I'm going to be taking apsc 201 this summer with Kerr, Randall.
I was just wonder if there's any strategy in passing his class.

I know all apsc profs are gay(not gay gay, but just gay), but where does Randall stand along the hardness chart(not penis hardness, but grading hardness) in comparison to the others?

Any help would be appreciated. I must pass this course now since there's going to be the ECCT requirement starting in September.

btw, is anyone selling his or her apsc 201 textbook: Pfeiffer, W.S., and J. Boogerd. Technical Communication: A Practical Approach. Toronto: Pearson/Prentice Hall. $85.00 (3rd, 4th or custom edition) ?????????

apsc

ewww... apsc..

the shit is easy.

I didn't even buy the text book nor went to many of the classes. it's like common sense. all u need to do is remember the pattern that it asks u to write things in. the structures of the document and thats it.

Take this class very seriously.

For students with very little experience in the field, your mark for this class will help you open doors.

what the eh. ECCT requirement starting September 09? AFAIK it's already been implemented. I had to TAKE the ECCT and pass it as a pre-req for 201. I took the ECCT last November (or was it October?) and passed. I'll be taking 201 in September.

Is there another ECCT in 2nd year or am I just getting confuzzled?

to take apsc 201 in September of 2009, you need to have passed the ecct test. Hence, I must pass apsc 201 in the summer otherwise i'm screwed in september.
To get into apsc for this summer semester, you had to apply for the waiting list if you don't have the ecct requirement. Then they will move you into an actual class if there's space. Luckily I had an early registration time so I got into the waiting list pretty early.

TIPS: go to every class, read the suggested sections of your text, and do practice runs of the exam material.

I did all of those things and it helped me get a grade of 90+.
The class can be easy and people i took it with got 70+ with just enough effort.
