Is PP201 easy? I chose EC 223 (Banking) over it. . .

Aparently its like 10 quizes and a 30% final, and 2 of the quizes get droped...

Money and banking seems like an extension of Macro..to me, I've heard Environmental Economics is a joke

Alright got all my courses!!

I'm taking HI248 right now (Impact of WWII) so I only needed to choose two electives. I did GG294 (Geo of Tourism) and GG101 (Human Geo).

I'm thinking of minoring in Geography btw..

Does anyone know if it looks bad if you are taking 2 distance ed. courses in the same semester? I don't know what electives to take and im thinking of doing GG231 DE, but i have PP201 DE already.

Honestly man, a don in that building told a friend of mine. The kid started the fire himself using gasoline.

Believe whatever you want. Its a sad story either way.

Has anybody applied for scholarships? I was using the awards search to look for scholarships but the deadlines were Sept 2008 so I guess the awards office hasnt updated them. Is there any better tools? Ive tried studentawards.com but its just contests.

Yeah, the fire department confirmed that the fire had nothing to do with problems with the building. And I heard that they found a gas can in his room. Really unfortunate story.

Also, EC 223 is mostly easy. There's a 40% midterm which is pretty easy and a 60% final. The structure can be a bit intimidating I suppose. And Vaughan is not returning to Laurier next year so it will be someone else teaching the course (possibly Siklos?)

International trade and environmental economics are also very easy. Not very difficult A's to get if you stay on top of things.

Alright I'm in a weird predicament.

I might want to minor in Geography, but you need GG101,GG102 and 2 senior credits in geography. I already took GG102 in first year, and I'm taking 2 geo courses this year. In year 3-4, for my program you're only allowed 2 electives, so that brings me to 5 geo credits.

What can I do?

I'm taking a history course now (summer), so that's why I'm only taking 2 geo this year.

There is nothing stopping you from taking extra classes at all. There is nothing "limiting" you to a certain number of electives. The program requirements can be seen more as a "bare minimum". If it's only one class or two you need for a minor, it might be fiscally worth it to end up taking those few extra classes. Hopefully that makes sense.

You can take that extra class during the school terms (may have to overload), or a decent number are available DE in the summer.

Yes it's light, epecially second term, but considering it's my 6th year in undergrad (last year of my second degree), I deserve it. Plus, I'm doing my undergrad thesis, so there is technically a half credit per term tacked on consisting of weekly meetings, and TONS of reading, writing, and lab work. I've already started lab work this summer as my job (I was lucky and got an NSERC USRA through UW's Earth Sciences department, w00t!)

Also I have a question regarding coop:

My GPA is over the coop cut-off for this year (in the 8 range), so i know i got an interview at least. BUT my friend told me how this one guy didn't get coop because he had 7's in both his business courses- which i do too. Can anyone confirm/shed some light if there's any truth in this?

Also I didn't do too great in EC120 so i retook it DE over the summer resulting in a MUCH improved mark- would anyone know if this would affect my getting into coop?

PS. I have good work experience/volunteer experience/extracurriculars so i'm going to emphasize the crap out of that in my interview :|

The way I understand it, once you have crossed the cut-off for the interview, your marks become much less significant in the decision for co-op admission.

Unless its changed, admission is based on grades, EC's, work exp, volunteer, and interview performance (which is most important imo). If you can convey whatever skills you have and make it sound decent, you'll probably get in.

I wouldn't worry about having a 7 or whatever, what's done is done - just make the best of it and stress your strengths in the interview.

good luck!

I was wondering how many business students kept their EC120/140 textbooks after first year? Im contemplating whether I should keep them for reference, but I assume the new textbooks would provide all the info necessary.

I haven't sold any of my books. Too lazy and people never get back to me (even though I'm offering 50% off the initial prices). Not really in a bind to sell them, just irritated that some of the books I bought I opened maybe once or twice. I could easily put them back on the shelf and no one would know it's used!
