Is scott library open during these no-class days? I need to take out a book from there ASAP.

[delilahlovesyou]

oh your right it is only 6.0 credit nats...I guess it just seemed like 9.0 because it's three times a week.

[AndrewShev]

Let's hope not. I'm going to make it very clear that we're not going to be playing games all the time in all my pitches.

then you would probably need to come up with more "scientific name" other than "video games bla bla bla". Try something like, "science and society club" or "information highway and the society". Today i would say people are more crazy about facebook and blackberry than video games. So think about how bb and internet f.cks up the new generation.

I'm interested in joining some academic and advocacy clubs at York. Where do you register exactly?

I tried contacting the uni. But still yet to get a reply and I'm unable to find info on their site. I'm looking to transfer my credits from centennial college in international business to the York international business business administration. Do they accept application for winter or is it only fall. I'm also looking for the business technology management program at Ryerson. They told me that it's only for fall, but I'm transferring my credits and not a first year is it true


Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Instead of contacting York, you should contact Schulich through the phone and asking them directly. You can call the undergraduate programs unit at 416-736-5081. According to their website, there is only ONE entry point per year for BOTH the BBA and IBBA programs (September of each year), so you will most likely not be able to start in winter. Even though you have some credits already from college, some of those credits may not be transferable (So if you took 10 credits last year at Centennial, maybe only 6 of those credits will count towards your university degree). Just give Schulich a call and see if they can give you more information on what your next steps should/could be.

Perhaps. I want to find other like minded individuals first before we brainstorm ideas for the name.

Not sure if anyone can answer this but, I'm going to be graduating in October.
Not enrolled in any courses for this upcoming term. But I'd like to use the gym, my YU card expires in April. Can I still get in for the gym?

To anyone who has taken both 6-credit and 9-credit ged. ed. courses:

Are 9-credit courses significantly more difficult than 6-credit courses?

Uhh I'd say theres more work to do. Can't say that it's difficult since they're both completely different subjects for me. 9cred courses may be 4 hours of class per week, whereas 6cred courses are 3 hours per week.

You'd have to pay for the original membership fee of $80?
Or try applying for the alumni card now. You only get like $10 discount anyway.

oh your right it is only 6.0 credit nats...I guess it just seemed like 9.0 because it's three times a week.

for your first year you can do the 3 program course rather than the 4 courses. What I mean is you take a 9credit SOSC, 9 Credit HUMA and a 6 credit NATS and you offcially done your first year, rather than taking the 4x6 credit courses which includes the 6 credit MODR.

9 credit course are usually 2x2hr's per week. 6 credit are 2lecuture plus 1lab/tut.


BTW, i work at YorkU. If you have questions let me know.

[superwell]

ohh lol. No idea what the "system analyst" does... something from sociology?

No..I basically work on every issue for the whole university (not alone) except for student labs....different department. The system for you guys to get into residence..taken care of by us, the system that checks your marks/status...all of students services...us too. And everything in between...including all the professors..and no I can't get you the exams before hand :) And I will also clear up the parking thing for all you guys that "seem" to know how it works. Basically if you get parking tickets and dont pay..you dont get your diploma. Period. Now people will say if I take my dad's car...etc..etc..but it doesn't work..if it's registered to the same address it matters...that's all. If you decide your going to use your friends car or relative's car that doesn't even live with you..they got that covered also..since they always have your name...with your name and student number goes the charges..so when you graduate no matter what you drive or live...your name and student number are the same and all charges...including bookstore/library and parking go with you.

I'm taking my daughter and her bf to the guided campus tour tomorrow. I went with my daughter the first time we did the tour but now I'd rather get some work done while they go on the tour.

Is there a free wifi hotspot (perhaps in the food court area?) that is unsecured and accessible to anyone? Or do I need to leave the campus?

TIA

If your daughter or her bf has a York account then you can use their login for AirYork.
Or you can try your luck by Vanier, or another residence area, hoping someone forgot to add a pssw to their network.

Does anyone know of any good gym's near York University? I know they have one on campus, but it doesn't really look too good and it seems like it'll get really crowded. I'll be living on campus so something within walking/busing distance is preferred. I know there's a goodlife fitness, but those are usually on the expensive side. Any suggestions welcome!

Yeah, the weight room at Tait McKenzie can get pretty packed but I've had absolutely no problems with it being overcrowded early in the morning. If I'm not mistaken, McLaughlin College has a gym open 24/7 so you could try that out as well (I'm not apart of that college so I don't know much regarding overcrowding or it being a good facility). As far as a good gym outside of York, I really wouldn't know of one.

Hey guys, I'm a third year BAS marketing student and I need some suggestions on taking a 3 credit elective.

[cmx1o1]

Hey guys, I'm a third year BAS marketing student and I need some suggestions on taking a 3 credit elective.

ADMS 4515 Internal Audit with Larry Yarmolinsky if he is still gonna teach it. Great prof, incorporates his experiences as an auditor into the course so his lectures are not boring at all. His exams are easy which is pretty much all application base and is based on the cases you hand in. So if you do them you're set.

If you put some effort, you should at least end up with a B+. Good luck!

Early in the morning as in what time? While I like working out in the morning, I'm an eighteen year old that will be living away from his parents for the first time so the chances of late nights/waking up late will be high:o

I never really had any problems with it being overcrowded and for $10 for the whole year you can't really complain :razz:.

Lectures (LECT). No matter what your program, you will be expected to attend lectures. These usually consist of a professor lecturing to a room of students (anywhere from 50 to 500 in years one and two). Lectures will focus on assigned readings and provide information for small-group discussion.

Tutorials (TUTR). These follow lectures (though not always on the same day) and are composed of a small group of students (15-30) discussing course material. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussion. Tutorials are taught by professors or teaching assistants (TAs).

Nearly all courses have lectures, but not all courses have tutorials.

Lectures are geared towards large groups of students. Tutorials are where you're broken up into smaller groups. There's more emphasis on discussion/participation in tutorials.

Okay so im first year student..and im confused whats the difference between a turtorial and lecture?..:facepalm:
A lecture is when the professor actually lectures on the course material. A tutorial is when you get together in smaller groups and the teacher's assistant answers questions and clarifies concepts discussed during the lecture.

[superwell]

Okay so im first year student..and im confused whats the difference between a turtorial and lecture?..:facepalm:

Dont forget ..or you may not know yet...you are not marked for attendence for Lecture..you are for Tutorial. At the end of the day your an adult..the university treats you like one. If you don't want to attend a course you don't need your mommy to sign you out...you just dont show up...your house wont get a call that you skipped...they dont care. If you attend you learn if you dont oh well. As far a lecture like many have said it's a large group...sometimes 4-500 students that are all facebooking :) j/k well some are, the rest are txt'n their friends. The tuturials are the same 4-500 students broken down in groups of 20-30, which most, but not always it taught by the TA rather than the professor. Depending on how you learn and take it all in, will depend on if you need to attend both, one or for some students none at all. Most students you will find as you progress into your second semester and on don't go to lecture and go only to tutorial to pick up what was said in lecture...you decide.

[jperras]

There are two different courses at York that I'm interested in and I would really like to take the both of them this year, except the lecture times are conflicting. The Geog 1000 course has 2 lectures per week, but one of them falls during a lecture for another course I'm taking. It would be like this for the entire fall/winter term. So I would basically be missing 1 lecture (or half of 2 lectures) per week.

Does anyone have any advice to offer on whether I can get into any trouble from the university by doing this? I figure as long as I pay for my courses and my marks are ok then all should be well. Unless there might be some rules about this which I am unaware of.

No trouble, they dont care what you sign up for or do...it's up to you to be at class. I have personally taken the GEOG1000 course and poss...the second one your thinking about if your major is Geography and I would say that missing a lecture in 1000 if you have professor Wood, is a no-no...you need every class with her. Last time is was Dr. Flusty for the first half and Wood for the second...with Flusty if you miss one it's not to bad.

[jacobe]

Who's going to frosh? Yorkfest?

Random question but are there any good barber shops near York within busing distance.

[Nazey]

Thanks for the advice and info everyone :)

[yorkubro]

Hey everyone!

Anyone that has actually had their orientation (academic one), can you tell everyone what actually goes down?

And is it worth going to?

[umop]

I went to academic orientation when I was starting first year (this was 3 years ago).

I found it a waste of time to be honest. They go over basic information that's already available online.

90% of what they told us I already knew. They said it was mandatory but you won't really miss anything big if you don't go.

[newgame99]

I'm not affiliated with any college, right now. Am I suppose to? If so how?

No worries, the university will assign one to you. If you are not living on campus then it depends on your major.

Oishi Sushi at Keele & Steeles is barely food court quality. Not good/clean etc.

Better: Thai Bamboo east of Keele on Steeles. Way higher quality. Not as affordable though but worth a few more $.

I ate there last week with a couple of friends and one girl told me that a few of her friends don't like eating at Oishi because it didn't taste that great. I guess it's hit or miss since I've really had no problems with it.

Anyone take HUMA 1970 worlds of childhood? I saw a posting a few days ago of a student selling their books. They all appear to be children's books with the exception of friere's pedagogy.

Hi

I am a first year student. I paid my Minimum Payment from the bank this week for the Fall semester courses (all 3 credit courses). I have another $2500 to pay for the Winter semester (all the courses that I am enrolled are 3 credit courses), when is the deadline to pay this other half? Is the deadline sometime in December or January?

Thanks alot!

[potassiumchlorate]

My question is probably stupid, but for my OSAP pickup, its says for me to bring "A void cheque or banking information with your name and address of your bank, account number, transit number and branch ID number."

I don't have cheques, so I have to bring banking information. So what banking information do I bring? I only have some documents when I first started my bank account, my bank card, and my passbook. Are these acceptable? My bank is TD is that helps.

Go to TD bank and ask the teller to give you a Void Cheque. It looks like a simple page with your account information. This page will contain all the info that is required for York.

Yes you can use it if you included your mom's name in the documents somewhere. Just don't forget to tell her to sign it. Honestly, i think York doesn't give a rat's ass who pays for your education. They only need the money and they won't care where it came from ;)

I'm a Glendon student and I'm taking one course at Keele this year. ADMS 2500. The bookstore website says it is an e-book, and currently not available.

go here: http://bookstore.yorku.ca/index_nocache.cfm?index=TextbookSearch&course_display_format=2

add the courses you took, then it will show you the optional and required books. Personally I wait until the first day to get confirmation from the professor because there have been some occasions where they said that even the required textbook is optional. So it's up to you.

Im a first year student and was just wondering if we have tutorials during the first week?

[ZeroToHero]

Im a first year student and was just wondering if we have tutorials during the first week?

usually not, but some profs/tas do introductions during them if for example a Tutorial is on Monday and a Lecture is on Friday. So find out for yourself. Check ur York email, cuz cancellation notices of tutorials usually end up there

Hi, I recently switched majors and now I'm with the LA&PS faculty. I'm a bit confused with the general ed requirements. I need a total of 18 credits, and it lists 4 areas. Do I have to spread my 18 credits over all 4 of them. Or can I just do 6 credits in 3 of those.

Hmmm, so I'm taking a 9 Humanities and 6 Natural Science this year. So for next year, I have to take a 6 in another area or can I just take another Humanities?

[YaBoi]

For the credits outside the major (18 credits including econ 1000, econ 1010), can we take gen ed courses for the two 6.0 credits? such as Nats 1675 and Nats 1880?

Im in BAS- accounting

Hmmm, so I'm taking a 9 Humanities and 6 Natural Science this year. So for next year, I have to take a 6 in another area or can I just take another Humanities?

The next 6 has to be from a third area.

Gen Eds don't count towards the outside the major requirement.


Credits Outside the Major

Credits outside the major are courses which are intended to broaden the educational experience of students beyond their area of specialization. Credits outside the major include most courses which are not used to fulfill the general education requirements or major/minor requirements. Please refer to programs of study section for program specific information.

Courses which are not considered as fulfilling the credits outside the major requirement:

* major/minor courses taken above the required number, non-major/minor courses taken within the major/minor subject (e.g. AP/FR 1020 6.00 is a non-major French course);
* courses outside the major/minor taken to fulfill major/minor requirements;
* courses which are cross-listed or designated as course substitutes to courses offered by the major/minor program (e.g. SC/MATH 1530 3.00 is cross-listed to AP/ECON 1530 3.00 );
* cross-listed courses used to fulfill the major requirements may not also be used to fulfill the outside the major credits requirement.

quick question.
Does anyone know when the final exam schedule is usually up? I am planning a trip in December. Hoping my one exam is before the 10th, 4th year class

Late October-ish

Since the Exam period is 8th to 22nd. I won't bet on it being on the first two days.

Any suggestions for courses to take for the credits outside major?

Nope. It's not working for me either. I've been trying for a while now.

Reframe from using the add/course on my yorku during the evening and night, you would not be able to access the student portal because of high traffic. I'm only able to make changes during the morning, good luck. Do not forget you will be charged $ 15/ per course, the prices will increase next month.

You get graded based on how well you do on the midterm and final.

[umop]

Does anyone know where to get that form you have to fill out if you've been put on OSAP probation (the one where you explain why you've been put on probation)? It is available online or do you have to get it in person? (or does anyone have a copy saved by any chance?)

Edit: The form is called "Academic Progress Explanation Letter". You can search that on google and it'll come up.

[MikeyPyro]

how are online courses? I plan on taking one but I want to know what's the format like from anyone who has taken an online course.

it varies a lot from course to course. Some offer videos of a lecture, some just offer a lot of notes, some tell you to just read some stuff then you gotta just show up to exams, some make you hand in assignments online every week or every once in a while. Could be a mix of all of those. They are all wildly different depending on the course itself, and of course the professor.

Overall it has been a positive experience for me, I've taken about 3 or 4 of them.


edit: btw I have a myeconlab code that I never used so whoever bought a used textbook or doesn't have myeconlab code for whatever reason, I'll sell it for cheaper than the stores do.

Here's my desperate cry for help guys: I am a second year criminology major and in comparison with last year, there has been a change of professors and TAs for the second year required CRIM courses. I am in panic mode right now because I have no idea what I'm getting myself into so if you could let me know anything about any of following TAs, I would be ever so thankful to you! Please rely ASAP!!! Listed below are the TAs for each course:


CRIM 2650:
- Nicholas Bastine
- Myles Wieselman
- Nachshon Goltz
- Mona Zarifian

CRIM 2652:
- Andreas Georgiu
- Marlene Mendonca
- Christina Holligshead
- Abhinava Kumar
- Jianlan Zhu

SOCI 2030:
- I haven't attended the lecture yet nor is there any syllabus up on the course website. If you have taken this course before, please recommend a TA you have heard good word about or you know would be a good choice.

Thanks a bunch in advance guys!

First of all, you shouldn't be concerned about profs and TA since different people have different preferences. One TA i had was a bit.h noone except me got a long with her, so it depends.

Now some reviews.

Myles. He is a very simple guy. He doesn't try to show off, and if you have any questions, just approach him with "Yo, Myles".. He is that simple.

Nachshon He is one of my TA's too this year. I don't think that he is that bad.

Andreas He is another TA for one of my classes this year, and I think that he'd be tough. He is already a PhD, and he is pretty old. I'd assume he will be a bit cocky and will try to show off his ego. I may be wrong.

SOCI2030. Well, if your prof is Fred Diamond, then you are fu.ked up already and no TA will help you. But if you get a chance to get a young guy (Josh i believe) that has a beard, then he is really nice. He is very unorganized, but he knows that he is and he is pretty funny about it lol. If you have a girl named Krista, then she is ok too. She looks smart, and she will load you with work. My final paper was over 40 pages long, and she still wasn't happy about it. But it's worth attending her tutorials just because she is HOT..

Andreas is a horrible TA, doesn't do **** in class and it is very hard to understand what he's saying as he grumbles a LOT. He also doesn't have an e-mail and laptop as his last gf apparently stole his laptop (not sure about this year). Nicholas Bastine is pretty good, very happy dude that gets discussions going, he took over for Andreas for a bit when Andreas didn't like the current prof.

When can you enroll in winter term courses? They are reserved when I try to enroll. Also, is taking a 6 credit course in one term doable?

errr you were supposed to enroll in winter courses when you enrolled in your fall courses in the summer when enrolment opened for you. Between now and Winter you can add a course whenever you like (for the winter semester).

I did a 6 credit course in one semester in my first year, and it was a 3000 level course at that. Downside is that it's really time consuming, two 3 hour classes per week put me to sleep but it's definitely possible if you're down for that. Just expect more classes, and possibly increased workload if it's the type of course that actually has homework and not just lecturing.

Thanks dude. For SOCI2030, I have Professor Tracy Andrew Spuruniuk.
Haha and I'm glad to hear you were attending every tutorial with Krista due to her hotness.
Is Myles a hard marker? Given that I will put in every ounce of effort into assignments and turn them in on time etc etc.

I never had Myles as a TA, but my friend had him and he said that he never had any problems with him. I haven't heard anything about Tracy. I think she is a new prof. Just make sure that you attend all turorials and show them that you do really care about your mark and that you will try your best to get a good grade.

[thillrep27]

has anyone taken EATS 1410?

[umop]

has anyone taken EATS 1410?

Yeah, with Mary Ann Jenkins.

Assignments were easy, tests were a little harder but she ended up dropping our lowest test mark.

Going to class was pointless. I didn't even buy the book. I just studied the slides and ended up getting an A. I wouldn't call it a bird course, but I didn't find it that hard.

[Doodlez]

Thanks so much- I definitely dodged a bullet with Andreas; how was Bastine's marking? So far, he is exactly as you say he is, very happy and really likes to get discussion fired up and he likes to really breakdown a concept until everyone understands. But is he willing to give at least a few As?

[hinjamz]

I had the opportunity to be in Bastine's 2650 tutorial last year. Tutorials are fun. His marking is pretty fair but you still have to work for the A. In order to get the A, you have to define the concept that's asked and expand and relate with other course material. Last year, the tricky part was to have it done in a concise manner. Nicholas appears to like answers short and sweet. Also, he's one of those guys that you can find up in the Ross Building and have a nice chat, whether it's about school or girls. LOL. I think his office is back in Osgoode this year ? He's doing his PhD in law, so if you're interested in attending law school, he has a lot to share. :lol::lol:

How do I make friends lol? I didn't attend frosh. All of my friends from high school went to other universities and colleges. During the first week I didn't even interact with anyone except for this girl who started a convo with me. I don't live on campus either.

Try starting up a conversation with those who sit around you in lectures/tutorials. You'll be surprised with how many people are afraid to initiate a conversation. You probably won't be friends with most of the people you talk to but you'll definitely find a couple to have lunch with or chill with.

I want to drop a course for the fall term, and re-add the same course for my winter term. Will this have any effect on the course fees that I've already paid for? I don't want to drop a course and end up having to pay again.

So I currently have this course (NATS 1840) during the fall term, but I want to switch it over to the winter term because it fits my schedule better. But when I try to switch, this shows up:

"The spaces in this course are reserved. Please contact the department for further information."

Who should I talk to about this?

[yoyogu]

My friend wants to de-enroll from york and take some time off. They are de-enrolled from all courses and everything and haven't paid a deposit or anything. What do they have to do to actually "de-enroll" and consider themselves removed from the system.

if you park at 6:50pm you should be fine. that gives you about 10min to get to class.

i parked there during this years fall, winter and summer semester and never gotten a ticket once during my 7-10 classes. this was 3-4 days a week.

I saw some posts about how to make friends at York. I have to say its a little tough, York is huge and people seem to be divided by racial groups. Just say hi to the person next to you and ask what year they're in and sit beside them every class. Ask them if they wanna study. If they say no? Then whatever, lol their lost. Missed a cool friend!

As for clubs just go to their offices and talk to someone there.

Here are a few clubs that actually have regular meetings and activities so you can meet people:

YDS, York Debate Society. Really well organized club that teaches you to debate and do public speaking.
AIESEC. Also another organized club housed in the Schulich building for students interested in participating in international internships, or helping students from aboard score an internship in Canada.
Any sports clubs
The CHRY radio station on the 3rd floor of the student centre has lots of volunteer positions, you can meet tonnes of people there.

Club week is next week I think? So check that out. But be sure to ask if the clubs you're interested in actually have you actively participate. A lot of these social clubs just have you pay a membership fee and all you get out of it is a card and invites to events where you don't know anyone, but everyone knows each other.

I never liked student life at York but man there are so many hot girls that are just down to chill!!!!! Just spot out those really quiet looking cuties in class that look around a lot. Sit down and say "HI WHATS YOUR NAME". Aw and Blueberry Hill. Damn I miss York!!

Speaking from my own experience, ECON 1000 was a very easy course. I took the course with Professor Song and both the exams were all multiple choices, midterm worth 40% and the final was 60%. Questions were straight from the course texts, simple calculations and graph readings. However, I did hear other profs were more challenging.

Also, POLS 1000 with Professor Plekhanov was a mediocre course. I think it really depends on the TA that you have. I was lucky to get a good TA and I managed to walk away from the course with a good mark.

[CSIFan29]

I am looking at the BAS and BA in Business and Society, or BPA, can anyone comment on any of these? I'm wondering if majority of the courses are based on midterm and exams (what kind of questions: multiple choice, short answer, etc.) or written papers?

I LOVE THE CONSTRUCTION ON KEELE NEAR FINCH.

sometimes i roll down my window and breathe in the sweet dusty air while i spend 15 minutes driving a block out.

lol, when I was at my academic orientation before classes began, we were told the construction was for a new Subway being built. Its supposed to completed by 2016, so get used to it for the next 5 years. :razz:

I am looking at the BAS and BA in Business and Society, or BPA, can anyone comment on any of these? I'm wondering if majority of the courses are based on midterm and exams (what kind of questions: multiple choice, short answer, etc.) or written papers? Looking to be a teacher (well, that's one option... lol).

The are all very different.

BAS will be mostly business courses, so mostly exams
Business and Society is Social Science courses so there will be lots of research papers
BPA is a half & half blend of business courses and political science. Best (worst?) of both worlds

If you want to teach check out the concurrent education program.

I saw some posts about how to make friends at York. I have to say its a little tough, York is huge and people seem to be divided by racial groups. Just say hi to the person next to you and ask what year they're in and sit beside them every class. Ask them if they wanna study. If they say no? Then whatever, lol their lost. Missed a cool friend!

As for clubs just go to their offices and talk to someone there.

Here are a few clubs that actually have regular meetings and activities so you can meet people:

YDS, York Debate Society. Really well organized club that teaches you to debate and do public speaking.
AIESEC. Also another organized club housed in the Schulich building for students interested in participating in international internships, or helping students from aboard score an internship in Canada.
Any sports clubs
The CHRY radio station on the 3rd floor of the student centre has lots of volunteer positions, you can meet tonnes of people there.

Club week is next week I think? So check that out. But be sure to ask if the clubs you're interested in actually have you actively participate. A lot of these social clubs just have you pay a membership fee and all you get out of it is a card and invites to events where you don't know anyone, but everyone knows each other.

I never liked student life at York but man there are so many hot girls that are just down to chill!!!!! Just spot out those really quiet looking cuties in class that look around a lot. Sit down and say "HI WHATS YOUR NAME". Aw and Blueberry Hill. Damn I miss York!!

I'd encourage people to check out the new YU Connect platform for club and event info:
https://yorku.collegiatelink.net/

Involvement wise, those clubs are pretty solid. I'd also advise you to connect to either your department club and college council for other events. They're pretty welcoming once you drop in and say you're interested in being involved.

[HowEver]

I wondered if that as a York site, and found this:
http://yuconnect.yorku.ca/faq/for-students/

So I gather it is legit, but it would look better without the spelling and html errors.

Any great barbers around York University or in North York? Doesn't even have to be that close, just looking for a great cut. Since moving here I can't find a barber that can cut hair.

in north york there is only 2 people I trust with my hair. One is a woman named fatima who works at centre point mall (there are 3 hair cut places there, she works at the one closest to the entrance next to canadian tire), and the other one is an asian woman who works at the same place whose name I'm forgetting. I'm kind of picky too but they're really nice and listen for exactly what you want, especially the first one.

Near the university itself...can't say I can help you, been hit or miss.

There's a barbershop on Four Winds Drive. 10-15 minute walk from York. I've never had my hair cut there but I saw it when I was getting food from the plaza there.

Anyone here ever go to the pool during "lane swim" times at the Mckenzie center?

My classes eat up most of the slots, but I'm wondering if there is any point in going to a lets say 11:30- 1:30 time slot at 12:30.

It says the pool will be divided into three lanes? how many swimmers does this mean? Basically I am wondering if I go late during the Lane swim will there be no more spot for me to swim? Will I not even be allowed in?

I really want to take advantage of the pool but with these limited times it's going to be tough:(

I just moved to Toronto from New Brunswick and am living on campus in the Atkinson Res, taking human rights/international law.

Anyone want to be my friend? I am a pretty cool guy, no homo. You could come to my place and we could bond over funny youtube videos.

Seriously, I am having a hard time meeting people here, it's not like the Maritimes!

Anyone go to the Nas show at Rexall last night?

stay here for a while. We need to get to know you before coming over to your place...

[HowEver]

First thing, you might be a really good person, but lose the homophobia, "pretty cool guy, no homo." Chances are 10% or more of the people you will meet here are gay, but even if it was none or just one: stop it; learn to get along with everyone, and people will befriend you and respect you too.

You say you are taking "human rights/international law." You know you can get bounced from that for expressing such views in the wrong context, right? Worse, you are going to miss out on great experiences and meeting great people this way. Some might even be from the same place you are from.

I hope you get to meet people and explore the city, as it's not as friendly as the Maritimes but there is a lot on offer.

*******************

man, get used to this forum. It is full of trolls who think they are so awesome and if they study at uni, then they belong to some sort of royal group. Don't take everything said here serious. The truth is that Toronto (perhaps equally to Montreal) is crowded with homosexual people, whether you like it or not, and some people, even if they don't support this kind of relationship, still try to act in a liberal way, because liberalism nowadays is "popular" and is rapidly evolving.

Anyways, if you want to chill on campus or something, let me know. I have some spare time during the week.

Thats more than enough time, I believe they kick you out 10 minutes before its over. The lanes are divided into 6 lanes, 3 different speed(slow, medium, fast). Fast lane is people who can do laps no problem, and medium is for people who need a breather here and there. I doubt you need the slow lane if your asking about swimming. Lemme know if you have anymore Q's

I also have a conflict, but honestly, the TA nor the prof gave a sh-t about it. They all say to fill out a tutorial switch form, and at the end they can't do anything due to "a fire regulation policy".

[surfwax35]

Thanks for your very informative response Shev.

I do work out, however mainly cardio. I have no desire to do anything other than lift some weights a few times a week.

I don't work a labour job so why would I bother spending all this time to sculpt my body, in my opinion it's all redundant as long as you eat well and exercise your heart.

Also, have you really not heard of Nas before?

i was using gym last year, but whenever i came, it was packed, so i had to wait in line to use the machine. Now i just go to the Community Centre right beside my house. I'd go there too, but i live in Mississauga, so i don't want to sit in my car covered with sweat..

Has anyone volunteered at York or volunteered somewhere else but got the placement through York? I'm thinking of signing up but I'm not sure how it all works. Where do I start? Is there a single, central listing service that shows all the positions available? Ideally, I'd like to volunteer on campus for an hour or two a week. Are there many opportunities at the Keele Campus? Is there a shortage or oversupply of volunteers at York? Do newcomers have a lot of choice? Is there anything I should be aware of?

You'd have to contact your faculty to open up a seat for you, if it was restricted they should have been able to do that for you at the appointment.

Also, something I've done several times is for courses that are full I've still shown up and attended lectures waiting on seats to open. I've always managed to get into the courses I wanted because people always drop.

Question about finances in our student accounts page. My current balance is in green then I click see all transactions. When I click that it shows me an updated balance with an amount like this: " -XXX.XX".

I don't owe anything because I already paid the amount needed which was in green on main page. The detailed page shows that I have paid for the green amount on main finances page. I also requested that I get reimbursed for YFS dental fees and it shows that it did give it back. Basically, I am confused about why it shows a negative amount after I paid the fees last month and the dental fees were already returned back. I paid everything and it gives the impression that there is still an amount owed? Please help as soon as possible.

PS. What is Flex on our YorkU student card?

Thanks.

A negative balance due mean you overpaid by xxx.xx amount. Means they owe you. You can request a refund on that or use it towards your future charges. Google "York request refund student statement"

Summer semester is not complicated, it is the same thing as a regular semester. There is no reading week though. Look up the specific course you want to take and it will show how the lectures are scheduled. From my experience, a 6 credit course will be 3hours lecture + 1tutorial.

When does summer school registration start? I don't know if I can balance summer school with other things full-time... What is everyone's experience when balancing outside activities that are full-time along with summer school (6 credit course) ?

It really depends on the 6 credit course you're taking. I took a psych course last summer and it was the worst course experience I've had to gone through at York but a couple of summers ago, I was fine taking 2x3 credit courses (introductory economic courses).

Even when the course load is light, it kinda sucks taking summer school because all your friends are hanging out while you're doing readings or in a lecture :cry:

[jacobe]

Summer semester is not complicated, it is the same thing as a regular semester. There is no reading week though. Look up the specific course you want to take and it will show how the lectures are scheduled. From my experience, a 6 credit course will be 3hours lecture + 1tutorial.

Thanked.

Thanks man.

Won't be able to use OSAP for summer school if below 60% course load right...?

[Nazey]

Hey guys, I need some help!

I am planning to take a NATS course for the winter, and I have narrowed down my choices to 2..

NATS 1745(History of astronomy with Metcalfe) vs. NATS 1910(Food, science, and technology with Richard Jarrell)

Does anyone know which one out of these would be the most "birdiest" easy A...etc..I know both are fairly easy (checked the fb group) but from your opinion, which one would be number 1 :D

Thanks guys! =)

I am currently taking NATS1745 with a different prof..and i ****ing hate it. Shes not helpful at all..the course im taking has no tutorial ...the assignments are ****ing confusing especially when none of her lectures relate to her assignments...i heard metcalfe is a great proff and she uses a different book aswell..wish i took it with her.

I had a friend who took nats1910 aced it with a A..she said the proff was good too.

[AndrewShev]

Won't be able to use OSAP for summer school if below 60% course load right...?

i think you would. max you take take in summer is 18credits (i guess) which is about 60% anyway.

[potassiumchlorate]

Which is easier? ADMS 1000 or ECON 1010?

[umop]

Which is easier? ADMS 1000 or ECON 1010?

It ultimately depends on which prof you get. Some are easy, others are difficult.

I took ADMS 1000 with Peter Modir and ECON 1010 with Cliff Jutlah. I found ADMS far easier but ECON wasn't too bad either.

Take this info with a grain of salt though. If you have a different prof for ADMS, the course may be a lot harder. Likewise, having a different prof for ECON may mean a significantly easier class.

If there's one thing I learned in university, it's to not judge a course based on the course title/description, but solely on the prof.

[cvferr]

Where can I get some academic advising? I want some advice on switching my major... should I speak with an advisor from the faculty I want to switch to or talk to an advisor from the faculty I'm currently with?

[Nazey]

i think you would. max you take take in summer is 18credits (i guess) which is about 60% anyway.

If 18 is max then wouldnt it be 100%..which would make 9 credits 60%??

Your current faculty doesn't know how the other faculties operate. Go directly to your destination faculty.


If 18 is max then wouldnt it be 100%..which would make 9 credits 60%??

A full course load (100%) is 15 credits per term, 9 credits will be the 60% load is all terms. 18 is the summer max by over-enrolling similar to taking 33 or 36 credits in the F/W terms.

I don't know if it will be held in the summer, but I've taken the course. The "cyber" part of it mostly comes from the fact that it's an online course. It's a course about the development, growth, and evolution of cities and communities. How its tied to transportation and job opportunities. Why different economic classes locate where they do.

From what I remember, we had an open-book at-home online multiple choice mid-term exam, an on-campus final exam, and two papers. Plus some online discussion participation.

give it to me then lol.

[Soorma]

I got the cheque also but I need help with this question urgent:

York gave us that degree audit tool now and I randomly tried it and it says I have not completed the minimum general education requirement where I must take a 1000 level Natural Science Course.
I took:

"SC/NATS 1930 6.00: General Education The Science of Computation"

and the audit clearly recognizes it is a general education course from natural science at 1000 level. It wants me to have completed instead these natural science courses:

"Still Required: 6 Credits from
SC/NATS 1500 3.00, SC/NATS 1510 3.00, SC/NATS 1520 3.00, SC/NATS 1530 3.00, SC/NATS 1540 3.00, SC/NATS 1610 6.00, SC/NATS 1620 6.00, SC/NATS 1650 6.00, SC/NATS 1660 6.00, SC/NATS 1670 6.00, SC/NATS 1675 6.00, SC/NATS 1680 6.00, SC/NATS 1690 6.00, SC/NATS 1700 6.00, SC/NATS 1710 6.00, SC/NATS 1720 6.00, SC/NATS 1730 6.00, SC/NATS 1740 6.00, SC/NATS 1745 6.00, SC/NATS 1750 6.00, SC/NATS 1760 6.00, SC/NATS 1775 6.00, SC/NATS 1780 6.00, SC/NATS 1790 6.00, SC/NATS 1810 6.00, SC/NATS 1820 6.00, SC/NATS 1830 6.00, SC/NATS 1840 6.00, SC/NATS 1850 6.00, SC/NATS 1855 6.00, SC/NATS 1860 6.00, SC/NATS 1870 6.00, SC/NATS 1880 6.00, SC/NATS 1910 6.00, SC/NATS 1920 6.00."

Have I just wasted time and money completing the 1930 NATS course? I am getting the impression that has happened since it is not on their list. Academic advising appointment system doesn't even work, please help.

Yep it's not on this list

But it might be grandfathered if it is not offered anymore. Call your home department, they will be able to help you.

This is so stupid, the academic advisor set me up with this course. When do I book an appointment now, the stupid site doesn't even allow people to book appointments until one day only. Since the course is not even on the general education list, will they still be able to give me credit to meet the requirement since it was a 1000 level course with 6 credits?

[AndrewShev]

when can i find this degree audit tool??

[Soorma]

http://www.yorku.ca/roweb/mydegreeprogress/index.php (new tool and not completely accurate apparently)

For everyone's reference. I got it through email. I am still frustrated that I was told to sign up for a course costing $1200 clearly meeting the requirements still and now the school may not recognize it. If academic advisor tells me that I have to do another course, is there a way I can take this higher?

[gibguitar]

How's the engineering program at York?

Easier (than other universities)? Brutal?

How about Geomatics Engineering?

The advisors imo are not that good or even qualified. Many things they are not aware but can find online at YorkU.
The appointments, online course selection is joke. It never works properly.:(

Got Bursary in account its quite large. I guess because of large OSAP.

[AndrewShev]

That degree requirements site say i need 36 credits of 3rd year of above, however i remember the advisor told me to take only 2 which are elective and 2 that are my major, total is 24. Where the f00k should i get another 12 credits??

Hi everyone, im wondering if anyone has had experience with a deferred fall exam, particularly in math?

This was my first time getting sick during the exam period, and i couldn't make it. I have the sick note and everything ready, im just curious of when i would have to write it. The exam was on Dec. 11, 2011 and this course (Math 2030) is also being taught next semester.

Thanks for your help.

Are you including your 4th year credits? those should make up 18 of the 36.

I hope you are right El Chico. When can we register for an appointment with academic advising for LAPS. Apparently it is only once a week at a specific time which is almost as stupid as the other thing...
I unno if calling makes a difference, I can imagine them telling me to just book appointment like they said when I tried going in-person twice.

faculty is not the same as the department. the faculty advising is available Tuesdays, 10am or noon, I forget which. You should call your Program Coordinator/Secretary/Assistant directly. i.e the Economics department. They will contact the manager of student relations on your behalf. That is the proper way to solve your issue. P.M. me if you want names and numbers.

I love Presto! I set it to autofill to $40 every time it goes down to $20 so I never have to worry about the balance running low. I used it for Viva this semester until the strike started. Now I use it for the GO Bus. The great thing about GO Bus is that Presto stops charging you once you get to the price of a monthly pass. Single fares are discounted 7.5%, or 15% if you get your Presto card tagged as a student.

A bonus for choosing Presto is that sometimes the Presto machine goes down and you get to ride the bus for free :)

Gen Eds are supposed to teach critical skills. Poor performance in Gen Ed courses may be a red flag on an application, however some grad schools only look at your last 60 credits or upper year credits and don't give a crap about what you did in first year. It all depends on what the selection committee chooses to set the requirements as.

[raviji]

Ok now here is some info i need - dont know if this is possible but i will ask you guys here:

I am in the B.A.S program - 3 year program (90 credits), although I have 105 credits done, I am just thinking to graduate with 90 credits and not wait till 120 is done in honours. I am already enrolled in CFA program and will focus onto that and write the exam in June . I can graduate right away, i am meeting all requirements except 2 courses - STATS (ADMS 2320) AND MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING (ADMS 2510).

Heres what happened. I took these 2 courses earlier and I failed. I took them again and I failed. The third time when I took, I got a C+ in Stats and C in managerial accounting. Their policy is, not to repeat any course more than once. I did twice and I passed. Now apparently, these two passing grades are not counting. Only the two Fs are counting and technically I cannot graduate. I had submitted a petition to drop the two failing grades and even a WAIVER that if they dont want to drop those courses, I am fine, as long as my passing grades count. The petition reply came yesterday in the mail saying I didnt follow the rules:
1) Failure to drop courses prior to drop date deadline if I knew I was gonna fail.
- Infact, till the midterm I was passing, but final being 50% for stats and 65% for managerial made me fail twice. I had some personal commitments for which I couldnt concentrate after the midterm.

2) The set rule that I cannot repeat courses more than twice.

Now, I understand it is my fault because at that time, I had no clue about the 2nd rule. I thought you could repeat as many times you want but I didnt knew.

The petition committee just based the decision based on "set rules" and not at all thinking reasonably and logically. I am DONE. All I need to do is get those credits count and graduate. In addition, I have passed those courses too. Also, the courses which I took after has these 2 courses as their prerequisites and I passed them successfully too, with a C and higher. So definitely I have the knowledge for these courses. Cant they just realize that I am DONE and I just need to graduate and holding back graduation based on two courses (which are technically done) is just pure nonsense?

Is there anyone who can really talk to in person about this? The advisors are just useless and they will tell me to petition again, which will take 6 months to go through. I had submitted my petition on June 30, and I got a response on Dec. 19, like, common.

Who can I really contact or talk to so they understand my situation in this scenario and who is also logical?? Tough question eh?

[Soorma]

No need to retake the same elective class again. But in order to graduate you need a specific amount of credits so you'll have to make up for it. Summer classes are an option if you wanna get it done quicker/without cramming too many courses at once.

[chinaboy1021]

Does anybody know a HUMA course that is strictly online??

Guys, I just realized I enrolled in a course (ADMS4536) for upcoming winter semester yet I do not have the prereq for it........There is one prereq (ADMS4501) for it, and I'm taking it in upcoming winter also. Will I get booted during the course? What if I finish both courses, will they grant me the credit or will some kind of bureaucracy kick in?

Course description for PSYC 3010 includes "NCR: No credit will be retained for this course for students who have successfully completed or who are currently enrolled in AK/HH/PSYC 4800."

What I gather from that is that if you have already taken 4800 before taking 3010, or if you are taking 4800 and 3010 together during the same semester, you will not receive a credit for 3010. What happens if you choose to take 4800 after 3010? Still no credit for 3010?

I'm pretty sure I passed that course btw, I was at a B+ and killed the final.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's your first year. However, you just have to work harder this term, as well as any remaining years in order to pull up your cumulative average. I'm not sure how law schools work, but some are probably B+ averages and a high score on the LSAT would also work in your favor.

The incidents happened in separate washrooms at Curtis Lecture Hall on Monday. The first occurred at 6 p.m. when two women were using the bathroom and noticed a man in the stall beside them reach under with a cellphone in his hand. They left and the man fled.

Then, at 8:30 p.m., a woman using a different washroom in the same building saw a man looking over the stall. He fled again.

Police are looking for one suspect, a brown man aged 20 to 25, with a chinstrap beard, dark eyes and black hair, in relation to both incidents. He was wearing a grey knitted sweater, blue jeans, grey shiny sneakers and a grey toque.

I'm a first year student. I got a D+ for Microeconomics as my final mark. For another class I just got back my mid term exam and I also got a D+ on that, for my other class which is NATS I got back the midterm and I got a 50%, for my political science class I got a 85% on the mid terms. Am I ****ed for life now? I was planning on going to law school or get my mba. Will I have to scrap those plans now and try my luck at McDonalds?

Most MBA schools only look at your last two years with regards to grades. Like others have said, first year is tough as you need to get used to how University works.

[Swaggz]

Yeah I guess I can always improve. I just made a mistake by taking the wrong courses and I also took a second year course and didn't switch out of it :facepalm:

I'm wondering if anyone else is FLAPS is finding it impossible to book an appointment online. I realize that this is their busy time of year but it seems like anytime I log on to the website to book an appointment it simply states "There are no appointment slots currently available for this week". Any tips as to when to try or what to do?

VERY hard. But if you were smart enough, you'd contact the advisor directly through email asking if he/she has a free time during the week. In 90% of the time they will ask you to drop by the next day.

Anyone here in Humanities? I may switch over..

Is it the most open ended/general program there is?

Is there any way to find a room with a projector/screening room at York
I know there is one at SMIL, but they dont let you use it unless u are a graduate student/faculty member

I want to show a little school pride. My UofT buddies thinks I would be too ashamed of York to wear York gears out. I am not. And I like our school's colour. They are just so pricey. I sometimes hang out with my buddies at St. George campus and I wouldn't mind letting those kids know I go to York.

It's not quite the situation to show pride. But well if you want to pay 50$ for sweater when you can get the same in Winners for 10$, then go ahead. That's the way they make money, play on students' sense of "pride". Personally i never wore anything like that and never will, my own sense of pride is way stronger.

Yes, I do want to show school pride but being a careful spender is more important to me (RFD style) so that is why I did not spend $50 on a sweater, by the way, the one that I wanted is priced at $79.99 :evil: and was asking if anyone knew how I can get a deal. I am thinking about just getting the symbol/design and then hitting up Chinatown to get it made on a unlabeled red sweater for way less :lol:

$10 for a sweater at winners is a good deal. The average is at $29.99. I am assuming you are talking about on clearance stuff which are great steals but most of the time it is hard to find items in my size :( but when I do find things in my size boy does it feels good.

I don't get why the sweaters are priced so high. AFAIK, the sweaters at other universities are priced around the $30-40 point.

I was at the bookstore on Thursday and there were some hooded sweaters on sale for like $30 but the price for the rugby one sucks.

Who profits from the bookstore? The school? Everything is overpriced. I would never get my textbooks from there. I only bought a course kit from there because I had to and tried to use the coupon that they gave at the beginning of the year but they said they can't discount course kits.

i'd say everything at the bookstore is meant for on-campus students who can afford paying extra. I'm cheap so i'd rather save those 100$ rather than buy the sweater that will eventually lose colour after first laundry wash..

Hi everyone. I'm planning on apply to York's PhD program in the Kin department. I've heard some good stuff about York's Kin program and was hoping if there were any undergrads (or graduate students) in the Kin program on this forum that can share their experience/thoughts so far on the program? Thanks!

Summer timetables are up.

[Soorma]

Couple of questions for summer school. If I signed up for a course now, but decide later like in late April or early May, I cannot do the course any more, can I still drop-out without any penalties? When does fees have to be paid by and is there enrolment deposits as well? Also do more courses get added as days go by or are these only courses offered?

[umop]

You can add/remove courses as many times as you wish without penalty before the term starts.

Fees have to be paid by the first day of classes, although paying in later months isn't uncommon (a minor interest charge is tacked on though). There is an enrolment deposit.

The courses you see now will almost certainly be the only ones available. Selection is always limited in the summer. It's possible they might add or cancel a course/section, but don't count on it.

My buddy is in the process of defending, and he loved his time at York doing his Kin PhD.

He got lots of great opportunities to present his findings at conferences (many of them were international conferences), published quite a few papers (to some high impact journals as well) and wrote a couple book chapters.

Overall he had a really solid and productive experience completing his PhD in Kin

But for your JD, at least you will be at the Dundas campus, so you won't be stuck in the middle of no where. I guess for the MBA component you'll be back at the main campus at Schulich, lol.

Revolution Che.

[Swaggz]

Does anyone else notice and appreciate the increasing openness and honesty of the profs as the years go by? Most of my profs tell it how it is - globalization is a joke, Harper is a joke, etc. As years go by more and more of what is happening behind the curtains is being exposed.

The profs and TAs teaching politics related classes at York are heavily leftist(communist/socialist).


This is in quite contrast to the 50's, for example, where the curriculum was strictly controlled by religious and governmental educational parties.

I don't know I wasn't alive back then not even my parents were.



The only question that remains is; what is the end result of all this? What's gonna happen in 30 years, when all of this is out in the open?

Viva la Revolution!

I'm pretty sure T4A is for things like bursaries and scholarships... did you receive money from the school? I think the TA4 is to simply claim these things. But, I got my TA4 in the mail, so you might too.

No I didn't receive any money from the school this year. I will wait for mail also I guess.

Has anyone done online courses? Are there any good ones I can take during the summer?

I'm taking an online course called FILM 1701, Hollywood: Old and New. Don't think its offered in the summer, but I can explain the online part.

This course uses WebCT. I'm not sure about other online courses. In terms of handing in assignments, you basically submit them before 11:55 PM in a certain due date in this class. So you can technically wait till the last minute to hand stuff in. TAs mark assignments in this course. We don't have exams for this class. Readings and lectures are posted online. But honestly, those are completely useless, in this course anyway.

[AndrewShev]

Not sure about the whole idea of "online university course". Many profs that i had, all said the online courses are ridiculous and don't teach you anything. Yea they are easy, and you can chill at home doing participation with burger on one side and Playboy on another.

[steve_111]

Hey guys, I just need some help regarding which prof to take in the summer for ECON1000 (micro)

So basically, one prof is Sadia Mariam Malik and the term is S1, and the other prof would be Xueda Song and the term is S2.

If anyone knows which prof is better between the 2 in terms of easiness, helpfulness (since i dont have any background in econ) I will really appreciate it! I dont mind the term length that much, as long as if one professor is a bit more flexible and easier with how they give out reviews and all that.

Thanks! :)

Taking the same thing! What you get on assignment 1? I hate the lectures and they offer nothing for the assignment and can't question on the readings becuase I only did some but my TA wanted to see more of reading related stuff in my first assignment lol.

In general, for me anyways, I think online courses are bad personally. Sometimes you forget you have them since it's online and not a physical class so you may not do the readings and be behind in the lectures.

Got an 88 for the first assignment. I didn't read anything I didn't need to read. I just look at the readings I need as I was writing my essay. My TA said I needed to talk about the camera angles and other stuff. I'm slacking off for the second assignment. Only done 2 pages. Ugh.

What happens if I get removed from a course since it was restricted seating for other students? Does this mean that the $450 I paid just goes to waste and I cannot even take the class now?
If I do get removed, will I be able to enroll in other classes at least? when is the last date for us to drop the course without having to pay fees and all?

Anyone have anymore info on how online courses work? I'm enrolled in POLS 3125 6 A (SU Term) Political Economy of Canada with James R Laxer .. Anyone have any info on the class or prof?

I took FILM1701 in 1st year I believe.. not a bad class, subjective marking though to say the least.. If the online format is like that, then I'm not worried at all, it was quite organized and the workload was extremely lax.

Also we still have to do the $450 deposit within 5 days for 1 courses during the summer? Can anyone confirm that?

If anyone knows something about these courses let me know!

[jacobe]

Hey guys,

So I've been worrying about a problem that I've been having as the end of the school year approaches. To put it shortly, I have pretty extreme social anxiety. Knowing that, I thought it would go away as the school year started. I was wrong.

What ended up happening was I didn't go to any classes pretty much, and only studied if the specific course had online notes or lectures. Right now I'd say I'm failing 3/5 courses. I'm really worried about what to do next. I'm 20, and I'm thinking about taking a year off next semester to go see psychiatrists or whatever. I don't think that's too bad, since I didn't feel ready for university and most people I see at York are around the 23-30 age range.

Is this a good idea? What do I do next? Can you take exclusively online courses? Does taking a year off and going back when I'm 21 mean I'm destined for failure? I know I wasted a year of osap and I wish I could go to classes and participate and contribute but I get constant panic attacks where I can't even breathe properly and can't focus because of their severity.

I am sorry to hear how bad your anxiety has gotten. Have you spoken to an academic advisor? Maybe they can make an accommodation for you somehow. The last time I spoke to my advisor she really broke things down for me and helped me quite a bit with my school plans.

You sound like you are pretty hung up on the age thing. I don't think it makes any difference if you are 18 or 21 when going to university. How does the university degree fit into your future career path/plans and how much work you are putting into your studies should matter much more.

----------------------------
I need to get some general elective credits this summer. Who here has taken AP/SOSC 1000 - Intro to Social Science or AP/MODR 1730 - Reasoning About Social Issues ?
Will either be too much for the summer? I just plan on taking on one course... or maybe both depending on how well I do on all of my finals this term.

Thanks.

[umop]

I've heard all the intro MODR courses are similar and straightforward. But of course it depends on who your teacher is. I had a good one so the course was enjoyable. I wouldn't worry too much though. It should be easy.

If that is the case, I took MODR - Techniques of Persuasion (fall term) not so long ago and I did not like it although it was an easy course. If all MODR courses are similar I think it is best that I keep away. :|

[hinjamz]

You've taken that before? How is it like? I was interested in that course but didn't take.

Taking it right now. Pretty straight forward. He has lecture slides that you copy and he quizzes you on it every week. 50% on quizzes, 10% essay, 10% test x 3 and 10% 'attendance'.

If you go to lecture and do your quizzes, you automatically get the 10% attendance grade. The quizzes and tests are purely memorization. Quizzes probably required you to take memorize 1/2-1 page of material in M/C or fill in the blanks and tests are a little bit more difficult, more content to memorize.

The content itself is pretty interesting. I like hip hop so I enjoy the lectures for the most part. Also, I was able to listen to new artists which was pretty cool.

My marks are all B's and C+'s except for this one NATS course thats killing me. Currently getting a D, which will probably either remain a D, or turn into an F after exams/final papers. I calculated my GPA, and worst case scenario (F), I end up with a 4.0 GPA. If I maintain the D, I'm around 4.5.
BHRM asks for a 5.0, since I'm taking summer classes as well, I'm pretty confident I can raise it to a 5.0.

The catch is, york requires undecided majors to pick a major after the completion of 18 credits.. Since I also need the 4U math highschool credit as a pre-req for entering BHRM, I wouldnt be able to get into BHRM right now anyways (taking the 4U math at a private school over summer - no, not the shady ones you buy your credit at).

Once summer is complete, I *should* be at a 5.0 GPA, and have my 4U math.. Till then, should I just delcare philosophy or something as my major? I'm going to be booking an advising appointment this week, but thought I'd ask here for some insight as well.

Anyone taking POLS 3045: Human Rights, Islamic Thought and Politics?

[jjrousseau]

Has anyone taken ITEC 1010 or PSYC 2120?
Thinking of taking them in the summer school
If anyone knows something about these courses let me know!

PSYC 2120 is an amazing course if you take it with Doug McCann.

[calcuu]

Taking it right now. Pretty straight forward. He has lecture slides that you copy and he quizzes you on it every week. 50% on quizzes, 10% essay, 10% test x 3 and 10% 'attendance'.

If you go to lecture and do your quizzes, you automatically get the 10% attendance grade. The quizzes and tests are purely memorization. Quizzes probably required you to take memorize 1/2-1 page of material in M/C or fill in the blanks and tests are a little bit more difficult, more content to memorize.

The content itself is pretty interesting. I like hip hop so I enjoy the lectures for the most part. Also, I was able to listen to new artists which was pretty cool.
Thanks for the info, sounds cool, might take it the coming school year. What kind of artists do you listen to for course material and what's the quizes/tests mainly about?

[hinjamz]

Thanks for the info, sounds cool, might take it the coming school year. What kind of artists do you listen to for course material and what's the quizes/tests mainly about?

We've listened to artists like The Sugar Hill Gang, The Roots, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Wu Tang Clan. Also, some Canadian hip hop artists from the 90s like the Maestro and Dream Warriors as well, pretty cool stuff.

As for the content on the quizzes, it's mainly trivial. Information about the artists such as their birth names, what city they're from, and discography or popular songs. Very straight forward. Tests are just a tad more challenging. You have more 'scholarly' articles about the state and evolution of hip hop. Once again, it's very simple. Straight forward, pure effort and memorization. No tricks.

You'll enjoy it if you like hip hop and wanna find a lil bit more about the roots and where the music came from.

Awesome very much appreciate the info. Wu Tang, The Roots, and 90s Canadian hip hop, I'm sold already. I enjoy hip hop a lot and feel like I should know more so this course is definitely one that I see myself enjoying.

I took ITEC 1010 last semester with Prof. Campeanu.
The course is pretty easy if you have prior computer knowledge,
even if you don't, I don't think it's that difficult.
The course is pretty dry though.

So far, it's the easiest ITEC course I've taken.

I'm taking PSYC 1010 right now with Jill Rich. Overall, it is easy if you study and read the whole text book. Tests are mostly multiple choice with some short answers. Class average is pretty low though. I wouldn't say its a bird course because you have to study hard to do well.

It didn't state on the course website. I know robert deutsch is teaching the 6 week long one and he got a poor rating on ratemyprofessor.com. if the online one is hard, i might just take the tuesday and thursday one.

[wolf30]

From that course outline it appears this course is 2 semesters long. I'm not too familiar with how it works at york as this is my first time taking courses there, but does that mean the class continues until the fall semester? or does it just get crammed together over the spring/summer months? Are the online summer or regular summer students not eligible for that extra 4% research study bonus?

[Ryerson2ndyear]

Hey guys, just wondering if there's a lot to study for the final. A friend of mine told me that I can find really good notes on Notesolution.com, but I haven't had a chance to check it out. Anyone heard anything about that site?

took psych with mccann, class average is fairly low..mid 60s i believe. As someone already mentioned, just read the book + take good notes in lecture and you should be okay.

I enrolled for intro to microeconomics for the summer..have never taken an ECON course. Hoping it turns out okay

How long ago did you request a change? Are you changing your major or your major and faculty?

I requested the change on January 3rd. I'm changing my faculty from LAPS to Health (change of major and faculty). The department told me they need my final grades for this term before they make a decision.

[Soorma]

What can you do to appeal a final grade if prof and TA not willing to change? Registrar page seems to say that you can appeal marked work but won't be able to appeal work which was oral so if a professor makes course evaluation primarily focus on oral work and you lose most marks there, no appeal then I think.

Anyone take intro to psych with rebecca jubis? I'm taking the online section with her. I'm wondering how easy or difficult it is to get an A in her class?

I just took Online PSYCH1010 with Jubis.
Class is pretty straight forward.
4 Tests, each of them on four chapters.
Then an assignment where you have to complete a behaviour modification program on yourself.
No midterm and no final. I walked away with a B+.
Do the work and you'll do fine.

Now with a question of my own!

I'm trying to get into a class that is currently 'Reserved' for first year students.
Can anyone give me a couple pointers on how I can squeeze myself in?
Is there anything I can say in emails or anything that can help my chances?

Thanks!

[nyx716]

So I'm taking Social Psych (PSYC 2120) with Goldberg this Summer and I've only ever heard terrible, terrible things about him. Is he really that bad? I unfortunately don't have much of a choice.

Also, has anyone rented textbooks from the bookstore before? In the checkout proceedings it says I have to pay $20 for shipping? Couldn't this possibly be opted out of if I just go over there and pick up the book myself? I'm a Visiting Student so I don't know how things work normally here.

Thanks I was worried cause I read on ratemyprofessor.com that her tests are tricky and hard by some students while others said she's easy.

Try calling the department and asking if they can register you in. I couldn't register for the pysch and tai chi course I wanted to take during the summer using the online system so I called each department and within 5 min I was registered in both.

No, her tests are pretty straight forward if you ask me. An A is definitely achievable if you read the text.

Thanks for the tip, I sent an email last time and they told me to ask again later.

For POLS 1000, it depends on which prof and TA you get.

My prof was Martin Breaugh and the TA was Shane. It was very straight-forward. I put in minimal effort, didn't say a peep in tutorials, and got a B+.

Anyone else have the SOSC 2330A exam on Thursday? (Economics of Law, Policy and Organization)

I'm really nervous for this exam, does anyone have previous tests/test bank access? Let me know if you do! All my professor posted was a practice test.

It depends on your prof and how fast they mark. To check your grade, you have to use the online Services system. (https://wrem.sis.yorku.ca/Apps/WebObjects/ydml.woa/wa/DirectAction/document?name=GradeReportv1)

In my experience they mark pretty fast within a week.

Yeah, I check there everyday after 5 business days since writing my exam for each course, that's the guideline they tell you but I agree that it really depends on the prof. The 1 grade posted on Moodle isn't officially posted on the online service system so I make sure to check Moodle too.

Yeah I get weird vibes from them.

I dunno, there's something weird about labourers and university students having to co-exist. They probably think we're snobs... I dunno, I just get that vibe.

For Introduction to Microeconomics it depends which prof you get. I had some old guy, I think Lafranco or something. His lectures were pretty relaxed but his exams were hard.


I hated Markets and Democracy thanks to my TA. It seemed she made a vow to not give anyone anything above a B+. The lectures were soft, I stopped going to them near the end because the prof posted all the slides on moodle.

I ended up doing average in both courses.

I don't see why not unless the course have pre-reqs that you don't have. I find that sometimes the online enrolling system will not let you enroll in the course but if you go to the department of the course and talk to someone they can help you get in.


If the job is tied to your career growth, great! If not, maybe consider spending a summer doing an intern. That would help you towards your career goals too.

I wished my job is related to my career growth. But the only experiences that remotely relates to my career goals I can get at the moment is of the free labour sort --> volunteer. My paid job isn't so bad. I make a good amount of money and I do gain more customer service experience + really flexible hours to accommodate my often packed schedule (really helps a lot during exams).

One of my volunteer jobs involves taking on the role similar to that of a counsellor which I thought I might have liked but I am starting to feel that maybe the work doesn't suit me. I still want to be in the healthcare/therapy field but in another role that involves more physical activity so my Psyc (science stream) degree might not be ideal. I am thinking of switching to Kine and have more of a physically active approach to counselling/therapy kind of career. Heck at this point Nursing seems to be not such a bad career option too. I will be working in healthcare and I will have to be on my feet often. I have looked at York's Nursing program too. I need to take more courses to sort of get a better idea of where my interest lies combined with the volunteer experiences helps. I don't think I can sit still until September to come around to work on my career plans so I welcome my summer courses with open arms. It is a good thing that my program jump won't be too much of a differences for me so I didn't really waste my time. My buddy wants to go from Nursing to Accounting so that is like a whole new game plan altogether.

It depends on the profs. If you have easy ones, you'll do well. If you have tough ones, you might have to put in more effort.

I took every course you listed except ITEC and SOSC. They were straight-forward for the most part but then again I had good teachers.

Which program were you in from the other university you transferred from? Was it itec related? You were probably frustrated with the amount of work thrown at you in your first year since you did not have a good background in itec.
Study harder!!!! Upgrade some of your grades this summer. If you do not have a good understanding of your year 1 itec courses, chances are you'll end up screwing up even more in the upper year courses.

I was in IT too, that's not my issue. My issue is that there's no ITEC short summer courses (May-June) but my gpa is very low. Can anyone tell me if there's a short J1 summer course that's considered relatively an easy A?

l1 course ( May 7th -- May 25th)

I would not recommend accelerated sections unless you want to upgrade your final grade for a course.

For example,

ADMS 3300 (business stats II) has several sections for SU and only one section for s1. Why are there many SU sections than s1? Its going to be extremely difficult to absorb the course content (esp. for stats) in less than a month. Ideally, s1 is for people who have a fair amount of knowledge from the course already and want to redo the exam - simply to boost their grade.

I dont think there are any easy itec courses, sorry. Unless, if your lucky and you get a really easy professor.

Currently a Ryerson student with only 3 credits needed. However I have run into troubles with my courses (failing). I would like to know some information in transferring to York. I am currently in the business accounting program but I have rather become disillusioned with the hurdles put forward by Ryerson to complete said education. I've been a part-time student for the past year and a half if that helps.
