[koreancabbage]

Anyone got their osap funds applied to their tuition yet? I signed the confirmation of enrollment forms on Sept 1st and it still hasn't been applied to my tuition.

it doesn't come in till a week AFTER school starts

[Eminson]

I hear if the book is still current and being used, they will give you back a pretty low % of what they sell it for, otherwise they wont give anything at all for it.

So around how much I can get for selling them the 5th edition book + the Study Guide & Solutions Manual?

The 6th edition brand new book(without the Study Guide & Solutions Manual) are selling for $170(with tax) at Ryerson bookstore.

[tnguyenviet]

Email the prof...

Why are you acting like you know more than them when your asking just as much?

if it is the same thing then sell it for what you got it for or even $30 or so more since it comes with the study and sol manual.

[Eminson]

[Eminson]

You can set the price?...to Ryerson bookstore?I thought they are gonna tell me how much they are giving to me...

[XxXSnake23XxX]

ohhhh i thought u ment sell it yourself!
then idk they might give you just %50 what the books cost for store credit or 25% cash... thats how the discount book store works (off campus one)

[Mayyhem]

Does anyone know the directions to get to the discount victoria book store from TRS?

[XxXSnake23XxX]

Does anyone know the directions to get to the discount victoria book store from TRS?

go past dundas square and when u get to the new CITY TV building/victoria street, make a right and its on the right side.. you will see a blue sign above the door that says university discount book store serving students since 19XX

[Eminson]

How about the on campus one?the Ryerson Student Campus bookstore?

[XxXSnake23XxX]

no clueee

[unleashed]

[QUOTE=Eminson;9404388]How about the on campus one?the Ryerson Student Campus bookstore?[/QUOTE

Theirs one in the Student Union Building on Gould street. Just walk downstairs to the basement and you can't miss it. Btw, this is a used book store where other students from previous years post their books.

[Shimso]

The Ryerson used book room sucks.
If you have a yearning to get a used book for almost the same price a same new book because of students who're expecting too much money its great, otherwise its near impossible to get anything good. Last year every single book I needed was MORE expensive to buy it used and missing the various codes and study guides than it was to buy it new...

[Ayre]

My POL128 tutorial with Fournier still took place on Wednesday and it was also before the first lecture(which was yesterday).

[Albina]

how's Robert Bajko for ITM 102?
can't find him on ratemyprofs.com
:lol:

[Joker12]

does anyone have MKT 621 12-3pm?? I desparately need this section!! I have the section from 3-6 if anyone could trade with me!!!!

I've looked for more than 2 weeks, practically NO ONE drops =\

If you have Peter Wilson, you can just attend any section - just talk to him ahead of time and let him know you're going to be switching sections (unofficially). He allows this also he encourages you to pick a partner from the other sections for your group work.

[arbab01]

so I thought i would be getting 1000$ entrance scholar ship because my high school average made me eligible to do so. however the first week of school has past and i still have not heard a word about my money.

No, he said he doesn't allow that anymore unless we have a valid reason or something..like work, but i dunno if he needed like identification to prove we have work

Ramss- search- type "C" before the course code- look for "distance ed.- internet" where it says Location, for your course.

[Fluid]

liek search CMKT403

[geestring]

so I only have to pay a $75 penalization fee if i dont pay for winter tuition?

I can't get a work study job unless I'm signed up for the Winter semester now.
I was trying to get away with not paying until january because osap only gives you half of the money each semester.

Is it just me or are the osap students getting charged extra because they can't pay full tuition?

[kingrukus]

you need to search CPOL, I found one POL128 class open, but its not online, there might not even be an online course for this class (I could be wrong).

To take it online, same procedure as day school, find an open course and enroll into it. There might be a list of online courses on the Chang school website, have a look.

okay I just edited my post to show MTH108 only. Someone told me earlier today that the book was being used in mth125, but i guess he was mistaken.

I'm pretty sure no downloading is allowed on the Ryerson network. I believe they have a 3 strike system that bans your MAC address after the 3rd incident.

downloaded alot last year, but honestly it really depends on where you are speed wise. there are a few places that get optimum speeds

[awaisuk]

So is there a limit to downloading from http or bittorent?

lol i just dropped that course for a different elective that teacher wasnt making the class any fun

[Mansech]

I downloaded a lot for a span of like 2 weeks (megaupload) and then one day when I entered my login info I got an access denied message. The next day it started working again but I stopped downloading after that

[nx6288]

its fine to direct download, i never got any msgs or anything even though i was downloading xbox 360 backups off of megaupload. its just torrent that u'll get caught.

[awaisuk]

Can anyone tell me which course is good and easy to take online?

I need an elective from Lower Liberal Elective (TABLE A)

[coriolis]

what do you get speed wise with direct?

It varies greatly for me. In the PODxxx rooms I get about 10-80 depending on the day. In the RBB, I vary from 100-300. In the Engineering building, I get around 100-300. In Kerr Hall, I don't get internet, I get a yellow exclamation mark on my wireless.

same for me though i haven't tried kerr hall yet.

[Fluid]

i had a screenshot of this before I reformatted.

torrents: I was seeding some file at 2 mb/sec and the fastest download I got was about 1.2mb/sec on torrents.

Direct downloads: I have reached a maximum of 3.2 but usually average anywhere between 0.5 - 3 mb. No I am not telling you where so all you guys can jump on my speeds.

[Edengrave]

Any reason at all to keep my textbooks receipt? (for when I file my return next year for ex.) I heard it's not needed.

Not needed for taxes but you can keep them anyways if it makes you feel comfortable...

[Marky_Mark]

downloaded alot last year, but honestly it really depends on where you are speed wise. there are a few places that get optimum speeds
Here's some places I've used the internet to download around campus
Glass Building at Church + Gould = Really terrible speeds depending on the room you're in (a lot of the times internet won't even connect for me)
Kerr Hall = Not terrible, just not the best, at least you can connect in most places (the little study rooms also seem to have pretty decent connections)
Library = Decent, depending on where you are and how many other people are on line
POD = About the same as the library, I find there's a little less congestion though around mid-year when there aren't as many people online
Rogers Business Building = Really freakin fast in most places

Yah... I download all my TV shows so I don't need to pay for cable :razz:

Btw, has anyone taken LAW122 Business Law w/ Alkoby?
It's an elective, first class tomorrow.
A couple of my friends took it and said they did terribad, they're not the sharpest knives in the drawer tho
Trying to get a feel on if the class is really that bad :)

question, what does wileyPLUS do and do we really need it?

[AftComet]

I have a few questions I hope people can clarify for me.

1. I bought a book from the Ryerson Bookstore on Friday. My friend gave me his copy for free. I still haven't opened the one I bought. Will they give me credit if I return it unopened on Monday?

2. Where can I buy a casio fx-9750g plus?

3. How long is the credit good for at the Bookstore. Will I be able to use it next semester?

4. Thanks for all the help!

[Mansech]

question, what does wileyPLUS do and do we really need it?
On the site you can access the textbook online, powerpoint notes, practice quizzes, summaries, etc. So not really needed but for some classes the teacher may put up quizzes through WileyPLUS and it will be worth marks.

[Skip2MyLou]

is it possible to swap into a class that is full by going in person to enroll?
if so, where can i do this?
i wanna swap my gms401 for the other gms401 class but it currently has 503 enrolled out of a capacity of 500.

[vesatoskala89]

Chang courses are treated the same as any other course so if you take chang courses that are required in your program then you'll be fine. It's probably too late to apply for the fall chang courses now, but i had a friend who applied to transfer to ryerson before the winter semester. You would need to take courses at your current university that you know ryerson has equivalents for (call in to the department) and then apply well ahead of time for the winter semester. Winter admissions aren't guaranteed to open for all programs though.

[asdisme]

Does anyone have a CKPM212 course shown on their "online courses"? I'm not even enrolled in that course or added to my schedule, but I'm receiving stuff from that prof :confused: on my ramms.

I checked out the chang school winter 2010 courses and found about 4 courses required in the first year of biomedical engineering and they are open...tomorrow I will talk with ryerson about first possible direct admission and if nothing then ask for chang school courses starting in the winter. ps. I plan to drop all but 1 or 2 of my courses this year and use them as transfer credits to ryerson (calculus I, and maybe calculus II/linear algebra)

CKPM is a challenging course. You're getting information regarding one of the certificate courses to project management.

If you're not enrolled for it, suggest you to remove it soon otherwise you pay for the tuition fee.

The problem is that it isn't part of my courses/tuition... You know on the front page of my.ryerson that tell you which courses you are enrolled in called "online courses" It shows it there and their announcements and such, but when i click on my schedule and account I do not have that course enrolled at all.. I don't even know what this course is even about. :confused:

Although I am enrolled in Project Management for Winter session, could that be the reason?

just email the prof and say your not in the course yet you get the course info and i think they should be able to remove it, as long as your not registered in your schedule i am sure you are safe

Yeah will have to do that, but just weird and shocking because I randomly got announcements from them.

i wanna swap my gms401 for the other gms401 class but it currently has 503 enrolled out of a capacity of 500.

You would probably need to go and look up the professor and speak to them directly.
Remember that the more people in their class the more exams / essays they or their TAs need to grade.
Also, depending on the classroom there are probably fire regulation rules for how many people can be per class.

The only way to find out is to ask
Good luck :)

[undacova]

did you do things like stem plots types of data like qualitative and quantitative?

we did different ways of representing data like tables graphs and plots but we didnt go into the types ie stem

also we did definition of qualitative and quantitative and a few examples in class, also we learned about our learning styles,

ie visual, auditory or kinestithic

Chang courses are treated the same as any other course so if you take chang courses that are required in your program then you'll be fine. It's probably too late to apply for the fall chang courses now, but i had a friend who applied to transfer to ryerson before the winter semester. You would need to take courses at your current university that you know ryerson has equivalents for (call in to the department) and then apply well ahead of time for the winter semester. Winter admissions aren't guaranteed to open for all programs though.

Do u know if this applies to biology and chemistry programs because chang school courses are unacceptable for engineering

I guess you need an iPhone/iPod Touch to know this...

But does anyone know if Ryerson blocked access to their WiFi from iPhones? I used to log on (through authentication) and use it just fine last year, now it never connects.

I may not know all the details but...

trimentoring - partners you up with students who "show" you how to be prepared for university. Youll probably get more help from rfd forums.

tutoring - I forget where but they have upper students who provide tutoring. I think they will teach you more in bus100. If not keep your eyes open for emails/bulletins.

What can you do with textbooks that are old editions that they no longer using?

um...I bought an old edition chem book + study guide&solution book for $100 and I just sent out an email(about selling it for $100, through blackboard) to everyone in my chem class, and after 30mins, I got like 8-9 emails from my classmates, they all wanna buy my old edition chem book...and I sold it for $100...lol...then I bought the new edition book(2nd hand) for $90...saved $10!!!LOL

Even the textbook is old edition, as long as the prof said to the class that the content of the book is almost the same & you guys wont miss anything important, ppl are still willing to buy old edition books! You just need to email to prof and ask him about using old edition book and if he says its ok, then ppl will probably buy ur old edition book.

acc110 is acceptable to all business managment streams so if you take acc110 and still wanna continue with itm u can

acc100 I for all business streams except for acconting and finance so if you take acc 100 and wanna go to accountig or finance you will have to take acc110

Here is an answer you will like;
You can do course intentions Sept. 28th - Oct. 2nd.However, the regular course intentions/open enrollment period for the winter semester is the week before school starts in Jan. So; Tuesday Dec. 29th - Jan 2nd. I believe it goes in reverse order this time. (4th year, 3rd year, 2nd year, 1st year, then Part-time & Everyone.) Hope That Helps!

you could still drop, but you wont get 100% of your fee's back (doesnt matter if you have 5-7 courses)

I was grabbing a coffee from a Tim Horton's in a cafeteria area beneath the library and the place was mainly empty- except for a few little friends who came out to say hello. I was sitting near the wall, and looking at a table about 20 ft away when I saw a couple mice come out from under an air conditioning unit that was underneath the window. They came out a few times and picked up little bits they found on the floor. They were pretty big. I left a couple minutes later.

I'm very happy with it. I'm in second year (Finance Major) and I've already found a relevant job and (without going into details) I wouldn't have been able to get it elsewhere.

My opinion is that what you're being taught from most schools is the same, so it really boils down to the job that you get because as the cliche goes, the first job after graduation is what's most important to future employers, not something as relatively meaningless as the location of undergraduate school's campus. You will get more support and connections at some of the bigger name B-schools, but from what I've seen I think the difference is not as big as many would like to make it seem.

My prof said you could email them for a refund, but then I asked Lyryx and got this response:
Unfortunately your professor was mistaken. We no longer offer anything for the price of $10.95 and you only qualify for the re-registration discount (around $15-25$) if you have registered for a course using the same textbook and edition in the past.

As it sounds like you have not signed up for anything accounting, you will have to pay the full $41.95.

On my course outline it says $10.95 only for students registered in the Chang version of FIN300 (so CFIN300) and if they have registered for Lyryx in the past.

If you go to the discount bookstore its like $1 or $2 cheaper than purchasing online.

You don't need to keep any receipts for anything.

On your tax return books costs are calculated based on a formula rather than what it actually is.
You get a printable form from Ryerson (on RAMSS) that'll have info that you need to attach and include to your tax return.
I believe residence costs are also calculated as a formula but I could be wrong.

[LordofthePing]

When paying tuition online, who do you list as the payee? On the Ryerson website (http://www.ryerson.ca/currentstudents/fees_finances/payonline/) it says "Ryerson University - Tuition & Res Fees", but on when I'm logged into my online banking it only lists "Ryerson University"?

[evolutionXI]

its the same thing...ryerson university is just fine.

[mrhellas71]

Whens the best time to get the metropass at the student centre, its 11 am, just tried to go, and the line was ridiculous.

I assume right when it opens would be the best time?

The line is always long, but it moves pretty fast. You should probably give yourself an hour though.

when it opens, i think either 8:30 or 9 am

[Digital_Domain]

If it's a weekday and there's 3 people working and the line is only to the stairs/couches, it's like a 45min wait. If there's 1 person working and the lineup goes all the way to back and starts looping around, 3hrs. Best time to go is on the weekends, Saturday morning IMO is the best time. I've walked in at 10-11am and walked straight up to the desk and bought my metropass in less than 5 minutes. Weekdays early in the morning when they first open up (9am I think) as soon as they start to sell them is your next best chance, expect to wait 20mins to an hour though.

[mrhellas71]

Got it today :), three people were working and the line was up to the couches, took like 15-20 minutes.

u need to fill out by friday oct 2nd im pretty sure!! do it now at rsu website.

[Edengrave]

Couple of weeks gone. 1st term tests coming around, and I am a different person lol. Thought I'd share some of my impressions:

- Some profs style suit your own way of learning. Some others don't. deal with it. ex: Phys prof is an awesome person, but her voice literally gives me headaches:o so apart from the participation points, I gain little from attending, and bring my laptop to pass the time. in between clickers questions. speaking of laptops...

- Absolutely no need for a tablet/pc or laptop for notes. No class requires taking extensive notes anyway. in fact, unless you are really struggling, takes everything from blackboard, and build your own notes at home, in comfort.

- In very large classes, lectures are either too slow or too fast. I have to study 2+ hour for every hour of lecture anyway, so I often skip the lecture. in fact if not for those "evil" clickers I would never be there, as I am much more efficient studying from the book.

- No time No time No time. even after cutting all those classes, after studying is done, I have little left lol. How do you regular attendees do it?

- Orientation: Useless. 90% of the Info is on the website. Thanks God it's pass fail.

- Biology: Fascinating. But you don't need the prof. She comes, fly through her slides, and disappear. (Gilbride) what are you left with? Your trusty book that's what. :) Labs are nice tough.

- Chemistry: Fascinating. Great Prof, Livelier lectures. but you still don't need him. For some reasons he doesn't put his completed lectures on Blackboard. the skeleton his usualy enough anyway. and lectures notes are just guidelines on what to study. skip the middleman I say. or I would if not for those damn clickers.

- Physics: Very nice prof. you can tell she's passionate about the subject. About the only class I struggle a little in. really have to fight to pay attention here because her voice gives me trouble, and unfortunately 10% of the marks are participation points. on the good side she does give a lot of Bonus points.

- Maths: smooth ride. do the exercices, go to the labs, you are all set. and Kolosa is fun.

-Programing: Hamelin is the man. makes the simplest thing even more simple. you can't fail this class unless you want to :)

Eco 204 (Fung): yeah I am taking it out of phase, as I know for sure I am going to take an option in economics anyway: My favorite prof by 100 miles. one more reason not to use ratemyprof :) her presentations are simply "perfect", her lectures enjoyable, and interactive. her accent is strong, but quite understandable. and absolutely everything is on blackboard. she probably has it easy because the class is much smaller as compared to science's classes. about 20 students in my section

[Digital_Domain]

- Absolutely no need for a tablet/pc or laptop for notes. No class requires taking extensive notes anyway. in fact, unless you are really struggling, takes everything from blackboard, and build your own notes at home, in comfort.
Completely depends on the class. I've had profs that just wrote "hi" and when the class is on BB. Other profs give you slides and other material on BB but give very helpful hints in class or then give info in class that's neither in the textbook or on BB so YMMY on this statement.
- Orientation: Useless. 90% of the Info is on the website. Thanks God it's pass fail.
Should have gone to frosh for your program, generally way better and much more helpful than the general 10 cent tour.

Haven't had her as a prof, but I've herd stories about her. A lot of people I've known skip class and just use the notes on BB. To each their own I guess.

[nx6288]

damn we in week 4/5 (i dont know) already?...looks like i gotta start opening my books :cheesygri

I've heard those stories too. For my part, I am well satisfied. if the other profs are indeed better, I am looking forward to ny other ECO classes next year

I have gilbride for micrbio and i find her style useless... she just reads off the slides.

whos your chem prof? dr. george?

[Edengrave]

Yes, Dr George. very interesting class, If too large to make it really useful. I wonder what he's like in a smaller setting.

and his tests are interesting too..
you know those fill in the blank stuff, yeah throw those out, basically useless on those tests.

i thought you picked them up..

No, I remember getting a cheque in the mail. When I check online on the OSAP website when the cheque was issue to be last year, it says Oct 6 2008 ... so the day is getting close.

For this year it says for me that its currently being processed.

Dude, bring the calculator he said we would not need to the test! He absolutely lied! :o

It was easy, but there was"just" enough time to finish it, and that's not counting the time you waste doing those simple but tedious additions/substractions/mutiplications by hand.

How to change from first year ITM to Business Management? Accounting/Finance/Marketing major.

Luckily first yr ITM and BM take similar courses. I suggest you take all your ITM courses you are registered for in first year and you can get them all transferred over when you switch over to BM.

I believe around January you apply through an internal application at Ryerson for you to switch between programs. Keep you GPA up and you should be good to go. Talk to the BM office on the 7th floor in TRS or the ITM office on the 8th floor for more details.

[omchow]

Some of my friends started getting cheques in the mail for the TTG.

[omchow]

So I got the 70 dollar deferral fee for my outstanding winter fees, which has shown under my fall account. I won't be charged interest on that right?

[mrdependent]

Some of my friends started getting cheques in the mail for the TTG.

alright ill start checking my mailbox from now on

You should also check the status on the osap site to see if they finished processing your application and a cheque has been mailed out.

Two questions:

1) Did anyone go to today's PCS181 tutorial? Could anyone please tell me if there's anything to note? I had to skip it to go do my GMS plant tour. Thanks.

2) Where else other than the Ryerson Bookstore can I buy a Royal XE calculator? I have a midterm tomorrow and my dinky little XE28 isn't working. I put it a new battery and it still won't turn on....worst comes to worse I'll have to do the calculations in my head :|

[Kingpin24]

yes....

when and where?

[XxXSnake23XxX]

when and where?

mostly word of mouth, but i assume that once mids are over there are going to be alot.. dont worry.. if you talk to ppl in school, u will hear about it

The $70 deferral fee was added to my account today but I dont know why?? Before it was $0.00.. but i have to pay ~$500 for winter fees.. except it said its due in the future. Help anyone?

exactly why.. u didn't pay all your fee's (fall + winter) up front so thats why u gotta pay 70

[moco9191]

exactly why.. u didn't pay all your fee's (fall + winter) up front so thats why u gotta pay 70

hmm okay because the $500 was added like 2 weeks ago, i didnt know i had to pay it asap since it said the due date was in the future :( fml

[omchow]

The $70 dollar fee is a new thing Ryerson implemented this year. If you have any outstanding Winter 2010 fees then an automatic $70 fee is added to your account rather than interest being accumulated on that at the end of each month.

My question is that, I also have the $70 dollar fee added to my account but its been added to my fall account and not for my winter. Will interest accumulate on that $70 dollar fee?

[Edengrave]

Will interest accumulate on that $70 dollar fee?

My guess is that it would. Otherwise, they'd have put it with the winter fees.

I am in the same situation. what's interesting is that I overpaid my fall fees by $70, anticipating this, but they just debited my winter fees at the time.
so I had to pay it again. should have waited I guess. Anyway it's only $70. not too much to pay for a 3-months+ deferral.

[rooney11]

probably not yet for winter semester.

For fall semester, you can still drop courses, but you probably only get less than or equal to 50% of the course fee, back.

IIRC, the midterm I had was half MC/half short essays. The essays were fair (he gave us a heads up of what the questions would be similar to) and mostly needed examples from the readings, but the multiple choice was really, really hard (at least for me it was).
It seemed that the questions in general were more based on the reader, but I threw in examples and quotes from the lectures.

I'm not sure if he's changed the format this year, though.

Is he still using the reader from Alicos' that has the first five readings listed in the contents as:
-The Study of Politics
-The Media
-The Hollywood Studio System 1930-1949
-Canadian Media Ownership in an Age of Global Megamedia
-Earth to Hollywood - You win

I'm hoping its the same reader I have from last year :D

Yes exactly, that's the same reader we're using now, same first 5 articles that will be on the midterm, with the blue cover, and it's from Alicos!

What are the specifics that he will be looking for or asking in the test? Do I really have to memorize every single detail in the reader? Because any of these little single things could be a question in the midterm...and it's nearly impossible to memorize everything...

Well from what i was told from one of the TA's. Midterm will be unit 1-2 and the 5 reader articles and it'll consist of MC/SA. The movie "Wag the dog", he said will not be on the exam from what i recall (I have him on mon/tue). And yes the last 2 classes, one was the movie, one was sort of discussing the movie etc...

i heard that in the 1st year they kick out some of the students cos there arent enough seats for all the 1st year students in the 2nd year ... is it true?

say in the 1st yrs my overall average is just 60%<< wht happens?

i am in electrical engineering program and it really scares me :cry:

I don't think they kick them out, but more like students fail and end up on probation or suspension. Suspension meaning they have to wait a semester to re-enroll. I'm pretty sure this is standard across all programs but at what grades are considered probation and suspension differ. I'm sure an EE will drop by sooner or later and be better able to say what it is.

Anyone else get random fees added to their RAMSS account AFTER they paid? I've herd of $0.51 but I got hit with $37 charge (it says athletic fees W2010). Shouldn't this charge have been there when I paid in the first place?

When is a good time to go to the RAC when it isn't too busy? I may be moving downtown and making it my primary gym, switching from goodlife...but I am afraid to if the place is always busy...

i find the WORST times are in the morning 6-10 and rush hour time 4-6 every other time its empty!

I dont know about mornings, but after 1-2 its starts to get busy

[mrdependent]

I dont know about mornings, but after 1-2 its starts to get busy

nah from what i see usually it gets busy around 11 am and then is pretty packed. The gym is usually full with people like me playing basketball and the weight room is usually empty around 8-10 in the morning

anyone have problems connecting to the wireless ryerson network at the library? i can't even connect on it at all! well maybe for a minute and then it disconnects..

i was on the 8th and 10th floor

i was on the 8th and 10th floor

same! trying to connect around 2/3 pm..

prob just down

[omchow]

And is the ryerson wireless network in the library a lot slower compared to other buildings such as Ted Rogers. Not sure if anyone else noticed that.

[OpportunityChaos]

ya wtf i was on the 10th floor at 10am and 10 minutes into my connection my internet got disconnected. it happened 2 times in the 2 hours i was there. was kinda annoying since i thought there was something wrong with my laptop.


btw snake23, so just to make it clear, the busiest hours for you at the RAC is opening - 10am? i've been thinking of using the RAC as soon as it opens for 1-2 hours since im usually at the RAC during evenings and its packed. but if the RAC is also packed in the morning then i have little reason to wake up that early to go there :(.

[elton5354]

same! trying to connect around 2/3 pm..

i couldn't get on all day i was there! until 8pm i got fed up and thought it was my laptop's problem and went home lol

[XxXSnake23XxX]

i personally think that it depends on the day...

I never go in the morning since i live in oakville... i would have top wake up at 4 inorder to get there.. plus i have class at 9 so that aint going to happen... i usually go on tues/wends/thurs at around 6/7/8 and its empty!

[omchow]

i usually go on tues/wends/thurs at around 6/7/8 and its empty!

Yea a lot of my friends go around that time and in the middle of week and they say its not as packed and close to empty.

Might be a silly question but is the RAC membership included in the tuition fees because I have a friend in CE who had to pay an extra 35 dollars or something to use the gym.

I have a few questions I was hoping you guys could answer:

1. Is there an academic penalty if I drop a liberal course before November 13th?
2. How do I drop said course?
3. Is it true that it costs the same amount to take 6-8 courses in a semester as it does to take 6?
4. Do they offer liberals in Winter 2010?
5. I haven't made a course intention for a liberal for Winter 2010. Would I still be able to enroll in a course?

Thanks so much!!!

1. i dont think so... its either you get an incomplete on your transcript or it doesn't show up (someone correct me)
2. do it on RAMMS
3. Yes.. everything after 6 is basically "free" but have fun trying to fit that into your sced.. let alone juggle 7-8 courses.
4. Yes the do.. but some are only offered one semester. (ie x course is only offered in fall, not winter)
5. Yes.. around dec, before winter 2010

1. Straight from the Ryerson website: "November 13: Final date to withdraw from an undergraduate program in good academic standing."
2. Go to RAMSS, Click Enroll --> Click Drop --> Click Fall 2009 --> Click on the class you want to drop --> Click "Drop Selected Classes" and follow the process
3. Yes, 6-8 courses cost the same amount, 5 courses will cost less, and so will 4 courses.
4. Yes, Liberals are offered in all three semesters (Fall, Winter, & Spring/Summer)
5. Either in late December or Early January, when the enrollment opens, you will have the opportunity to enroll in any class, as long as it has seats available, classes go quick, so you need to be there at the right time and also need to have luck on your side.

lol, I need a new jacket, Opt-Out cheques if I remember correctly from last year should be available at the Student Centre on Gould street around the first or second week of November. Anyways, they will send an email around when they available for pick-up, $280 dollars here I come.

From one of those Ryerson websites: "Once you have successfully completed the opt out process on line you can pick up your refund cheque in November from the Member Services Office."

an opt-out cheque is for your dental plan... if you have one, as in you are covered by your parents, you can opt out of it for the entire year and get back $280 from your paid tuition. Its too late now, but you can do it next year

I've found it varies depending on where your sitting on the floor even. I can be in the hall getting 500KB/s, and 2MB/s like 30 feet away in a lab.

It depends on how many laptops are connected to a particular repeater in the building thus the varying speeds. If you want good speeds, then wait till after 5 and the bandwidth is freed up and you get faster and consistent speeds.

This was all over the place, even over a wired connection. First was in a ITM class, so I didn't expect much there (lol), then in a law class where no one has a laptop and then finally plugged in an office. Never got higher than 200kB/s.

Today was decent, I was getting 600-1500kB/s in the laptop room over WiFi. Highest I've gotten is 70Mbps+ in TRS. I'll have to try the library out sometime.

useless? that book was amazing. Had examples on how to do problems plus plenty of questions on specific topics and even the answers to them to make sure you got it right. I wouldn't call that useless. If anything, I got by with that book instead of the prof's notes.

the amount of email from people "losing" their FIN300 notes pales in comparison to when everyone was trying to get groups for GMS...~50 emails in a couple hours.

Wifi tops out at like 2-3MB/s (~25Mbps). There's a reason why I carry my own patch cable with me, plus lab techs freak out when I start ripping cables out from the back of lab computers, lol.

damnn i got 50% on my calculus test which was worth 25%, seeing how the course gets harder meaning the test will get harder i doubt i will do any better so should i drop the course and protect my gpa since im doing good in other classes.

you can attend even if your not registered, in all my classes they never check, and i doubt they ever would.

[rooney11]

need help with question 12 for fin300 practice midterm... the one with the brother in law...thanks

first you need to calculate what he owes you:

N= 4
PV= 2000
i/r= 10%

You will get FV= 2928.20

Then you need to find the payments he makes (PMT)

N=5
i/r= 10%
PV = 2928.2 (the amount he owed after the first four years)
FV= 0

Find PMT? (PMT=772.45)

Gd luck, if you still dont get it, just reply back

[TechRock]

^thank you, now i see my mistake, i thought it was n=5 then find payment

I wish we had one aghhhhhh. And do we have an advantage to having semestered 11 courses? UofT has 5 classes a YEAR, we have 11.

They have it easier, no? Not to mention the so called easiest class "Astronomy" is killing me. Wish I took Popular Culture or Politics and Film.

[Kingpin24]

.... why dont we have a reading week in nov, when everyone else does?!

When is reading for ryerson?

[Shimso]

When is reading for ryerson?
We only get a reading week sometime in the middle of the winter semester, unlike York (and maybe some others) that get another one right around now because they eliminated some days that were previously holidays.

The explanation for Ryerson not getting a fall reading week is that there isn't enough time to keep 13 weeks of class & get a week off. I'm not quite buying that, but whatever.





And for astronomy I can't seem to get past 1.5 pages. Everytime I click on Word I feel like falling asleep :lol:

hahaha when i took astronomy..the big bang theory (the show) just came out and I had no idea what it was about so I thought it was some mini-series documentary about the big bang so I downloaded all the episodes to watch to gather information. Obviously, the actual show didn't help with my paper but I did base my entire paper on the introduction part of the show and I ended up with a A- :cheesygri

Q2:
n=6x12 I=? pv=135000 PMT=2215.1 Fv=0
I= 0.4708289727% <--- it is already in APR so you just convert it to EAR

(1+i)^12 = (1+EAR)
EAR = (1+ 0.004708289727)^12-1
= 5.798%
or the lazy way
n=72 PV=135000 PMT = 2215.1 FV=0 P/y=12 C/y=1

now you can help me for q18 and 23 =P

thats when its at peak, the library is a big NO-NO, during this time, your best bet would be finding an empty classroom either in the old Victoria buildings or any other buildings, there might be some in TRS, but that depends on luck.

I have some people at work from this university.. they don't have much good things to say about it lol..

One of the guys was an engineering graduate saying basically they take your money for 4-5-6 yrs that you do the program and then they let you go into a hostile job market with no experience what so ever to compete with Waterloo and UT guys who have tons of coop experience so the Ry guys end up doing like tech support IT jobs until they get their career sorted out.. something like 5 years before one is settled in..

A few years ago I did some contract work for a Canadian company, RIM.. mostly Waterloo asian guys.. smart people but a bit arrogant I think..

How does this school do ranking wise in the market for engineering??

I was in Toronto in May of this year doing some consulting for another Waterloo company, PLATESPIN, and I had a chance to visit this campus.. its quite urban I have to admit :)

+1
There's other spots too if you're willing to give up on certain things... e.g. wifi, outlets, cell phone signal, although you could call most of these a benefit when trying to study.

I'm already done all my midterms and gotten all my marks back. One class had less than 24hr turn around time for marks - way better than other classes that take like 2-3 weeks.

[TheRed]

ZOMG....FIN300 Midterm today was soo darn easyyy... but thank goodness it was worth it studying like crazy that answering the test questions was just an intuitive away...anybody else finding it that way?

I guess understanding is far more important than just memorizing things...

[asdisme]

What happens if your course load for this semester falls into part-time does it affect anything? But for Winter it is back to full course load.

[TechBoi]

Rant:

Who else is in this course find that Jym is jerk (unclear and inconsiderate). Why is he TA/GA -ing this course, this guy is Chemistry PhD? I Honestly I don't value his opinion, but the guy is marking our work, WTF!? And what a dick move by Wise for pulling fast one, changing the outline in 60seconds begin of class, moving week 9 to week 8. Every1 that didn't show up lost marks and he refuse to give out the details of the group work. (I was there, so I am speaking on behave of those that didn't show up b/c studying for their next midterm, because we're suppose to be watching a video).

They want everything to be exactly detailed (If your assignment is 1 second late = zero). But fail to provide clear information on assignments and takes forever to upload marks (still waiting).

ME: "Wise you used to be Cool!"

[Shimso]

Anyone else getting calls from Ryerson?

Most likely asking for donations from your parents. I told the guy that I was paying for my own tuition and can't afford donations and he never called me back.

[cyberspyder]

We only get a reading week sometime in the middle of the winter semester, unlike York (and maybe some others) that get another one right around now because they eliminated some days that were previously holidays.

The explanation for Ryerson not getting a fall reading week is that there isn't enough time to keep 13 weeks of class & get a week off. I'm not quite buying that, but whatever.





And for astronomy I can't seem to get past 1.5 pages. Everytime I click on Word I feel like falling asleep :lol:

Its in Feb...cause of Family Day.

I hate my courses...I have no effing break on tests...test every Friday since end of Sept. till the end of the semester...WTF

[o1Jeff]

what course are you taking that requires you to have a test every friday? :confused:

[cyberspyder]

engineering...algebra, calc, physics, chem

[kingrukus]

engineering...algebra, calc, physics, chem

i had to go thru the same crap in first year engineering - an exam every friday, both semesters, from september thru november

[kingrukus]

anyone know when the fall 2009 exam timetable will be released? i am excited...:o

[Edengrave]

cold calls asking for donations...:|!!! Universities are that proactive? or is it just Ryerson? What nerves! I would think that would be counterproductive, but I guess some folks have money to spare. Tuition just about kills me, and I expect it to increase next year, so I'd really resent getting a call like that.

[dilr86]

So I started this semester with 5 courses, and now might end up with only 2 if I go through with dropping my last course. Is this going to affect my standing in Ryerson in any way going from a full-time student to someone taking only 2 courses?

I would like to know as well, in a similar situation. Also how will this affect OSAP?

Thanks

passing the course is above 50% right? and getting a 2.0 gpa is 63%?

[Shimso]

passing the course is above 50% right? and getting a 2.0 gpa is 63%?

50 is a pass.

The breakdown of the GPA should be attached to every course syllabus:
http://www.ryerson.ca/currentstudents/essr/gpa/

[rooney11]

remember some courses require you to pass the final or pass the midterms in order to get a credit, and I believe if you have a cGPA of below 2, you'll be put on probation.

[FilleDeJanvier]

yep, i havent been to micro in i think 6 weeks?
last time i was in class was for the midterm and the time after that was the 2nd week of class lol

This has always been bugging me, what is the 'dining room' area on the 1st floor of the business building for? I often see students(I think?) dressed formally catering to others. I've only had a handful of marketing courses as I'm an arts student, so this has always been unusual for me.

Ahhhh okay, that makes sense. I have class at 6:30 at the TRS, and I sit outside the classroom which is near that dining hall/room, and I noticed students with white dress shirts, black dress pants and an apron(some) moving around back and forth in that area.

Can you guys help me out and tell me a little about the Early Childhood Education program at Ryerson? I'm planning to apply there for Fall 2010.
Not a lot of schools offer this program the only ones in the GTA is Ryerson or Guelph-Humber (Rexdale)... Do you think it's worth it to travel all the way downtown for Ryerson? cause I live in Mississauga, Guelph-Humber would be closer...but I heard it's a boring and super small school of 3000 students.

Nasty? It wasn't too bad when I went there ~4 on the first day. Took about 30 minutes for me, a lot faster than metropass.

Opt-out paid my visa bill and now I've got a little change left over. Leatherman or a nice new Fenix flash light, oh the choices.

I'm waiting till summer to get a Malkoff drop in for my Maglite. I was thinking more LD01 since I need a small pocket daily use light that's waterproof. My current flashlight is perfect, except it's not waterproof. Dropped it in a bucket and had to dry it out for a day.
wait, what? are u serious? we get to eat there for free or are u just playing us?
He's just messing around. Although, depending on the event, there is free food so long as you're part of that event. Last year, I think, RCS had like free popcorn and a chocolate fountain. That was lunch that day, lol.

[rooney11]

got my opt-out check, waited about 15 minutes at 8:30am, if your last name is either a-i or s-z, the wait will probably much shorter.

[AftComet]

Where can I get my opt-out cheque again? Is it at the Student Services building where they sell those Metropasses and movie tickets and such? Do I have to wait in the same line as those people waiting for a Metropass?

Maybe you should turn your Mag in to a Mag85 for the money.
You should look at the Maratac AAA instead of the LD01 it's smaller and costs less.
What's your current EDC?

Swiss Army > Leatherman
Surefire > Fenix.

You're kidding right?

Leatherman is so much better than Swiss Army it's not even funny I have both and the swiss army stuff is for cub scouts while a LeatherMAN is for real use.

Surefire better than Fenix? Maybe 3-4 years ago. Surefire is so far behind. While their machining and anodizing is good their driver efficiency and thermal design is laughable at best compared to Fenix especially when you factor in the inflated places.

[rooney11]

Yes, the right place, Nobody in there right mind would buy a Metropass now, as half the months gone, so it shouldnt be really busy, as long as you before November 20th.

Hey, I want to take an extra course next semester, since I am a full time student, will the courses I take in addition to the mandatory courses be free?

As long as you're taking 5-7 courses, the fee's remain the same.

GEO 312
ACC 100
ITM 100
MHR 405

Acc100, like highschool, do the questions from the textbook
Itm100, know the terms, definitions, different computer parts, etc
MHR405, know the different terms, theroies, etc.
GMS200, same thing, know the terms, different theories, etc.

dont know about geo312

[omchow]

Can anyone give me advices/suggestion in how to study the following subjects:

GEO 312
ACC 100
ITM 100
MHR 405
GMS 200

ACC 100 - Try to do most of the questions and check you answer with the solutions. I remember there were two sets of problems in the book .. A and B. If you have time do them both for good practice.

Know and understand the different accounting principals and GAAP rules as you will be asked some theory questions on the final. I remember my prof saying when I took ACC 100 that 60% of the final exam is practical questions and 40% is theory.

ITM 100 and GMS 200 - Just a reader course. If you read the book twice and know the definitions by heart then you will ace the exam.

MHR 405 - Also have to know the definitions and the butt load of different theories in the book.

I remember the final had case studies and had to write short essay answers. Have to use the principals from the book so you got to know them.

And the liberal, whatever your prof says about the final.

you cant, by not dropping it today, the final grade for that course will show up on your transcript, so if you got a D or F, it will be on there

[nx6288]

today is the last day to apply for the RSU Bursary

[1barginxhunter91]

just a question i am not sure weather to drop the course or not. So I was wondering what would happen if i continue onto this course pass with a mid 60 and redo it again next semester? Will they take the highest mark out of the two? And what effective does it have by redoing a course??

[RedRye22103]

I'm not sure if I should drop a class right now, as I didn't provide Ryerson with notification that I was planning to drop before hand.

I am pretty sure the highest of two will appear on your transcript. If you fail however, it might appear your transcript that you failed and repeated the course. And make sure the course you dropping isnt a prerequiste for any courses next year, as you wont be able to take it until you pass the required course.

I havent ever dropped a course, so dont hold me to this, hopefully somebody can confirm what I wrote. Call ryerson if you still can, and as them.

Why would ryerson go out of their way to send you the money, if you dont pick it up, they will keep it, they are a business, afterall.

Don't know the last day to pick it up, but the sooner the better, after the 20th, the student centre going to get busy for those wanting to purchase the Metropass.

[RedRye22103]

So, I dropped a class last night, and while the course is not listed in my unofficial transcripts on RAMSS, on my blackboard homepage, it is still listed there under, "courses in which you are enrolled." Does that mean I am not officially unenrolled?

Enrollment appointments for Winter 2010: December 7th Winter 2010 student timetables will be posed on RAMSS, no changes allowed, just review:

2nd Year: Thursday, December 31st, @12:00 p.m.
1st Year: Saturday, January 2nd, @8:00 am

For those of you who might be curious your year in the program is based on your entry into Ryerson and for others, the year that you transferred in the Retail Management program. It is not and it never be based on the number of credits you have towards your degree. Please note that your enrollment date cannot be changed once you have been admitted.



is this appointments only or for open enrollment? thanks!!!

It's a good class I found it really interesting.

[rooney11]

Straight up, Bus100, was probably the hardest exam I had so far. You should know what each chapters about. The index will save your ass, as its open book. I dont know if it changed, but you needed to get 70% on the exam to pass.

The answers are so similar, that you basically need to look for the exact sentence from the book. Dont go studying overboard, but make sure you have a jist of the course/the book/ and what ever the prof has said in class, as some of the questions of his lecture. And watch for time, I almost ran out, and did my my essay/long answer question without any care.

That doesnt sound good. I didnt read the book so I kinda have no clue what its been about. But today Ive been going over the self tests which are pretty comprehensive that it does cover most of the material generally.

Its all timed, you will always be given a maximum amount of time, cant remember how much we got, possibly 2.5 hours, did einstein say anything yet, like how many m/c questions, etc.

Remember its a pass or fail class, wont effect your gpa,

I would focus more on the courses, but still keep one eye open for this one.

Just wondering, but if anyones in BUS100 atm, I completed all the assignments and got full marks, and on the test i got 47/50 and the essay part is worth 10 marks.

Since I basically have 87 marks atm, and you need an 80 to pass can I just not do the essay part of the test? Or is it mandatory to attempt it?

I was thinking about asking an instructor, but that might be a bad idea being that the class is designed around becoming a "master student" and not a lazy one.

honestly, i doubt they failed anyone for the final of bus100. Im pretty sure a lot of people did worse than 70% on the final last year. And everyone passes it, its not so much about the marks but more about putting effort and actually doing all the assignments.
Dont worry about the final at all. I did absolutely no studying and just went to the exam with my textbook, found most of the answers and just bs the essay part.
Just know the topic for each chapter so you know where to look for each question and you're good.

Great thanks ... i am not sure who the prof is they haven't posted it online. Do you know what the weight of the course is?

On a scale of difficulty how was this course?

I believe the course weight is 1.00 . The course wasn't too difficult, during my time in the course we had to write 1 essay, a midterm and a final exam and sometimes pop writing assignments.
