Anyone have any tips for scheduling 6 hard as fuck courses?

Time management. Don't fall behind and seek help immediately if you cannot figure something out. Once you fall behind, stuff piles up real quick. Pretty much the stuff you hear all the time but don't take to heart until it's too late :p

i mean actually scheduling them

Anyone here taking any term 1 marketing/business courses?:smug:

Don't know what you mean by scheduling them. I really don't think you'll be able to get the sections you want, so it'll be a game of how to get more courses with the sections left unless you have an early registration date.

Only other thing I can think of is breaks. Some like longer breaks in between and some don't? I find it easier to load up class after class and finish it all with no down time between, and to start earlier than later. Just personal preference.

yeah you're right. i gotta plan to get what i can

What happens if you miss your registration time? Can you just do it anytime after the registration time or does it close shortly after the time?

Nvm found it - You can register on your registration time or any time after.

Can someone help confirm?

bachelor of business administration at langara > bachelor of arts sfu/ubc

^ dunno about that, but a business degree is probably more useful than having a general arts degree, regardless of which of those institutions it came from.

^True but I think it also depends on what you intend to do with the degree. For example, economics is actually considered arts at ubc, so I guess the point is, don't do a general arts degree

Pardon my lack of organization:
I recently earned my history degree at SFU and am currently doing my BBA at Langara to legitimize my eventual career as a Business Education High School Teacher/Social Studies Teacher. What I am about to say will probably piss off the reader. It is true there are more job prospects in Business. But quantity never equates quality. A history BA is much harder acquire, requires more effort to get and despite the abysmal applications outside of research, improves the analytical acumen of its graduates. There is some analysis in Business, but it is nothing compared to history. The writing skills inherent in a BA are elite compared to BBA majors (BBA graduates need strong written and oral communication skills). The jobs are limited in arts, but it depends on where you look and how you market your skills. A lot of people don't know this, but BA graduates can enter market research. There are also research careers, archive work, certain analyst positions and of course, the lowly teachers. A langara BBA is limited because there is only accounting, marketing, International business (which is very vague), management. I won't say much about accounting since it is the exception where I am sure it is booming with prospects. Langara's marketing is very broad and lacks the digital dimension where the most money can be made. It's heavily focused on promotional marketing, which stretches from retail to personal selling. The management and international business degrees are like the lazyman's alternative to the marketing management program at Langara because they do not encompass much. A lot of what is learned in the three programs (INT, MARK, and BUSM) can be learned on the job. Experience trumps the ego of a degree. I will add more to my rant later.

Anyone can get a business degree at Langara. Would it give you a job? No. Business is the discipline where you have to make connections, perhaps do co-op, get internships for the experiences. If you do not have the above, you're F****D. You can be brilliant and land the job by interviews, but without the appropriate experiences, you're really no different from the countless hundreds of applicants who applied for the same job. The person who will get that job is the person who has that competitive advantage (connections, experience). That degree is just a piece of paper you build on. You build on it with experiences and connections.

tl;dr: I can be an archivist or market researcher if I wanted to.

ugliest fucken schedule ive ever seen but ok

Looks alright, could be worse with less courses :P Wish I was able to get this many on my first semester!

You better have some lube handy because you're going to get f*cked so hard if you are not ready.

^LOOOOOL prepare for hermit life

What the fuck.....No breaks. Have fun.

By the way, I can't seem to drop a course. I dropped a course I registered a month before the semester even started on April 2. Is this the reason why? Going to see the counsellor tomorrow to see whats going on.

Would suck if I couldn't drop a course because of that.

Got a question here. So my registration time was today for Kinesiology (June 26 1500). I login and go to register and low and behold all the available courses are full. When i do the course search they only show 4 classes for each course and they are all full. Some of the courses I need aren't even on the course list. I called the hotline but they were no help. Is there supposed to be so few courses even for the core ones. Right now I just managed to be waitlist for 2 kinesiology courses. Kinda getting worried at this point right now.

Some courses are only offered during certain semesters and yes there is usually a shortage of core courses that people need.

:troll::joy:

Welcome to Langara.
