To all the uni students out there....

.... are you folks all ready to go back to class?

I'm not. I could use another week or so yet! Oh well. This just means each passing day brings us that much closer to summer.

been back a week... what are you talkin' about?

I-Hate-Hulse · 01-08-2005, 05:16 PM

As I recall the U of Calgary has block week courses the first week of a semester. Cram a course all into 1 week. A little crazy I know, but it's optional. Take comfort, they finish a week later than everyone.

Oh sorry...... the U of Calgary goes back on the 10th.

MRC (where I go) was back this week but all classes (at least mine) were cancelled.

I'm ready to go back though. After 8 years in the working world I like school a lot more.

what are you talking jiri? I thought you were at Ambush?

Maritime Q-Scout · 01-08-2005, 05:39 PM

Dal went back last Tuesday, as did most Atlantic Universities so it seems... Acadia however starts up again Monday.

Muta, I was kidding about the "what are you talking about?" usually I don't forget to put an emoticon in... odd

I go to U of C, been back for a week already, have a project due on monday, and a final on tuesday.

As far as block weeks go. I am in a 6 month course, and the classes are set up like block weeks. 1 course at a time, done in 2-3 weeks. I like this format much better. Classes are done quicker.

This semester's gonna be pretty difficult for me. Thank god there's no hockey

But, it'll be that much closer to being done in December.

BlackArcher101 · 01-08-2005, 07:01 PM

Decided to not go back and work instead. :P I'm so happy right now.

Superfraggle · 01-08-2005, 07:04 PM

actually, yes, I am ready. But I'll be ready for the semester to end in about 2 weeks

peter12 · 01-08-2005, 07:58 PM

I am just about ready to go back. All my required courses are this semester so it should be a bit more interesting than last semester.

How did finals go for everyone?

Some went really, really well. Some not so well. Evened out in the end with a 3.46...barely missed that 3.5 I wanted though

InTheSlot · 01-09-2005, 05:43 PM

My classes started on Friday the 7th. (most people started Thursday though...I only go MWF) -- Still, what jackass had the idea to start classes at the end of a week?!

:angry:

How many days do all of you go to school, and what hours? I am only taking 4 classes this semester, 3 of them MWF 9 til 12 (each class is 53minutes long) and my 4th class is only once a week on Tuesday nights, but it's from 6pm til 9pm.

I am still on internship, but I am taking ECON 209 this semester with Schlenker.

Get the old Midterms and Finals ready!!!

FlamesAllTheWay · 01-09-2005, 06:56 PM

Bleh, I miss enough class that Christmas break seemed like normal school life for me. Wish we had more time off, but after a couple of weeks i'll most likely trim my schedule down to four or five classes a week so it'll be like i'm back on some sort of a break again.

I love not having mandatory attendence in school! UofC gets their money so they're happy, I don't have to go to class so i'm happy. We get along nicely...

Ozy_Flame · 01-09-2005, 07:21 PM

Just finishing things up in Haskayne, so most of my classes have no finals, are participation-based, and never occur on fridays.

Ahhhh, it's nice to finally escape the required-courses crunch. =)

Pagal4321 · 01-09-2005, 07:51 PM

Finals went alright....that damn 2.85 GPA..should been a 3, I hate how teachers are all unavailable till after marks are offical.

TOTF...ECON 209, that class was hilarious. And you'll get an A for sure with that mindset.....seiously.

This semester should suck big time. Any finance majors from U of C that have taken a course that involves this book..
Brealey and Myers, Corporate Finance, been told it was FNCE 601 or something. Need some imput on that textbook...

HelloHockeyFans · 01-09-2005, 08:07 PM

No school this semester!! CO-OPing this term! WOOHOO!

That was the last course I took and the easiest. Schlenker taught that course to me....8 years ago. [/b][/quote]
Is Shedd still teaching Econ 201? Of my profs who considered english to be a 1st language, he had to be the worst prof I ever had. (aside from Brown from the physics department) Guy wrote the textbook so he just read from it verbatim. Not that I was there to hear him - I decided the Campus Cove was a better place to refine my knowledge.
