anyone here have Clare Chua for QMS 102 ? Mind sending me her powerpoints to vincent.7979@yahoo.com much appreciated.

We got a midterm next week, and I got McKessock. I heard Chua's power points are good.

Wow, I actually kept mines from about 5 years ago. A little bit old, so I don't know how reliable they are, but enjoy:

Anyone in ITM301 with Franklyn Prescod on Mondays remember what type of question he might ask on the PartII the short answer section? Any help would be appreciated.


^Actually I only need to confirm whether he only asks questions about material he covered in class or not, reading whole 2 chapters in 2 days to prepare for short answer can be a bit challenging
edit: I rmb he said something about what need to consider to improve network performance, not sure

I know for a fact that the questions he will give us for mcq will be from the publisher test bank he said. and for the short answer will be simple but like u have to think about it. as far as the info. is concerned you should really read the txtbk because the ppts do not have a complete picture like there only points. My friend studied from the ppts only and he didn't do too well on the quiz. so yh...

[thetis]

i mean do we only need to learn the part that he has covered in class? (in chapter 12, he only taught up to request for proposal. in chapter 13, he stopped after introducing performance and fault management) or we have to read everything in chap 12 and 13 ( i counted its about 60 pages, urg)

oh yeah definitely because he can ask anything. It would be very silly not to read it.

Don;t worry it will be very straight forward with no trick questions. All you have to do is know how to use the professor issued excel templates and be familiar with them. On your cheat sheet right down examples of those that would tell you readily how to solve.
Good Luck with your midterm.

and remember to print you paper with a BIG "READ QUESTIONS CAREFULLY", in bold, plus size 72

I still remember I lost huge points in the stem and leaf question because I didnt read the part saying about how I should arrange the number or sth like that

[cuongp]

apparently there's a petition going around for the itm102 course because the quizzes are a little unfair (some questions that appear on the quiz were never talked about in class, shown on power point, or appeared in the readings, or they appeared in a future reading)

a little pissed cause i just finished a quiz with one of those types of questions, anyone else ever had that problem when they took itm102?

i was joking before in one of my earlier posts about this but i seriously won't be able to maintain my 4.33 in this course if they keep on pulling b/s like this

edit FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... sitting at 93 now...

[79vincent]

for the ACC 110 there are 11 labs, on the outline it says ten out of the eleven homework assignments will be included in the evaluation at one (1) mark each, totaling 10 marks. Do they randomly select 10 or is it the top 10?

Hey, there is still a chance that you might get your 4.33 once the exam comes in. It was a joke and I believe you have the 40% lab component now which is basically free marks so you may still get your desired grade. :P Don't you guys have an essay for ITM102 now? Maybe this may boost your mark... or not. *shot*

Hmm, last year I didn't have this problem with online quizzes but HOWEVER, my prof did address this issue quite a bit. Probably very few students had this problem. I don't remember what he said, but something about contacting the TA. Did anyone contact the prof and/or TA about irrelevant questions earlier? This should have been resolved then. Now this petition seems to be in a bit of a mess now and we are in the middle of the semester. Have the profs responded yet?

I assume this year they select the best 10 out of 11 labs. Last year when I took this course, the 10% marks included all 11 labs.

i heard that students contacted the TA and the TA told them to contact that prof and the prof just told them to contact the TA...

i also heard that she was rude and not really helpful, i emailed her at 4am this morning after i finished the quiz, so we'll see how this turns out...

[~SauFung]

^ Wow... what a mess. :facepalm: Did students ask the TA and professors about who they're actually supposed to contact after this mess? Or did they just give up in frustration?




Anyone going to the LAW122 tutorials from 2-3 pm this week?

[v-unit]

How do I pick up documents that my professor left in the computers in computer labs? I have an excel file to open in either KHW71 or LIB386L computer labs but I don't know how to open them. Anybody ever do this before or taking GEO110? How the hell do I get this file?

Also, where the hell is LIB386L? There is LIB386A-H and thats that. Nobody in the library knows and they just said "It's up there, keep looking" :confused:Such good staff we have working there.

[geokilla]

Didn't I say that last week about ITM 102? The petition and everything? The whole course is a mess...

The TA and prof haven't talked about this yet. We're still waiting for an announcement from them, whether it be on BlackBoard or in class.

I'm gonna be so screwed for QMS 102 mid-term... I dunno what's going on in class and no idea how to use the TI-83 to calculate whatever we learned. Can anyone help?

to those who took FIN300:

I have a midterm for FIN300 this wednesday, as well as a midterm tomorrow. I am really using my to the best of my ability but it is really difficult for me to obviously do every question at the end of the chapter problems. So I was wondering, on the midterm, did you see a lot of Basic difficulty or Intermediate difficulty questions (as the level of questions go in the textbook. They are labeled as basic, intermediate and challenge). And any advice in general that may come to mind would be great. Thanks!

Doesn't your prof assign any questions though?

I posted this earlier a few pages back in terms of the breakdown- it was a fair mix of difficulty levels. The bulk of the questions are mostly intermediate, a fair amount of basic questions ("Gimmies" as my prof calls them) and maybe ~2-3 tricky/challenge questions.

Should be on the course outline, on the schedule section of the course outline- the in-class homework due column unless things changed again. Also, just remembered that for ACC110- the first lab didn't count for us then.

First year does feel like a dream, a matter of time management and building decent habits for later years. If you're planning to head into accounting or finance, the honeymoon ends once you step into ACC414 in 3rd semester.

Lol, a lot of people are in that situation. They have no clue of what's going on in class and don't know how to use the calculator that they invested over $100 in... In my honest opinion I don't think there's a need to go to your QMS classes and listen to your professor, you're better at just reading your textbook and follow the course outline of what you have to learn. Teachers like Tavares give you the second thought of not going to class and work independently. From my example, going to Tavares's class is pointless; the info on the text are much clarified and thorough then his "do you agree?" class...

actually, i go to all the classes and take notes cuz i haven't bothered to purchase the textbook

Nope not that hard, get the text and preferably the standard calculator (Casio). Yup, 202 is heavily calculator-based. It's pretty easy to follow once you know the theory and the text demonstrates the Casio steps. I've heard of people using T1-83 graphing calculator and the prof cautioned them that they're responsible for the functions. This Casio calculator is pretty good- it will be useful in FIN300/401/future classes and GMS401 too.

QMS 102/202 is a joke, particularly on the first half. It's much easier if you did take Data Management in Grade 12. No permutations/combinations are involved in the course, which is good news. :D

bombed that class to say the least

I didn't take data... And I still haven't figured out how to do the calculation manually or with TI-83... This is bad.

MC questions covered things like qualities of information, types of decisions, information/operation/management process, order-to-cash/purchase-to-pay process, ERP modules, etc. Most of it was from chapter 1, 2, 4. only few questions from chapter 3
And the diagram part, the case wasn't that hard. to give you an idea of the difficulty our case was something like -> sales office gets a request for insurance, creates 2 docs, files one and sends other to processing department who keys it in the computer. End of the day the sales office prints a summary and compares to the filed docs and then notifies other department to create a new record and send a notice to customer.

A 31/50 on that so far doesn't sound so good, in my eyes. Micro doesn't get easier. The prof writes the final for their own sections as there maybe some discrepancies over the content covered (Ex. Class A covers one topic ahead of the other sections. Also, the profs use different textbooks for introductory economics courses).

The final is harder. I suggest that you drop the course unless you can break the odds (very slim chance).

Take it next semester- you may be one credit less as a result you'll have to pick it up in the spring/summer then.

Next semester when you take it again, I recommend dropping by the tutoring center as they can be helpful.

You have until Nov 12th to drop the course w/o academic penalty.

[xxklipse]

Do you guys think I should talk to the prof about it? What I should do ? :S

I know theres a tutoring center.. but do they offer economics ? :S I could really use one :// kind of late though.


Should I also drop by the info center place?.. @ TRS 7th floor.

At this point, I recommend talking to your prof over your situation first and consider what areas are your weaknesses and what not. Yes, they offer 104/204 tutoring- schedule's posted around the building.

i have a transfer credit for utsc for qms102 so i'll be going straight into qms202 next semester, is this going to be a problem? i.e learning how to use the calculator Well so far we've used the calculator for basic functions to figure out simple math stats such as the mean, median, mode, etc... Oh and also to order different sets of data either in ascending or descending order, and that's pretty much it! There's nothing you need to be worry about and you won't have any problems with the transition. Also, I'm pretty sure your professor for QMS202 will review many concepts from the previous course including how to use the calculator.

Thats what she said.............................................. ......................... when she saw my mother :S

A 31/50 on that so far doesn't sound so good, in my eyes. Micro doesn't get easier. The prof writes the final for their own sections as there maybe some discrepancies over the content covered (Ex. Class A covers one topic ahead of the other sections. Also, the profs use different textbooks for introductory economics courses).

The final is harder. I suggest that you drop the course unless you can break the odds (very slim chance).

Take it next semester- you may be one credit less as a result you'll have to pick it up in the spring/summer then.

Next semester when you take it again, I recommend dropping by the tutoring center as they can be helpful.

You have until Nov 12th to drop the course w/o academic penalty.

I know everybody does bad on ECN104, until they all magically go up based on the final. What were the averages of both the midterms? If your mark is higher than average I would keep the course, just because the introductory ECN classes are known to bell curve. I was going in with about 65% when I took it a few years ago and finished with a B, and I found the final exam to be difficult.

[thetis]

That's what I said when I saw the ITM 420 textbooks.
just googled
2000+ pages, holy **** :facepalm:
are you required to read everything in that book?

btw i dont think ECN104 thats hard, did the test this morning and got 92/100, and i dont remember any formula at all :/
the trick is to remember the relationship between elastic and total revenue so with just simple calculations, you can figure out the answer

[Dystopia]

Just wanted to air my displeasure with Get It! @Ryerson :@
Got an essay due Thursday, trying to finish it up today cause I've got a late shift tomorrow at work.
Three journals now had what seemed like prefect! articles from the abstracts. Ryerson provider hyperlink was down for all three :@

Gonna have to search for hard copies tomorrow or sift through more crap to find relevant sources :-/

*Much better.

i agree, ECN104 is not hard at all. then again it really depends on which prof you have. every prof is doing their own thing. Some ask for you to use the textbook others don't, some uses the slides others don't. Some classes have 2 mids others have only 1 mid to write. I'm in Debapriya Sen's class, we have 2 mids, 1st one was fairly easy for me 87/100 with the 2nd one to go then final. He Doesn't use slides but explains nicely and very clearly to the point where you say "can we move on to next topic". He writes on the white board small some times so you have to come into class to get a good seat. I didn't even buy the textbook.

I was going in with about 65% when I took it a few years ago and finished with a B, and I found the final exam to be difficult.

I don't know if my prof, Barbiero will bellcurve. ratemyprofs said he gave 10% boost. but thats not 100% certain :|

My prof wrote the text book, but sometimes he isnt really that clear.... The reason I got such a low mark on my first midterm was because I thought the midterm would be more theory based. Turns out I was wrong. Everything was application.. and I didnt learn the graphs before in high school. I did improve I guess.. by 10% on the midterm from yesterday. yay formulas. still not that great. a 67. the class average was a 66 though.


if i do decide to drop, planning to take it in the summer.. the guy at student center suggested to take micro economics with Antani ?

[Hyphy]

The class average for a first yr ECN course was 55%, me scoring 42.5%. This was worth 30%
Just wondering if I should stay in the course? The other components are 1 paper w/ proposal (25%) and final exam (45%)

Does your prof have office hours and say he is willing to help students during those times? IMO, that could help along with getting any assistance from the tutoring center.

Quite a handful of ECN104 questions on the final are application but some theory as well. I dropped from a B to a B- because I didn't study properly- part of it was based on pushing it to ~2 days worth of studying which didn't help. Microeconomics was not one of my best subjects then, because of the later half for me. *shrug*

As a first year student I have a question regarding the wireless internet connection at Ryerson. I have noticed that different areas have different speed( yes I know that this varies with the signal strength). What I would like to know is what are the places that have highest signals? I know the lounge outside the cafetaria on the 1st floor of the library building has max strength. I want to know this because I am looking for the best place to download some stuff at highest speeds.

[CatDog]

Did anyone drop ACC414 this semester? If you did, please send me a PM.

I dont know if I should risk it.
If i dont drop, it'll just stay on transcript... and if later on I want higher GPA.. I'll just repeat it.

If I drop it.. I'll just have to take it again in the spring/summer.

Wow, the marks are up for Zathy's midterm #1. Better than what I anticipated (I had a gloomy outlook of a C range mark), but still I could have done so much better if I paid more careful attention in some parts. *headdesk* If fellow classmates saw my careless mistakes, this would be their reaction: :facepalm: What the hell was I thinking then.

Gotta see my results tomorrow to see how the marking scheme is like.

At this point, I recommend talking to your prof over your situation first and consider what areas are your weaknesses and what not. Yes, they offer 104/204 tutoring- schedule's posted around the building.

Nope, but you can bring your laptops/netbooks there. There are people who bring them for some ITM courses and for Lyryx/Wiley online homework problems that they don't understand.

hello guys, I'm graduating from seneca in december and is going to apply for the direct entry for Bcomm. I'm thinking about applying at changs for my reachbacks for the winter semester and I have a few questions that I hope someone here can answer, thx in advance:

1. I can only take the CFIN300 now, but it costs $681! I find it expensive, how much tuition are you guys paying for the day full-time courses? I wanna know if I'm paying a lot more to take night class since money's an issue for me.

2. I'm also thinking about taking it online, does anyone have any feedback about taking courses online at Ryerson? does anyone recommend taking it in class instead?

thx again!

Those course fees sound about right, as for being cheaper taking it in the daytime this depends on two things: How many courses do you plan on taking at a time? Do you have your own health insurance? If you do not have health insurance ryerson will force you to pay fees for theirs so it ends up costing you the same as 2/3 of another course. Plus Ryerson charges the same tuition for 5 courses as they do for 7. Take advantage of this if you're on a tight budget, your grades will suffer but you'll save a decent amount of money.

Did you take accounting and finance at Seneca? If so how well did you do in the finance courses there? If you did well I would say go ahead and take it online as the course is very similar. Same goes for FIN401, in fact I found this one more difficult at College lol

[xxklipse]

Yeah, they are quite lengthy. For stats, I just write down the important notes.. then edit them again when I make my crib sheet.

To be eligible for a Textbook and Technology Grant in the 2010-2011 OSAP academic year, you must:

* apply for and qualify for a Canada-Ontario Integrated Student loan; and
* be a student at a public Ontario university or college.

[~SauFung]

Did they make first year that much harder? I don't recall it being that difficult to discuss on the forums before... especially since they made ACC110. Same with ECN classes too?
Well, ACC 110 is said to be harder than 100 in general, because it's more in depth and prepares those who want to go into accounting or finance. ACC 100 provides other students knowledge of the basics. I attended Ryerson last year where the 100/110 split has just started and it wasn't hard at all. However, the final did cause marks to drop especially if you didn't study properly.

First year has been changed somewhat- MHR 405 is now replaced by MHR 523 as a required course for 2nd semester for BM students.

Speaking of changes, I heard that there will be a common GMS course (Project Management) for BM students in the 3rd year, starting in the next fall term.

I think the profs trying to make it harder since people are getting good marks
last 2 tests the MCQ posted gave a pretty good idea of what would be on the test
this time the MCQ had a lot of payback period and ARR but none of that was on the test, instead there was IRR and EVA. he's trying to throw us off track!

The online homework for ACC 100 is actually harder than ACC 110... It's really weird how they screwed up the courses and made everything that much harder. My BUS leader says that ACC was a joke 2 years ago. Now, it's still revision of grade 12 accounting + cash flow statements, but it definitely isn't a joke.

Thx for the reply! Yea, I'm in ACF in Seneca right now. I did pretty well with finance in seneca, so I guess I'll try this one online. I have 1 more question, i think i know already, I just wanna make sure:
I can use the CFIN300 as a prerequisite for FIN401(day full time) right?

[cuongp]

x_x i dont like bad debts .

just the bad debts expense part i suppose. xP & % sales?... the stupid adjustments x_x

/bad debts expense stays the same if %sales?.. changes if using % A/R right?

when doing % of sales, that gives you the adjustment that you must make to your AFDA

when doing % of receivables, that gives you the final balance, so you must do a little math to figure out the adjustment

im surprised your school even did bad debts in gr 12 accounting, i don't recall doing it, i don't even remember doing cash flows

pretty much the first midterm covered almost all of my prior knowledge of acc.

i.e. i would follow the 2008/09 course calendar/requirement because thats the year i first attended u of t


p.s, is it a smart move to take fin300 during winter semester? i don't know if i plan to take 401 during summer and i don't think it will help me at all if i wait two semesters after i take fin300, i'd also have to take 501 at the same time as they are corequisites...

Honestly, QMS102 or 204 which ever you're taking, is very easy. I found it easier than GR 12 data management because of the calculator. Just know what to input for each question and what you're solving for. You should do fine.

Well, I attended Ryerson in Fall 2009 and I remember the department sending a email about the ACC 100/110 info sometime in August.
Sometimes they don't really announce some changes, like ACC 333 for non-majors who wanted to major in accounting/finance sometime during Winter 2010. You have to check the most recent undergraduate calendar site, or rather, the next undergraduate calendar. During the Winter semester, they might release the new undergraduate calendar for the next fall/winter term. I am not 100% sure on that though.

People say that it is best to take FIN 401 right after you finish FIN 300. I am not taking 401 until next semester due to my wanted time slot being full (Although I feel I should have enrolled in the Saturday class but it's past now). Students who finished the course told me it's fine- just review certain FIN 300 stuff during the holiday break. But in your case- a possible 2 semester break before taking FIN 401 may make it seem like it might be best to take FIN 300 later. Hopefully someone here can give you some feedback about this.
But I don't think you have to necessarily take 401/501 at the same time even though they are co-requisites. Ex. In the accounting major, some people take ACC 514 and ACC 504 in separate semesters (Both are co-requisites too).
Not sure how things will work if a student proceeds to drop one of the co-requisite courses though. Can anyone confirm if you drop one, you have to drop both?

Are you having doubts about your heavy winter and spring/summer course loads?

The case for ACC514 and ACC504 is that if you drop 514 you have to drop 504, because the theory in 514 relates to the course. But if you drop 504, then you can still continue to take 514.

[~SauFung]

^ Thanks. I see that you need the 'core' course, whether you take the other co-requisite together or separately.

Thx for the reply! Yea, I'm in ACF in Seneca right now. I did pretty well with finance in seneca, so I guess I'll try this one online. I have 1 more question, i think i know already, I just wanna make sure:
I can use the CFIN300 as a prerequisite for FIN401(day full time) right?
Yes. Chang courses count as a credit.

[EdLeafs]

Alright I give up.. I'm George. Hi Fluid! How was the test?


Nice try, but I already know your that cute girl that always sits in the back

:-0:lol: Marks are up!!! Wow! Another high class average. I hope the next two will be similar in easiness too. :)

[Shimso]

Well to be honest, I've dropped 801. I've got too much on my plate.

So what you're saying is that you're the cute girl that used to sit at the back of the class? :D



btw did anyone get a rejection letter from deloitte today?

[mr_toast]

So, funny story. Long story short, I got 28/80 on the ACC522 midterm. Am I stupid, or is accounting not for me? I'm just hitting myself because of this, literally

Tax is brutal the first time you take, especially depending on the prof. A lot of people end up re-taking classes in the accounting major, including 414, 514, 522, 742, 842, 703, 706. It's mostly because students are not prepared for the workload and end up slacking off. The majority of students who end up with horrible marks because they just fall behind, or slack off, or other reasons..., and when they re-take the course they realize what they did wrong, and just make the necessary changes to correct themselves. Currently I am taking 742 and 801 again and I am finding both to be extremely easy, not only because I know some of the material, but because I know that in both classes I got a bad mark, because I skipped every class, never stayed up to date with the material and tried cramming everything in the night before. For 801, I do not remember anything, but studying for about 15 minutes before every test, is more work then the first time I took 801.

There is also nothing wrong with not graduating in 4 years. I know plenty of students, who are currently in their 5th year in the accounting program, and some of them are quite smart. Most of the students who did graduate in the 4 years took classes in the summer just to graduate on time. It's nothing big, just working on your study habits, because what worked in 1st and 2nd year will not work in 3rd and 4th year classes.

[mr_toast]

But admit it, it's demeaning and insulting. You think you'll do great, then you **** up so bad it's a complete wreck and then you need to take it again. I mean, it's so bad I considered transferring to a college today, and at the very least, switch to a different major.

Take it as a lesson (it is easier said than done) and from the posts I read before coming from you, I can tell that you are a hardworking person. However, you should also take a look at who is to blame. Because whenever I get a bad mark, usually I blame myself for it but there have been cases where the prof was at fault.
You know why we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.

[acc123]

^oh no he pull out the batman line...lol

off topic, but the next 801 test is gonna be short answer, which makes you wonder if he's gonna start lowering the class average:-0

George is just bad at teaching the material. He doesn't really explain a whole lot of calculation. You'll hear the most randomness discussion ever from him during class that has nothing to do with ACC 801.

how hard is that course? these two girls in ruas got really good marks



Are you having doubts about your heavy winter and spring/summer course loads?

i had originally planned to take fin300 next semester but i think it would make more sense if i take it in fall next year, then follow up with 401 and 501 in winter next year

what i'll probably do is take law603 in its place, and boost up my law122 mark as well

winter is going to look something like this

law122
law603
qms202
acc410
mhr523
mkt100

i think i'll do well in the first four, as they are mostly courses where you read and do problems
but what are the workloads for mhr523 and mkt100 like?

i want to add one more course to next semester, mhr405, am i crazy?

how many courses must i take during the summer to be eligible for osap? 4?

phew....so many questions

[-Skyline-]

PM me if you want FIN 502 Online Midterm with Joan Lobo.

but the question is are they hot???



Anyways 2 weeks ago, gekas while teaching 801 and went completely off topic and started rambling on about how we as professionals can be compared to hookers. He started saying how we show off our skills to employers and somehow ended with a statement along the lines of "When you go to a job interview, you dress up all nicely to impress the employer, just like a hooker dresses up and tries to appeal you."

I think you should wait and see how you stand at LAW122 first- given the results of Midterm 2 and the final. I suggest that you substitute 603 with MHR 405 in the mean time. If you are thinking of upgrading, they probably won't let you take 122/603 at the same time.

MKT100: Easy, some time management needed. You have an online textbook but it's very dry.
Honestly, 30% are free marks (10% on-going quiz (you read a section and they'll ask basic questions before proceeding), 5% metrics, 7.5% x 2 Top Gun Quizzes (Keep doing them again and again until you get 20+/25)). Two assignments- one in a group, other in partners. They are not heavily based on the text and requires a fair amount of research.

MHR 523 is a new common course in the winter term, so can't comment. Look for a sample course outline in the Chang School site.

So I didn't post this yesterday, but the ITM 102 lecture with Norrie was awesome.

Also, how do people feel they did on QMS 102 mid-terms today? I think I did OK. Guessed maybe 6 questions... My package colour was ivory.

[awaisuk]

Can someone help me please?

I am taking chang school course and the last date to drop a class is before the 8th scheduled class in GOOD Standing. Well my 8th scheduled class is on Monday and I still have not got back my test results for that course, and I will probably receive them on Monday WHEN I added the class......

So how do I drop the course without knowing my marks?? I have to go to the class to get my marks and then decide if I want to drop the course or not.

Can someone please tell me how this will work?

Thanks.

[epicdh]

Hey y'all. I'm currently in 2nd year business management.

Curious as to whether or not you guys know the answer to this prob. I'm taking CMN279 and LAW122 in the same semester. I checked the undergraduate calender and it says that I am assigned one in the 3rd semester and the other in the 4th semester. You guys think that it's okay that I'm taking both during this semester or will I have some sort of conflict with this...?

I'm not quite sure where I should go to deal with this problem too. I hope someone could maybe shed some light as to where I should go to ask about this issue? The TRS office on the first floor (or is it the 3rd floor)?

Thanks!!

Lol, that's the problem with the ACC major. "Are they hot"... Good luck trying to find anything that resembles "hotness" when you get to Advanced ACC courses. At least in Intermediate you have the FIN chicks to look at.

How many accounting grads are there from Ryerson a year? only 1 big 4 recruit?

[Shimso]

The way to apply for the position is to go on Deloitte's website and apply to the position (whether its an internship or grad position) relating to your school. Eg. there's 1 summer intern application for Ryerson, 1 summer intern application for UTSC, etc. As for how many were hired from Ryerson I really don't know.

It comes down to who you are not where you go to. They're smart enough to know who is a student they want and it doesn't really matter where you go but what you're experience is, how you command yourself, who you know, etc.

Where you go to university doesn't really matter that much; its what you do during your time there. And when you consider that for a lot of the upper accounting courses, Ryerson and UofT have some of the same textbooks and same profs, its not like there is a drastically different education that anyone is receiving.

Are you trying to say that the Big 4 hired only a single Ryerson student between them last year? This is entirely untrue as I personally know at least five Ryerson grads who were hired by one of the Big 4 last year.

The competition is tough, but it is still doable with the right attitude and the grades.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think academic probation is 2.00, and the grade equivalent of 2.00 is 63-66%.

[~SauFung]

^ If your term GPA falls below 2.00, the student is put into academic probation... just to clarify...

Also, first year can be a little rough for some students because of the transition. It's not the end of the world though- quite a handful have transitional problems and it's normal. Once you understand what's working and what isn't and then implement a plan, outlook will be better later on. Talk is easier than taking action, but definitely find out what's going on and then by next semester, things can hopefully pick up for the better.



Do they post the exam schedule sometime near the end of this week?

[geokilla]

Ya that's what has me worried. Profs, older students, etc. are all saying that average in uni is like around mid 60s so if you're in that range, you're fine. I'm like whaaaaaaa?!

For the student themselves, I guess it depends on the scenario. Just focus on self improvement along the way.
Course-wise, 60s is already satisfactory especially for later year courses.
70s+ is a good sign. The test/midterm/final/assessment was mildly easy, prof might adjust the difficulty level.
50s and lower: The test/midterm/assessment/final was bloody horrible.

My prof told me that they are posting up the exam schedule on RAMSS? this friday.
Just like I thought, thanks. Exam period is around December 6-18.




LAW122 midterm #2 was a piece of cake. Minor problem: my reasoning may seem kind of unclear on the case, oh well. I stayed up pretty late just to cram many minor details in and then realized that his tests are not overly heavy. The final on the other hand will be drastically different- all cases as people say and I am sticking to that. I should attend at least one study session with the cases. I heard that MyBusLawLab will not help you at all in the final too. The sample cases on that site are too easy anyway, so I am just sticking to the textbook for the final.

Hey guys,

I have question about the language courses at Ryerson (Spanish, French).
I want to take one of them but I'm a bit nervous about it since I don't have any knowledge at all in neither of them.
So anyone who took any of those courses can please share some thoughts?
I do wanna learn another language, but I just don't know how it is at Ryerson, lol.

Thank you so much.

[thetis]

theres introductory courses: SPN101 and FRE 101
and you dont need to have knowledge about the language to take these course

Thank you so much.
You'll take FRE/SPN101 like thetis stated (depending on which one you like), but they will still ask you to do the placement test on the website regardless. Make plenty of mistakes and leave a lot blanks in your case (since you have no knowledge) and results will automatically approve of your enrollment in FRE/SPN101. If you choose to pursue language courses later on (201 and so forth), you don't have to retake the test again. Once you gain credit in 101, you can proceed to the others.

Edit: Content wise for FRE 101, it is very, very easy to pick up as they assume you have little to no knowledge. However, the pace does pick up fast and does vary with some people. You got to follow along with the flow and practice a bit on your own somewhat. Attendance is mandatory since you get the most out of class with the interactive exercises.
Currently taking 201 and some of the grammar lessons from 101 reappears, with my prof at least.

[~SauFung]

Is FIN300 just going to get harder after the midterm?
Chapter 8 is okay, but I found stock valuation harder than bond valuation but not bad.
Chapter 9 is a joke as it is like what Chapter 5 is to Chapter 6. HOWEVER, be careful on Chapter 10- capital budgeting. Not overly difficult but time consuming because of the calculations especially on finding the individual cash flows. Final may have plenty of questions on that but they split them up into some certain parts (Ex. PV of CCA Tax savings, PV of the cash flow for one year, etc). This is the hardest chapter in the course but once you get the gist of it, you'll be good.
Chapter 12 is very basic- some basic calculator steps you learned from QMS102/204 will come back.
Chapter 13- not difficult as well but you need to spend a little more time on knowing what you are doing with the calculator. You also should focus on the security market line and the relationships too. However, in diagrams that explain these crazy long formulas, DO NOT SKIM OVER THEM. Understand the elements bit by bit as the final will ask you at least a couple of questions on it. Once you understand the formulas, you will get some easy marks.

Cumulative final, but more bulk towards Chapter 6 and forward.

Can someone explain why you do "Multiply A/R (net value – estimated amount that can’t be collected) to find the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts" when using the percentage-of-receivables method for accounting for uncollectible receivables? I thought you just multiply the A/R by the uncollected percentage to determine the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

There are two methods to determine the allowance for doubtful account. One is the income statement method, also known as the percentage of sales. The A/R method is also known as the Balance Sheet method.

I believe the balance sheet method has you calculating the balancing number while the income statement method is just a simple entry.

I could be wrong, as I took the class over 2 years ago, but I think you are just getting confused over the two methods used.

Other jobs. Not every accountant grad at Ryerson's goal is to reach a big four firm. Many realize after going through the major just how hard it is to get into a big four firm. Many students end up doing there CA through smaller firms, or other ways. I believe TD has a CA recruiting program as well. Furthermore, many students re-evaluate themselves and end up switching to CMA or CGA designations.

Very few students from Ryerson make it to the big four, and we usually joke among ourselves that it is impossible to get in from Ryerson unless you have a ridiculous resume. That's not to say that they are unsuccessful. Do not get the impression that to have a successful job you have to be in the big four.

Do you know the employment rate of Accounting majors in Ryerson after they graduate?

This is how we're taught now, which gets me confused to the point I feel like I'm failing accounting when I used to do so well :facepalm:

Percentage of Receivables (Balance Sheet method)
Find the correct A/R that is to be multiplied in order to determine the amount that cannot be collected. So to find this A/R amount, subtract the A/R by estimated amount that cannot be collected.

XXX estimates $71 500 of it's ending A/R of $1,194,000 won't be collected. So that means A/R is $1,122,500. Multiply this amount by the percentage that won't be collected to determine the Allowance for Doubtful/Uncollectible Accounts.

Bad debt expense = End allowance for uncollectible accounts - Opening allowance for uncollectible accounts + A/R written off

Percentage of Credit-Sales (Income Statement method)
Bad Debt Expense = Credit Sales X Percentage that won't be collected

Allowance for uncollectible accounts = Old Allowance for uncollectible accounts - A/R written off + Bad debt Expense

[mich84]

For percent of receivables:

XXX has A/R of 1,194,000. They estimate 71,500 won't be collected. So to the NRV is 1,122,000. The 71,500 is the balance in the AFDA after you do the bad debt expense adjustment. You don't need to minus the uncollectible amounts before multiplying anything by A/R. I'm assuming if we get a question on this it will involve an aging schedule and we won't be given the actual dollar estimate, just percentages.


Hope this is right - or else I should get back to studying ACC instead of doing the ITM essay lol.

% in the the A/R method is about 6% (71500/1194000*100)

you need to realize that when you do it by the A/R method, it gives you the ending balance in the AFDA, where as the % of credit sales gives you the actual adjustment

so for the A/R method, after you calculate how much your ending AFDA balance should be, look at your current AFDA balance and make the appropriate adjustment

you'll find it easier if you do it on t-accounts

I think you should go back to studying.. I used Lyryx and textbook to write that example. If I was using the A/R method and tried to just multiply the A/R by the percentage, the answer on Lyryx was wrong. Every time. Unless I'm not understanding what you're trying to say...


you need to realize that when you do it by the A/R method, it gives you the ending balance in the AFDA, where as the % of credit sales gives you the actual adjustment

Yea I understand that, but why do you have to do (Ending A/R - A/R written off) X % instead of just Ending A/R X %? Or is this supposed to answer my question?


so for the A/R method, after you calculate how much your ending AFDA balance should be, look at your current AFDA balance and make the appropriate adjustment

Can you give an example using T-accounts and the left-to-right kinda method like what you do on Lyryx and stuff?

those type of questions assume that you still have to write off bad debt even after you find out your ending A/R balance, so you're just calculating the new ending A/R when you write off bad debt



Can you give an example using T-accounts and the left-to-right kinda method like what you do on Lyryx and stuff?

it's the end of the year, your Ending A/R balance is $1 000 000, you expect to not receive 2% of your A/R

the current balance in your AFDA is $10 000(credit)

your AFDA should be $20 000 ($1 000 000 * .02), you therefore, need to credit on $10 000 (which also means you only expense $10 000)

J.E would look something like this

Bad Debt Expense.................$10 000
AFDA.............................................. ..$10 000

let's assume that there was actually a debit balance of $10 000 in your AFDA, at year-end, you need it to be $20 000 ($1 000 000 * .02)

your J.E is going to look like this

Bad Debt Expense...................$30 000
AFDA.............................................$ 30 000

you have to expense $30 000 this time to bring your AFDA balance to $20 000 (credit)

ahhh yes, this question, damn lyryx!

[Accumulated Depreciation 2009] + [Depreciation Expense 2010]

2. Find out the Accumulated Depreciation on Equipment sold
[Expected Accumulated Depreciation 2010] - [Actual Depreciation 2010]

3. Find out Cost of original equipment
[Balance at 2009] -[Balance at 2010] + [Cash paid for New Equipment]

Gain: Proceeds > NBV. Credit Gain on Disposal.
Loss: Vice versa- Proceeds < NBV. Debit Loss on Disposal.

All in the event of a disposal.

[geokilla]

those type of questions assume that you still have to write off bad debt even after you find out your ending A/R balance, so you're just calculating the new ending A/R when you write off bad debt

But the write off bad debt are estimates, just like when you calculate allowance for doubtful accounts. Take a look at Lyryx Lab 7 Question 4 and part a is basically what I'm having trouble with, for calculating the AFDA in percentage-of-credit sales method, and bad debt expense in percentage-of-receivables. The example that you gave, I understand that fine now. Thanks for that.

I need to study that depreciation thing too. So confused on that T_T

Difference between direct write-off & write-offs?

we can only recover write-offs? but not direct ones?

iknow direct = DR Baddebts, CR A/R
writeoff = DR AFDA, CR A/R

[~SauFung]

Difference between direct write-off & write-offs?

iknow direct = DR Baddebts, CR A/R
writeoff = DR AFDA, CR A/R
Either can be recovered. Reinstate the entry first: Dr. A/R Cr. AFDA. Once the receivable is collected, Dr. Cash and Cr. A/R. Refer to your textbook and lecture notes, they should have it there.

[geokilla]

SauFung, is that Chun Li?

For Cash Flow Statements, if I'm given only Revenue and Expenses to calculate Net Income, why do I have to subtract Depreciation Expense from Net Income as well? Depreciation expense is going to get subtracted again as I continue working along the Operating Activities according to Lyryx.

If I sold an equipment and then bought another equipment, I don't understand why I have to do the following as outlined in Lyryx. Or is there no explanation?


Step (1) Figure out the expected accumulated depreciation on the property, plant and equipment at the end of 2010 (if there was no sale)
[Expected accumulated depreciation] = [Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2009] + [Depreciation expense for 2010]

Step (2) Figure out the Accumulated depreciation on the property, plant and equipment that was sold.
[Accum. depre. on property, plant and equipment sold] = [Expected accumulated depreciation] - [Actual accumulated depreciation at Dec. 31, 2010]

Step (3) Figure out the original cost of the property, plant and equipment that was sold.
[Original cost of property, plant and equipment sold]

Step (4) Figure out the book value of the property, plant and equipment that was sold.
[Book value of property, plant and equipment sold] = [Original cost of property, plant and equipment sold] - [Accum. depreciation on the property, plant and equipment sold

(5) Calculate the Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment.
[Gain] = [Cash received for property, plant and equipment] - [Book value of property, plant and equipment sold]

Then after doing all this, I have to do the cash used/received from sale/purchase of equipment again in the investing activities?! I'm so confused.

Yea I'm deciding to skip stats halfway and asking Keith Whelan for help tomorrow...

[ca2pro1]

I would actually say that there are other CA entry-level jobs that are paying better than the BIG 4 salary. If you calculate the amount of hours you will actually spend doing work for the BIG 4 and divide that by the Gross Pay you negotiate, you may very well be earning on a per-hour basis peanuts compared to someone in the mid or small sized firm or gov't CA position. However, one benefit is to say you work for a prestigious firm. I have the fortune of getting into Deloitte once I graduate.

Yeah, that's her. A favorite of mine, don't really play games that much these days.

Cash Flow Statements: you have to subtract the depreciation expense as well because it's one of the expenses. For the second sentence, if you're doing the net income calculation under indirect method, don't you mean why depreciation expense is going to be added back to that NI to find the cash from operating activities? No cash flow pattern really occurs.

Did you read the chapter/lecture notes on PPE? It should explain some.
1. You got to find the full figure to find the actual accumulated depreciation for step 2, read the following step for why.
2. You need the full annual figure for accumulated depreciation in order to properly determine how much the accumulated depreciation amounted to around the time of disposal, hence the need to subtract the actual accumulated depreciation.
3. Need that to find the original cost for step 4. See the formula cuongp posted.
4. Find the net value to see how much the PPE is actually worth at time of sale, net of all depreciation. Recall that depreciation is to allocate the cost of the asset as an expense over its useful life.
5. To find out how much the business gained/lost on the disposal.

Then after doing all this, I have to do the cash used/received from sale/purchase of equipment again in the investing activities?! I'm so confused.
That's because they are transactions relating to the "acquisitions and disposals of long-term assets."

Nope, Lyryx says to subtract depreciation expense. Example:


Revenue - $612,600, Expenses - $580,000, Depreciation Expense - $9,600

[B]Operating Activities[B]
Net Income (Revenue - Expenses - Depreciation Expenses)...................... $23,000
Depreciation Expense........................................... ............................ ($ 9,600)
*continue to do operating activities)

After re-reading it, I think it might be because the headings in Lyryx are "Revenues (including gains)" and "Other expenses (including losses).



Did you read the chapter/lecture notes on PPE? It should explain some.

Been reading every single chapter we've had to read, and nope haven't seen how why that must be done. I either missed it, or it's not there. I think it's the latter since I'm browsing and half-reading the chapters again.

And according to Lyryx, cuongp missed step 4 where you have to determine the book value of the PPE sold.

[thetis]

Depreciation expense is going to get subtracted again as I continue working along the Operating Activities according to Lyryx.

what you mean?

you only need to subtract depreciation expense only 1 time and thats it
net income = revenues - all expense - depreciation expense

[geokilla]

what you mean?

you only need to subtract depreciation expense only 1 time and thats it
net income = revenues - all expense - depreciation expense

Then you subtract it again in Lyryx. Yea I dunno why either... It should only be used once =.=

I remember when I did the lab, I used Depreciation Expense only once in Operating Activities and it marked it wrong. It was one of the reasons why I took like 10 tries to get perfect.

[~SauFung]

Nope, Lyryx says to subtract depreciation expense. Example:

Now that I look back, I remember doing that lab last year although I don't really remember why (Don't have a printout of the question). Did the question indicate any hints of an outflow? Normally, depreciation will be added back to NI (R - E - D) because there isn't any cash outflow for cash flow statement.

EDIT: knowing how Lyryx just uses questions from the text, would you mind pasting the question here or PMing me? I used an older edition of the 110 text but I think some questions should be same except for the numbers.

[thetis]

can you post that question?
i also did it last year and i dont think i have seen this kind of problem requires you to subtract depreciation 2 times in operating activity yet

:facepalm::facepalm: You add depreciation expense instead of subtracting it AFTER calculating net income. I guess that changes everything I was posting earlier.... I think I need to finish this up quick and study like crazy tomorrow :facepalm::facepalm:

you have to add it back to calculate operating cash flow, because no cash is used although its expense ( iirc this will be explained in week 12 or 13)
i will take a look at ur question tmr, but i think by that time, saufung might have already answered it

Yea your explanation is the same as SauFung. Which imo is stupid, but I guess that's accounting for you. NI (R - E - DE) + DE after as you continue plugging along.

That's why I was asking you that earlier in regards to indirect method but no worries, that misunderstanding is already cleared up so...

I remember falling for that depreciation adjustment in that lab as well. I think this may be an 'exception' but it certainly is an odd question. I don't even remember what my prof said about it, if there were any underlying assumptions or if it is an error, so not much luck here unfortunately. Ask your prof- I don't see potential assumptions other than it relates to the sale of equipment in a way. Tired at this point. But still stick to the general rule for the midterm and final. You normally have to add depreciation back for CFO because it's not an outflow like said earlier. You only need that adjustment for cash flow statements because it only takes in/outflows into account.

[Digital_Domain]

Anyone else find Lyryx to have some of the most screwed up errors? I don't mean just as in process, but as in actual mathematical errors. One of my my labs this week I spent close to an hour trying to figure out how they got some number. I tried everything I could think of, rounding, not rounding, sigfig's.... I could not, for the life of me, get their answer. It was like 0.72*1700000 or something and I would have ended up with an answer ending in 702 or 695 depending on rounding. What did Lyryx get? 659 or some fck'd number like that. This was working out the answer using their math & numbers. I concluded my lab with a WTF. I wish I would have taken a screen shot now.

[cuongp]

And according to Lyryx, cuongp missed step 4 where you have to determine the book value of the PPE sold.

Step 3 - Step 2 = NRV

[Dystopia]

At 4:45 pm, Thursday, October 28, the device that prioritizes network traffic coming in to Ryerson from the Internet failed and could not be repaired. Since that time peer-to-peer and file downloading traffic has consumed a larger-than-normal amount of Ryerson's Internet bandwidth. As a result some people attempting to access Internet sites have experienced delays and time-outs.

A replacement traffic shaping unit was received on Monday, November 1 but the vendor did not supply a system with the same configuration as the previous unit. CCS network staff are working to setup the new unit but do not expect it will be shaping all network traffic before Friday, November 12.

In the mean time, if you use peer-to-peer or file downloading services while on campus, please consider reducing, or even eliminating, using them until after November 12. Reduced usage will help reduce the impact of the current problem on other people using the Internet on campus.
I was wondering why I was down-ing a TV show off Megaupload at 2.5MBs/sec, no traffic shaping.
Gonna stop doing that now so everyone else can access the internet.
Sorry guys!:confused:

Just checked my accounting stuff with the prof. Lyryx was having errors and bad wordings which leads to the wrong thing. And NI = Revenue - Expenses. NO DEPRECIATION EXPENSE SHOULD BE INVOLVED.

I stressed out something I knew on last night :facepalm:

are you sure that what your prof said? :confused:

for example, in the income statement:
Net sales revenue
- – Cost of goods sold
= Gross profit
- – Selling and admin expenses
- – Depreciation
= EBIT
- – Interest expense
= EBT
- – Tax expense
= Net income

you have sales revenue, costs, expenses (S&A, interest and tax) and depreciation, you have to subtract everything to in order to get net income :confused:

[~SauFung]

^ Yeah, you should still take depreciation into consideration for calculating NI, because NI is usually calculated under ACCRUAL basis of accounting. Under cash flow statements, CASH basis of accounting is followed so you add depreciation back because no actual cash in/outflow occurred WHILE determining CFO. I was tired last night and I misinterpreted your screenshot and some sentences seem to contradict what I said earlier.

i got killed by accounting midterm. = =

I don't think I did too bad. Went over the stuff I posted here last night with Keith Whelan. Case study was easier than I thought, though some parts in the mid-term was stupid or didn't make sense. My cash flow didn't work well either...

I think I got a 70.... If it's below that, I might have to drop since I wanna major in accounting...

the computers & seniors was so random. guessed. i forgot my dates for journal entries! realized when they said pens down. -__-
kinda messed up case too :confused:
my cash flow didnt balance. i also ran out of space. i hate it when they dont give you enough room. -.-

holy fuk! i had not realized that i forgot the dates to my j.e until now...fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

that's like 2 marks over stupid *****

got my cash flow to workout at least, for the seniors question i recognized the full revenue of the computers in sept and recognized the service revenue over the 3 months with the last month recognizing the remainder

you do know that you can write on the back of your exam right?

Is ACC 110 really that much harder now or is it the time restraints? Content wise, it appears to be the same as before except with IFRS material added. Well, last year we only had Lyryx, a quiz, 1 midterm and 1 final that quite a number of students stumbled over vs. 2 midterms, lyryx, final and whatnot...

i believe they might have made it a little harder, we get tested in theory for gaap and ifrs, we were just tested on cash flows and case study in this midterm
i was told that last year, acc students werent tested on cash flows and you had a case study only in your final

time is fine, i finished the midterm with ~15 minutes to spare, went over it and changed some answers, still pissed about the j.e dates though...
we were put into the room with acc100 again, and almost all of them left early, a few odd birds here and there but almost none of acc110 students left early

False. We ACC 110 students last year had a cash flow statement to do along with the case. Other questions were like the HW questions- inventory journal entries, what's expensed or capitalized, liability journal entries, etc. There was MC as well but trust me, I found them a little frustrating to do.

guess its the same than

what would the journal entry look like if you sold a piece of equipment?

debit
cash
loss
accumulated depreciation

credit
equipment
gain on sale

It's correct, but credit Gain on Sale if Proceeds > NBV (Cost - Acc Depr). Vice Versa for Loss on Sale if Proceeds < NBV.


Glad to see that the schedule appointments for Winter 2011 are set at a much later time (Except for 4th years, unfortunately). No need to wake up ridiculously early anymore. :) I do hope they keep their word and hopefully little to no lags.

Yea that was just plain stupid. I didn't know what to do for that even AFTER asking Cheryl Dyson.

And there were dates for journal entries? I left em blank...

For the cash flow, it balances. My friend got it to balance, but I think he did it wrong. And I had enough room. I left out all the headings though like "Total Operating Activities" "Investing Activities" etc. I erased it 3 times >.>

Writing on the back of the exam is scrap I believe, so they don't look at it.

Accounting is definitely a lot harder. I remember my grade 11 and 12 accounting teacher who always said 1st year accounting is a breeze, and that's from the word of mouth from students who go to Loo (AFM-PA), Ryerson, York, etc. It's like Ryerson accepted too many 1st years now they're kicking people out, which in a way I believe is true. Eric Kam was saying how some profs fail students on purpose and bell curve em (what is it again?) so only a certain amount can get certain marks.

ahhaa i put the headings and everything.. continued onto the front page with the space.. but it was just the last 3 items.. increase in cash, beginning balance & end.

I already know a few people who are gonna transfer out & some to york. first midterm was somewhat a breeze.. second midterm... was just :facepalm: i heard they accepted 1500 students for bm this year? not sure.. maybe more/less

It's true though- first year accounting is very introductory, later years get worse. 110/410 don't weed out anyone that much. 414/514 are the real weeding out courses as they truly test students' foundation on accounting. I won't get into detail since I don't want to ruin anyone's hopes of getting into the major- just build on your foundation now.

It does look like Ryerson is trying to up their standards, aside from IFRS standards being implemented that makes accounting more challenging now. I have heard things about Ryerson accepting too many first years too. Although the content is not difficult in first year, Ryerson doesn't take slackers all that lightly.
Bell curve- Google that.

It is uncertain if either of them will teach 110 in the winter at Chang school, but look for Else Grech or Cheryl Dyson. They teach the concepts well in an understandable manner, are available for help in office hours and are fair in their assessments.

Not sure about Keith Whelan but I heard he's okay and a very generous marker.

Ditto. Cheryl teaches my lecture and Keithes my Breakout. Imo they're very good profs and generous. Cheryl makes things simpler while Keith is a little harder but he provides examples in his teachings and everything. You can't go wrong with both profs.

RFID, also known as radio frequency identification, uses radio waves to automatically identify objects and transmit this information to an IT system.

"uses radio waves to automatically identify objects and transmit this information to an IT system" is from the textbook

does anyone in tavares' qms 102 class know how to do the last 3 questions on module 6, he didnt go over those kinds of questions in my lecture. He was going to but we didnt have enough time :(

for questions 4 and 5, do the calculations for each Country and Tire Designs separately, and then compare the expected values , see which has the highest E(x)

for question 6
Revenue = E(x) x $12 edit : <-- E(x) obtained from working out the table
expenses = $5 x # of tires (in this question that would be either 10 or 11)
profit = revnue - expense

i hate university, i wish i didnt go and took a year off........... high school was enough for me and i wanted time for myself..............

I am sure you will go on probation if you happen to flunk some courses. Check Ryerson's probation/required to withdraw policy for details. You'll need to repeat the failed courses again but with a limited load if you're on probation (Assuming CGPA was between 1 to 1.99.) Required to Withdraw is when the CGPA is <1.00.

I am sure you can proceed to ECN 204 without 104, in your example. However, courses like ACC 100, you need to pass before proceeding to 406 and such.

Take courses during the spring/summer to catch up but HOWEVER this severely depends on what your standing will be as there are different circumstances. FYI, the final day to drop is November 12th.

Each executive summary of mine is close to 500 words and I think one is close to 600, but the thing is, is that for each topic there are broad questions which make answers to be thorough and somewhat long. I'm not complaining, takes less than 20 minutes to hit 500 words or more...

About the exam schedule, is anyone in ITM102 section 031? The exam is on December 13th and it says it starts at 9AM, but on the front page of the exam scheduling dates there are no other exam schedules that start at this time; closest time on this date is 8AM.

Found it

I strongly suggest that you do not use wikipedia as a source and definitely do not cite it in your report.
Reason being wikipedia is not considered a reliable source in general because anyone is able to edit the material.
Your professor will definitely comment on it, if he/she saw you using wikipedia as a source. You might even lose marks because the citation would not count as a valid citation.

For the finance calculators, does anyone remember how to solve for the standard deviation of a weighted portfolio without typing it out on the calculator or using the program solver?

Its the (Weight 1 X Return 1) + (Weight 2 X Return 2) + (2.....Correl1,2 X StDev 1 X StDev 2) formula. I could swear there was a way to quickly do it using lists and the 2-var settings....

Either Dr. Chua is still updating the marks, or there's some special way to calculate it, otherwise I got 49 on the mid-term. Seems impossible.... Definitely going to go over it with her.

49 ain't possible. 16/32 is 50%. 15/32 is 47%. How the hell is that 49?

It had 3-4 tricky questions max that really required you to think. rest were apply formula and basic concept questions. if i remember correctly, a couple questions were continuations of the previous answer so if u got it one wrong you were ****ed. probably why alot of people did so bad.

it was all mc 1 mark each.

I guess it depends on what the question asks, if the question is heavily dependent on what you answered in the previous question then yeah.
In QMS 202, there will be more questions that will be based on how you interpret the given information. But you may be getting partial marks if it was short answer (Ex. Maybe the hypothesis was supposed to be rejected but you just chose the wrong method of testing or inserted the wrong numbers in your calculator).

For the finance calculators, does anyone remember how to solve for the standard deviation of a weighted portfolio without typing it out on the calculator or using the program solver?

Its the (Weight 1 X Return 1) + (Weight 2 X Return 2) + (2.....Correl1,2 X StDev 1 X StDev 2) formula. I could swear there was a way to quickly do it using lists and the 2-var settings....

please stop saying attend or attendance,attendance is not mandatory like it is for BUS 100. If your like me then you too probably missed a few weeks of classes. I hate waking up at 6am. Any ways I hope the prof isn't trying to pull a fast one and the poster is just misinformed.

I've never had a prof recommend those mock exams and some recommend ignoring them because they're by TAs and might cover slightly different material or have a different level of difficulty.

Tax and management accounting is pretty interesting but financial accounting makes me want to rip my eyes out some times after reading a chapter. I guess you are going to have to do a lot of reworking to your winter schedule since your course intentions must not resemble anything you are actually going to take.

Ok after asking around, it seems that the mark we're getting could be the amount of multiple choice questions that we got right. If it matches up with the previous mid-term mark.

Mine's.... wtf?

i think its suppose to indicate how many you got correct.. /32.

but i hate how its like total possible points 100. -__- & the given is a %.

my additional 5% for quiz 1 changed back to a 70. T_T

how did the 801 test go today?

[geokilla]

QMS has made an announcement. GOGOGO!

From the way they put it, it seems that what we see is what we got. Meaning the majority of the class failed. Big time.

[~SauFung]

Not to sound nosy, but wow, was the QMS midterm that awful? It should be straight from the textbook questions and you guys have crib sheets too.

[hangage]

Nah, whoever is overseeing the marks/announcements on blackboard are ****ing ********. I'm 100% sure the mark on bb right now is the mark we got out of 32. If not I'm going to kill someone.

[geokilla]

Not to sound nosy, but wow, was the QMS midterm that awful? It was all straight from the homework and you guys have crib sheets too.

I have a HUGE feeling that they're screwing up with the marks inputting and stuff. Everyone I spoke with so far, everyone got under 30. Test is outta 32. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Wtf is going on?

Here's the announcement. From the announcement, it sounds like what we see is what we get, meaning hte majority failed.


The marks posted on BB for quiz 1 and test are in percentage.
It is calculated as %= (number of correct)/(Total of questions) * 100
For example: If you have 16 corrects, then you will have (16/33)*100= 48.50%

Right now, I've only have one person tell me they got a mark above 30 with these revised marks.

[~SauFung]

It makes sense to have it made out of 32 marks- whoever is updating your marks is probably in the process of posting your percentages but yes it can be very misleading in that case.

[geokilla]

It's outta 33, not 32. My bad. But either way, still seems that the majority of people failed. I found it easy with my 2 hours worth of studying, cheat sheet, learning how to use the Ti-83 and stuff. I even double checked my answers before I left half an hour early. Only stuff I didn't check was the calculator stuff that you have to punch in cus the answers were the same.

[cuongp]

what do you guys think about this, i'm going to do my upper liberals at utsc and get them transferred to ryerson, this way i'll get my credits and marks aren't counted towards gpa
the reason why i'm doing this is because i suck at writing essays, and it showed when i got my midterm mark back for my phl709 class
i'm going to set a meeting with the department head and talk to him/her about it and get a LoP

moving on, i'm setting up my courses for next semester and summer as well, i've mentioned before that I'll be doing 7 courses, here's what it looks like so far

mhr523
mkt100
acc410
qms202
fin300
gms200
law603

i got a transfer credit for gms200 but apparently it's being counted towards my gpa, i only got a b- when i took it and didn't really try in that course so i'm going to actually try this time
i'm taking fin300 this semester (fin401 fin501) in the summer because i don't want to have to do them with acc414 or 514 next year

summer
fin401
fin501
psy504
psy606
law122 (maybe)

[~SauFung]

7 courses = red flag warning. The group project oriented courses (MKT, GMS, MHR) can have a major toll with such a full load. Not that the content is challenging but because of time commitment. And you might have to be careful with LAW 603 as well- much tougher than 122 I hear.

ACC 410 and FIN 300 aren't bad, but I think you will place more emphasis on FIN 300.

Your summer courses- depends on duration I guess and if it is offered...

luckily i'll have the option to drop 2 courses if i start to feel that i cannot do it
i know at least one other hardworking student in gms200 luckily

i have a buddy in law603 right now and he says its easy, apparently they only do 3 chapters for each midterm

i read over one of the fin300 midterm and was able to do at least 1/3 of the questions, took calculus at utsc and those were the type of questions that we had, some of the people i spoke with did really well in that course (4.33) so hopefully i can do that same lol

[cuongp]

this is the first time they're doing the 5 profs, those things in class are not attendance sheets, they're those "quizzes", obviously if you're not in class, you don't get the mark unless a friend puts your name/student number down

ITM 102 was very different last year as there were many lecture/lab combinations- not like a 2 hr class where 300+ students were squeezed into TRS 1-067. Small class sizes with maybe ~100 or so students only in small classrooms. Attendance wasn't a component of our mark nor was it mandatory but my prof did take attendance. We never had those pop quizzes either.

ACC 521's mostly a textbook/powerpoint course, but it helps to go to class. All the formulas you'd need are given to you on exams. There's one big group project, a midterm, and a final. It's not too bad

Finance courses are a hundred times easier than Accounting. This one's like ACC 521: it's a textbook course

Nah breakdown varies with profs. Mine has a mix of short answer/MC/fill in the blanks but his tests are very easy as there is only 1 case question that is quite straightforward and it's open book too so you can still check your answers. Some profs follow similar format maybe with 1+ cases in the MC or whatever. I heard of some profs having all MC cases in their midterm. But the final will be MC cases.

Accounting I can deal with easily. I lost a good 10+ marks by not reading the question properly on the first mid-term. If I read it properly, I won't have put myself in such a bad position.

Stats... I need 90% on the final to get 70% so it won't drop my CGPA. Even if I get 80% there's a chance my CGPA would get dragged down to just the point where I won't make the requirement for accounting major.

Depends on the duration, you can take 6 courses max over the course of 3 months overall.
There are some different terms- each spring or summer term is 1.5 months long and can be intensive as it is 2x classes per week. Then there is the 3 month long spring-and-summer term, usually for online courses and classes where you meet up on campus once a week.

PS: If you take ACC 110 in the summer, that means you will have to delay ACC 410 even further as well. If you are going to retake it, I suggest you to take ACC 110 in the winter again and leave ACC 410 in the short spring or summer term (This is usually only available in the 1.5 month term unless it's online).

Are you unconfident to the point you feel that the final is going to bring you down big time? From experience, final is harder and while you still need a B- average to get into accounting you might still have a chance. With Lyryx and other assessments, what is your standing approximately? But all the power to you as the deadline to drop is ticking.

EDIT: About QMS 102, I would say the same thing.

at least with QMS, you can redo it, whereas ACC110, ICAO won't allow you do to redo it if you take upper year accounting courses, assuming that you're heading into the CA stream

answer this!

[~SauFung]

at least with QMS, you can redo it, whereas ACC110, ICAO won't allow you do to redo it if you take upper year accounting courses, assuming that you're heading into the CA stream
I am sure the website says that you can't redo any introductory course AFTER you take intermediate and advanced accounting courses:

Courses in Introductory Financial Accounting will not be accepted for Institute credit if their completion follows that of intermediate or advanced financial accounting courses.

Yea I just need like one or two courses at the moment. Who knows what Winter 2011 will bring...

So the biggest problem lies with QMS 102 at the moment.
Just to clarify about the accounting major requirements over some certain courses:

Students planning to enter the Accounting Major must obtain a grade of at least 2.67 (B-) in each of ACC 110, ACC 410 (or ACC 100, ACC 406, and ACC 333); and a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.67 (B-) in the following courses: ACC 110, ACC 410 (or ACC 100, ACC 406, and ACC 333), GMS 200, QMS 102, and QMS 202.

Depends on the duration, you can take 6 courses max over the course of 3 months overall.
There are some different terms- each spring or summer term is 1.5 months long and can be intensive as it is 2x classes per week. Then there is the 3 month long spring-and-summer term, usually for online courses and classes where you meet up on campus once a week.

PS: If you take ACC 110 in the summer, that means you will have to delay ACC 410 even further as well. If you are going to retake it, I suggest you to take ACC 110 in the winter again and leave ACC 410 in the short spring or summer term (This is usually only available in the 1.5 month term unless it's online).

Are you unconfident to the point you feel that the final is going to bring you down big time? From experience, final is harder and while you still need a B- average to get into accounting you might still have a chance. With Lyryx and other assessments, what is your standing approximately? But all the power to you as the deadline to drop is ticking.

EDIT: About QMS 102, I would say the same thing.

Really? What about QMS? Can I take 202 and then go back to 102 in the spring/summer? Because if I take accounting in Spring/Summer, I won't even attend class for the majority of the lectures, unless there's a attendance mark.

Right now, my QMS is at 21% out of of 35%. Assuming I get 60% on next week's test, and 3% outta 5% on the homework, I'll need 87% in order to get 70% overall so it won't drag down my CGPA.

As for ACC 110, I got 36.9% outta 50%. This means I need to get 70% on final in order to make the CGPA requirement for accounting major.

Edit: Yep. SauFung pretty much got it.


at least with QMS, you can redo it, whereas ACC110, ICAO won't allow you do to redo it if you take upper year accounting courses, assuming that you're heading into the CA stream

I don't understand... This means I have to take ACC 110 before ACC 410 doesn't it?


is this with cheryl dyson? I have the 2nd midterm coming up for chap 4,5,6. If you had the same what was on the midterm?!!!

Everything that we learned in chapter 4-6 was on it. Case study was given, so you just analyze it. I'm sure you exam will be different from ours. Good luck.

If you pass QMS 102, you will be allowed to take 202 and you can upgrade in the spring/summer term.
EDIT: You can still take ACC 410 once you pass 110. What the ICAO site says that once you take later year accounting courses, you cannot go back and upgrade ACC 110/410 marks.

[Kimberleyc]

hey, so i have a question. if i don't make the gpa requirement for 110 i heard you can take 410 before redoing 110 in the summer but CA doesn't recognize it. so can i retake 110 in the 2nd semester and 410 in the spring? will that be recognized? lemme know asap! thanks

[geokilla]

But if I drop QMS 102 now, I can't take 202 next sem right? And if I do stay in QMS 102 but have to retake it in Spring/Summer, the old mark would only get replaced by the new mark and nothing else correct? I understand that if I do worse than the first time, the new mark is still recorded as is.

Oh so even if I stay in ACC 110 now, and do ACC 410, I can still go and fix ACC 110/410 in Spring/Summer if required correct? Like fix em up ASAP before I start doing the 2nd semester ACC courses?

What would you do if you were in my position SauFung?

And about QMS homework, did anyone know how to calculate the standard deviation of probability that was required in Module 7 of the homework? I didn't understand it >.<

Yeah you can't proceed to 202 without 102. If you really want to drop QMS 102 that badly, then retake it again in the winter and if you really want to catch up so you'll be on schedule the following year, take it in the spring or summer term. However, in your previous post, you stated that you might not even most attend classes- why?
Correct on the old mark getting replaced by a new mark regardless.
As long as you pass 110, you will go into 410 and still upgrade in the spring/summer in case 110 or 410 marks do not meet requirements for the ACC major.
No, you still pursue your second semester courses. Leave the upgrading stuff all in the spring/summer term.

If I was in your position? It depends on how confused I am in the class but I would retake ACC 110/QMS 102 if I walk out with grades <2.67 (B-). I would redo them and keep in mind that you'll have to pay extra for the classes as well. This is all up to you in the end, best of luck in your decision. Just curious, have you thought about the situation before you got your second ACC midterm and QMS midterm results before? Thought of talking to your profs?

[xxklipse]

And about QMS homework, did anyone know how to calculate the standard deviation of probability that was required in Module 7 of the homework? I didn't understand it >.<

i went to this girl majoring in stats. she said you basically...

standard deviation = root (variance)

variance = sample*(probability)*(1-probability)



hope i typed it right.. n_n; i fail at explaining things.

I won't attend ACC 110 lectures much cus the stuff they would be teaching is just the same as up to where I currently am atm. Plus I know what I'm doing in ACC 110. I'm losing marks due to not reading the question properly on the first mid-term and 2nd mid-term, not sure where I lost the marks yet. For QMS, I'd attend EVERY single class I can.

Yea that's what I meant. Fix everything in the upcoming spring/summer if required before second semester courses begin so I won't get into trouble with the ICAO.

Yea ACC 110 and QMS 102 isn't really that confusing imo. There are some stuff that I don't understand, but nothing that the lecture slides won't solve. Worse comes to worse, go to tutoring centre and ask for help, but sometimes they don't really help well... As for paying extra, I don't think that'll be a problem....

My friend pointed out that I might as well finish QMS 102 and/or ACC 110 now, and retake it in Winter 2011 if required so while some of the stuff is still fresh in my head. THEN do QMS 102/ACC 410 in spring/summer. That's actually a pretty good strategy too, but the thing is that I'd be wasting time studying for those courses as well, especially for QMS where there's no way I can get almost 90% on final in order to finish the course with a 70%.

Oooh. Thanks.

[xxklipse]

What's variance? >.<

hmm maybe not variance.. i think it was called variation? i dont remember.. but its the sx^2 kind of thing..

told you im not good at explaining..

[xxklipse]

I think I'll just stick with the courses I have now.. retake if anything I guess. I'm doing okay for ACC110. Went to the tutoring center today~


Will next semester courses be easier?


ECN 204 Introductory Macroeconomics
GMS 200 Introduction to Global Management
MHR 523 Human Resources Management
MKT 100 Principles of Marketing
QMS 202 Business Statistics II
ACC 410 Management Accounting


well I know QMS202 & ACC410 will need some work. xD

I can't wait til next semester, fresh start! Hopefully I will be able to get rid of my bad habits.. at least temporarily.

On the bold part: you must mean SECOND YEAR ACCOUNTING courses in regards to ICAO requirements.
You should still attend class since the prof may structure tests somewhat differently and class in the summer may be different from regular fall/winter daytime scheduling. Just a FYI.
Your friend's advice: that's what I was saying, he/she is correct especially on the stuff being fresh on your head. You can now see what worked and what didn't fare well in the fall semester attempts.
PS: To try to do well QMS, do the end of the chapter/assigned textbook questions and reread the text/slides as well with this online homework you guys have now.

ECN 204: Easier than 104 imo, more calculations involved but are very, very easy.
GMS 200: Dead easy. If you took Gr. 12 BOH4M0 Leadership, this course will be a joke because Ryerson uses the same book but just different edition. Midterm and final are based on whether you read the chapters. However, allocate more time on the Globus strategy game. Not so hard but hopefully you can get cooperative group members as the groups are all randomized as the report will play a good chunk of your mark.
MHR 523: New this year, replaced another MHR course last year.
MKT 100: Not hard either arguably the course with the most work (Not taking MHR into account as it is new). You have an online textbook and some of the stuff are free marks to be honest. Group/partner assignments are not heavily based on the text so some bit of research involved. Easy midterm (depends on your prof), final is okay. Some say the midterm/final is harder than you think but not something out of the blue.
QMS 202: Not much harder than 102 but the major focus is the normal distribution and you'll be introduced to hypothesis testings. Keep up with the online homework and textbook questions and understand the flow charts, you'll do fine in the course.
ACC 410: Easier than 110, trust me. If you like problem solving, you won't mind despite its dry content. Practice, keep up with the assigned weekly work and you'll do fine in the midterm and final. Look for Else Grech if possible.

Speaking of bad habits, I really need to step up my game too.

Woops. My bad. Yea I meant second year accounting courses.

Yea, but would you drop now and just use that extra time for your other courses? Or take a chance? I'm thinking of just dropping by tomorrow since it's going to be very difficult to get almost 90 in the final. Like you said, I need a minimum of 2.67 GPA and having anything in any course is just a risk and a huge gamble. At least that's how I see it...

It depends on how well I am doing in ECN 104, your liberal and ITM 102- all subjective aspects. The question is this: Can you handle the course and pass to the point of avoiding probation? (keeping a course and then having it bring down your term GPA down below 2 would be a bad move).

If you have some doubts, then I would advise you to take it next semester and think of the spring/summer term.

[79vincent]

damn, I almost failed the ACC 110 midterm. Hey Saufung how is the final? any M/C?

[~SauFung]

damn, I almost failed the ACC 110 midterm. Hey Saufung how is the final? any M/C?
Breakdown last year was very different so the final content may differ greatly as well- we only had 1 midterm so majority was spent on the first 5 chapters in the midterm and the rest was on the final. Listen to your prof for details.

There were some 20 MC questions but do not think that MC in ACC exams is a good sign, I found it harder. Then, there was a cash flow statement, a case study and rest were random questions like from Lyryx and textbook. Not hard if you study properly. Me, I didn't study properly and made it out with a 71.25%. Class avg was around 58% but that was mainly because the final did throw people off in some aspects (Ex. MC, cash flow statement and the case being rushed I think... didn't check my results so I can't clarify on that) and time.

ECN, I got 68.3% on the mid-term, which isn't too bad I guess. Liberal is just terrible. Got no idea what's going on in SOC 203... ITM 102, not bad not bad. Easy marks, especially the lab stuff. It's a joke in all honesty. The hard stuff is the online quizes and final, which I believe is all multiple choice and out of 100.

Yea, I think I'll discuss with Dr. Chua tomorrow. However from the looks of it, there's a high chance I'll be dropping QMS.

lol, for ITM, just read your slides/book and the final will be cake- just a reader course. Your annoyances with the online quizzes seem to lie with some dreaded glitches and some other strange issues but other than that, final is straight forward.
Good luck on your decision. SOC 203 sounds like an interesting liberal though... may change my liberal once enrollment starts.

Imo, online quizes are blown outta proportion. Do the readings and pay attention to the lectures and you'll get most of the questions. Though there was a couple times I did worse than expected. However, they made an announcement saying the lowest 2 marks will be removed and one of the quiz marks have been increased by 5.

SOC 203 is pretty interesting, but quite confusing. I feel that I should've taken sociology in high school in order to understand the stuff that's going on. But basically, the course is about discrimination and how people are treated unfair, unfair wages, health care, etc. There's a lot of notes, but that died down lately, as we watched movies instead. There's also a LOT of readings. Professor Khuling isn't bad though. She's very easy going and pretty interesting, and she does clarify things when you don't understand what's going on.

Thanks! I appreciate your help. You've saved my skin countless times. I should start doing more research on CA and stuff as well, as I totally did not know about the intro to accounting thing.

Speaking of ICAO requirements, what happens to transfer credits? Are they calculated towards your overall GPA? I got 2nd year transfer credits from my prev school that arent too pretty.

[Merc with a Mouth]

So I am looking ahead to my final year (fall-winter 2011-2012) and checking on some of the profs for courses like ACC 742, ACC 842. I hope I avoid Sydor since her ratings on RMP are brutal and I spoke to a recent grad from Ryerson accounting that said she basically would have screwed him out of any chance in the future of getting into a top MBA program if he took her for ACC 742/842. Friends of his that he considered better students than him got destroyed in her class.

[~SauFung]

^ I heard some rough stories about Sydor as well, although a select few claim that all that rough work will pay off in the professional exams. But still seems like the type to avoid at all costs.

Transfer Credits and Course Mixes Between Universities

Please be aware that, although a recognized university may have granted you a transfer credit or an exemption for a course taken at a post-secondary institution, the course may not fulfill the Institute’s requirements. The Institute will assess ALL transfer credits and exemptions!

It is also essential that students check with the Institute prior to mixing courses between different post-secondary institutions to avoid course content overlap and denial of Institute credits.
Probably better to contact them I guess.

True. It is not impossible to get a good mark with Sydor, as everything you need to know is in the book, and her tests and exams are actually quite fair. However, it just seems that she is too old and focuses way to much on just putting the solutions on the overhead and lecturing about the entire chapter, as opposed to the important concepts in the chapter. Having taken 742/842 through Chang with Newhouse and Rusin, I have to admit they are much better profs who do not rely on powerpoints or an overhead where they show the answers to the assigned questions. They go through every question in detail on the boards writing stuff down, allowing you to follow and spend time outlining the more important concepts in each chapter.

[chawumba]

Law122's second midterm wasn't too bad at all. What'd you get SauFung?? I beat my first midterm's mark :D

Depends on how many courses you take in the spring/summer term. Probably around ~$550 at least, per class.
For previous classes, check on RAMSS and conduct a class search in the spring/summer terms, but you need to put a C beside the course code and select "Continuing Education". Ex. CQMS 102.

does it count as a summer course and do i have to pay like other summer course to take it? what do you guys think?
hmmm

:facepalm: I was looking in shopping cart. No wonder. And based on history, CQMS 102 was offered in spring/summer 2010. Same for 2009. Nothing is showing up yet in 2011 though, which is understandable considering the fall term isn't even over yet.

It was about the transaction between Jack and Roger, based on the postal rule of communication. Don't remember much but it was like even though the rule states that the contract is intact once it is mailed into the system, the deal is off because the offeror (Forgot who) can revoke it anytime before the offeree receives the letter. The offer was off since January 4th and the receiver received it on January 8th, and received the rejection letter the day after. I suspect that my response in the case or even in the short answer portion was lousily written. :|

I think I'll keep QMS 102 for now... maybe I can pull a miracle with the CGPA. If not, I'll just redo it in spring/summer...

[Tinker_bell]

I'm thinking of switching my major to marketing, but I realized that if I do this and want to keep on track with graduating in Winter 2012, I'd have to take MKT400 and MKT600 during the summer. Apparently, MKT400 is only offered online and MKT600 isn't offered at all. Both are prereq's for courses I'd be doing in my final year. Is it possible to take MKT600 along with some of the courses that have it as a prereq or will I be kicked out? THANKS :)

why would you switch from queens to come to ryerson, lol

why would you switch from queens to come to ryerson, lol

I didn't, I did my undergrad at Queen's (best experience ever). For the Master's program I wanted to do it was between Calgary and Ryerson. I ultimately chose Ryerson because I could save money living at home, and it is a twelve month program vs. a regular two year program.

Hey guys, was just wondering how the day classes did in the acc110 exam? Any tips? I'm taking it through CE with Dyson. I know there will be a cash flow statement and a case analysis. I was hoping for more info pertaining to the inclusion of the different methods of recording receivables that are are predicted to be noncollectable.

[chawumba]

I only improved by 0.5 points and I was confident in getting 26. :| I might see my paper next week after my second round of midterms. Did you see how little people show up in his class in the mornings? I swear it was full on the first 2 weeks and now it's like 45% that even bother to show up aside from the midterms.
I just get tired due to not getting much sleep as I should. I just hate 8 am classes in general as well.

Oh, but you ended up doing fairly well anyways :lol: As for seeing the midterms, does he show you them when you go to his office and ask for it? Was just wondering about that. Yes, I noticed there's barely anyone now haha. I thought I went to the wrong class walking in, and was just about to walk out until I saw Wilson at the front :o . That's true, 8 am classes suck!

I am really thinking about perhaps minoring in FIN but am a little unclear. I have FIN300 right now and what mark would tell me that FIN minor is for me? like if i get a 70+ overall is that enough (in terms of marks) to decide whether or not to minor in FIN...Thanks..

I came from waterloo 2nd year AFM-PA loooool.

[thetis]

I'm just wondering, how do you get cross-over rate?
for example:
r = a%
--------A-----B----
Cost...(-1)...(-2)
Y1........3......4
Y2........5......6

Step 1: calculate the NPV to see which project should be accepted, i choose A
Step 2: calculate C column by using A - B, it will be B-A if i choose B

--------A-----B-----------C
Cost...(-1)...(-2).......(-1+2)= 1
Y1........3......4.........(3-4)= -1
Y2........5......6.........(5-6)= -1

Step 3: calculate C's IRR, result is the cross-over rate

Anyone think this years exams aren't scheduled well? I've noticed that my exams are one day after the other or 2 on the same day.

I agree, I have 3 on 2 days and 1 a week later, the two in one day is far enough since one is a table one and the other is auditing, no way they can not make that happen. But two acc exam one day after another is ridiculous, especially when most of the student are taking both classes. And the worst part of it is that it's the first Monday and tuesday of the exam schedule, so I have the weekend to basically study three courses.

Many people are confused about Chang school courses. Here is how it works:

- Only up to 50% of ones undergraduate degree can consist of transfer credits/substitutions/challenge credits/advanced standing/Chang school courses taken before admission to an undergraduate degree progrm, this includes courses taken through Chang in order to obtain a certificate. None of the course grades will count towards a students TGPA or CGPA. Only the credit will be counted.

- Once admitted to a undergraduate degree program a student is permitted to take as many Chang school courses as they want providing that it's an equivalent course (CACC414 = ACC414). Chang classes taken in this fashion will have both the grade counted towards a student TGPA/CGPA ad the credit applied towards the undergraduate degree. Chang courses taken in this fashion are not part of the 50% limit mentioned above.

I took ACC 110 the year it was implemented. It wasn't bad as I took Gr 12 accounting but yeah the exam did throw people off. But it is doable as long as you study properly, redo your homework problems ahead of time and listen to what your prof wants to focus on. Standards must have been increased this year due to the IFRS implementation to come starting next year.

Anyone think this years exams aren't scheduled well? I've noticed that my exams are one day after the other or 2 on the same day.
Some schedulings are ridiculous, especially for those who have ~2 exams in MTCC all in one day. I am fine about the timings for my toughest courses (ACC 414 and LAW 122) but just not fond of how close they are (LAW first, ACC the next day). Some fourth year ACC courses, however, it looks like they have one after the other (ACC 703 in one day @ 3pm and ACC 742 or 842 the next day at around 6pm). Brutal.

Still kind of hesitant to register in any Chang courses though lol... I'm pretty much at the limit of 21 courses from transfer/challenge credits/and 2 chang courses taken prior to admission.

the tutorial is useful if you need help with clarifying something, but if you feel confident when you're doing the cases, it's useless

lol the first year courses are still a joke, except for acc110. the material has simply been review for the most part. it's hard NOT to get at least 80% in most of the subjects.

again acc110 is more difficult than before, but still doable. seems as if though a lot of topics of concern have been with acc110 for the most part. i don't see whats wrong with the 1st year runts trying to facilitate the use of resources available to them lolol.

ACC414 midterm #2 was kinda, well... I think I did noticably worse. It is fair content-wise for the most part but the FV-OCI was annoying despite me knowing my stuff. Probably a C+ at most. Should have focused on the slides more for the mini transactions in Chaper 10. -_-; Zathy and Liu are the same in terms of midterm difficulty though, very generous.

it seems easier from what I can tell in QMS102.

When I took it last year, there was no SPSS assignment for 102. It was only 2 quizzes, 1 midterm and a final. The SPSS stuff still stayed in 202. Online homework or not, both courses are pretty simple.

Oh why does engineering have to be so expensive? How much did urs cost?Engineering is a professional program and most if not all professional programs cost a lot. I think out of the bunch of medicine, law and engineering.. engineering is the least.

But you'll make that up in a few years after grad..

Outside of that.. you know university is a business in itself.. so they try rip you off as much as possible!

[doomhammer]

university is expensive, but nothing compared to the statesDepends on where you go.

If you are going to USC or UC Berkley for example your tuition costs will be WAYYY more than if you go to a State University such as California State <insert campus>

Thanks for the offer. I'm practicing the homework and making cheat sheet right now.

Right now, the only thing I don't seem to understanding is the Distribution of Sample Means and how to do it on the Ti-83, and the inverse normal. From my understanding and lecture notes, inverse normal deals with the left hand side. So in order to get the right hand side on the Ti-83, I would use: invNorm(1-probability, mean, standard deviation) correct?

Right now, the only thing I don't seem to understanding is the Distribution of Sample Means and how to do it on the Ti-83, and the inverse normal. From my understanding and lecture notes, inverse normal deals with the left hand side. So in order to get the right hand side on the Ti-83, I would use: invNorm(1-probability, mean, standard deviation) correct?

Sounds about right, yeah

Thanks for the heads up about the final, so she isn't as bad as people say? Also, I heard that many people in Wilson's 8 am LAW class went for his 3-6 pm slot instead due to the brutal timing.
I do agree that the tutorial is fairly helpful, better to come with a friend or so though.


i can understand how she may come off as a b#@&* but it's just because of the students, i.e. when she asks a question along the lines of "does anybody know the answer?" and nobody puts there hands up, she'll wait till the majority of people do

for other questions she'll just pick people randomly if no one volunteers

she talks louder than wilson too lol

So I've been offered a few internships but they said I need to make sure it's part of Ryerson's program. Does Ryerson do this? Can I get a credit for this internship?

^ if you are in international econ & finance program yes, your degree requirement is to do an internship and you get a credit for it.



- is course challenge (replacing crappy mark by retaking a course) only available prior to graduation?; that is once you graduate you cant retake a course and fix your gpa a bit ?

CHALLENGE EXAMINATIONS

Challenge examinations are held April, August, and December every year at a cost of $175 per exam. You may write a maximum of 5 one-term courses for the degree and 2 one-term courses for certificates. Challenge exams must be written within the first year of admission to the program. You must achieve a “B-” grade or better to receive credit and all grades are final and are not appealable.

[cuongp]

ryerson has the business career program where they help you find a job during the summer, unlike a coop, employers won't get government grants that's why they're asking if it's part of ryerson's program

even if you did the internship, what do you think you could possibly get a credit for?

If I remember correctly, dropping a course after the due date = fail on your transcript.

[thetis]

^

Can I drop a class after the final drop deadline?

Normally no, however, requests for a retroactive class drop will be considered upon receipt of a written request, to the Manager, Student Records. This request must be supported by documentation verifying the medical reasons or compassionate grounds which prevented you from dropping the class(s) by the deadline. The documentation should describe the dates and duration of the illness, should describe the impact it had on the student's ability to drop the class by the deadline, and any other information that the physician considers relevant and appropriate. This documentation must be accompanied by a Class Action Request form or other written request signed and dated by the student's Chair/Program Director. Requests submitted without supporting documentation will not be considered. There will be consultation with the student's program department before a final decision is made.

Dropping a course without permission from your program department, will result in a REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW Academic Standing at the end of the term

GPA, based on your overall % grade. If you want to guesstimate your overall grade %, look at the breakdown and calculate it from there. For the final exam mark, you might see them posted on BB or you may have to email your prof about it.

ECN104: Heavily based on your prof as there are variations in terms of content covered among profs.
QMS102: Very fair, a little tricky though.
Just redo the textbook questions/online homework, make a good set of cribsheet(s) and know your calculator steps for QMS well and you'll be set.
This severely depends on the day you write your exams on. Listen to your prof or check the online schedule. Also, for MTCC exams, come way ahead of time to prevent issues like subway delays.

Exams are held in the South Building, Hall D on December 6 and North Building, Hall A on December 8, 10, and 13.

for those ECN104 students...i would highly suggest you take ECN204 with Mercy Anselm, by far one of the best ECN profs I've had. Her tests and exams are not hard and she writes her exams different where She'll provide you with about 10 short answer question, and 5 of which she'll put on the final so you basically know about 30% of your final before hand.

The schedule online is super clear about where your exams are. I don't know how much more clearer it could be.

A guideline: if you're going to MTCC NORTH, there's three ways you can get there:
1) Get off at Union or St.Andrews Stations, and walk west on Front Street (from Union) or walk south on University to Front Street (for St.Andrews) and walk west from there.
2) Walk the Skywalk. You get to MTCC North before MTCC South I think.
3) Take a cab.

If you're going to MTCC SOUTH, you have three ways to get there:
1) Get off at Union, and walk the Skywalk. It's after MTCC North.
2) Take the 510/509 Streetcar from Union to Lower Simcoe Street (like the 2nd or 3rd stop), then walk north along L.Simcoe St. to the big round building right before the bridge. The building's on the northwest corner of L.Simcoe and Bremner.
3) Take a cab.
You could try walking outside to MTCC South, but I'd imagine it'd take more time than to MTCC North (unless you want to go from MTCC North to MTCC South)

3 months consists of May, June, July and a bit of August. 1.5 months = 2 classes per week and it is very intensive. Whatever the duration you choose, it is quite heavy in nature so prepare for it. Don't worry at this point, focus on your first year courses.

PS: take it in class for 3 months and avoid online since there will be little to no prof interaction whatsoever.

Yeah, plenty retake it. First 2 weeks (Assuming 3 month term) generally consists of 2 chapters per class. Amount of pages seem overwhelming but not bad once you stay focused and say to yourself, "Ok, I can do this." 1 chapter/week from that point on.
1.5 months = imagine two classes per week. In the first week, I guess you will have to read 4 chapters (2 classes x 2 chapters/class), then 2 chapters (2 classes x 1 chapter/class) from that point on I suppose. And there are the homework questions that you have to do- you can't breeze by with the readings only.

[thetis]

10 MC (2 marks each- the toughest portion I hear but my prof didn't go into further detail as he didn't see the draft)
here how it works in Monro's class: only 1 answer that worth 2 marks, however, in case u answer it wrong, you still have a chance to get 1 mark if your answer is the 2nd best answer
ie: question: blah blah blah
choose 1 answer:
a/ worth 1 mark
b/ 0 mark
c/ 0 mark
d/ 0 mark
e/ worth 2 marks

[mr_toast]

then we're free to swap/change/etc on open enrollment day right? Correct. There's different times for 1st years, like back in August.


how about osap? do I pick up my winter portion now? winter? They usually allow OSAP pickup during the first week of school. It won't be in the gym; it'll most likely be on the third floor of KHW or something.



when do I apply for osap again for springsummerfall? For spring/summer, you need to print out an OSAP extension of study period form (available online around late April-early May) and drop it in the drop-box outside he OSAP office. There are NO loans extended usually; just grants, and you're not allowed to retake courses if you're considering OSAP. You'll have to pay for the rest of the tuition from your pocket.

Next year's Fall/Winter OSAP application opens around late May.


Should I take ACC414 during spring/summer? 2months or 4 months? If you're a hard worker and only plan to take 414 and nothing else, I'd take the 2 month course. It's 2 times a week (Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs, almost never Friday), and it's usually a chapter a week. That'd free up some time for a job or hanging out with friends. Always take it in-class if you're less than a hard worker or you never crack open the textbook. The in-class lectures will help in mental retention and reinforces what you'd read anyways. Consequently, after you've taken 414, you could take a stab at 514 for the second 2-month period if you want to. The material isn't vastly different, just repetitive sometimes.

I suggest staying away from Guoping Liu. Her teaching style is great, but she has a thick accent (no disrespect to her or anything). Also stay away from Julie MacDonald. She teaches from the answer key (disrespect meant).

Also, you asked something about re-taking and online and chang. Techically, all online courses are Chang courses, so you'd be paying separately for that anyways. I haven't re-taken 414, and it hasn't taught me how to study, but if you decide to change your major down the road from accounting (assuming you're going into accounting; everyone does), I'd say 414 would be the hardest course to live down.

514 was a ***** to say the least. If you don't do well in ACC414, expect trouble in 514. I walked away from 414 with a 55, took 514, walked away with a 55. Switching majors; I don't find accounting appealing much anymore.

But yeah, only during the summer, OSAP won't pay for retakes. During the school year (fall/winter), you can get away with it if you have 5 new courses and a 6th retake course.

Ah crap... I didn't do well at all. Stupid 1 hour delay screwed me over T_T

were you the guy from yesterday? there was some student who came when i was looking at my scantron. & the guy TA was there.

the delay when they had to setup + get the tests from bond street? but we all had 45minutes to complete after..

[~SauFung]

514 was a ***** to say the least. If you don't do well in ACC414, expect trouble in 514. I walked away from 414 with a 55, took 514, walked away with a 55. Switching majors; I don't find accounting appealing much anymore.

But yeah, only during the summer, OSAP won't pay for retakes. During the school year (fall/winter), you can get away with it if you have 5 new courses and a 6th retake course.
I heard things about 514 as well, especially on how much more brutal it is compared to 414.
The only way to survive in 414 is to do your assigned homework over and over again, run to the tutoring center/prof/look to a private tutor for help if necessary (Raymond aka. Rye ACC tutor is pretty good) and ensure you do your part AHEAD of time. Do not be discouraged if you get lower than what you expected compared to your marks in first year ACC courses. Just prepare well ahead of time, listen to your prof on the midterm/final coverage, do your readings and homework and repeat. For midterms/final, study ahead of time and you should pull of a decent mark.


Didn't study as hard for the 2nd ACC414 midterm. -_-; Pulled of a 65.83%, argh should have spent another day or so on it to get 70s. :facepalm:If only I focused more on the mini transactions and the HTM journal entries, I might do decent.

Yea I am.

Yea but I forgot stuff during that 1 hour delay. And I think I wrote down the wrong things on my crib sheet on how to use the TI-83 :facepalm:

[Shimso]

dang i forgot how course intention works, i tried to press enroll courses but it didnt allow me to do so
so after adding courses to the cart, what comes next? or that's it?
I'm pretty sure course intentions is already over

After you have course intentions it means that you SHOULD have courses pre-selected for you once schedules are released (Dec 3, IIRC). However its no guarantee and you might still have to revise your schedule (which happens a little after xmas).

I took 414 with Zathy while taking FIN300, LAW122, and 2 other courses I can remember + work and I didn't give it my all and its my worst mark so far.
I took 514 with McDonald in the summer (1.5 mths) and did very, very well.

That said, I think a large reason for the difference is because I was a lot more motivated and focused for 514, and I'm a self-learner so I basically read the book, and did as much hwk as I could.

[acc123]

acc 801: will he be posting the marks for the last test on blackboard? he said that he was treating the last test like the final exam, so im thinking he might not post the mark?

anyone have any info on this

[xxklipse]

Just wondering before open enrollment/getting schedules I guess..

Which prof to take for each course? & course load?

ACC 410 - Management Accounting (Majors)
ECN 204 - Introductory Macroeconomics
GMS 200 - Intro to Global Management
MHR 523 - Human Resources Management --- I heard this was similar to the textbook used in high school? or at least I used it. :lol:
MKT 100 - Principles of Marketing
QMS 202 - Business Statistics II

Sorry if this has been asked already :confused:

For ECN 204, Professor Kam is going to tell us who's good and who's not. One of the profs he recommends is female. And QMS 202, go for Chua again? I'm going to go for Chua if I'm not retaking 104 >.<

And I didn't see you in QMS today haha. But then class was pretty empty... and boring.

[thetis]

for mkt100 i think Morley is a good choice, hes interesting guy

and for ecn204, im going to choose Barbiero again, i like this guy, not the TA tho

Amy Peng? She's pretty good but not sure if she's teaching next term. Her midterm and final are very fair actually- she gives you past quizzes to practice and some are even recycled in her midterm/final. Slides are great, lectures not so much but is a very nice person and if you don't understand some Lyryx labs, she is willing to help you out individually.

Detailed breakdown of courses- look at last years' course outlines: http://www.ryerson.ca/tedrogersschool/bm/course_outlines/
ACC 410: Else Grech. Breakdown depends because last year the profs had their own thing. EX. Else has her own 10% online weekly HW on BB, 2x midterms each 20% and 50% final. She's awesome- provides the notes of the concepts and explains them in a very clear manner.

ECN 204: I had Amy Peng for 104/204 and thought she was pretty good. Read above. Brennan Thompson is also a great choice I hear. With Amy it's 10% Lyryx, 40% Midterm (Don't worry, it's very fair) and 50% final.

GMS 200: Shavin Malhotra. Very nice and down to earth man, teaches in the large lecture hall. Doesn't sum the chapters, but expands with some fairly interesting examples which imo is good. EASY, if you took Gr 12 BOH4M0 Leadership, the textbook is exactly the same but different edition so some high school notes may come in handy, although Wiley slides are all provided to you. Watch out for the Globus project, pray for cooperative group members and you'll be fine.

MHR 523: New this year, check Chang site for a course outline.

MKT 100: Paul Finlayson is pretty good I hear. Avoid Fernando Pardo, especially if you're interested in marketing. You will be disappointed, doesn't teach AT ALL although he marks real easy and makes you wonder if he read the assignment at times. Mary Foster is pretty tough, I didn't like her personality tbh.

QMS 202: Clare Chua Chow is pretty good choice, Jason Tiong-Chan isn't bad either I hear. If Nirmal Gupta is teaching next term (I think he retired already), he is also good. No powerpoints, but very clear explanations, approachable and very fair tests although the midterm was a bit of a blow.

[ca2pro1]

Can anyone tell me when and what time is the 4th year enrollment period? What I mean is when we get to choose our exact class times.

Thanks for the insight ! :D The tutor I go to at tutoring center said she took it with Jason Chan & she said he was pretty good too ! D. Taveres doesn't teach 202? Would he also be a good option? I went to my friend's lecture, he explains so well ! Going again this Monday & Friday. :lol:

LOL I was in QMS ! Never skipped. xD Yes, it was pretty empty. All my friends left me at 4pm. Sad. I was sitting near the front.. on the right side of the white board? Man, some idiots tried to take pictures of Chua's slides... with FLASH on. -__-

[omega11]

I would recommend Paul Finlayson over roy morely any day for MKT100. I had friends in Roy's class he is funny and nice but his teaching was a bit ambigous so like ppl didn't know what to exactly study. with finlayson he cares about his students and literally goes out of his way. he tells u what to study and what type of questions he will ask and it will be easier. He makes classes fun but Roy is also good and a pleasure to have but its up to you.

Is Barbiero any good? Kam is always making fun of his colleagues in class, especially Yieldez.

I don't have much luck at the tutoring centre... went twice and it didn't help much.

Yea all my friends ditched too. They were sleeping or playing games. It's pretty hard understanding Chua sometimes and class can get boring easy. I sit in the middle to top since I don't want to look up during the lecture.

[omega11]

I got Scott Anderson for FIN300 he didn't say anything about the final. Wondering if other profs mentioned anything about it like the difficulty or what to expect etc. Thanks

I took FIN300 in summer school and it is different from what daytime students will write, so can't really throw in much useful stuff here because compared to one of Inglis's past final he will post, I found Chang exam to be easier.

Check the BB for a past final exam that Inglis will post up for an idea. I think you will have to focus more on chapters 6 and beyond, but still take a look at chapters 1-5 briefly as well. Look out for Chapter 10 and don't skim over the long formulas in chapter 13 (Seems overwhelming once you look at it but once you get an idea on what the elements are, you will be fine. There will be 2 questions on it). I found stocks and capital budgeting to be the hardest chapters, but everything else is fine especially once you know how to sort out your calculator.

If you want, there is a mock exam offered in the student center (bring a non-perishable food item in exchange for a paper) although it is very reflective on the Chang exam (easier) than with the daytime exam imo.

[omega11]

Thanks for the advice SauFung!
To the people who took FIN300 previously, any comments on the FINAL EXAM please? lol it would be helpful.

[~SauFung]

Actually, I think there is a FIN300 support thread somewhere in the Students forum (you got to search for it). There are some useful resources there in preparation for the final- good practice imo.

[jeffy10]

I took FIN300 with scott anderson a few years ago. In order to do well on the final, you have to really know how to use your calculator. Having a good cheat sheet helps too (assuming that you are allowed to bring one)

[Shimso]

801 marks are up!

Quite content with my 801 mark.


The average does look high for a third year ACC course...:D

Nope, she said she didn't finish writing it ye

All i know is its around 100 multiple choice questions on chapters 13 through 20 as well as 1 and 7; and 1 double sided crib sheet allowed

[mykismet]

just hoping for some feedback for the courses im taking next semester...i work full time as well so comments on time commitment would be greatly appreciated

acc410...took 110 this semester, getting a 85..havent done any of the homework other than lyryx.

fin 300... never took a finance course before

law 122. ecn204 and qms202

would this be a relatively difficult course load? i have about 6 hrs from monday to friday, in total, to do readings. assignments and such are done during the weekend

acc410 and fin300 would take up more than 6hrs alone especially if you've never taken a finance course before.

Like stated, ACC 410 and FIN 300 will require some careful attention, especially for the latter course (Know your calculator steps!). Do as many of the assigned homework questions before class, identify areas you don't understand right away and quickly arrange time for help as well in the prof's office hours. I would add LAW 122 to the list of courses you should pay special attention to as well. It is not straightforward (may read some chapters again), do the cases at the back of each chapter and listen attentively during the prof's lectures.
QMS 202 isn't so bad. Very minimal overlap from 102 but once you know the normal distribution shape well, it will help. This requires less commitment compared to ACC 410 and FIN 300.
ECN 204 wasn't so bad, especially on the early chapters and it is easier than 104 imo.

[mykismet]

thanks so much for the feedback from the both of you.

also, when are professors chosen for classes? i'd like to take dyson for 410 if she's teaching it, and have a few other instructors in mind for other courses... not sure when they'll be selected though =\

You're welcome.
Once schedules are released this upcoming Friday, you'll know the selection of profs who will teach next semester although some new profs may come in and some may be replaced. Also, Dyson doesn't teach introductory management accounting- only ACC 100/110 and 414 in the past in Chang school (stopped recently).

[pegger06]

Anyone able to give advice on ACC 414 (night school)? This class is the hardest class I've ever taken, I've done well in other accounting courses, but this one is beyond those courses. I'm a finance guy, and eventhough we need to know accounting this class is too much. I passed the first midterm, failed the second midterm, and the final is in two weeks. I do all the homework questions but it just seems harder than the book material on these tests. Anyone have a test bank for this book?

This is a reachback for me, so I want to get it out of the way. It's also my only accounting class I need.

do all the questions the Excercises and the problems all of them. than when ur done do them again till your perfect without looking at the solutions btw. Ppl think if u know concepts its okay but u gotta do the problems over and over till its in ur head.

+1. Like many quantitative-based courses, reading is NOT an accurate reflection of how well you understand. You gotta redo your homework at least once or twice until it sticks to your head.

Have you tried going over the second midterm solutions with your professor?

[EdLeafs]

I think you got to find new questions after a few attempts because then your not really doing the homework anymore since you already have the answers memorized.

[rexplosive9]

Ah, the days of 414 and 514... I remember those same thoughts. Once you reach ACC 703 -Advanced Financial Accounting, you'll be wondering to yourself why you stressed over those courses when the real tests of stress stem from this course. Don't give up, like all courses they are doable. Many people have done these courses so it is not impossible. Practice is your friend.

yeah i agree but i think 703 is an extension of these intermediate u can do good as long as u do same thing practice practice.... now 842 that is a hard course way harder than 703

[Fluid]

yeah i agree but i think 703 is an extension of these intermediate u can do good as long as u do same thing practice practice.... now 842 that is a hard course way harder than 703

I am taking 703 right now and find it much harder than 842.

Thanks in advance.

[BobSaget]

Does anyone know when the dates and times of the winter classes are released?

My advice for 414/514 is to know the theory dead cold before even attempting the homework. It's all about concentration. Unlike finance and other business courses, every minute detail in the intermediate accounting textbooks is important and must be understood thoroughly. Good studying technique is crucial to your success in these courses. Take your time, never rush, and learn to enjoy the material. I can say this for every class but this is more relevant for accounting courses. Accounting requires double the effort of finance.

[EdLeafs]

Student Services at the second floor of TRS 2-168. Bring a nonperishable good for donation in exchange for a paper. Last Day is on December 3rd.

Nah, different in terms of distribution. IMO, it's roughly more evenly distributed among each set of topics. The one on BB has more focus towards Chapters 6 and up.

[Merc with a Mouth]

I'm so excited for finals next week! :lol:

[EdLeafs]

Sorry if its been posted before, but what's the breakdown of the course?

Not sure if the format changed this year but when I took it, it was a bird course. 2-3 tests (can't remember lol) + 1 temperature report (super easy)

[k_jai]

Anyone have the mock final exam posted by Inglis on Blackboard - step by step solutions?

Everyone been spamming for that cause one of the profs put it up...I didn't get it though.

[undacova]

keep in mind that the mock exams are written by student tutors and the one on blackboard will be written by profs ...

So I need to take one more accounting course to satisfy my 3rd year requirements and I was wondering which of the following is best to take:

Accounting for Managers
Accounting for Small Business
Internal Auditing

I know Joel Shapiro is teaching the first two, and his marking scheme is simply random, however the course did not require much work at all because it was just simply cases.

I was planning on taking Internal Auditing, but auditing seems very boring and I heard the course is difficult.
So now I'm not sure which to take.
Suggestions?

[Rarrazz]

Shapiro does give out A's to girls. He is extremely, extremely bias and at the same time a horny old prick.

My prof didn't say much about the final as he didn't look at the draft. But he recommended us to go to Monro's Q+A session held next Thurs/Fri to get a good idea of the final.

[orbero]

how come there is a lack of clubs at Ryerson? I wanted to join something but I'm not very athletic so no sports for me, and I'm in ITM and ITMSA is something you need to apply for, and I suck at interviews....So are there any other active clubs or groups? Any music related clubs?

[xxklipse]

Awww I thought the new schedules would be up by now ! :(

I also got a -#### balance, meaning I gotta go to student fees again?

Or are they still updating on RAMSS?

There's no music clubs as far as I know. Other clubs there's a lot: some being Toastmasters @ Ryerson (public speaking confidence), and The Commerce Times (newspaper).

I had one of my classes dropped for no reason next semester. Looks like it won't make it onto my schedule and I will have to manually add it during my enrollment period. :facepalm:

[1barginxhunter91]

if there is a negitive balance it my RAMMS account how do i go about getting that money back? thanks

Fill out this form:

Drop it off at Student Fees. POD 64 I think.

Refund will be sent to your home address.

i checked in at 7:00am this morning and had all my courses in my schedule for winter term, and i checked right now, and have none of my courses all of them dropped for no reason?
i have all the prerequisites, and did course intentions, cause i had them in my schedule?


SERIOUSLY, CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT I CAN DO?

i really don't want to wake up 5:30am on enrollment day and fight for my whole schedule

Well schedules are being released today so that is most likely the cause of the problem. Thing is I had all my courses still there but one dropped which was odd.

[~SauFung]

Is ur prof the one who said that he might get in trouble for being too easy? lol
Wilson? I don't know, he didn't say anything about that but I judging from his tests, I think our class may be screwed over if they are the ones who assume the final will be like his tests. Hell, little to ~10 people showed up in the morning slot during the last 2 weeks and I thought majority showed up for the afternoon slot. Afternoon class was better in comparison but maybe less than 1/3 of the class showed up in the final review when I went to the afternoon slot. Did people go to the other profs like Miedema for better preparation (Ex. more extensive case coverage)? I heard that Miedema is a pretty good prof.
I was a little doubtful after I saw his tests and realized other classes have MC Case midterms which may prepare them better. I guess he doesn't want us to walk out with crappy grades? He does go over selected cases in class though and is a knowledgeable man.

Yeah, I just woke up and discovered that my schedule is completely blank although my tuition fees already appeared. Where the hell are my 5 courses? haha...

EDIT: Hmm... ACC 514 is going to take place in TRS 1-067? Interesting. Also, now ACC 504 is only available at night? Might have to consider that now.
FIN 401: Scott Anderson, Yi Feng and Allen Goss... who should I get... I hear good things about Anderson and Goss though. No sure about Feng.
Waiting to see the SOC 202/203 profs and I can switch out of POL 128.

[RandomSanity]

FIN 401: Scott Anderson, Yi Feng and Allen Goss... who should I get... I hear good things about Anderson and Goss though. No sure about Feng.


I've had Feng for FIN 300 and Anderson for FIN 401. If you plan on attending every class, I would suggest Scott Anderson. He is very old school, very unorganized, and doesn't use blackboard but he is by far the best Finance professor I've had.

Anderson is good but it is important to attend all his classes before the mid-term and take good notes since he writes everything on the whiteboard. He has 100% control for the mid-term so his notes are important. Notes and attendance are still important in the second half but he does not have much input into the final (around 20-25%) so missing a class or two (not recommended) won't kill you if you can get the PowerPoint from another class.

[CatDog]

Hey guys,

Is the amount they show in your RAMS accurate regarding the balance?

I have -$2500 .. this means I don't owe the school $2500 right? The $2500 amount is to pay for the 2nd semester?

[xxklipse]

ewww my schedule now !

http://i51.tinypic.com/dxis0l.png

[Shimso]

Awesome. I only have 2 courses in my schedule and they're both in the night. 504, 521 and 621 are apparently all 6:30 to 9:30 classes...

Wait until you have Eric Terry.

Does anyone know if there is going to be more than one class offered for QMS102 for Winter 2011? I only see one so far but are they going to add more before the switching date?

Also, can someone help me figure out what course I should push to 2nd year? I dropped QMS102 (as you can tell) in Fall. And I want to definitely take it 2nd semester to get it over with and bring over at least little knowledge I had from before. Since I am thinking of majoring in marketing, I'm keeping MKT100. So out of: ACC406, GMS200, MHR523, or ECN204, what should I do in 2nd year instead. If you give me good reasons, that will help so much. Thanks! :)

There might be an additional slot offered in the Winter but it depends on the demand. What you see is most likely what you'll get.

Since you're 2 credits behind then (QMS 202 and another course), are you planning to take summer school to get one done then?

You'll have GMS 401, FIN 300, CMN 279, MKT 300 and an elective in 3rd semester.
You can't proceed to GMS 401 without GMS 200 and better to keep that instead.
MHR 523 seems group work heavy so get that out of the way so you don't have to deal with so much group work in 3rd semester (GMS 401 and MKT 300, I think).
If you're one who doesn't like numbers, having ACC 406 and FIN 300 at the same time may annoy you as they require some decent amount of practice each.
Then there is QMS 202 and ECN 204. If you're one who wants economics electives out of your way, leave QMS 202 for second year. Or vice versa for leaving ECN 204 if you don't like numbers and wanting to get QMS 202 out of the way.

Personally, I would go to summer school and get rid of the two remaining first year courses to move on to second year completely but hey it's your choice.

[TeeBall]

I have to choose a liberal for this semester. i narrowed my choices down to the following :

ENG212

ITM 277
POL 128

please help as soon as you can :)

If you want to see other profs, wait after some days or so and they will update the staff slots with the assigned profs so you can see additional choices. Of course, it may skew your schedule a bit too if you go for a prof with better rep but has a slot which conflicts with your planned schedule.

[Shimso]

I'll sell you my 521 textbook,


btw, wtf is going on with the schedules?

Sure, once I make sure I'm still take the course next sem





One prof told me that courses with "701" sections (6:30PM classes that are not chang school) always have exams in the first week of exams on that day day of the week and time. Which means someone taking ACC504, ACC514, and ACC621 will have an exam on the first monday of exams at 6:30; the first tuesday at 6:30, and the first wednesday at 6:30. Ouch (assuming that's true).

I have a feeling I would be unable to do summer school. The reason is that once I am in that mindset of being on summer vacation, I'm gone lol. (Took summer school for two years and completely bombed it).

Since I dropped a course, is that why I have around -500 in my balance?

[mr_toast]

There's no course exclusively online; every distance education course has an in-class final exam component, except maybe CCMN279 or a relevant communications course. Also, all of the online courses are continuing education. But if you mean the rest of the classwork as multiple choice, I vote for CLAW122.

I just had POL 128 with Joseph Zboralski. We had a midterm (40 MC), an essay, and the exam which is 40 marks with short answer and an essay question. I liked him as a prof. He's passionate about what he's talking about and knows his stuff. I've heard he's a hard marker though. Since we haven't gotten our essays back I have no idea. We watched Wag the Dog, Modern Times, Dr. Strangelove, Bon Cop Bad Cop, and a documentary about Disney movies. It's a pretty straight forward course, nothing that hard. :)

[Shimso]

Seems like every elective or PR course I wanted for this semester isn't available...

And I'm not sure why I'm not enrolled in one course I intended for even though it doesn't conflict and is open. I hope it doesn't fill up.


At this point, I'm mainly concerned about electives (A or B) that A's are reasonably attainable in rather than a course that's "easy". Not sure what to take, though.

[OpportunityChaos]

hey guys, looking for info on which courses are the easiest in the following list.

i know i should take whichever course is most interesting to me or which ever i know the most about, but just wanna see if anyone's taken any of the following course and share with me how they did and how the profs were. thx!

Yep, switching on Dec 31. I can't wait for that day to come!! ><

I've made 10 schedules on excel, and got 22 courses/sections in my shopping cart. :lol:

If I wanted two days off, I'd be sitting for 9 hours straight on Monday... no way that happening! My Mondays are going to be 6 hours. xP

Yeah Chua.

Well midterm test under announcements,

(Note: You are not allowed to write problems and solutions on the cribsheet.)


... so I guess this means for all cribsheets.

ITT: first years prepping for their first visit to hell

PS. come to think of it, on my QMS102 final, they did collect the cheat sheets...

[geokilla]

Yeah Chua.

No examples. However they don't collect the crib sheets so I dunno....

People who have donoe the LAW122 final exam. How was it? Like was it exceptionally hard? any advice/tips?

10 M/C, 10 T/F and 10 M/C worth 2 marks each.

I had him for Micro, but I switched to Kam. Kam ain't bad. His stories are amazing and he told us what we need to know too.

@NX. You can write how much you loved QMS and how much you learned in this course and how it'll affect your future :lol:

[geokilla]

Anyone know where stats and the other exams are for first year BM? The exam schedule just says MTCC. I believe announcements for some courses said where the exams are in MTCC, but a lot didn't...

That or I haven't been paying attention enough >.<

Exams are held in the South Building, Hall D on December 6 and North Building, Hall A on December 8, 10, and 13.

Are you serious? Tavares never mentioned anything like this, and my crib sheets are full of examples...... Lol it doesn't even say so on the course outline or have I ever heard anyone say anything about this, except you guys.....

Waaaaaa???????? OH WELL NOT MY FAULT, I'M JUST GOING TO ACT LIKE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

Oh I have my ways around that! Don't you worry about me!

EDIT: The funny thing is that on the first crib sheet I made it had examples. It was examples towards the quantitative and qualitative questions which I brought with me to every quiz and the midterm, yet no AUTHORITY mentioned SPECIFIC GUIDELINES about one's crib sheets and the content in it or did anyone take it from me.

There's going to be hundreds of people taking the exam and a vast majority of them are bound to have examples on their sheets. Hell, not everyone has a informative Professor like Chua or who use this forum as a reference and get answers. The probability is great!

[Shimso]

Anyone in 522 have the answers for chapter 8's homework?

Yep, switching on Dec 31. I can't wait for that day to come!! ><

I've made 10 schedules on excel, and got 22 courses/sections in my shopping cart. :lol:

If I wanted two days off, I'd be sitting for 9 hours straight on Monday... no way that happening! My Mondays are going to be 6 hours. xP

lol 10 schedules?!?! you should base your schedule on the profs and not whats more "convenient" for yourself, in the end its only going to help you by getting the best profs

I did. LOL. 10 schedules based on the best profs & their times. only one 8am class too 8D yay me!
Except the profs I wanted conflicted with other courses. I dont like how MHR523 is split. There's always at least 1hr class for it on Wednesday.
I also got two other classes.. one on each day. Oh well. good profs > bus tokens.

I got 7 items in shopping cart with same prof. xD

Metropass ftw. I'm so cheap I calculated whether it'd be cheaper to use tokens or get myself a metropass. In the end, metropass won.

Lol which profs did you pick? The ones that were rated high on RMP and what SauFung said?

Actually, don't answer this. Study LOL

[cuongp]

what can I expect acc110 final to be like? for the previous years, did they focus mainly on later chapters?

20 m/c, 1 case, cash flow statement, and a few other questions

I do that too. But I only have 4 days of school.. so tokens win. I only bought metro pass in November.

My confidence level for stats is dropping.

Does anyone understand sample distribution of the sample mean?

Nevermind. Khanacademy taught me on YouTube =)

So I just learned the QMS exam is at the same time as my ACC521 exam. I'll tell ya what. Find me, and I'll give you any answer you need.

Just like the homework however, the breakdown changed with 2 midterms or so I hear so it might(!) test you more on the untested chapters. Didn't your prof tell you where majority of the breakdown will lie? I'd focus on the later chapters (Cash flow statement and onwards) as the first few chapters are basic stuff.

I rather write my GMS401 final at around 11:30 am at the Gym or even around 3 pm at the MTCC though. 8 am sucks because it's so early but the exam wasn't bad- pretty fair because of Wally. More so on maintenance stuff but fair stuff though I could have made better use of my time...

About timetables: while some profs do add value in the lectures, you still got to do your part and make a schedule that is manageable and not one that will cause you to kill yourself (Ex. Having 3 classes with no breaks non-stop may not be tolerable after the first 2 weeks or so esp. during midterms). But some are great to have though.





Why do I have a feeling that the one hour section in CMN 279 is going to require clickers. -_-; I need to find a liberal that will make Monday worth while so I'm not commuting there for one lousy hour. I second the sentiment about ACC 504 being scheduled in such a late time. The idea of ACC 514 in TRS 1-067 doesn't seem so good- hard to get questions across in such a big room. But then changes in timeslots/rooms may occur later during the holidays. At least no 8 am classes next semester for me.

I heard that FIN502 is quite a good choice and is relevant to daily life or so I hear.
Two people in my GMS 401 group said MKT300 has quite the group work and the final is kinda harsh. Not much on the birdiness scale but what I heard.
CMN313 is about reports I think, and is required for CGA if you are an accounting major expanding your designation choices.

I have a FIN300 exam on Wednesday @8am then an exam @3pm. ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
Calm down with the exclamation marks, lol. As long as you prepared ahead of time, you should be fine. Just get enough sleep and read the question carefully a few times.

Will never have enough especially for those who commute and can't sleep during the night thinking about the 8AM exam lolz

[~SauFung]

LOL I get what you mean. I am a commuter and the idea of an 8 am exam keeps you paranoid especially on the night before and you end up pulling those all-nighters to ensure that you understand the theory/concepts tested. Rest is also important so some trade-offs here and there, but sometimes staying up may not necessarily work out.

[TH1]

Does anyone know for ITM 407 with candace grant if attendance is mandatory and if its for both the 2 hour and 1 hour class

haha agreed

[Merc with a Mouth]

I hardly get any sleep before most 8 am exams, even the ones I am confident I am going to ace. I end up getting more like a nap and still feel pretty awake by the time it's ready to write. Of course this only works if it's the only exam that day. You're screwed if you have another one the same day. This is when you feel like **** and enter zombie mode.

[Fluid]

which prof?

Ian Sakinowsky.

Every section of BUS800 follows the exact same course outline, same assignments, same weighting, etc.

However, a lot can be said about the differences in the marking and teaching of all the profs. Use ratemyprofs and other people's advice when choosing a prof.

I'm definitely not looking forward to Chapters 3 - 13 on my ECN exam on Wesnesday.....eek!

Really? The fact that the 1 hr section in CMN 279 possibly taking place in TRS 1-067 seems to hint the use of clickers but I could be wrong.

I am rereading the notes I've made and making any additional small detailed notes on the last 2 chapters. Probably rereading some chapters and doing as many cases as possible. Of course, I have ACC 414 to tackle at the same time. Are you going to Monro's Q+A sessions on Thurs @ 10-12 or Fri @ 1-3 (I am planning to go there) to get an idea of the final?

for my schedule, i just took the 3hr session (2hr + 1hr right afterwards)
during that 1hr session we would be in the lab doing assignments, writing a memo or email of some sort
mind you this was every other week for the first few weeks, in the end i think we had 4 assignments

must be different next semester =S

i will be in monro's q&a on thursday, i thought about making notes for the course but opted not to, just going to read the text again (i highlighted my textbook so it's a lot easier the second time around)

[~SauFung]

I am planning to reread a lot of the chapters as it provides a lot of small details that can impact the performance for the final, but making it in note form gives a better layout for me to look at.

is the course content in the CE courses the same as in the day classes? an example being cacc514 vs acc514..

Hahaha, I really don't know. My prof was, on average, 20-30 mins late for each class (even the one-hour classes!) and didn't really teach us a whole lot. :facepalm:

I believe that all the ECN exams are going to be different. My friend said his is only on the last 3 chapters that his class has done, my other friend's is on random chapters between 3 - 21, and mine is from 3 - 13.

Hahaha, sigh! I'm currently reading through my ECN slides and am having a hard time deciphering a lot of them due to the influx of graphs and calculations. Ay yai yai.

That's amazing that you had extra time to double check your answers on the QMS exam; I barely finished mine! I had 92% going into it though so I'm not going to worry too much. It sounds like you did well on your exam! :) I'm not sure whether to try to get Chua or Tavares for QMS202 next semester. All I know is that I definitely don't want McKessock ever again.



Anyway, good luck on ECN tomorrow, everyone!!!!!

And to the person who proposed that we break up the chapters of ITM and share them with eachother, I'm definitely down to do that! I'm not going to start studying for ITM until after ACC is over and done with, though.

I got ECN 104 chapters 4 - 8, 13 - 16, and 21. Got a breakdown of how many questions are from which chapters, which helps. Still screwed though.

Lol when I first heard the woman on the mike, I thought she was Chua...

ecn 104 doesn't use the 12th edition text by mcconnell brue flynn barbiero anymore?

What's with the hate on first years (See tag)

[KonniXeoN]

Anyone have Law122 notes?

Pretty screwed for the final exam... I have an exam every day.. :(

Also was anyone taking Acc406 this semester?

anyone have any PR course recommendations? one of mine is in a brutal slot and all sections have the same common hour so i need to find another

I'm planning on taking FIN 501 for next semester (winter). It seem like Yuanshun Li is teaching the course again. How is he? His ratings from ratemyprof seem very bad which was why I avoided it this semester. Opinions?

He doesn't teach. Often he will take a topic In the course and go off in such a tangent you forget what the topic is. The only source of knowledge you would get is from the textbook. There's no point in going to class except on the first day for the group project. The last class isnt even needed. If you rely on FIN300 and 401 notes and work off basic formulas from 501, expect an easy 75% final grade.

So did ant one else get screwed by the TTC this morning? Posting from Broadview station as my exam starts.

you sure...they are ready by the 25th?

[~SauFung]

Yeah, a nice gift from Ryerson indeed. Marks and term GPA will be released on Christmas.

Ouch about the subway delay for those affected for the FIN300 final and the other classes writing in the morning today.

Left like 45 minutes early and still ended up an about hour late for my exam.

Ouch about the subway delay for those affected for the FIN300 final and the other classes writing in the morning today.
The TTC collector felt so sorry for me when I asked him the quickest way to Union and told him "I have a 50% final exam in about... 10 minutes." Then the security guard at the doors was like "sorry, I can't allow anyone in anymore". WORST feeling ever. Finally got someone called over and they were like "we have to check and if anyone left, we can't let you in" so I got to freak out for another few minutes and they then finally let me in and gave me my exam. They didn't give out a final 5 minute warning so I ended up running out of time and leaving like 6 questions blank and possibly more since I just roughly coloured in like 4 dots just after they called time. The only upside in my morning was cute invigilator in my row.

Now to cram for ECN 104, hahaha.

anyone have a general suggestion as to what would be a good mark in acc110 if im looking to pursue accounting as my major? i have a low 80 going into the final. the time i've put into the course is about 30 minutes a week doing the online homework and 6 hours of studying each midterm.

that would be a decent mark i guess, 2 sd's above mean or so

im sort of in a catch 22, i can't see my transcripts, which means i can't see my final unless i pay off all my fees

but i don't get my osap until january....

[TechRock]

something to laugh at during exam time

Hi everyone,

I am very sorry having to send this mass email out to everyone but I need your help for our exam. I hand write my notes and an incident has occured where I do not have certain ones. What happened you ask??....Well my puppy ate some of my notes and now am missing Week #9 (Nov. 1), Week #12 (Nov. 22) and Week #13 (Nov. 29). She ate portions of notes from these weeks and I am panicking!! Is there anyway some could please send these notes to me?? Thank you and goodluck on all your exams!!

[zing145]

Hey fellas how's it going?

First post here but been checking out this thread for a while to get some info. as I do go to Ryerson atm and its been very helpful.

Just wondering if there are any business majors around here who've taken ACC410, the Management Accounting course?

Got an exam in a couple days and I'm totally bummed at the moment so any hints and tips on what the teachers have focused on in past exams would be extremely helpful.

[monthehuang]

Any tips for itm 600 exam???:(

Some profs post final exam marks through BB or in an excel spreadsheet and you got to use the ctrl + f function to find your student number to know what you got. Some don't so you have to email them.

Yes, F2010 grades come out on Christmas. Talk about a load of coal.

Honestly, ACC 410 in Winter 2010 (First time implemented) was severely based on the profs.
It should be cumulative with some focus on variances but mainly equal weight among selected major topics. We had a different text last year, but content should be roughly the same. We had questions on calculating Fixed Costs and Variable Cost functions, Overhead applied, break-even, cash budgets, some variance stuff (theory mainly based there) and some things I forgot. But it was very, very fair. Do all your homework questions, do not skimp on the theory (they took little portion of my final but still look) and redo any midterms. Good luck!

Yes. Do as many relevant questions as you can. Pay attention to the prof and do not rely on Lyryx/tutorial labs for midterm and final. Stick to the text and whatever past midterm/final posted on BB. But be careful, you have 7 courses.

[Albina]

omg yes!!!I guessed at least 10 qs...the first 25 qs weren't hard, I was taking my time and was pretty happy that I'm getting it but then I saw stocks, portfolios...damn I knew I should have spent more time studying for that. ugh.

[xxklipse]

ECN104 exam killed me. Guessed around.. 35% of the questions? Funny how everyone near me who had Barbiero put their hands up for questions. Haha missing the chart info for question #1... so omit the first 3 questions.. I think he did it on purpose.


But I think I did bad. :facepalm: Hope I passed! I seriously DO NOT WANT TO retake this course .

How did everyone else do ?

Time for some sleep tonight. I'm so tired = = Accounting study day tomorrow ... then ITM on the weekends ! :lol:

[zing145]

Cheers SauFung, much appreciated. :)

I wrote the FIN300 exam today as well, and some parts were brutal lol.

First 20 questions, I thought I was going to get at least 90%, but then came those PV tax shield questions. I gave up at the end, and guessed at least 8 or 9.

[Direct]

Finance 300 exam was the worst thing since Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize,

honest to God everyone who I talekd to said they guessed on atleast 10 questions and didnt know how to do another 10-15.

Lets hope for a nie fat bellcurve.

[geokilla]

ECN 104 was horrible.... I hope I pass >.<

Next up. ACC 110!

[Fluid]

I kinda miss the first year stressful times. I got an exam tomorrow and am planning to play some Black Ops soon and get 8+ hours of sleep.

[zing145]

The funny thing is, the FIN300 exam could have been alot worse had it not been for the tutorial and lyryx labs. Gave us some crucial practice and I'm sure that's what's going to get me the pass lol.

And it's horrible we had to write the exam next to some elective class writing their essays. The tables were crap (especially mine which had a couple screws missing) and with the clown next you constantly writing and making the table shake, pretty annoying and distracting.

what i dont understand is that why cant they supply as with all the formulas needed for the questions...memorizing formulas are a *****, anyways got a quick question..does anyone have any experience with taking acc110 online? or any online accounting courses?, im lookin to re up my mark..but decidin if i should take it online or at school.

I took acc406 online during spring-summer 2010. It was a pretty average experience. I strongly dislike accounting and dreaded doing it for the full 3 months but it ended up being really laid back and easy. Since it was online both midterms were open book (not sure if it'll be like that if you take online during winter semester) and the final was cumulative. If you rely on professor help and feedback, you will not like it online. It was hard to get used to forcing myself to read and teach myself a chapter a week without having to go to classes and NO interaction from the professor but at the end I just studied like crazy and did really well. I'm taking more courses online this upcoming summer but NOT accounting since I imagine upper year accounting courses would be very difficult online.

Despite the much harder course load than 1st semester; I'm not spending as much time or getting as stressed. Granted, part of that is my work ethic is a lot better than it was then and my exam schedule wasn't too bad, but its amazing how we adapt and don't even know it.

I'm sure 2-3 years from now the posters above stressing over 1st year BM will feel the same way

Thanks for the heads up. There's only the 2 profs doing FIN 300 next semester. I'm in Holmes class already so I guess I'll just stick with her.

[ymdreams]

Never had Pressman but I had it with Chua in Winter 2010. She was awesome to say the least. QMS202 is all about hypothesis testing and steps. The detailed slides she provides make all the concepts crystal clear plus the tests are in the exact same format as the practice sheets she gives. Go to class (although you don't even need to since the slides are enough), practice the sheets and you're golden.

On another note, if people have general questions check out @askmeru on twitter, people at Ryerson actually answering questions :-0

how did u find fin701?

hey i was wondering if anyone has recommended problems for each chapter for fin300 for the fundamentals of corporate finance 6th edition. i have anderson and he doesn't give any recommended problems and I am behind in the course and do not have time to do every question in preparation for the final. thanks

not too bad, for some reason I was expecting a lot more questions

less technical questions than i expected, I didn't think it was too bad

you?

Every problem is solvable using the calculator if you know what to input except for a few that requires equations. ie. exponential growth. FIN 300 was not a hard course when I took it, but that might have changed over the years...

im just a bit disappointed because i expect to get an A+ in this course, not A tho

[xxklipse]

Wait.. so some exam marks are up? I thought they release on Dec 25... or is that the GPA thing you get from whole course itself?

[v-unit]

Do you guys think they'll bell curve the FIN300 exam at all? I mean...I got 24/50...I would literally take out a loan that I know I can't pay back just to get that 25/50.

Does anyone know?? Do they ever bell curve?

EDIT-Just this one and my marketing one were posted on my BB. No other courses yet though.

[thetis]

its not GPA, and out of all final exam i have finished, only fin mark is up
it totally depends on profs if they want to release it early or not

From what I recall from the FIN300 outline- the rule to pass is as long as the midterm and final marks average out to a 50% or higher, you'll gain credit. Just a FYI for people who were spooked by the FIN300 final. /took it in the summer *hides*


Stocks and capital budgeting aren't the greatest topics, I know. Were some of you thrown off by that crazy standard deviation of portfolio formula or whatever it is? Theory, let me guess, the SML line stuff and portfolio stuff killed many.

Thanks for that I'm gonna check the outline right now.

I was fine with capital budgeting honestly. Finding the NPV, IRR, NPV of the whole project (Cash flow, capital spending, net working capital and the CCA tax shield - although for some reason I was always off like 10 dollars on the CCA answer) but the stupid stock valuations. I knew NONE of it. I thought I knew 75% but I obviously didn't as I got 48% on the exam. Not to mention there were like 30 questions on that subject.

For FIN300 the requirement is to obtain 50% or higher in the course to gain the credit. The final does not need to be passed in order to pass the course. The FIN401 outline specifically states this so I don't know why they don't just put it in the FIN300 outline also. I have a friend retaking FIN300 this semester to boost his original C- from the first time he took it.

LOL who made this?!

I'm going crazy over Cash Flow statements and some stuff from after mid-term 2 for the ACC 110 exam this afternoon. Should've studied harder >.>

Time to search the previous pages!

[v-unit]

For FIN300 the requirement is to obtain 50% or higher in the course to gain the credit. The final does not need to be passed in order to pass the course. The FIN401 outline specifically states this so I don't know why they don't just put it in the FIN300 outline also. I have a friend retaking FIN300 this semester to boost his original C- from the first time he took it. He told me that the exam had so many questions from the final chapter that was taught during the final week. Most students seemed to not study that chapter as much.

Are you serious...??? Thank god. Looks like I'm finishing with a 58 which is fine considering I failed the 50% final. Kind of a life saver. I checked the outline and couldn't find anything on it so I assume you are right, it's probably just like any course where you just need to pass.

Now if I could just pass stupid GEO110 lol. Everything else should be 3.0 at the minimum but finance and particularly, geography, are killing me.

sup guys
i m in probation with ryerson right now , what happend i am in Engineering but i m desperately tryn to swtich but since my gpa is so low they wont allow me . and This semester i was placed on probation i was doing pretty well with everything till the Finals .. i m scared i m not able to get the 2.0 gpa

what are the possibilities i have if i dont get the GPA and what will happen ?

[goJays]

read the probation contract that you signed, there is no excuses or special conditions. i believe you will have to serve a suspension, if not expulsion.. giving you time to rethink what u NEED to do.

[tnguyenviet]

If you find yourself failing - come to the forums less. Go to the library with a group and study OFFline. You'll notice you do much better than coming here constantly asking questions and what not. Truth.

[ca2pro1]

Lol these are the reasons why Ryerson has such a crappy rep. Students don't take academics seriously enough to do well. They definitely need to raise the entrance bar to weed out the underachievers.

[v-unit]

For the probation guy - you should talk to your student achievement office and get an appointment with someone to weed out any options available.

It's funny everyone says a Ryerson diploma means nothing unless it's from their business program. Our entrance bar was 84% when I applied and apparently it's going up each year. Should definitely do that with other programs too, like our engineering, for example.

Don't you research your schools? It changes every year and last year it was 83-84%

so between engineering and business program, which one requires higher mark? just curious

The thing about engineering, unlike business, is it has more difficult pre-req courses from highschool, so saying the average cutoff for business is higher is irrelevant, as it comes from easier courses. Additionally once you are in engineering, the entire faculty has courses which are considered much more difficult than anything else ryerson offers, including their business program and as such is on a different grade scale.

[xxklipse]

Just got home from the ACC110 exam. The exam was doable, but I made a lot of stupid mistakes now that I think about it. Hopefully 60+ ? :confused:

NO! once i get my designation doesn't matter what school you go to, it's like passing a standardized test.

im sure you're feeling confident now about accounting from the level of difficulty in grade 11 and 12 accounting but I can tell you now that I've seen a lot of people in first year believing they have a set path in accounting and seeing that path change completely from year to year.

Don't worry, lol, I believe you engineers have it harder than us. Our schedule's don't compare although we have to take courses like Economics, Statistics, Accounting and Finance. Besides those, you have us beat (probably)

+1. Once you get in though, the courses can get pretty difficult, but still a joke.

IIRC first acceptance cutoff was around 83-85

^ 75-80% the year I applied, then it bumped to 77-83% last time I heard.


Looks like Occupier's Liability will play a big role on the LAW 122 final (Hint: assume it's in Ontario unless specified otherwise). Monro went over the SoG supplement and Consumer Protection Act, which was pretty helpful. Only one time chance to see her, seems like a nice (deep down) and knowledgeable woman but pretty strict. Just like one of those respect-her-and-she'll-return-the-favor profs though her exams are really hard apparently...

but i was tested on that act in 2nd midterm, all i can say is that you should pay attention to the person who enters the premise, does he commit a criminal act? does he get hurt because the occupier act with reckless etc. so you can determine which liability that person is owed to

Anyone who has Jane Monroe, can they shed some light on how difficult her midterms were or any thing to watch out for like tricks she plays with wordings etc. It would be really helpful! Thanks

I think the ranking thing is only there if your prof makes it an option for you to see it. I only have one class where my prof shows it and the rest don't. IIRC, the previous poster who saw his ranking had Sergiy rahkmayil as their prof, thats the same prof for me that I can see my ranking.

depending on the prof, they might let you write it at a later exam date i.e, closer to the 18th

for u of t at least, you have to write it the next semester

those are two possibilities

If you're buying the $99 metropass, you can get it at any TTC subway station.

all i can recommend is to read the question and answers 3-4 times to make sure what its asking for, IMO its important to read carefully EVERY word in the question and answers
ie: question asks what is best remedy for a case? (worth 2 point)
a. remedy A
b. remedy B
c. remedy C
d. remedy A and B
remedy A is the best, B is great too but it is the 2nd best
you will get 2 point if you choose a., 0 point if choose b. and c. and 1 point if choose d.
i also notice most of the time when a question has an answer like d., it tends to give you either 1 point or 2

another example is a question about nuisance ( i was tricked by this one but still get 1 point tho), its about a government building sth to block the plaintiff views, the answers are:
a. its not tort
b. if it is nuisance, then ... ( pay attention to the if)
c. a and b
the correct answer is c., choosing either a or b will give u 1 point

Second year, accounting major. I understand- there is like some much material to know haha. Hope we all do well.

Fiduciary relationships: one party is dominant over the other (on trust or confidence). Think of a patient and a doctor. To rebut the presumption of undue influence (abuse in the relationship to influence one and induce an agreement), the party has to prove that the transaction was fair to make the contract stand.
Unconscionable transaction: all one sided transactions that no right minded person would accept.

LOL I'm gonna be so bored. My social life fails :facepalm:

I'm leaving my house at like 7:15... Usually takes an hour to get to union, then 10 minutes to walk to MTCC. There better not be a delay like the Hitler video.

@Hangage. What homework...? You mean studying right?
Leave Hitler out of this.

"In order to pass this course, students must achieve an average mark of at least 50% across all
tests, including the final exam"

ITM102 exam was sooo bad
the questions were incoherent and sloppily done, some of them didn't even make sense and weren't complete, and missing necessary details
how did they expect us to do well, when half the questions didn't even follow the text
man, i went in with an 87 in that course and now i don't even know if im gonna get a credit cuz you need to pass the exam to pass the course

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not :lol:

I was so mad when I saw the "marks will not be lost for incorrect answers" part. Did it once, then went over it again then I just left. Ross and Norrie and them were all having fun :lol:
