMS is)? Also, is FIN 300 included in the classes you mentioned with crib sheets?

For ACC 414, does it use any concepts from ACC 410? I know ACC 414 is the assets of the balance sheet so I expect some concepts from ACC 110 but what about concepts and material from ACC 410.Also, for ACC, do you know the format for Chang school like in terms of midterms, test and how much they weigh?

Fin300 gives u a standard crib sheet. If u practice the problems assigned ull be good. 414 isn't like 410. It's 110 but in more detail. Like how to account for specific ****.

At the end of the day it's all easy if u put in the effort. As saufung said, keep up with ur **** and it's all fine. I think 414 isn't too bad, 514 is much more difficult I think

FIN300 is all about the calculator in the end, but it requires more patience to understand logic. Drawing out timelines is key to understanding the fundamentals.
Here's the breakdown of 414 (standardized, I believe): 10% Wiley online homework, 10% wiley online quizzes (Best 2 out of 3, each 5%), 30% midterms (2 x 15%), 50% final (Pass to pass the course).

[johanscott]

What do you mean standard crib sheet? I heard from someone in my class who took FIN that they just give you a formula sheet. Is that what you mean?

Also, any suggestions for teachers for both classes?

What did you do? It will follow you I believe, you may have a chance in fourth year to go ask a council to remove it from your transcript to help you with getting a job, but all universities take that very seriously. Of course some things are worse than others so you really have to say what you did to be able to determine the severity.

[zerg00]

Helppp!!! When are the spring/summer courses going to be posted on ramms?

spring/summer should already be on ramss. you search it on ramss by putting a 'c' before the letters

for example, CACC 333

[zerg00]

doing a finance major and i cant decide between CFA and CFP so im gonna takes courses thats keeps both paths open

http://rufs.ca/academics/accreditation/ <<< this has the CFA recommended courses

http://www.ryerson.ca/content/dam/tedrogersschool/bm/downloads/all_other_pages/CFP_exam_requirements.pdf <<< CFP required courses

fall
FIN512 <CFP
FIN612 <CFP
ACC414 (im taking ACC333 this summer since i tranfered from retail)
PCS181 <lower liberal
another liberal


winter
FIN521 <CFA
FIN610 <CFA
FIN611 <CFA
ACC514 <CFA
ACC522 <CFP


its looks like the winter term is gonna be really hard. any suggestions on how to balance it out.


seems like FIN612 isnt there for the fall term

fall
FIN512 <CFP
FIN521 <CFA
FIN610 <CFA
ACC414 (im taking ACC333 this summer since i tranfered from retail)
PCS181 <lower liberal
CHN101 <lower liberal

im porbably going to drop one of the liberals


winter
FIN612 <CFP
FIN611 <CFA
ACC514 <CFA
ACC522 <CFP
upper liberal < any suggestions?




so does this look more balanced out

It's nothing big.. at least in my opinion. If you're a business student you've taken ITM 102 and had those weekly quizzes. An answer or 2 out of the ~20 questions will be short answer (1 simple paragraph). All the answers are out on the internet so most people just do an internet search since it's an online quiz. I copied a few sentences. This isn't an essay or an exam or anything big I think each quiz is worth ~1%. I don't think I'm going to be in front of that whole council thing where they listen to me.. the prof just wants to talk next week and penalize me. If I get a 0 on that quiz I don't mind to be honest. Really don't want a DN though..

[johanscott]

Yikes. I was already dreaming of just putting bare examples on the crib sheet and everything but I guess not.


Thanks for the info. Great help. Have you had those teachers yourself?

I had John Currie and he was excellent. Does everything on overhead and no calculator steps demonstrated, but he does teach the logic. Quite helpful and responsive through emails, fair man in exams. Else I had for ACC410 and she is fast but one of the best profs I had in the major. Be prepared with readings/work done if you get her and you'll absorb a lot from her. She isn't the easiest marker but fair. McDonald is alright, very lenient marker and fair tester. Nice lady with a bit of blunt personality.

If your prof. is just talking to you it may not go on your transcript and in that case you are completely in the clear. Just try to avoid that going on your transcript at all costs because it will put you at a disadvantage for switching schools (what did you decide anyway?) and applying for jobs. If it does go on the transcript there is the possibility of getting it taken off in your last year. I hear you on the ITM102 answers, when I took it we didn't have quizzes with short answers but I cannot stress enough, take a couple extra minutes to re-word it, will save you a lot of hassle.

Yeah, hopefully he's in a good mood and I don't get in too much ****. It seems that I wasn't the only one who did this, as he sent out an email to the whole class about plagiarism. Yeah, as soon as he emailed me to be in his office I started to research about transcripts and records and all, the DN CAN be taken off 4th year (do I have to go to Ryerson to take it off even if I'll go to another school?). I'm really hoping that I'll just get a 0, I think I know what to say.. As for my decision, OUAC still accepts applications until May 1st, I'll probably apply at the end of April. So far it's only accounting at Guelph I've chosen - they're implementing a co-op program in 2 years, and adding all the required CA courses next year (they already have CGA and CMA requirements). I'm also looking into McMaster and Carleton for now. Windsor has co-op.. but it's Windsor. And yes, ITM 102 is a ton of reading which people usually leave for the week before the exam and use the internet for answers when doing the online quizzes, like you already know. I re-word it, I just didn't do it enough. Gah I hope the consequence isn't bad to affect my application or employ-ability.. Him emailing me and wanting to talk and penalize me sounds better than standing up in front of some council saying I copied an essay.

CMN 279, LAW 122, MKT 100, ECN 340, GMS 401 and 1 more liberal(either Table A or B).

I'm currently taking MKT 100 with Caitlin McLaughlin. She mentioned she's not going to be here next year, so you're not going to get her - I don't know how the other profs are.

Breakdown:
Midterm - 30% very simple midterm
Written Group Assignment - 20% group project might be tough depending on who you choose for your group (9 - 14 pages). You're given a fake product which you have to launch into the market. Some research needs to be done comparing current competitors, etc, and the group needs to choose 1 of 2 given ways to advertise it.
Final Exam - 40%
Mastery Worksheets - 10% There are about 8 or 9 of these worksheets which are given out in class every week. They aren't marked but merely used for attendance. Each worksheet reflects the math portion that was shown in the lecture (couple formulas). Takes 5 minutes to fill out.

Outta 10.. the hardness of the course is like a 4 in my books. It's pretty much a bird course.

LAW122 - 2 midterms (30%/30%) , 1 exam (40%) - all open book ... difficultly depending on the prof you get (got "C" on both my midterms with Peter Wilson but an "A" when on the exam - the exam was written by all the profs lol...)

MKT100 - 2 group assignments (15%/15%), midterm (25%), math worksheets (10%), exam (35%) - same here, difficulty depending on prof you have. I had a horrible prof (Anthony F.) which made the class more complicated than it had to be... (to the point where I absolutely hate marketing)

ECN340 - took it as a liberal last year -->35% midterm, 30% essay , 35% exam ... course was extremely difficult with Barbiero. The lessons are easy to understand - as well as the textbook but when it came to the tests, the difficultly level went up. (every question had this as an option: "None of the above, this is a trick question" !!). Though I learned some interested topics from it, I wouldn't recommend the course. I found this course to be harder than all the courses you listed above.

GMS401 - Pretty much every prof has a high rating on RMP for this course. I have it with Sam L. - hes a bit soft spoken but knows his material really well and very lenient in terms of marking. It is 2 midterms (20%/20%) , 1 group project where you go to a manufacturing/ service facility (20%) and exam (40%).

The five courses you first listed are very possible to do as the workload is not that extreme (pretty much all of them are theory based and not math based [GMS401 has some math]). Getting a sixth course as a liberal is extremely possible if your not working during the semester. Be prepared for November though as all your essays/ projects will pile up.

According to my cousin who graduated a couple years ago, the degree only shows what you are majoring in. It doesn't show your minor. I'm not so sure what shows on the transcript though. She doesn't remember either. However when it comes to job hunting, the potential employers that interviewed her didn't ask her for a transcript. Heck I don't think any employer would ask for a copy of your transcript...

She works at an insurance company I believe.... think it was Sun Life...

Hope this helps

(every question had this as an option: "None of the above, this is a trick question" !!). Though I learned some interested topics from it, I wouldn't recommend the course. I found this course to be harder than all the courses you listed above.

GMS401 - Pretty much every prof has a high rating on RMP for this course. I have it with Sam L. - hes a bit soft spoken but knows his material really well and very lenient in terms of marking. It is 2 midterms (20%/20%) , 1 group project where you go to a manufacturing/ service facility (20%) and exam (40%).

The five courses you first listed are very possible to do as the workload is not that extreme (pretty much all of them are theory based and not math based [GMS401 has some math]). Getting a sixth course as a liberal is extremely possible if your not working during the semester. Be prepared for November though as all your essays/ projects will pile up.

How was the exams for ECN? Also, I heard that the essay was a killer from some people.


As for GMS, how annoying is that group work. I know it's pretty whack that you have to contact companies for tours and stuff.

Let me elaborate a bit more...

For the MKT100 project, make sure you have a decent group as actual research needs to be done (sometimes finding the information might be tricky)

For the GMS401 project, I spent 20x more time on the GMS200 than the 401 project. It was actually easier than it sounds. Many companies already have tour options that can simply sign up and they'll literally answer all your questions for you (e.g. Steam Whistle - but I advise not doing them as people always do them). (I got 94% on the 401 and 97.5% on the 200 if you were wondering). Also presented in front of the class helped improve my speaking skills if that is a plus.

For ECN: Class average for the class was 64%. That was with an 8% boost... to everyone's final grade.

I'm in the CHINESE course now, I didn't have to take a placement test. I'm white with no previous knowledge of Chinese :). It's pretty easy going and you have fun with it... definitely would recommend it. Having a few languages under you belt can translate into a bigger salary if you find the right company!

If anyone is thinking of getting a Finance minor, I will be finished mine after April.

Just a heads up as the easiest way to get it.... Of course I took this way.

ONLY 6 FINANCE COURSES NEEDED:

FIN 300 & 401 - Mandatory for all business students

FIN 501 & 502 - Mandatory for minor (both easy... FIN 501 got an A- [key: testbanks] and FIN 502 i'm looking at an A aswell.)

2 courses left - Easiest ones:

FIN 800 - Financial Ethics. Simple. Anything with ethics is simple in my opinion. Did next to no work and got a B+ (Imagine what you can get if you try?)
FIN 512 - Risk Management & Insurance. Simple. All from the textbook.

NOTE FIN 502 & 512: ***TAKE ONLINE. Openbook tests through the semester, no group projects, exams are either open book or you get crib sheets.

Have fun with your FIN minor.

So I had an appointment today with a prof about a plagiarizing issue. He wanted to talk to me and give me a penalty yet he wasn't there. I came more than once (5 or 6 times) and he wasn't in his office yet we specified a day and approximate time. Do I try again the next day? He doesn't seem to be too serious about this if he's not in his office knowing I am there waiting.

Send him an email, tell him you were there at the time he specified and waited for him. Tell him you dropped in a few times hoping to see him. Ask him what the next step here is. Don't be pushy but give off the vibe that it was definitely an inconvenience for you that he didn't show up. If you're lucky he'll just tell you to forget about it.

That's exactly what I did an hour ago. Still hasn't responded but a few days ago he was on the whole day, we were shooting each other emails back and fourth specifying times. I just don't understand his logic when he KNOWS I'm going to be there because it's an important issue.. It was an inconvenience like you say.

Quick question millow. Prof isn't answering my email and it's been 2 days since I've had to come to his office. He said I can't proceed with anymore online ITM 102 quizzes until we resolve the issue but a) he hasn't responded and b) I'm not in school today with the quiz due tonight @ 11:59. Do I just do it? Should I even come in on my own again when I'm in school? I don't get this guy.. if you want to penalize me because I did something wrong - fine. Don't try to do so and then leave me hanging half way..

I'm not saying it's not my fault. It IS my fault, and I expected to be penalized which he said he would do. Why would he block me if were supposed to meet to discuss a fair punishment for my actions? If it's my fault I plagiarized, and the prof himself said that I should get a penalty - get on it. I don't have time to wait around and think if I should do the quiz and keep emailing the prof to ask him to penalize me? If the prof wants to, he will. I just don't understand his actions when I've already committed, we've set a time and date, yet he, who asked me to come in never showed up. Shows very little responsibility on the professors part and carelessness for his own actions.

I've found that Profs are lazy ... but yet always want to prove something. In my opinion, do the test. If he wants to remove it from your marks then he will. Do it to protect yourself in case he throws the case in the trash and you missed an opportunity to get more marks. Conversely if he sees you did it all you have to say is we didn't meet so I did it just in case.

Guess I'll do it, the damn quiz is worth 1% of the entire course.. but that's not the point. It's him saying one thing and then completely, I guess, ignoring? me. Anyways, I'll knock on his door in a few days again, if he's not there - should I go ask the support desk in the library building what to do next?

Do the quiz. At this point, honestly me personally I would just proceed as if everything is normal. If you've made repeated attempts to meet his wishes and he isn't responding then I would just forget about it. If he brings it up you can just describe all your attempts to him and how he ignored your emails and appointments which just led you to believe that everything was settled.

Prof's do this **** all the time from what I've heard, they are incredibly busy which makes them very flakey. A buddy of mine who was doing his 4th year thesis with a prof told me the prof would cancel almost 50% of their appointments right at the last minute. If he really wants to see you/penalize then you make him chase you, because you've done what you're supposed too and he's the one coming up short here.

Sounds good to me. Just never experienced this kind of thing so I didn't know how to act, but knew I acted in the right way. I mean in high school, plagiarizing was never an issue as teachers didn't use turnitin, etc. Tests were found before they were given out.. you know where I'm doing with this haha. Never had this issue in university, being a 1st year student - just don't want this **** affecting my application to transfer or something later on down the road. Can the prof just give me a 0/put something on my record without me even approving or knowing it?

i had a friend who plagerized on first year itm, and got caught and had his name on some list (forgot what it was exactly) for 2-4 years. if you gonna transfer, that might affect your chances. id talk to the prof asap, and try to settle and say it was an honest mistake or something. some profs are dicks and wont let it slide, even if your a first year student.

Dude, what don't you understand? I've emailed him countless times, we've set a time and date to meet and talk and decide on a penalty, I went to his office before, during, and after our assigned meeting (which he never showed up to - before, during, or after the assigned time). I mean.. clearly I know I plagiarized and have come to terms with a punishment (that was never decided) but I'm not going to chase him down and beg him to penalize me. Who does that?

- Had multiple errors (despite the people there saying it was properly edited)
- Completely random questions at times where your prof had not taught it (or its not even in the textbook!)
- Poorly edited in term of page format (sometimes the text is all over the place!)
- Grammar errors all over the place with random information not even needed (for example, I'm looking at the FIN401 mock exam and it has a paragraph of 9 lines of information that is randomly placed there with no attached questions)

hey i want to try and transfer to mac or brock, any one know how I should go about beggining the process. Im in first year btw.

Brock BAcc is full for Fall 2012 entry, Mac is competitive and requires about an A- for your GPA in university (business). I don't know what you want to transfer to but I made a list of questions I had to ask and called each university before choosing a few to apply to. You apply through OUAC through the 105D application, it's for all other students who aren't in high school. I would also recommend taking a tour to the place or getting a few friends to show you around if they are in that institution. Most of the information can be found on the university's website but if you want to get technical (like I did), I had particular questions I needed answers for and giving them a call will help. Check their website to find out roughly how many transfer credits you'll get, what students take 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year there for your program, the fees, co-op (if there is any), opt out dental fees, residence costs, etc. You gotta be smart about it - don't just apply before doing your research. It costs way more for transfer students than for grade 12 students. Lastly, one important thing - find the application deadline. Also, if the program you want to transfer to has grade 12 prerequisites that you don't have, you have to have a midterm mark for them at or before the application date. For example, business programs in university need 2 grade 12 math courses and I only took 1. The only option is to take an online course while doing your university courses, and making sure you've finished half the grade 12 course by the application deadline to get a conditional acceptance.

Those mock exams are pretty useless..

Can't settle the matter with Enrolment Office till Tuesday :(

signed up for spring/summer and no late fees yet but i did get email reminding me to pay off the balance.

[belowzeros]

are you guys undergrads? i didn't realize your could sign up for a Chang course and not pay up front to secure your spot.

[geokilla]

Did anyone get an OSAP letter asking you to confirm your enrollment in school in fall? How do I do that? I still haven't done course intentions and picked a major, which I have to do in person because I wasn't eligible for Accounting major and got kicked out. My friend says Ryerson will take care of everything for me, but I don't wanna take any chances.

Is the used book store open in the summer? If I give a book in and it sells, I don't want to wait 'till September to get the cheque :/

Yes it is

[strawberry8]

Got charged late fees and went to inquire about them today. They said that the fees are due at the end of the month that you registered in the courses (i.e. March).

I don't see anywhere where it states that, only that the fees are due May 11: http://www.ryerson.ca/calendar/2011-2012/pg14.html

I get the letter every year. Basically when you sign up to OSAP for Fall 2012/Winter 2013 year, that will automatically let OSAP know your your confirmed for enrollment. If you get a $0 estimate then all you do is fill out a form saying you will be in the school for the year (forget the name of the form but its on the OSAP website) however you will have to wait until school starts to give the form to the OSAP office.

Ah ok. Do I sign up for Fall/Winter OSAP now? I'll sign up for part time OSAP for Spring semester, assuming I'm eligible for it.

Two questions --

When is the $1000 enrollment deposit due? (I'm a first year student)

When is course registration beginning for the Fall?

You must pay before July 3 (particularly important if you have scholarships lining up). They recommend before June 22 so they can process it.

Since your a first year, the online system (otherwise known as RAMSS) will automatically make a schedule for you (it also does it for Winter 2013 as well). I think it will be available to see sometime mid to late August? You can change your classes (if you wish) once September arrives.

Also note, it will automatically put you into your mandatory classes, however some programs need you to pick an elective in your first semester as well (they don't do this for you, and you might be 1 course behind but thats normal for many students). You can do this late August I think ... page 12 of the document below shows you how to.

Hmm, despite FIN401 having a reputation for a high failure rate and the fact that people take it in 4th year :facepalm:, it doesn't seem so hard if you take the time study it and try to understand everything. During the semester I was so confused in class but now it seems to make more sense.

Hey guys,

I need to take MTH 410 (Statistics) but I DON'T want to take it with that old witch that teaches it.

Is there any other university that offers an equivalent course I can take instead? I'm finding it hard to look for courses cause I'm unfamiliar with the way transferring credits works.

Help?

Thanks!

Lol 522.. Vena tests that course as if the course was still open book. Too many details, 742 isn't A LOT harder if that helps.

[blzn]

Pretty sure Vena supplies you with the tax credit amounts. You'll most likely have one word question like the residency one on the midterm but it'll be Business Income V Capital Gain. Just practice all questions done in class again and again.

Just came back from astronomy (PCS 181). Buckby said she's working on another astronomy course that will be called extraterrestrial life, or something alone those lines. The course should be available for the 2013 year (not fall of 2012, but fall of 2013). She's also working on a minor in astronomy she said. No clue if the course is going to be as easy as PCS 181. Hopefully it will! Either way, I'd rather talk about aliens than the geography of a city.

Easy if you read and do the textbook/module (at minimum) problems. There are a handful of calculations. Breakdown is MC and some problems. Problems are definitely nowhere as hard as the hardest questions in the text.

Ya she told us on Monday. But will it be an upper liberal or lower liberal course..? That is the question. I'm interested in the minor though, even though it's not necessarily a good combo with Accounting/Finance major.

[elproducto]

Hey everyone, kind of a long post but any help is appreciated in this matter.

I am a first year student in the Occupational Health & Safety program. During the second semester, I ended up dropping CHY 152 Organic Chemistry since I wasn't getting good grades and need to maintain my GPA. I decided I'd take it over the summer but I just found out that the course is currently full through CE. I was late in registering for the course as Occ. Health students weren't initially able to register through RAMMS. Once I contacted the program coordinator through e-mail, I was told the course is full and I was too late.

I am now concerned as I have an Introductory Toxicology course in the Fall semester which requires CHY 152 as a prerequisite. I was told Chang Education may offer the course during the Fall semester, and that it will also be offered during the Winter semester of 2013. I expressed my concern through an email to the program coordinator and whether or not I should come in to speak with Darlene (Occ. Health coordinator) and I was told that it is the student's responsibility to ensure they have all prerequisites.

At this point in time, what course of action can I take to remedy this situation? I understand I may be able to take the course through Chang Education during the Fall semester whilst also taking the Introductory Toxicology course provided my schedule has space.

However, if it is not offered during the Fall, what are my options really? The Winter semester of 2013 includes Toxicology II which requires Toxicology I as a prerequisite so I am in a very difficult spot at the moment.

I'm taking that class. No notes, I only learn accounting by the book and by doing each question in the chapter. I do know that each chapter has a summary at the end if you want to look at that.

For the Gym, there's no seating plan. You just have to check which rows your section is in by logging on to RAMSS and checking the Exam Schedule. Then on the day of your exam, everyone will be seated in alphabetical order like in any other class and you just have to find your name within the rows specified on the Exam Schedule.

Ok, anyone who wrote CFIN502 today, I need to know this or else it will eat at me until marks are up...

The first few questions dealing with MTR on ordinary income, dividends, capital gains... was the total provincial surtax (Tsp) 36% or do we use 56% (combine both 20 and 36%)? I never really clarified that before the test and it may have just screwed me. In the question, his/her total provincial tax was above the 36% threshold so I went with my gut and used 36% on all 3 questions... if I did that wrong Im gunna be so pissed cause the test was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and a minor mistake like that would really, really suck.

Edit: Just saw it is 56%. Damn.

I'm pretty sure Tsp wasn't 0 in that question on the final.. in the examples it was 0, yes, because there was no surtax at that income level (30k or 40k in examples). He had an income of 74,000 so he qualified for provincial surtax as his total provincial taxes were above the "thresholds"... Maybe you're thinking of the federal surtax which is always 0?

I don't know. Should have studied more and put more time into the course than I did. Maybe I really messed up the taxes part.. but I'm pretty confident it wasn't 0.

I disagree. Tsp would apply at 40k but it was NOT used. What we are calculating is not employment income so I think we aren't looking at the employment income number to justify if there is Tsp.

[jgaspar89]

I disagree. Tsp would apply at 40k but it was NOT used. What we are calculating is not employment income so I think we aren't looking at the employment income number to justify if there is Tsp.

No it wouldn't... At a taxable income of $40,000... (using Ontario rates given)

The first 34,010 @ 6.05% = $2,057.61
40,000 - 34010 = $5990 @ 9.15% = $548.09

Total provincial tax = $2605.70. The minimum threshold is provincial tax payable over $3,929 (20%) or $4,957 (36%).

You have to take the thresholds into account, not just the AMOUNT of taxable income. It's in the formula for a reason.

[neverless]

Exam was on the easy side. There was provincial surtax and you should have been using Tsp = 0.56 ... if you couldn't figure this out that means you didn't even bother looking at the modules - the questions were the most basic you could get in terms of the MTR. Otherwise the exam was much easier than I expected.

Tips for future students for exam time: Study the modules - those are the most crucial. You can read the textbook to get a gist understanding of the crucial theory but the examples sometimes get out of hand (very tedious and time consuming examples). Do all the multiple choice in the textbook (there's only like 5 per chapter so not too hard). Also, do some of the problems from the textbook - some questions were pulled directly from them. I would have to say most of the problems in the textbook are a bit ridiculous (some are impossible to do, while others there is no way you could figure them out by understanding just the chapter alone), however they are many problems that are simplier and can be done - do those.
The course is best taken AFTER you finish FIN300 as TVM, mortgage calculations, bond pricing, and risk (e.g. standard deviation, and E(R) of portfolios) are all in the course - which you also learn in FIN300. It's best to take it while you have FIN300 still fresh in your head.

Joan Lobo seemed very friendly. Also that Scantron we used, it wasn't like the red large ones we had in the past!

Yes, the rates are given in a nice little chart on the test (prov/ fed rates - which includes DTC and surtaxes)

Surtax, you lump them together if your doing MTR calculations ... e.g. if their in the 20% and 36% range, your using 56%

Has anyone tried CACC 414 and CFIN 300 for the 2 day classes a week?

In order to get the best teachers, I need to take CACC 414(Else Grech) from May-June and CFIN 300(John Currie) from June-July.

Is it difficult to do this or would it be better to do the full 3 months(May-July) with both classes as 1 day per week? For the 1 class per week, I'd have to take Julie McDonald(ACC 414) and Mercy Anselm/Scott Anderson.

Has anyone tried CACC 414 and CFIN 300 for the 2 day classes a week?

In order to get the best teachers, I need to take CACC 414(Else Grech) from May-June and CFIN 300(John Currie) from June-July.

Is it difficult to do this or would it be better to do the full 3 months(May-July) with both classes as 1 day per week? For the 1 class per week, I'd have to take Julie McDonald(ACC 414) and Mercy Anselm/Scott Anderson.

do u have any other commitments? if you're working 37.5+ hrs a week or a FT job then it'll be difficult if you dont manage ur time well. otherwise it's fine, taking one or 2 condensed courses at a time isnt all too bad, you cover the material in a relatively short time but its easier for u to rmber it near exam time.

exams are last day of class, i have never had to write a CE class in the gym or anything, always in class itself

[kaydoo]

What courses are you guys taking in the spring/summer for those in the accounting major? I'm doing ACC521 and ECN506 (finance minor online) so far. I wanted to redo ACC514, but lots of time conflicts. Speaking of which though, I was wondering if anyone took CACC514 online with Annie Papazian? If you could tell me what it was like and such, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

[-Skyline-]

Anyone who has taken CFIN 612, can you give me a breakdown and more info on the course? Also could you send me the assignments. Thank you.

[donatepresent]

For ACC703 final should we just focus only on Chapters 7-11 or is there a possibly there would be Intercompany Inventory and Land profits from Chapter 6 in the Business combination question?

[kazatta]

Has anyone taken ECN204 online? Can anyone explain how Distance Education works, in general? Thanks a lot!

Any RFDer got input on Kevin Tran for CACC522? Read good things on RMP.

[geokilla]

Julie McDonald is teaching but it's full. :P

That's if we take from May to August. I want my summer lol.

Has anyone taken these core courses outside of Ryerson and get them transferred in to replace stats, ACC 504, whatever? I'm gonna consider doing that and call them up tomorrow.

I would recommend philosophy cphl550(philosophy of belief truth and knowledge) with Alan Belk online you almost guranteed an B + or A- if you do the work required
very helpful and easy going Prof.

The breakdown is 30% discussion forums 30% minor essay and 40% major essay, he only want about 800 words for both of them so its not even that long.
The only thing is the readings can be time consuming

My friend is taking Tran right now for CACC522 while I'm taking Vena. I've seen his midterms and such, and they're a LOT easier than mine. Haha. Instead of one question being worth say, 30 marks, it would be broken up in to a bunch of smaller ones.

[princess2132]

has anyone taken ENT 500 online?

[dankup]

Never been in Kerr Hall. Where is Upper Gym (West Kerr Hall)? How do I get there?

[ptsk8]

The GYM location is on the Second Floor of Kerr Hall West
You can always go up to the Library, assuming you know where it is, then proceed opposite of the library entrance to the bridge that crosses over to Kerr Hall West, continue left and foward and listen for the crowd of people

or

from the quad, you should see some large steps at the west side, which will lead to the GYM.

On a side note to add, that such a big win for Julie McDonald teaching CACC504, the last slot might be Whelan... -_-
So glad I don't have him for CACC514 :D

what are the chances of accountant profs passing individuals (specifically walter krystia) with a 50% on an exam? (assuming I get below 50- on exam - I did quite decent on midterm and completed all APLIA assignments)

Do you still have to do that project and presentation if you take it in Chang school? The only ones available are the 2 class a week.

Just inquired about taking courses outside of Ryerson... Why do they always need a hard copy of the course outline T_T

Anyways, which of the following looks the closest to QMS 202? I think Introduction to Applied Statistics looks the closest to QMS 202 (http://www.ryerson.ca/calendar/2012-2013/pg3233.html#250736).

Julie McDonald or Else Grech?

Had Julie McDonald for the winter semester. I enjoyed going to her class she used the powerpoints during her lecture and would go through problems using solution manual. I'm not an accounting major and I found the midterm and exam to be fair(maybe easier than expected), there weren't any surprises as long as you studied the chapters. During the lectures she emphasized which problems are midterm/exam quality and if you practiced those you would be fine. This is 414 so you have to do a lot of studying on your own, either way the profs can only do so much.

[neverless]

From a past student I've heard from - yes. I also took it in Chang school (well... the night class where it was 1 class/ week and I had to do the project). I think the project is a great way to learn about operations management though (and dealing with group members)

I'm in the economics major, "QMS" courses are pretty much all applied math courses (same thing with the upper year QMS courses). Yes, the intro to applied stats does look similar to QMS202 (as long as it deals with these course topics: confidence intervals, hypothesis testing -->One/ Two sample, ANOVA, Chi-square ... also simple/ multiple regression)

I had Walter in my first year for ACC100, I doubt he would pass you since there are so many people taking that course (1st years) and they deal with this problem all the time. Plus, given that you know his nature from the break-out sessions, I think you would answer it better :D (he did increase my marks for my 2 midterms due to addition errors if that's a plus to you).


Does anyone have any past finals for FIN 300??

Sent. Get to know your calculator very well - it'll benefit you.

Good luck to day-time FIN401 people. Get to know your options (puts/ calls) as well as intrinsic value + time value related to it. Was a considerable chunk of the exam.

For ACC703 final should we just focus only on Chapters 7-11 or is there a possibly there would be Intercompany Inventory and Land profits from Chapter 6 in the Business combination question?

Im pretty sure we would need to account for inventory and land profits in the business combination question, although it may not represent big part in the question

Hi everyone, when are the schedules for the Fall semester usually posted? I don't really remember how it worked for my first semester (I'm in first year)

In first year the schedule is made for you. You are free to switch classes and what not but you will be given a schedule for both the fall and winter semesters. In 2nd year and beyond the onus is on you to do course intentions for the a schedule to be made for you. If not you will have to make a schedule for yourself during your enrollment appointment, or open enrollment.

Yes you mail the receipts and metropasses with your T1 General. Textbook receipts do nothing. The textbook credits is based on your full time/ part time courses on your schedule 11.

I had Kevin Palmer this semester for ACC110.

He's really good, he's funny and very experienced in the Accounting field. I ensure you'd learn all the concepts pretty well, but his tests can be a bit tricky.. and he's extremely hard marking with cases. But yeah, don't know which accounting teacher is considered better than him. I'd definitely recommend.

I heard metrics are 50% of the exam.. they're simple - know them. Study powerpoints I guess..

[Cheap Asian]

I filed my taxes online last year and I never sent my metropass off.... Turbo Tax said I was getting $0 refund o.O

The transit tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit. Which means it can only reduce your taxes owning but you cannot get money back for it (ie, it can reduce your taxes owning to $0 but it cannot bring it to negative). Everyone gets a basic tax credit of 10,000 (federal). So if you made less than 10,000, you are better off letting your parents claim the credits.

Has anyone taken FIN631 (Financial modelling I) with Anderson? How was the course overall? I am very interested in learning Excel w/ finance.

Does he teach the course well? The main reason is because in my FIN401 class, he emphasized over and over that he wasn't up to date with technology - plus he never really used blackboard at all. Since the course revolves around excel ("computers" AKA "technology"), does he actually teach the course properly?


Also the people in FIN731 (Financial modelling II) can reply to this post too.

Don't need to describe his personality b/c I already had him for FIN401.

Maybe he was being sarcastic about the technology comments:o

For the courses needed for the CA designation, is there a minimum grade needed? I know you need a 2.67 GPA but do you need to get a minimum grade for each course? For example, someone gets a 55% in 3 of my accounting courses but have a CGPA of 3.0 for their CA required courses.

I saw that CMAs need a minimum for 60% for each course but didn't find anything for CA so I'm not sure.

[Mango2209]

You just need a passing grade according to university standards.

You need an average of 2.67 CGPA in your ICAO courses if you want to be a CA, plus pass them obviously

[-Skyline-]

When are the marks posted for chang and regular school?

[geokilla]

From Else Grech who sent this e-mail to her students after the ACC 414 exam last semester.

1. You DO NOT need B- in every course for the CA designation!!! So many students have this misunderstanding and it needs to be addressed. There are students who are retaking courses because they believe this and it is just NOT TRUE.

The requirements for CA are: for the 17 required courses, which make up your 51 credit hours, you need a minimum B- AVERAGE.

That means you could get a D in ACC414 and, as long as the rest of your 17 courses result in a B- average, you will get into the CA program.

While we are at it let's clarify a few other things:

CMA designation: minimum of 60% IN EACH COURSE.

CGA designation: minimum 65% IN EACH COURSE is their standard BUT this depends on the university you take your courses at.

For example, from University of Windsor you are required to get 70% in EACH COURSE. You have to apply to find out what they require from Ryerson.

The EIF textbook is so boring and takes soo long to read. IOU textbook wasn't too bad but to read all this and study the Powerpoints and the notes from his lecture is a lot of work.

Goss is really making us work for this final.

[neverless]

anyone here took economics? is there alot of calculus involved?

Intro level needs no calculus.

ECN504 (intermediate micro I) needs some basic understanding of calculus. The prof will most likely teach you calculus in the course as you go along. Higher level economics needs understanding of topics such as multivariable calculus.

Having prior knowledge of product/ chain/ quotient rules + partial derivatives and optimization will give you an advantage in the course but note there isn't a calculus prerequisite for the course so that should give you an idea.

There was actually a question on mine that involved the Spot Pricing formula from FIN501 (Final for that course was noticeably more challenging than midterm) when I wrote it last year lol. F0=S0(1+rf) + C. I would say more emphasis on post-midterm chapters but everything is fair game imo. Watch Mergers and Acquisitions and Homemade Leverage, these are the more confusing topics in the course. Options and futures can be confusing due to the theory but since you finished 501 already, it shouldn't be too bad at this point. Putting examples on your cribsheet doesn't hurt at all.
