Yes, and if you are interested please feel free to apply.

Law school exams are extremely humbling :okay:

Anyone take eosc 112 before?

thanks bro, hopefully it's not too packed this time of year

Anyone take Ling101 with Burton Strang before or Econ355 with Malhotra or Econ356 with Munro? Easy?

I did 355 with Malhotra. It's ok exams are multiple choice and short answer and some questions are straight out of myeconlab. This was three years ago though.

Thanks, she said it was what she did her phd on so it sounded like it would be intense. Had her for econ101 and she was easy. Just lookin for courses to boost my gpa up so i can get into econ lol.

Has anyone taken GEOG 122?

I took it in 2008, with two profs - one was in a wheelchair. They may still be teaching it. The course was interesting, talking about gentrification among other stuff, but the weekly discussions were not. The weekly articles in discussion couldn't pique me enough to talk about them.

Noob first-year question: Best place to watch hockey on or near campus?

@kcl38, sorry for the 45 minute wait today... felt like a dick..

haha I'm finding even the lectures kinda dry. My prof right now is a 30-something Asian lady who, in fact, says "in fact" way too often.

Somewhat easier courses this term, allowing me to get 3 shifts a week at work :thumbs: hopefully JAP100 doesn't rape my up the ass.

My Dad holds season passes to almost all the big TBird teams (Basketball, mens and womens vball, hockey) and hes always talking about the fairly high quality for price.

Unless you meant Canucks once it starts being aired. If you're a first year in residence, figure out which buildings/floors have huge TVs. Mine had a 55" last year.

Yeah I meant the Canucks and some live hockey. Don't live on campus but few of my friends and I finish at around 5-6ish so was hoping on odd days to catch the game somewhere then go home.

Anybody taken EOSC 340, COMM 473, COMM 493?

Took COMM 473 with Ron Mackinnon. He's rude and believes he's funny when he's not but he literally reused the past years midterm. Got a perfect score on that midterm. Material is easy enough if you do practice problems. I ended up with a solid A.

Took COMM 493 with Momo Deretic. Class is ok depending on your group mates. Final is tricky you really need to understand the concepts.

Anyone taken COMM 393 Commercial Law with Ellen Mcintosh before? How did you guys take your notes? By hand or laptop?

I don't know what undergrad law courses are like but almost everyone at law school types their notes.

Yeah im taking it with her now. Today at 330. My friend gave me her notes and the case briefs. Pm me if u want them. No need to by the textbook.

Anyone take geog 371, 391, 328 before or now? Also in Chin 107 and Germ302

Yea, she's really elaborate in her lecture so there's really not that much of a point getting the book except for the cases. She has all hand written notes in all her lectures so if you don't like writing, laptop is probably easier, except when it comes to her diagrams

Thanks everyone! I've decided to hand-write her notes because it's such a hassle like Selanne said to draw her diagrams on the computer.

To those who are in commerce: I'm taking an elective right now, and it's definitely easy as hell to pass it, but also takes some effort (not too much) to be a GPA booster. Should I take it as a GPA booster or just for credit/d/fail? Not sure if overall GPA matters to recruiters.
