Doesn't the GPA cut-off depends on what program you're applying for?

If you're going to take Marketing 1115 as a GPA booster, do not take it with Kevin James. He's a good professor, but is too meticulous on his marking and is too textbook oriented. I heard the other profs rely solely on lecture notes, so look into that.

click on admission averages. You can always go into arts and then try to transfer to compsci as the GPA dropped to 2.7.

Has anyone heard anything about the strike?

I have heard James is really into textbook vocabs and textbook answers. I have a friend who had him for a semester and told me that.

I had Kevin James last sem. He's really into the textbook and powerpoints. I think he's a really good prof but is a hard marker.

Nothing new since Friday.

If anyone is going to take CSIS2500, don't take it with Roy Sinn. He doesn't even teach and hardly gave out enough detail for the project.

So my summer semester should look something like this

2 bio's, english, psych and either history or if I can persuade the math advisor to let me into math 1150 (which is fucking math 11)

If not I'm going to continuing ed. I can't take physics or chem 1118 without math 1150.

I'm actually in James' MARK 1115 right now, and I find the class really easy.

I wouldn't say he's too textbook oriented, nor a hard marker. I mean obviously you have to read the textbook, but he does filter the important shit out for the in-class powerpoint slides that he posts online. As for marking, he's really chill. He just wants to see your understanding of the content. Other than the written content on exams and a group project (choose your partners CAREFULLY), there's nothing else that he really marks.

So yeah, if you want to get an A, all you really have to do is read the textbook chapter before he goes over it in class. I personally don't do this because I'm a lazy fuck, but for many, it'll help solidify certain concepts and vocabulary.

I'm not sure if it's because I have the mindset for this class, but I literally studied only three hours for the last midterm, and got an A.

Oh, and is anyone taking English 1127 and Chinese 1115?

^Planning on taking engl1127 in the summer

Eng summer teachers are crappy. I'm waiting for that super easy one even tho I'm pretty good with english. As for chinese there is only one class so maybe.

I am taking 1127 this summer too. Still deciding which prof I should take tho. Any suggestions? I wonder if the online one is okay...

Who is the super easy one?

For 1127, Izzak G would be pretty easy

Fucking ppl suck ass at parking. Circled and found so many spots with cars sticking into them or over the line. Also the east side b wing parking area sucks major dick. Those spots are so fucking narrow and everyone is over the lines. Fuck.

728 has free parking all day :)

Hmmm, not sure what to sign up for, no waitlists ftw! :fullofwin:

Hey guys I was wondering which English professor to choose

I want to take both ENGL 1127 and 1129 so that I can finish 6 credits of English during summer

I don't know whom should I choose : Moriarty, Pickard or Holditch?

I am really bad at English, especially on writing, so I'd like to find an easy marker

^
Just go to rate my prof to check some of the ratings if you are not sure
Issac is the easiest. Whom I am waiting for.

Strike FAQ page




Did you check with the english department head? Afaik, you cannot take both 1127 and 1129 in the same semester. Since 1127 is the prerequisite for taking 1129.

@TOS'd : I actually did send them an e-mail asking about that problem.

The department chair said that yes, that is possible since they reserve seats in the 1129/1130 courses.

Note that I am talking about the half semester ENGL 1127 and 1129/1130, in case any one is confused.

@ BaoTurbo : I looked up all of the ones I said, but their rating are about the same. I'd prefer some personal experience from someone that has taken their courses before.

Well that changes everything. I wouldn't have commented on it in the first place.

Sadly they are all almost the same. I guess try to pick up as much as you can from the comments. I have never personally heard of any of those teachers teach in the past or they never appealed to me but yea you're right that personal experience is always the best and hardest to come by :) Good luck

Ive already taken 1127. Lets pick a gpa booster, rs meet class, lol. Summer cruises after school, etc. :fullofwin:
