The SENECA COLLEGE Official Thread

[Computer500]

Hi.

Are there any new students coming to Seneca College?

What programs are you guys taking?

Are there any returning students here?

Since there's a thread for almost every University, I decided to create a Seneca College thread. Feel free to post anything.

[Headhunter]

If you're interested, there's also a thread on Seneca's general education options (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=322949).

York has a pretty attractive female student body of all ethnicities, rated one of the best looking schools in North America if I'm not mistaken...

1st semester COMPUTER PROGRAMMING AND ANALYSIS @York....


do we get to use the food/gym/bar places on rest of the Keele campus too or do we have to stay in our seneca buildings?

for the people that goes to newham or @York is there free parking around or no?

No, you are not confined to the Seneca building, in fact Seneca shares the TEL building with York so you are free to use any of the facilities on the whole campus (except computer labs obviously).

There's no free parking around York, just the Staples parking lot, if you want to walk to class for 10 minutes, or there's a little space across Steeles from the York gym (a bit of a grey area really) which is also pretty far.

for the parking lots you mentioned are there time limits on how long you can park? gotta try and find the places tommrow

[rai_dei]

I really don't know about times.
The steeles one is not actually a parking... its more of a little area where people just leave their car and run across 6 lanes to get to class on time :D
Staples may have a time limit for customers and the like, but how would they know, maybe you went to LCBO or summin... :D

[Headhunter]

Quick note; the biggest speed traps are on the roads entering the campus from a major street. Unmarked cruisers will lurk behind the trees, so watch your speed (and for the safety of pedestrians, primarily).

do we get to use the food/gym/bar places on rest of the Keele campus too or do we have to stay in our seneca buildings?
You get use of some parts of the TEL building. Most specialized rooms require a student card that shows a need to use them based on your course, which means exclusion from a lot of them. Basically, it's the computer classrooms/labs and the Learning Commons.

For "free" parking at Seneca@York, there's the Staples lot as mentioned and a few people also try the one around the bank or the side streets. The police were ticketing those a lot heavier by the time I left, so I'd advise against it unless you have a reason (for example, one of my buddies had a mom who worked at the bank).

[Gellar]

I did the ACF (accounting & finance) program at Seneca Newnham campus, all 3 years, not a bad program at all. I actually learned quite a bit! In the last year you do an INSANE amount of work, but damn is it worth it.

I heard they changed one of the courses (EAC 694) to be literally only half the amount of work ...lucky bastards :)

Btw, you can get an exemption to the first 2 years of the accounting program at ryerson (or the finance major like me), however they'll probably make you apply for transfer credits to at least 2 or 3 courses. Pain in the a$$.
not to put down sheridan, but those poor kids who transfered over from that school never seemed to know anything ..haha

If you goto college first, you have no idea how lucky you are. University faculty are SO freaking snobby, they think they're so special cuz they're a university and treat you pretty crappy, at least at ryerson its like that. Tried to get my osap documents negotiated, and the girl at the door to the gym was being a total beatch to all the first year students. Wooo way to make an impression!

[MrWizard]

Goddamnit, I'm at the Markham campus sitting in the cafeteria, and I can't find a damn outlet to plug in my laptop. My 2 hours battery life isn't going to cut it...

[elusion]

just came from Newnham campus 1st day of school....pretty big school..i got lost. =( dammit i hate being a freshmen. Lolz :mad: o well, today was good still...macked on a asian chick and got her digits =D

[MrWizard]

All of you athletic types should sign up for the Intercampus Flag Football tournament.

Markham campus is really nice, easy enough to find everything so far.

I have a 4 hour break between classes on tuesdays and wednesdays, I need to find a place to nap...

[clipz]

do you know where i can park for free at the newham campus? just dont wanna pay 4$ for one course that i have for 1 hour. waste of money

[greg123]

do you know where i can park for free at the newham campus? just dont wanna pay 4$ for one course that i have for 1 hour. waste of money

yes if anyone know pleaser share... i have class 3-10.. if i parked on campus i would have to pay the day fee then the night one :mad:

[Geologic]

There's really nowhere u can park for free. I tried parking across the street where the homes are and they have parking enforcement that tag your vehicle for almost the entire day so it's really not worth it.

As for paying a day/night fee.. I believe you can get your ticket stamped so you can leave and come back, although I'm not sure how late you have class. I originally thought no full-time day classes go past 6pm.

Learn to do what most others have done, pack your schedule in with classes. I have 3 days of class/week.

[Gellar]

yes if anyone know pleaser share... i have class 3-10.. if i parked on campus i would have to pay the day fee then the night one :mad:
Parking for free at seneca is almost entirely not an option. Dont park at loblaws. Dont park across finch at the houses. If you go east on finch, just after the 404, on the right theres a street you can park on. I think its van horne, something like that. You can park for free there if you dont mind walking a bit, sucks in the winter though.

Also, ALWAYS get your parking pass stamped, cuz it will allow you in and out access. Your day passes are only good until 5:30pm, so if you have a day class and a night class you have to pay twice, but night time is cheaper.
HOWEVER! If you get your pass stamped in the day, and go through one of the parking booths with the nice lady (not sure if she still works there) she'll let you in if you're nice, all they have to do is push a button. They always pick the same booths, so when you find the nice lady, always goto her.

I might go walk around campuses once I get another chance. It was boring today staying in one Seneca building.

Man there seems to be nothing to do. Is there any clubs or something.

Someone be my friend! LOOOL

[scruffz]

Getting into Informatics and Security at Seneca @ York in January (1st year)

[scruffz]

for the parking lots you mentioned are there time limits on how long you can park? gotta try and find the places tommrow

here's a tip: after 3 or 4 parking at Pioneer Village is free, the attendant leaves so you dont have to pay anything. That's if you are willing to walk across campus everyday

[Computer500]

How is that? I got rejected, because I couldn't draw. As if I would need that for Graphic Design...! :razz:

I've heard that there is a testing process to get into Graphic design.
What do you actually have to do? bring your portfolio???

Draw images?

yup, i believe it's called Campus Cove or some such, right in York Lanes past the computer store... I think it's got the SNK... and MK as well, I remember it had a bunch of driving games, DDR, guitar and drum games and stuff. You can also play Warcraft and CSS there if you get a computer account...

There's a test that involves a series of illustration exercises, and you will have to bring your portfolio.

York Lanes is pretty much a mini mall :D It's got an arcade, some clothing stores, a book store, a computer store, Telus, pharmacy, Second Cup (I don't think there's a Tim Hortons there thou, there's one in every other building on campus) and a convenience store as well... I think that qualifies for a mini mall :D

I pmd you, cause I dont really know anyone yet either, and most of my Yorkie friends are in class or at home during my free time(lazy bastards going to school for 2-3 days a week!!!)

[greg123]

[MrWizard]

Anyone going to Casino Night tomorrow at the Newnham campus?

Doubt your in any of my classes, I'm in last sem of CNS. Lets go ahead with the meetup if you guys want.

[MrWizard]

Went to Casino Night, it was pretty fun. Not very busy and it seemed like poker was the least popular game behind roulette and blackjack.

Lost with AA, guy had suited 89, flop comes 797, turn brings another 9, ****.

[greg123]

on SIRIS

when you goto view timetable

why are there same timetable for 4 different dates?

2006/09/04 to 2006/10/22
Timetable for: 2006/10/23 to 2006/10/29
Timetable for: 2006/10/30 to 2006/12/10
Timetable for: 2006/12/11 to 2006/12/17

their all the same except for OCt 23-29 i only have one class.... iam guessing thats study week...



also can first semester students change timetables via SIRIS? i can do it on my, but when i went to see the co-ordinator on friday to try and get rid of my 8am class he said i couldnt :confused:

[greg123]

people really blows at the arcade... i sat there for a hour with 2 quarters at SNK2 :|

didnt even bother playimg marvel vs capcom 2 cause there full of noobs

[bclark]

I am in CTY at S@Y

That's because some classes only lass for half a sem, i think they're call accelerated courses, so instead of once/wk you go to class twice/wk for 1 courses.. A lot of those during the summer for liberal courses..

[radeonboy]

there's an arcade at seneca?? where??

its in the York Lanes area. There is a mini mall strip where there happens to be an arcade.

[RBK]

Anyone in the library right now? :D. I am in the cubicles reading textbooks... :(. Thank god theres a power outlet here so I can stay online.

And hey where do you people hear about these casino nights and other events happening at the school? Don't they post everythign on blackboard? I guess I didn't notice it?

Anyone in the Chinese Student Club at Newnham?

3rd semester Business Admin Student at Newnham

I'd like to know why you switched as well.

[Poy]

I go to seneca @ york ^^ I'm in CTY again >.< kinda slipped too much last year and dropped my second semester because of the strike, well really just wanted my money back since i knew i was gonna flunk **doh' So i come back this year all fresh and with a more clear mind set. I still think APC is wack! and no more challenge test for ICA! wtf is up with that! Anyway just letting you guys know i go there... lol

Ps. This is just a random thought [headache with pictures] in my head. Anyone interested in starting a Seneca Folding@home team? or even an Overclocker's club? lol i feel like a nerd. Just something that tripped my mind as i wrote the stuff above... feel free to comment...

[curtis]

Work is sending me to the Finch/404 Campus (Newham?) for an AutoCAD course in October. Anyone taking Level 2 AutoCAD?

Hi.

Are there any new students coming to Seneca College?

What programs are you guys taking?

Are there any returning students here?

Since there's a thread for almost every University, I decided to create a Seneca College thread. Feel free to post anything. Great to meet you too. BTW, I'm going into my 5th semester.
:D

[chaego]

i also go to Seneca @ york Graphics design first year :)

about free parking...i've heard stories but is it really safe to park at that small plaza with tim hortons...friends tell me its a gamble but you'll be safe if you stay away from tim hortons cuz they spy on cars

[akide]

it's dangerous parking there.. park at your own risk, unless you like getting towed.... and that whole process of getting your car at the abrams lot down around finch and keele.. i guess it's not that bad lol..

[chaego]

damn that's serious...who patroles that lot do you know?....i've been parking there for full week now ocassionally go check on my ride at the lot

btw what's the procedure your takin about? and how much you gotta pay for the towing?

[mellie81]

Hi... I'm at seneca@York for chemical laboratory technician - pharmaceuticals. I'm going to my 5th semester.

[mellie81]

wow... everyone is either a techie or business-oriented. I feel left out :razz:
Unless no one is posting... anyone in the science field?

[mellie81]

ps. as far as parking at S@Y, you can get by with not paying the tickets. Apparently, the cops at S@Y are not real cops where they can track people down with your license plate. Unless the car is under your own name where you are associated with the school, most likely they can't get a hold of you. I know a couple of people who get ticketed parking at S@Y since first semester and still after their 5th semester, haven't been tracked down.

[Cookiez]

could always buy a parking pass like me =P hahaha or u could park at the houses on sentinal.. uhh seems like a lot of people park there... or maybe sentinal and finch at the highschool jeffreys.. (sp) CTY here second year second semester messed around too much and the strike promoted me to fool around some more lolz =]

[greg123]

anyone taken ICA001? for the whole course all we have to do is 4 test right? we can do it anytime? if i do it early iam done with the course correct?

No official deadline before the end of the semester, but the testing times are crammed at the end of each semester with students who kept stalling. Don't bother buying any of the reading material, absolutely unnecessary.

They're rediculously easy, I scored perfect on all of them in something like 10 minutes a test...just get them over with.

just went to the bookstore $65 for a pin wtf :(

[Poy]

yea its messed up, there used to be a challenge test to get rid of it. But this year they removed it and i don't think there will be a challenge test anymore. booooooo

[Poy]

btw i have a spare hwd101 lab book if anyone needs it $10 lol i think the S@Y bookstore is sold out i belive. I'm in the commons now

[NLI10D]

for those in 1st semester in the Newnham Campus, if you still haven't figured it out class numbering goes like this...

if your class is B3071 for example, that's B building 3rd floor, room 71. its the second week and there are still people asking for directions.

[RBK]

yea its messed up, there used to be a challenge test to get rid of it. But this year they removed it and i don't think there will be a challenge test anymore. booooooo

Probably lost a lot of income from too many students doing the challenge test. Good thing I got rid of that last summer. :)

[Headhunter]

just went to the bookstore $65 for a pin wtf :(
...a pin?

[MrWizard]

...a pin?

Yeah, as in pin number. For a course we have to take...

[rai_dei]

why did you swith from yorku it to sennca cns
long story short, i didn't like the programming courses, but once i'm done at seneca, i will come back to york to get my bachelor's.

And yeah, ICA001 blows, i came in on tuesday morning and the system was down so that was a waste of 2 hours and I had to get up at 6.30am for it.

[Headhunter]

Yeah, as in pin number. For a course we have to take...
Hmm, never had to get this...

And yeah, ICA001 blows, i came in on tuesday morning and the system was down so that was a waste of 2 hours and I had to get up at 6.30am for it.
Never attend the classes, utter waste of time.

[Computer500]

ica001 was too easy if you go through the tutorials

anyone else go to seneca@ markham campus? it's so boring here and there's nothing to do during breaks.

[greg123]

still $65 for a pin BOO

how much didyou guys from previous semesters pay?

[radeonboy]

lol. yes boo who. the pin is a ripoff. ica is jokes...the tutorial was this....

- learn to use email
- learn to surf the word wide web

:D

[mellie81]

still $65 for a pin BOO

how much didyou guys from previous semesters pay?

I paid the same amount. Yes.. it's such a rip off. They know students won't buy the text, so they make them buy a pin.

[greg123]

cancelled class damn! :confused: sending out a email 2 hours ahead of time does not help the students...

at york lanes now :|

[silvermist99]

what kind of GPA do you need to get in from CNS back to York for degree? I'm in CNS right now, one more class to go (with low average :( )

[rai_dei]

what kind of GPA do you need to get in from CNS back to York for degree? I'm in CNS right now, one more class to go (with low average :( )
I can't help you with that, since I am already in York and just taking 2 years off to do CNS. You might get a better answer by going to Seneca student services or maybe Atkinson (my faculty, it's right next to TEL).

[eiyu]

still $65 for a pin BOO

how much didyou guys from previous semesters pay?

lol...yeah they start charging for the pin due to students not buying the material . When I first started CET (now ECT) we didn't have to pay for for ica crap.

Hopefully I'll be graduating from seneca after this semester. (been here too long)

[lumlum1013]

For ICA001.. I thought there was an exemption test you can take before the sem starts to bypass the course? Or did they take that out..?

[Computer500]

For ICA001.. I thought there was an exemption test you can take before the sem starts to bypass the course? Or did they take that out..?
Yeah
you can take a test before the semester starts to get an exemption.
but i remember there were rules for that as well....which made me not take it.

if there wasn't any rules....everyone would have took the test :|

Rules? What kind of rules...?

When I took the exemption test it was pretty straightforward..?

[Headhunter]

When I took them, it was 4 tests: Word, Excel, Access and (unbelievably) e-mail. There was no actual class, except a wasted 15 minutes during Week 1.

[azorian]

well im at newhham as well. Taking Business Admin.

I'm taking a range of courses from 3rd - 5th semester :)

[chaego]

so who's in GRA @ york group B give me a shout i need copy some homework haha jk

[Captin Howdy]

One tip i can gave to all you CNS/CTY ppl is to get to know the people ahead of you 1 semester.

MOST the profs use the exact same assignments/test/quiz or close to (75%)

[chaego]

hey bout york parking tickets ...do they go all the way to trace you down and make u pay?...

[ahson]

Currenly Im on my last semester in CNS....actually just need to finish the NDD + 1 more GenEd Credit before I can grad.

Any CNS grad student can share some of their (NDD course) test/quiz with us?

Thanks

[ahson]

hey bout york parking tickets ...do they go all the way to trace you down and make u pay?...


it depends....

if you did not register that license plate # with york before....
they don't even have your record, then they have no way to make you pay......

if you really registered your licenese plate with york or s@y before...sure they do have your record...and you gotta pay for your ticket....or else....you won't be able to grad. (thats what I heard from different students from york or s@y)

btw, if you did get a ticket already....I suggest you not to drive "that car" to york again. Just in case...

You can still drop it but you'll get a DNC which doesn't effect your GPA but will show up as a "Did Not Complete". You need to fill out a form (forgot what its called) and get your program coordinator to sign it.

If it's newnham, the women who work at registration are always ***ches. You can still drop your courses.

http://www.senecac.on.ca/registrar/dates/f06_all.html

Sept. 19 to Nov. 15, 2006 Subjects dropped between these dates will be graded "DNC".
(Note: This grade designation will not affect the Grade Point Average.)


You have until November 15 to drop your fall courses. It will show DNC next to the subject on your academic transcript. It doesnt affect your gpa.

If you do indeed go to newnham. Just pick up a course drop form in front or registration at that little podium/kiosk. Then get your academic advisor in your program to sign it and hand it into registration.

[lumlum1013]

no, doesn't affect GPA.

questions:

How did this thread appear in the offtopic section? i thought they closed the back to school thread. LOL


Anyway, is it bad to have DNC on a transcript when transferring to University?

anyone wrote the skill assessment in seneca before?
how hard is it (both eng/math)
thx...

[Realrena]

anyone wrote the skill assessment in seneca before?
how hard is it (both eng/math)
thx...

Well.. Pre-OAC-Cancelled Grade 10/11 level.

[domini]

thank u Realrena
want to know what level is it so I can be prepared...
I am not from ontario (from Vancouver:razz:)
what is pre-oac?

[Spor 13]

OAC stood for Ontario Academic Credits. It usually followed Grade 12. Simply put, all universities in Ontario used certain OAC courses as pre-requisites. For example to apply for University, engineering programs usually required Calculus, Algebra&Geometry, Chemistry, English and one other OAC course.

Now it works some other way that I'm not too sure since I was the last year to have OAC. I think it's basically split off into courses which universities look for, and courses that colleges look for.

As for the skill assessment:

English is mostly comprehension. They have you write a short essay on some random topic and then after you're finished that, you do a grammar/comprehension test on the computer.

Math is pretty much grade 11 stuff. Nothing too complicated.

I should add, that these skill assessment tests don't dictate if you're accepted or not. You're already accepted. This is more to see if you need remedial courses in English or Math.

Good luck!

[domini]

thank u Spor 13

I think my english is ok, got 90-ish in highschool
but i am really poor in math
is it MC for math
I think I cannot remember anything after gr.8 math:cry:

[Spor 13]

If I recall correctly, some questions are MC but most aren't. I'm pretty sure depending on what program you are going for, they give a test more tailored to the math course that you'll be taking. There's like 15 different first semester math courses.

[domini]

ah...thx!
I am going for the accounting and finance
if i am not strong in math probably not a good choice eh...

wow didn't think Seneca is so popular now.

Well one thing you will like about Seneca is that there are many International students (namely Chinese girls) who are looking for husbands so they can get the citizenship the easier way. Or else they would have to complete the programs and work for a few years (but finding a job is hard for them) and then accumulate enough immigration points to immigrate lol.

So ya, for those of you out there who are looking to score easy with an Asian girl should attend Seneca. hmm, maybe that applies to York too.

So easy to get Chinese girls' contacts and numbers at Seneca.

I'm at Seneca @ Markham studying Information Systems, but I've got a few friends in the Marketing program.

The campus is great, especially in the winter when you don't want to go outside because of the freezing cold.

The best place to be is the "Kickback". It's located on the bottom floor, and features a pool table, a jitz table, a ping pong table, and a $20000 entertainment system. Starting in September, I believe they will start charging for the pool and jitz, as people were destroying the room, and repairs are expensive. There are constantly events going on down there from movies to Sex Toy Bingo, and even beer tasting near St. Patties Day. Pretty much all the events are free.

3rd and 6th floor classrooms are the best, as they have comfortable office type chairs rather than the normal plastic ones.

All the classrooms are equipped with projectors, and if you're smart, you can figure out the password to unlock them. Me and my friends use them when there aren't any classes to watch TV shows and movies from our laptops.

The school is home to the Flight Services program, so there are a fair amount of decent looking girls around the school.

Most people use the elevators to go up and down floors, but I warn you, if you use the elevator to go up or down 1 floor, people WILL hate you.

They mentioned that Seneca students get Vista business for free. Where/when can we get that?

[flame02]

They mentioned that Seneca students get Vista business for free. Where/when can we get that?

yes you get vista/xp pro/server with the registration of an applicable computers or networking course. It all depends on what program you are in.

[radeonboy]

They mentioned that Seneca students get Vista business for free. Where/when can we get that?

If you're in the computer field you can get it free by emailing ACS and submitting your student ID and they will give you the CD KEY via email and you can either download and burn Vista yourself or let them burn it for you.

If you're in other programs I'm not sure you are eligible to get it.

I'm taking Computer Systems Technology so I think i'd be eligable for it.

Right now I already have vista home, so I assume just with the CD Key I should be able to upgrade without needing another copy of Vista.

Not sure about without needing another copy. Maybe it could be different, I'm really not sure but sure just get the CD Key and try, if it doesnt work then no biggie just burn another one!

You can download other software through the ACS website as well!! I think they have the latest office now too. You get the key the same way too.

I hope that includes everyone from the business department which I'll be a part of soon. It would be nice - I got Vista home right now.

I called them and you only get one key which is supposed to be used on your class computer.

For people on the York campus, do Seneca students participate in anything special like York does with their Frosh week?

[White Comet]

dropping by to say Hi, lol

3rd year IAF student here @ Newnham

[freebie]

Regarding the free Vista keys. Here's the info on how it works:

Different academic programs have different levels of access to MSDNAA, which is Microsoft's Academic Alliance. For example, the Computer Engineering Technology program allows you access to Vista, Windows XP, MS Office 2007, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, MS Exchange Server 2007, Visual Studio 2005, etc. Software is available as CD/DVD image files only and you have to download and burn it yourself.

For the software programs that require a cd key, you have access to 1 (ONE and only ONE) unique cd key for each program.

Okay... so where do I get this stuff? Go to acs.senecac.on.ca and click "Downloads" on the left-hand side. You have to log in with your Seneca username and password. To get CD keys, click on "MSDNAA License" on the left-hand side, right below "Downloads". Again, you'll be prompted to enter your Seneca username and password.

If you don't know your username/password, then you probably haven't created it yet. Go to https://www.senecac.on.ca/pwservice/itaup.jsp and click on the "Activate my account" button.

Enjoy! If you have any difficulties, contact the Student Help Desk (http://studenthelpdesk.senecac.on.ca/) at 416-493-9867 and press 1. They love dealing with these types of requests for assistance. :twisted: :lol:

or
T3075- computer networking
T3131- computer programmer
T3133- for the other computer ones
I am not sure, but the ones with T- might be in the TEL building, and the ones with S would be in the main building for S@Y

I graduated from the Seneca 2 year Accounting program last year and was deciding to go back this year likely in a different campus to get a diploma in Business or Marketing.

Was wondering, will the courses i take for the business or marketing diploma be included in my accounting program transcript? (assuming they keep graduated student's transcripts) or will they treat it as another seperate transcript under my name?

trying to explain best i can, but in other words would i have 2 seperate transcripts; Accounting and Business (or Marketing).

thanks

Hmmm, to register my internet at york I had to log in with a York passport but I don't have one since i'm a Seneca student.

When I go to make one, it asks me for my York ID. I put in my Seneca I.D. but it didn't work.

I don't know how I can register for internet if i'm not a York student.

[a1cd]

AFAIK. Seneca has its own wifi at york, in its own buildings. you use your id (or email I forget) to login.

for the rest of the campus, just ask a friend who goes to york for their email and use it to log in (to the wifi hotspot)

[arreat89]

You guys skipping out on orientation? I will, only because its too early and because my Academic Information Session happens to be during first week of school.

Can I still pick up my student ID without having to sign up for Orientation? I just want to pick it up, find where my classes are and leave for home.

yep, you can pick up your card anytime you want, the first one is free and it takes only a few minutes for them to take the pic and print it out

I would highly recommend you get it before the first day, because there will be a HUGE lineup. Also you can go to the rest of the orientation stuff even if you dont have your academic session on that day

[justin24]

can we bring somebody with us to orientation that doesn't go to the school. (like a guest)?

[Rathma]

York is completely unprepared for Seneca students.

I told them I can't use the internet in residence if I don't have a York passport. They said they are contacting a company to help. Who knows how long that will take, so i'm just using wifi at the Seneca building for now.

btw, anyone go to the orientation today? I was in the gym for like 10min, but when they started playing that crappy ass animation video I left lol. Did I miss anything?

[Rathma]

Are you talking about the S@Y one? You missed absolutely nothing. I wanted to get up and leave earlier but didn't want to make the presenter look bad.

[a1cd]

yep.. the woman said "We are gonna be here for a while!", after that I just left with my friend and went to buy books, thankfully there was less of a lineup then

[Rathma]

The cost of books on my sheet said it would be around 600 but they only ended up costing about 300 all brand new. I hope I got the right ones.


Have you made many friends here yet a1cd? I just got here last night and it feels like I got here too late. Everyone already has their own groups and I don't know anybody here.

[a1cd]

I know 1 person in my actual program, and I know a few people that go to Seneca (and york as well)

Dont worry though, you will meet a bunch of people in class, since you have the exact same timetable as the other people in your classes. btw, what Program are you in?

The thing is York has their own KICK ASS frosh week, and a lot of the new people from rez get together there

[Rathma]

btw, what Program are you in?

Computer Networking.

Anyone know how long the bus ride is from Downsview to S@Y?

[young__wun1515]

hey,

i just wanted to know if you can register for BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION - MARKETING (BAM) program at the Newnham location?
if so what time does their office open?

thanks.

[1337rice]

using the SeneNET right now...wow...so much for "state-of-the-art" rooms...they're using bloody Wireless B, im getting like 40kb/s

btw, im at Seneca Markham library...and would it hurt to add some outlets here?

[Rathma]

45kbps here on seneNET, lol.

I graduated last semester from S@Y and was originally thinking of either going to Uni or back to college for another program sometime down the road, but now I feel the urge to go back to school in January or something.

My question to those that may know this answer is: If you're an alumni at Seneca, do you still have to go through OCAS and all the other stuff again when re-applying? Or is there another way to apply directly only to Seneca?

[kaws]

you have to use OCAS again to apply to other programs.

[zoltron30]

what courses did you guys take in semester 3? i was thinking of taking win310 and ops335.....

im currently taking the program part-time. i already passed dcn 386. the database program doesnt look too appealing

i'll be taking win310 and win700 part time next semester... thanks

[JugaJatt]

I know this has been asked already but how touch is this thing? do i need to goto class? and do i need to buy this stupid PIN?

Wht kinda questions are there on the test for power point, word, excel and access 2007?

[impuls3d]

hey,

i just wanted to know if you can register for BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION - MARKETING (BAM) program at the Newnham location?
if so what time does their office open?

thanks.


Im in that program and they only have it at the markham location..... unfortunately.
The other business administrations(most of them) you can choose either newham,king or markham. The outside looks big but its pretty crappy inside.

1. the elevators are always packed.
2. everyone smokes at the main entrance so everytime you enter or leave prepare to get second hand smoking. (they even smoke at the bus shelter)
3. everyone pretty much smokes everywhere
4. food there is very limited
5. nothing around that area unless you have a car to take you around
6. most of the teachers seem like high school teachers but more female doggish.
7.nothing special ever happens... everything seems to happen at the kick back but nothing big or exciting as other schools. The best thing they offer in terms of events would be the stupid pie eating contest....
8. Very tight area even with 10 floors.
9. its not "new" they just bought it from all state insurance and renovated it.
10. newham is better

anyone else agree??

This course is a joke... the pin card is around 40-60$ ... Depending on your program you need to finish a certain number of tests before the end of the semester.

Usually you get 2 attempts and you need over 70% to pass... The questions are very hands on... There is an interface thats mimic'd to the Microsoft word program... theres questions like

Change the Font Colour to Light Blue
Import ____.doc from the C:

Theres also a test about Concepts (basic computer terms), Excel, Outlook, etc etc.

Its really easy...

[Rathma]

That's good to know. I have the pre-test on week 3, and I definitely don't want to buy those PIN numbers.


Also, 2 of my classes have been canceled already. Does this happen often?

One wasn't even mentioned through email, it was just posted on the door. Yeah, that's helpful. One guy in the class had to drive an hour just to see the sign and leave.

Morons.

[mxhp00]

you have to use OCAS again to apply to other programs.

Would I have to repeat classes such as the ICA course, the success strategies for college (POWER learning), etc again as well?

It would be such a waste of money if I had to go through those 2 again.

I'm gonna give it a shot in 2 weeks time. The guy told us we have to pass 9/10 on each module. I have no experience in MS Access and I'm poor in MS Excel.

Man...books are expensive already, and I have to buy 2 damned PINS (1 is really required in my program) costing $150++.

:mad:

Anyhow, on the brighter side, I'm glad the Newnham campus bookstore is prepared in terms of having more people @ the cash and there's actually people on the floor trying to help out students to look for books. @ Humber, it was a MESS.

I'm liking Newnham so far. Only thing I hate about attending there is my travel time of 1 hr, 45 mins to get there.

[1337rice]

we have the same thing here @ Markham, only we don't do Access (only for the Business IT program...or watever...), we got Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Windows Vista.

I seriously don't know wtf they can test us on...

[freebie]

It IS possible to get exempted from ICA001... especially if you have any sort of computing course from another college/university. Save yourself the hassle of this course (and the $$$) and try to get advanced standing by speaking with the ICA course coordinator. Not sure for all campuses, but at Newnham the ICA coordinator is Connie Chim and her office is B3003.

Even if you haven't taken some sort of equivalent course, try to claim job experience, volunteer experience, basically anything to get out of that class. If you already have a basic understanding of Windows and MS Office then the course isn't gonna do much for you.

i just found out that my NOD32 antivirus is blocking SeneNet connections...no wonder I can't connect to their crummy wireless internet...-_-

[dubjk]

I actually work right across from the Seneca at Markham. I am interested in taking the Business Intelligence program, has anybody taken that and can share their experience?

It's very unfortunate that I missed the deadline for Fall registration. Even though the program is only offered in Fall, am i still able to take some of the other courses so I dont have to wait an entire year? And when do registration usually start? Is it around the same time as universities, so April-May?

[eiyu]

This course is a joke... the pin card is around 40-60$ ...


Indeed ICA is a joke, and the most likely reason the start using a pin card is because back when I took ICA noone bother buying the ICA learning package crap.

[radeonboy]

ICA is where everyone used to just cheat and look at others screen, until they put up those funny cubicle blockers...lawls.

Just curious, after graduating from the CNS program, what is your current career?

Thanks

Yeah i'm curious too. I took CTY but that's similar.

Also, did you find the first year linux class as awful as I do right now?

[radeonboy]

Yeah i'm curious too. I took CTY but that's similar.

For the time being it seems hard, but compared to other courses later on, that should be considered "easy". You just follow instructions for the labs, and you always figure out stuff as you learn, plus just google for help. I think you're talking about ULI101? Ya I remember that course :=D

[PSiBeR]

Wait till you guys get to NDD430... 'No Damn Diploma' as some of my friends referred to it :lol:

Learn your subnetting guys!

Hey are there color printers at Seneca (@ York)?

[HB85]

I believe Seneca@York does have color printers.

A lot of students who attend that campus are taking the "Graphic Design program" and the computer labs consist of Mac computers. I'm sure they have color printers.......otherwise they are behind in technology

Just a question about Seneca's admission requirements:

I graduated from university with a degree, but my GPA isnt really that great. But I also got around 2 years of relevant work experience. Now according to the websites, they tell me that they look at my university transcript, but would my work experience also come into consideration? It looks as if the work experience is only for the mature students who didnt get a degree but have years of work experience and technical skills.

And when you do apply, would there be some section that lets you indicate your work experience, or possibly submit a resume for them to review? I'm really hoping that i could use my work experience as a kind of leverage to compensate for my mediocre university grades :(

Thanks.

Are you applying for a full time program or part time?
Diploma or certificate?

You'll get accepted to Seneca through Mature Student for sure. In terms of your University grades, it really depends what are you are planning to do.

If you're going back for full time...they will check if you can get some free transfer credits ... grade of C in University isn't bad from a College perspective because University is harder. If you get a C or higher in University, you will get transfer credits in college

no problem

If you have mostly C's and up, you should be fine. As long as your university transcript doesn't have all D's you're ok.

just apply and you'll see. most schools are there to do business by getting you to pay tuition. otherwise the college will not exist.

[arreat89]

Today my classes got cancelled, is this a normal occurrence to have classes cancelled possibly due to rain?? One of my teachers were kind enough to email me the day before, but I still had one class (English) to go to today, but it got canceled at the last minute and I had to find out the hard way. :|

So do classes get cancelled this easily? If so, I probably shouldn't bother coming to class tomorrow since its gonna rain again.

[Rathma]

I honestly doubt a class can get canceled due to rain.

All my classes still happened today.

[sickcars]

If your in IT @ Seneca @ York just this site to see what classes are running, of course they usually only update at 8am or 8:30am

After a month at Newnham, I'm not satisfied with my education @ $eneca (even though I'm doing well so far).

I don't know if it's just a case of having the wrong profs, but I'm really disappointed. I got a Math prof who's literally lazy (30 mins of lecture and we're off), A Eng prof who insults students...these are just some issues I'm encountering right now. On top of that, I have to buy a shitload of PINs that don't come cheap. This isn't my first time being in college neither, so I can differentiate from my past experience.

I'm hoping that things will get better as I move on. This wasn't I expected.

I'm sure others agree with you and I agree as well. I feel my highschool experience was much better and that my high school teachers were more qualified than most at Seneca @ York teaching me. Most of these teachers are that bad, just few of them are actually really good.

[1337rice]

oh thats it?
Hear my 2 stories of the same teacher:

1. My BUS106 teacher came into the classroom, then told us..."this lesson will be done in 20 minutes, i got a lecture @ U of T so i'm just gonna brief you through this chapter"

2. Funniest sh*t ever...we had this ethics assignment due, so we were waiting for the BUS106 teacher to come in. Class starts at 11:40, he came at 11:45 and this is what he said..."Ok guys, I'm gonna tell you this story..." then he just took like a minute to bash how university students were stupid and can't figure out whether the door was locked or unlocked....anyways, then he continued..."ok, my next story...theres going to be some stupid ass fire drill, so what i want you to do is hand in your ethics assignment, and go home and read chapter 4".............I look at the time, it was only 11:47...class was supposed to end at 1:30....he claims that there is going to be a fire drill...........HE WAS RIGHT.........BUT AT 2:30PM.....WHICH DOESN'T EVEN AFFECT OUR CLASS

btw, this is all at markham campus

You need a ID card to get into the gym, you can go to the library but you need a user name and password to use the computers. you can ask your friend for that.

If you are coming tmw.. there is Sex Toy Bingo ( I **** you not), in the hive. dont know about ID for that though

Or you can go to york lanes, thats the kind of mini-mall at york with a good food court.

I'm gonna speak to whoever our math coordinator is...I have to make this prof work for his money, not rob us with our money on a twice a week basis.

man, last monday was the longest class EVER this sem. We lasted an hour in class because we took up the quiz questions then talked about a chapter in the book in 4 questions. on the 1-hour mark, this dude says "IS ANYONE HUNGRY?"...you know what went inside my mind right away? " did this mthr fcker just ask is anyone hungry?". to cut the story short, we got dismissed from there and he gave the last 2 questions for homework.

we have to tackle a chapter tomorrow and we have our mid terms next friday. literally 3/4s of the class is currently FAILING.

F you Chris!

[a1cd]

Nothing happens. lol

You re-book another test appointment.

They changed the ICA class, now you have to write it on the day your class writes it..

So you(the OP) should talk to your prof ASAP

[Rathma]

Uhhh my roommate told me if I miss it the only way to re-take it is to have a doctors note or else I fail the course.

What the hell.

[Suiya]

Its true, my first class of ICA was actually yesterday. I missed the first 4 weeks of class. The lab monitor explained how the test was on that day and that I can't rescheudle unless I have a docs note(which I didn't). So I took it, and got a 87%. What a joke. :/

[Rathma]

Well that sucks for me. I can't really get a doctors note, especially when it's dated after the day of a test.

yes you do
ICA is a class about computers (with 4 basic topics, word excel PowerPoint and windows.)
When you start the class you do a pretest for each topic. for each topic you get a 9/10 or better you get exempted from that

For the ones you dont you have to buy a PIN code for $20 each and take the class
Total BS and pain in the ass.

Thanks for the reply.

yah, it really sounds like a waste of time and money, but if their admission requirements states that you need to be proficient in computer skills, i guess this is a way to make of it so you dont fall behind in your actual courses.

im just curious though, wouldnt something like this (especially when it costs money) motivate people to try hard so they dont have to do it?

the pretests are... lets just say a bit unfair. you have a sim of the program your using and are asked a question say in word

Use the Format Painter

then you have 1 click to find it, if you click on the wrong button that uses a attempt and you only have 3 for each question.
and you have to get 90% to pass the pretest, all it takes are two hard questions.

then for the tests the pass grade is around 70%-90% depending on how you do on the assignments for each topic, and these tests are out of 30. so if you do bad on a assignment on say word, you have to get 28/30 to pass the real test or you fail that module.


I would say I am pretty good with computers, and I failed the pretets for all but windows. its not very easy or fair at all tbh

BTW, if your in a IT program you have to take the access test instead of windows

[kaws]

Are there any organizations/clubs in Seneca? I currently attend the King campus but have yet to see any clubs develop. And since Newnham is closer to me, than King, are there any interesting clubs to join? Any paintballing, gokarting, rockclimbing, chinese clubs, etc.?

you get a word document thats typed up by them, and 10 changes you have to make

like indent this paragraph 4in, . add a clip art and text wrap, track changes and spell check. add a footer etc

[rickyw]

hi everyone,

im hoping to go back to school most likely seneca college. i just graduated from centennial college studying automotive technology and i felt the program was not that good and the automotive industry doesnt seem promising although i am still interested in cars.

now i want to study computer networking. i noticed there are a lot of people in the seneca CTY program on here. im trying to decide which program i should enroll in. there is the COMPUTER SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY (CTY) program and the COMPUTER ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (ECT) program.

for those that have or is currently enrolled in the CTY program can you tell me what the classes are like.
-do you feel you are actually learning something?
-are the classes interesting?
-are the teachers motivated?
-how are the CISCO courses?
-do you find the program too easy/hard?

i checked their courses and it seems they are teaching you actual stuff you can apply to the real world.

i dont know if anyone here is enrolled in the ECT program (http://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/ECT.html) but i checked their curriculum and there is a lot of courses that are not related to networking and i dont really want to bother with them such as the Analog/Digital Communication and AC Circuit Principles courses, like who gives a **** about that.
I do like their networking courses and they offer CISCO training courses which will help obtain CCNA which i would like to achieve.

SO...the question is which program do you think is better for someone who wants to do computer networking? im 22 and i cant waste anymore time/money and if i **** this up that will be really bad.

if you made it this far, congratulations. i need some insight.

thanks

(also i've been to seneca@york many times before. is seneca@york only one building, the one with giant computer lab? i'v walked around the place before and it seemed like a small building....ok anyways)

now that you mentioned it, there might be certain things that i would probably need to practice a bit before doing the test. I'd like to think im good at using Office, but certain functions i rarely do. If the test is really as unforgiving, i actually might not do so well :(

I talked to one of my co-workers who graduated from Seneca, and he said that theres some online practice test you can keep doing, and basically the real test would involve those practice questions.

hi everyone,

im hoping to go back to school most likely seneca college. i just graduated from centennial college studying automotive technology and i felt the program was not that good and the automotive industry doesnt seem promising although i am still interested in cars.

now i want to study computer networking. i noticed there are a lot of people in the seneca CTY program on here. im trying to decide which program i should enroll in. there is the COMPUTER SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY (CTY) program and the COMPUTER ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (ECT) program.

for those that have or is currently enrolled in the CTY program can you tell me what the classes are like.
-do you feel you are actually learning something?
-are the classes interesting?
-are the teachers motivated?
-how are the CISCO courses?
-do you find the program too easy/hard?

i checked their courses and it seems they are teaching you actual stuff you can apply to the real world.

i dont know if anyone here is enrolled in the ECT program (http://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/ECT.html) but i checked their curriculum and there is a lot of courses that are not related to networking and i dont really want to bother with them such as the Analog/Digital Communication and AC Circuit Principles courses, like who gives a **** about that.
I do like their networking courses and they offer CISCO training courses which will help obtain CCNA which i would like to achieve.

SO...the question is which program do you think is better for someone who wants to do computer networking? im 22 and i cant waste anymore time/money and if i **** this up that will be really bad.

if you made it this far, congratulations. i need some insight.

thanks

(also i've been to seneca@york many times before. is seneca@york only one building, the one with giant computer lab? i'v walked around the place before and it seemed like a small building....ok anyways)

I go to S@Y for science, but I am considering transfering to a IT program in the winter

Seneca at york has two building, the main one and the TEL building which is split with york, most of the computer classes are in the TEL building, the TEL building is split with york and there are loads of computer labs.

Also most (not ECT) I.T programs have a common first year, so you can change into an other one without losing any credit.

I know a bunch of people in the programs and they seem pretty happy, I know first sem you get
hardware
windows
linux
communication
eng

all of those are pretty easy expect for Linux

I'm currently in CNS which is almost the same as CTY other then the Co-op & Cisco courses (maybe 1 or 2 other things)

I suggest you take CNS over CTY unless you really want to to take co-op & Cisco, it is generally a hard program at least for some of the Linux & Data Comminucation courses.

As for the teachers there are a few that are actually really good but then there are others that dont give a **** and should be fired.

Do I feel like im learning something...depends on the course some you actually learn and like others like some of the programing ones (INT) are just a waste of time.

So its up to you, I say take CNS its 2 years compared to the 3 year CTY course and everything is the same until you hit the 3rd year of course. Also you can only get into co-op if you keep your grades up.

I took the CNS program which is pretty much the same thing as the CTY (CTY has an extra year and co-op). I graduated in 2006...here’s what I can tell you

When I went into the course I knew next to nothing about computers. (To give you an example I was trying to put a AGP video card into a PCI slot and I almost made it fit!) I learned quite a bit by the time I finished…

Most the classes are pretty interesting but it depends what you’re into. The classes to worry about are the scripting classes (there’s really only 1 class and that’s INT213, ASP). Asides that there’s DNC386 which is really boring; I found the AS/400 class to be pretty dull as well.

The profs are alright for the most part, I’m not sure who’s teaching there atm but by the first year you’ll have an idea who to avoid. The profs that have been teaching there for a while usually use the same tests/exams so if you can get them they’re a pretty good study guide.

The Cisco course can get really intense, there’s a lot of memorization and subnetting etc. If you take the CTY course I think there’s 2-3 more Cisco courses vs the CNS program.

I found the program to be alright, it really just comes down to how much time and effort you put into the course/work. If you’re really into it and actually study etc then you shouldn’t really have any problems. In all honesty I think it really comes to memorization.

You can apply a lot of the stuff you learn in the real world however a lot of it is just a waste, it really depends what you go into. From what I remember if you do the CNS programs there’s about 2-3 Unix/Linux courses and 1 scripting course, 1 Novell course. If you don’t plan working with Unix etc then it’s a waste. And don’t forgot the electives which are a complete waste of time.

After I graduated I was lucky enough to find a job for a small software company working in support. I worked there for 1 year and in that time I learned more then I did the 2 years in the CNS program. I think experience is very big thing…I’m not trying to put you off but schooling only goes so far, they will teach you how XYZ works but they wont tell you how to fix things etc. I guess it just comes with experience.

In the end I would say the course is good however when you’re looking for a job it really comes down to who you know. I’ll give you an example, a friend of mine did the CTY program and I did the CNS program. I was lucky enough to get a hook up from a friend on mine and I was earning a lot more then my friend that did the CTY program. Also a lot of people that go into the CNS/CTY program drop out, I would say only half the people that were in first semester actually completed the course (I’m guessing it wasn’t for them)

Hope that helps…

Great post, Captain Howdy. I'm looking to transfer from my current program of Computer systems and network technology to the equivalent CTY offered by seneca. That bit of info really helped, thank you.

I had a couple of questions for people on residence. Do you/can you decide on which residence you will be on? What in general is better in terms of social events, gyms, clubs, parties, facilities, rooms, etc. Newham or Kings? Did you find it easy to make friends? How do you find your roommate, tolerable or was the personality thing way off? What equipment do the gyms have? Weights go upto? How would you rate your res experience as a whole, against the money you spent for it? Thank guys, looking forward to switching.

[lame23]

Hi,

I was just wondering if any you guys have taken the office administration program at seneca, how is the program like and how are placements that they put you in?

[TheRide]

How much does it cost to use the gym?

The gym is free to all Seneca students, you just have to show your student ID before you enter.

[zenpher]

Is there a seneca anime club?

Newham is by far the best, it is the main campus so it has all the events, the trips and a whole building. There are a bunch of trips to jays/argos game that all leave from there

AFAIK, the king res is only a few floors.

Also the CTY program is at Seneca at york (at york U, so you need to get from Finch/Don mills to Keele and Steels/finch) There is a viva bus that goes there though so it is not that hard

There is Rez for Seneca students at York, but I dont know much about that,there is a poster in this thread that is doing that , his username is Rathma

[Rathma]

Yeah i'm in CTY and got into residence at york. It seems like getting residence here is just luck of the draw. As a Seneca student, York will give you a room if there is anything left over.

In my whole building I only know my roommate who is a Seneca student. There doesn't seem to be too many of us here. I don't know if this is because they are very short on rooms for us, or because not many Seneca students applied.


By the way i'm really on the fence about sticking with CTY or going into CNS. I feel like taking a break after two years, since i'm not really interested in this stuff that much.

If you are in CNS is there a way you can do the third year of CTY once you finish?

[redroses]

Is there a seneca anime club?

There's one at Seneca@York. I don't know which campus you're enrolled at but if you want to sign up for clubs you have to go to the student federation office

Also, does anyone know if profs will be at the college during Study Week?

[1337rice]

i heard that there will be people working.....not sure if the profs will be....some will be because some students do their midterms that week

The gym is free to all Seneca students, you just have to show your student ID before you enter.If its the weight lifting room you'd have to pay (well at least @ newnham). basketball gym, etc, its free.

about ICA,so far...

1. I passed my VISTA pre-test and came close with the PPT

2. current marks

PPT test- 23/30 quiz
MS word in-class assignment - 5/10
MS word test - 34/44

and the teacher says I'm in good shape.



QUESTION:

where's GRADEBOOK? Is this COURSE TOOLS ---> MY GRADES ?

my English prof SWEARS she updates our marks but I only see one. I'm thinking I'm looking at the wrong place, but I know there's only 2 ways of checking your marks, SIRIS and through that ^^^

im talking about the computer lab that takes up almost half of the seneca@york building. i dont know if its a combined with a library.
when i went for orientation at seneca@york why did i hear the speaker say something about computer lab access 24 hours?

maybe i heard him wrong.

[domini]

hey Senecans,

Do we still have classes/exams after Dec 12?
Registration staff said semester ends on Dec 12, but she wasnt sure if we have exams (yea so much for registration:|)
But to my understanding, i figure that we dont have to attend classes anymore (just have to wait for the final grade on SIRIS maybe)
I plan to go back to Vancouver for Xmas and I want to book the flight now before the price goes sky high

Any 2nd or 3rd yr students can help me out?
thank u so much =)!

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect for EAC150 as I diddn't think I would get into that class from the placement test. However I ended up getting in and am hearing things about how alot of the professors are hard markers and stuff.

[Smog]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect for EAC150 as I diddn't think I would get into that class from the placement test. However I ended up getting in and am hearing things about how alot of the professors are hard markers and stuff.

As you may know, EAC150 is known as College English. There are many professors teaching EAC150 and the lectures really depend on who is teaching it.

You may expect to read a textbook with many short stories or articles. A lot of in class discussion. The discussions are based on analyzing short stories and also answering questions. You will also be writing a few essays. It is challenging to write in-class essays especially if English is not your strength. There are also a few out of the class essays.

2 in class essays, + one research take home essay + some minor stuff decided by the prof (it was quizzes for me) + exam (which is a essay) is your final mark

I had a hard marker and ended up with a C+, the class avg was very low though, I think it was a fail.

Students of Seneca,

I was wondering if someone who uses the parking garage across from campus. Located at the York Student Services building there is a parking machine. I see people everyday pay at the machine and exit to the garage doors. I assume they enter the garage and given a ticket?

Now is anyone allowed to park in the parking garage? Can I park there or do I need to register or something?

I want to know if I can park there and how much it will cost per day/per hour?

Any information would be appreciated.

I dont park there but i have been there a few times with my friend when he would drive to school.

Yes they give you a ticket when you drive in and so on. I think cost for a day your looking at around $15 +/- I think not 100% sure on this but more or less. You dont have to register or anything just go there and park. But I think its cheaper to get a parking spot then go to that parking lot there if your going to school everyday.

If you look in other posts here somebody asked that question, and some of us answered. Jobs there will always be jobs but its who you know and the connections you have to get those good jobs or else you will be doing helpdesk for a while.

Get connections first or while in school, get ahead of everybody else. thats what I did and I got a good chance of getting a good full time job once I graduate (less then a year)

THe program for the most part is pretty good. The first & 2nd semester are not to hard but as you go on it gets harder so a lot of people tend to drop out.

Is there a better program not sure, if you think going into an easier program like computer repair at some college is going to get you a good job it probably wont happen. This is a networking course and you can go into a lot more fields then you can with say a repair course.

Hi to all Seneca students. I would just like to ask a few questions about admission.

I'm currently in university but would like to switch out to Seneca college as I think that it should suit me better. I'm wondering if they look at my university marks or just my OSSD and high school marks.

The reason why I'm asking is that I took all the academic maths and sciences back in high school and with high averages (80's to 90's) but have some poor university averages (because I applied to a competitive program that was way beyond my level). I'm quite sad to be honest and would like some info about Seneca college and some of the programs that have better job prospects.

but if you are in doubt you can always look up the admission adviser to that program and give him or her a call

but if you are in doubt you can always look up the admission adviser to that program and give him or her a call

Thanks. Anyone else have more info?

Does anyone know how much it cost to park at Seneca York campus for a semester?

I believe you have to purchase a york parking pass from york since york owns the land but on a day to day basis its like $14 for the whole day

[Rathma]

I switched programs this semester, can you take textbooks back?

I saw the S@Y bookstore was selling used books so I was curious.

yea but they will give almost nothing for the books lol

[ken_]

I gave them my last semester books they give you back like 10 - 20% of what you paid for in cash

I could of sold them to people but too much hassle if you know what I mean..

[mohaken]

hey

does anyone know if the markham campus parking pass works at the newnham campus and vice versa??

the reason i am asking is because many people have courses at both campuses sometimes during the same day...which would require you to pay for parking twice or buy two different parkign passes

plz let me know asap

Hi.

Are there any new students coming to Seneca College?

What programs are you guys taking?

Are there any returning students here?

Since there's a thread for almost every University, I decided to create a Seneca College thread. Feel free to post anything. Great to meet you too. BTW, I'm going into my 5th semester.

Anybody here taking Graphic design or has taken Graphic design at Seneca?

Can you guys tell me what you think of the program and what I can expect to learn?

Also, how difficult or easy it is to get in. What should I have in my portfolio? And what exactly was the test like? I'm applying to both Seneca and George Brown for Graphic Design but I was leaning more towards going to Seneca. Could you guys help me out? Thanks...

[rickyw]

i applied for the graphic design program at seneca but i didnt get accepted. its a oversubscribed program so they do select carefully who gets in based mainly on portfolio and drawing test.

i too would also like to know what the program is like since i might try again.

hi all i need some advice!!

Im in 2nd sem. of the CTY program @ Seneca & i am enjoying/ liking the program..so far. After seneca im planning to get a degree related to IT at a university. Just recently I found out I can transfer to selected universities ( ie. York, Ryerson) after a full year at a credited college (Seneca). now...

Part #1
i need your advice guys! Should i apply and transfer for Fall 09 @ a university, or should i wait until i finish CTY @ seneca (3 year program) get the Advanced Diploma and then hit up universities??? I feel if i want to transfer it should be now or after i complete college (3 years), because there would be no point of transferring in the 2nd year of a 3rd year program when you are more than half way completed!!

Part #2
Lets say i do transfer and after couple years if i drop out or complete uni. and get my degree and plan to return to seneca, will i start off in the 2nd year of CTY or start from 1st? do my credits from uni transfer?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

[coreyvf]

I'm dying to know this as well, I don't know how to assemble my portfolio, and I don't even know what they're looking for specifically in the portfolio - like "2-3 art pieces" - can they be anymore vague?

Here's some pieces of information I've received from asking on other forums:

"you need three portfolio pieces and you have to do a test relating to your artistic skill. It's highly recommended one of those three pieces be traditional media like pencils and paint-- I dunno about photography though. Most of the people in the program are below my skill level"

About the test:
"I think the first section was just questions about yourself and your drawing/graphic design experiance...
The second part was copying an image or shading it, something like that.
The last section asked us to interpret the idea of the Sun in 10 ways."

"Hm, they made it seem like it's difficult to get accepted, but me and everyone else I know who applied to it got in, so I'm not really sure. I just know that there's only 2 classes for the beginning of semesters, so maybe 60-70ish people would get accepted in total? Because there's such limited space, that'd probably be your biggest obstacle but you should do fine as long as you do everything they ask!"

"And you do need a very small portfolio. It's just two pieces with a written rationale for each one. Pretty simple. I'm not sure exactly what they look for, but I would say anything that shows you know colour theory, maybe some computer knowledge or drawing skills, and in your rationales talk about stuff like your "thought process" and "composition" and fancy stuff like that I'm sure they'll like."

More about the test:
"What is on the test? If I remember correctly, there's the usual personal "stuff about you" questions, one where you have to shade some basic shapes with pencil, and one where you have to make some thumbnails based on an object. (Like on mine, it was "6 different ways to draw an apple" so you'd draw a really big apple, an apple with a bite out of it, etc, etc. And maybe some other things which I can't remember. But it's really easy to be honest. :D And you'll probably have to go do an english test as well. That's not really related to GRA though, you just have to do a required english class with most courses. It's the same as everyone else. You just have to go and write an essay and then they decide whether you go to the normal english class or a lower level one."

"Don't worry, they'll send you more info on it in the mail, but you hand in your portfolio at the same time you go in to do the test. (The portfolio is copies so you don't give them originals) I think it's usually around the latter half of February/early March that the test is, at least that's when I did mine last year."

I hope this helps. Though, I would like more information from other members.

[rickyw]

do you any information about the actual graphic design program? whats its like? teachers? students? classes? etc...

why would you drop to QNM103? Stick with QNM106...do it in one shot.
If you're complaining about the math labs...they're pretty easy to "cheat"

Just leave it blank on your first try, screenshot all the solutions (which also includes full steps), and then re-do it on teh second try by following the steps. QNM106 is simple, it just gets harder after the mid-term.

Meh, I'm in Markham...so no clue how teh teacher is...try looking him up at ratemyprofessors.com

When I dropped my marketing (MRK106) in first semester, I didn't bother going to the financial aid office....OSAP still got through...I dropped it after midterms too

[coreyvf]

do you any information about the actual graphic design program? whats its like? teachers? students? classes? etc...

Here are some pieces of information I got on other forums regarding the program itself.

"I think Graphic Design at Seneca is great, though I don't have much to compare to... From what I hear, it's the best graphic design program in this area-- though I'm hearing that from my teachers and peers... soo... yeaah. Still, for the most part I think it's very good. For the most part the teachers are great, but two in particular are rather unlikeable."

"Graphic Design is quite and interesting industry but I think most people going into it underestimate the huge emphasis on type/typography. It's fun to work with type but I think it's an acquired taste. And learning to use a Mac and Adobe software like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash is a very big part of the program. So you have to like that sort of thing, too."

"First of all, I do think it's a great program. The teachers are all really knowledgeable since most also work or have worked in the field before, and since the amount of students isn't too much it's easier to get help if you need it."

"The majority of it is computer/digital work, although there is a drawing course which is more hands on, as well as a lot of readings and notetaking and stuff for classes like design history and your electives."

That's the best I've gotten. Afterall, it is the internet, lots of sarcastic, useless responses. But anyways, I hope there's other members here who can help!

Yeah I know I can pretty much cheat my way on the labs / online tests ,just what good does that do for me when it comes to the midterm and exam , if I don't even understand whats infront of me.

This is pretty much my first year back in an academic learning enivorment.I've been out of school for more than 3-4years.(dropped out of highschool due to a bunch of personal / family issues)So I'd like to slowly adapt to the learning settings etc and actually understand things.

The website you linked me to is quite good actually , just my assignment due tomorrow , I'm just having problems interpeting it in words on how outsourcing works , inflation increasing would it be good for me etc.I know what the terms are just having problems writing it down for my prof to actually give me a decent grade.

Hey would any CPD/CTY/CNS students who are fluent in VB6/C++/etc.. like to get together and work on a non-profit, just for fun 2D mmorpg?

Not a good idea to go to Seneca king campus if you live in Cambridge. But if you're just meeting a girl on residence to get frisky, I'm here to help!

Quickest way, IMO, take the greyhound bus to toronto (because there is no go bus/train in cambridge), then take the barrie train from union station and get off at king city, and take the king city bus to seneca campus. this will take 2-3 hours.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of going to Seneca newnham for ECT Computer Engineering Technology. Just wanted to know if anyone's taking it and how it compares to other computer courses. My other choice is Computer Systems Technology at Seneca@York and I only have 2 days left to decide.

[cookie15]

Serious informative replies please, it's annoying to read replies that just makes a statement and doesn't explain a thing.

[nman123]

I was reading and someone earlier said that first 2 years are easy but it gets harder so a lot of people drop out. I'm thinking of taking the CTY course too.

[ACC-Major]

just show up and do your homework, you will be fine. Seneca is mad easy

[sickcars]

Why is that? Please elaborate?

For the most part staying in school for an extra year to get cty is not worth it. Also it gets pretty hard with courses like NDD430 where most people just change to the 2 year program and finish.

[nman123]

Which would be easier to find work and better pay after graduating, ECT or CTY

I am in CTY, the first semester is almost the same for CTY/CPD programs, i'll outline it here for people who are interested

IOS110- Windows vista, this class is a joke, very very easy , I had a 95 going into the exam , you could get anyone from off the street and they would pass this class. basic windows stuff, some bash shell scripting

APC100 - Communications, this class is a mini psych class, it has nothing to do with computers but it is pretty easy if you read the book.

HWD101(Only for CTY/CNS) Hardware, the teacher andre bruns is a ass, this class has a lecture and a Lab section where you actually take apart a computer, the lab exam for this class is just putting it back together. The exams and tests are a bit unfair and the teacher marks poorly but it is not that bad.



ULI101- Intro to Linux. This whole class you use SSH to access the matrix server and learn various Linux Commands, things about Linux (hard/soft links, permissions, some HTML, redirection etc). For some reason a lot of people fail this class, but I found it pretty easy. The linux interface is ALL IN TEXT, no GUI

IPC100 (only for CPA/CPD)-> Programming, I was not in this So I cant comment, if you know your stuff you should be good

HWD101/IPC100 and ULI101 are the classes that weed out the people who are not very good, when you get to 2nd semester the classes get a lot harder but if you do your work you should be fine.

Parking at york is a bad idea, its VERY expensive, its better to take the bus.

Yea I'm going to Newnham for ECT this September too. Haven't booked my appointment for the assesment yet. Should I need to review some math before I take it?

The assessment is fairly easy, if you are in a tech class you need to know some stuff but there wasnt any Calc or anything on it IIRC.

For the english part you have to write a essay, and awneser questions on a computer. The computer questions are very strangely worded in a way to confuse you, just make sure you read them over several times.

If you get placed in EAC149, you have to pass that class (Sat/Unsat class), then take EAC150 in your second semester.

[nman123]

thnx a1cd, would you happen to know if the CTY course is better then ECT when looking for jobs and which has better pay as you gain more experience? I ask because I already accepted my admission for ECT before looking at CTY so I didnt pick it as an option on OCAS site.
Is CTY harder then ECT? Because looking at the curriculum it looks like it is.

I'm gonna do some research and maybe call Seneca and ask about changing to CTY if possible for September anybody know if I can do that?

[a1cd]

If you wanted too I'm sure you could change, I dont know which one is better but I know there are a lot of people who started CTY/CNS in the winter who were in computer engineering at newnham, and a few that were in electrical engineering.

Also from what I have heard from the co-op coordinator it sounds pretty awesome, they have 100% placement rate for people who get accepted into coop, and they were saying that there are placements at some nice places.

Although i'm sure a lot of that is just them selling it up, and I know that it is very hard to keep a good GPA when you get into the harder stuff in later semesters.


Overall, I really like CTY atm, I dont know if that will change later but whatever.

The Seneca at york campus is a lot better then newnham in some ways, the library is a lot better looking, there are a lot of open labs and the CS programs are in the TEL building which is split with york, and most of the time is empty. Not to mention the fact that you can go to places at york. The girls at york are much better too ;)

At the end of the day I wouldn't take advice on forum to decide what to do, maybe you should check out the campus at york (summer semester starts may 10th) You can talk to some of hte program advisers there too

________________________________________________
As for transferring, I transferred from a different program into CTY during the winter, but I was still at the same campus so it was simple, I had to apply through OCAS and after I got accepted you just pick that option and Seneca will change it, but since your coming from newnham it might be different. But if you want to do it seneca will accept you.. they accept everyone.

[congeetime]

Anyone else regret going to Seneca?? especially the one at Markham campus?? nice campus and all but boring as hell. Nothing to do there.... no near by malls, no cafe with franchised companies... just over priced patty and pop... plus the elevators don't work half the time -.-" and literally everyone smokes there..i'm gonna get second hand smoking soon.. and those dam goose attack people!!

anywho, does anyone know if it would be better to do night school or day school? I know night school is just once a week for 3 hours. Not sure about day school.

[dichaeld]

Hey guys! I will be starting Computer programming this may 2009.I was wondering how is the program and what should I do about parking.Should I get a parking pass and how much it will cost me or is there any other alternative?

If your taking it at the newnham campus, whatever you do, do not park at the plaza besides the campus. I've had a bunch of buddies that parked there to try to save a couple of dollars on parking, but when they returned their cars were all towed lool! If your going to commute to the Newnham campus, parking is $4.00/day. Before I graduated at Seneca, I was parking on campus 4-5 days/ week so it was well worth it buying the monthly parking pass as it was cheaper than paying daily.

so after a year @ Newnham...

- I think the place is fine. Met a lot of people.

- academics wise, its a hit or a miss. I'm personally 50/50 on this school academics wise. I'm in the school of business and I see some teachers who are being looked past on their performance just because of their seniority...while the students suffer poor education from them.

then again, it happens in almost every school.

- ...but even with that, I still did pretty well.

- It's very expensive

- I learned a lot about the Chinese culture (for obvious reasons that there's a lot of Chinese students in the campus)

- hot girls everywhere.

Yes be a little cautious around community college teachers. I believe that this field of teaching is not very well regulated. Some colleges require PHDs to teach stupidly easy math, while other colleges let people who do not know how to program teach programming, and the list goes on.

Starting ECT this fall. Kind of freaked for the assessment tests... Anyone else taking them May 19th?
I'm writing mine on May 21. They said it was going to be English and math. And I was like WTF I got 86 in calculus and 80 in English OAC. Do I really need to go through with this ****? Apparently so. And they said no calculators.:eek:

I told them that and they said everybody have to do it regardless of their marks. They said that the assessment is necessary to determine how to construct your schedule. Maybe I should just purposefully fail it so that I get to be with all the dumb kids and I can look uber smart.:twisted:

[liorsyncro]

You've got it good man, I looked at the sample tests and I don't know how to do a large part of it.

... I'm shook.
They have sample tests? Where? Can you send a copy my way. I'll give you a timbit :o

Oh yeah, don't forget I haven't done math on paper in like 10 years. Even my Seneca instructor for the Mortgage Agent course didn't know how to do some stuff on paper. When computing compound interest, one of the students in the class asked for the actual formulas and the instructor said he doesn't know them because he's been using a calculator for like forever.

Well that's one way of thinking of it , which is exactly the way I thought , but if you do really bad you get put into a non credit math course or half credit courses.So you really want to do fairly well so you get put into the full credit course.

anyone one where i can buy the books for CTY course books. for the first semster for cheap price. Do you have to buy all the books at the Seneca book store?

[sickcars]

You dont have to buy them from the Seneca book store I bought some books from Chapters.ca and another place. sometimes you find them cheaper other times they are slightly more expensive. But sometimes the book store will run out.

BUt My suggestion is wait until the first day because sometimes the teacher will not use the books or will have an new version or whatever.

[a1cd]

anyone one where i can buy the books for CTY course books. for the first semster for cheap price. Do you have to buy all the books at the Seneca book store?
no you can buy them used

for IOS you Kinda of sort of needthe book, I mean honestly you can just burn the lab worksheet cd from a friend and just use their books with them during the lab. It goes for over 100 at the bookstore but most people sell it for less used. (Shameless plug I am selling mines for 75 :P)

For APC you NEED the book, or you will fail. IF you have hodara for your APC teacher almost all the tests are out of the book. Its a decent psych book, and there are a lot of used copys floating around. I would sell mines but it got soaked in the rain one day and now its not really sellable.

For uli you dont need a book

for ENG you need a book, but it changes each semester so just wait. this book will be around 50$

For hardware, the textbook is optional. its only 40$ and you are allowed to take it into tests and even the exam You get cheat sheats too,so its up to you if you want to buy that one. I didnt buy it and I ended up with a B+ but most people buy it.

For IOS you will have to burn a version of Vista Business onto a DVD. They give you the ISO file and you even get a free valid product key for it ;)

Finally depending on how well you do on the ICA Pretests, you will need up to 80$ for ICA Pins

Best place to buy used books is at
https://www.senecac.on.ca/buyback/SBBSearch.jsp

[radeonboy]

what books do you need? I still have some books left over that I never got to sell. Let me know what you need/want and I'll check if I have that somewhere.:!:

which is the fastest way to get seneca @ york. I live at kennedy and ellesmere. I currently know you can get to york by taking the Kennedy and getting off at Kennedy & finch and get the finch bus all the way to finish station and getting a bus from there to york..

Alternative route someone told me is take 95 yorkmills bus and go all the way to yorkmills station and take train to young and sheppard station and take a bus from there to york.

I dont no which route route will be easier to take and save me time. if anyone know any alternative route let me know.. My first day is tomoro and so far i have not taken the bus york so i dont no how long it will take and what route to take.

I am not sure about your total times, but from Mccowan and Steeles it takes 50min->over an hour depending on traffic and depending on if you are on express or not.
From kennedy/finch to Finch station your probably looking at 30min, less if your on the express.

From Finch station to york you have to take the 60C It will say York University on it, if you get on the other steeles west buses they will not turn onto keele and you will have to walk from steeles/keele. This bus ride is around 20-30min. depending of traffic

If you take the finch route it would be over an hour at least. + the time it takes you to get to finch

these are just rough estimates from memory though, it is not a short bus ride

[INeedDeals]

so anyone taking Financial services management? could use some feedback! thanks.

http://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/FSM.html

im in fsm, be it just the first year (second semester). comming from highschool i can say that the work load is pretty much the same. your gonna get projects and presentations to do. more specifics and i can give you more.

i'm thinking of transfering from Ryerson (in my 2nd year) to Financial Services Management. Is their anyone taking this program right now? and is the math hard? i couldn't handle the IT program at Ryerson and been suffering pretty bad with the GPA.

from my experience of the math there... its not hard, as the teachers will just tell u to punch numbers in a calculator or a computer...by the end of the program im guessing ill be totally dependant on my calculator that doesnt seem to have a removable battery. :razz: lol. just do your studying and h/w in the math class and you'll be fine..but this is just first year anyways.

From what I've been told ,they will be using the same textbooks from last term till at the least end of Sept term.Your best bet though is to purchase em used.If you decide to purchase them brand new expect to pay , 120 for bus , 120-130 math , 70-90 ACC , English 100 , and SSC 60? something like that.

any one taking the Computer Programmer (CPD or CPA)... how difficult is it?

how does it compare to other computer programs such as CTY or CNS in terms of difficulty and job placement once you graduate??? also which program is more interesting??

[chayanthi]

Hey all,

I've applied to the following (in order of preference):

1. Seneca - Corporate Communications
http://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/CCMC.html

2. Centennial - Corporate Communications and Public Relations
http://db2.centennialcollege.ca/ft/FMPro?-db=ftcourses.fp5&-format=record_detail.htm&-error=search_error.htm&-lay=detail&-max=10&-find=&-op=eq&Program+Code=6417

3. Sheridan - Corporate Communications
http://www1.sheridaninstitute.ca/programs/more/pccom/coursedescriptions.cfm

After looking at all three programs, it looks like Seneca's program is more theoretical, while Centennial and Sheridan are more practical. For example, it doesn't look like Seneca teaches students how to work with graphic design programs (Photoshop, etc.), while the other two schools do. And I'd really like to gain as much hands-on training as possible.

Can anyone shed some light on whether there is in fact opportunity to work with such applications in Seneca's program? Has anyone here gone through any of these programs? Would greatly appreciate any insight! ;)

Hi, I will be studying tv broadcasting this coming fall and i was wondering if anybody has exprienced it, what its like, homework load, books ETC. I will live is rez since im out of town so i dont have many resources available to me when i get into Toronto and i will like to get things done and ready before i head out there. So I do have a couple important questions

1. What computer do I need, specifications what programs do you use and what do i need

2. when do they hand out the timetables i understand its probably in august but do they printout one and send it

3. Are they going to send out a list of specifications in what i need to prepare for the classes e.g books,laptop,

seneca seems very vague on these details or its coming in the mail i would appreciate some feedback before i go and buy all these things
thank you very much this thread as been very helpful and im very excited to start my exprience

I am not sure about the spefifics of your program but your teachers will explain what you need during your first classes,
You will be mailed a timetable and a book list, but if you want it faster you can check on SIRIS. Also you need to have finished the skills assessment to get your timetable.

The two most important sites you will use while at seneca are
https://siris.senecac.on.ca <- Your timetable, academic record, Payment Record etc are all here
and
https://my.senecacollege.ca/ <- this is the most important site, you will get your email here, your teachers will post a module for your subject when they start

If you dont have your user/password I think you can make them from here
https://www.senecac.on.ca/pwservice/itaup.jsp

Also.. if you are taking the broadcast coruse from Seneca@York, and staying at the main seneca Res, you can get used to 40min Bus rides each day =)

[ally12]

thanks for the info, books im buying at seneca bookstore when i get there but i prefer to get my laptop at home then there i know i will be getting a macbook pro because i would like to focus more on the editing and graphics as in the future it will become my major its just deciding whether to get final cut or premiere, or photoshop all those little things because apple is very strict on returning laptops because they are customized to your needs, I understand that all this info will be coming to me first week but yet again im far away from home and dont have that kinda of money to buy a laptop in a last minute situation when i arrive at residence. thank you a1cd for your help.
Also If i do decide to get a mac resNet says they require Mac OS (tiger) are they upgrading to Leopard since its the new version of Macbook Pro

as for the bus ride when i visited residence this spring they informed they are offering free shuttle service from seneca to york on a daily basis for the seneca @ york students.

[ally12]

i talked to one of the teachers and they reccomend to buy a basic laptop wit final cut pro and MS office installed then wen i get to seneca in september to buy the extra programs att the bookstore cause they are alot cheaper i have another question does seneca resnet support the new mac OS leopard to connect the network cause its still stating they use tiger

How long does the bus take to go from Newnham to Seneca @ York? I'm thinking of dorming, but just want to make sure its actually easier to get to school from there than it is from my house.

The TTC Bus takes about 30-40min (Finch west till Finch station, then the 60C Steels west bus to york)
However if you log onto myseneca there is information about a shuttle service for people at residence. I have no idea how long that would take, and how often it would come.

hey, u are quite late in the game for a first year im assuming?
if you are ocas confirm was May 1st and during that time you would have receieved a welcome package with tuition info, ocas info etc..
for first year tuition fees were due JUNE 15 if you didnt not pay without notify seneca with a reason you have forfeit your program seat.

unless you are in a different situation than normal first years you may want to contact the college

I did some research is your program an over subscribed program?
if so a student declined their spot in your program and the school is offering it to you as a late offer. you should a recieve a welcome package 2-3 weeks after you confirmed and tuition fees may be due in late july early august if this info doesn't help you and you are still concern you can always call

Awesome. Yes, I guess that would make much more sense to buy a laptop. You'll log on your my.senecacollege.ca account at least twice a day to see if any professors post anything important in there. Lucky that you'll be living in residence because you don't have to travel hours to school. I remember myself wasting 45 minutes to travel to school everyday and another 45 minutes to go home.

You must be going to Newnham campus? If so, there is a hot dog stand outside. That guy cook really good sausages and hot dogs. Pretty good! Also, No Frills nearby.
Seneca@York? Have to take the bus out of the campus to find good places to eat.

Good luck

York Lanes (the student center) has Taco bell, a chinese wok, Wendy's, some pizza place, subway , kfc, mr Greek, Popeyes, mr sub (back of vari hall)

and if you dont like fast food there are those restaurants like blue berryhills and the other ones in that ministrip mall thing at york lanes.
not to mention all the small cafes around york, and several hot dog stands. The hot dog stand that opened near the cafe and bookstore is pretty good.

then there is the grocery store in york lanes, and if you walk out east for5min that hoops restaurant and quiznos etc.... There is loads of food at york, esp compared to newnham which has subway+the normal cafes that are everywhere. For anything else you have to go out of the school

Its free because S@Y has a much smaller student population than newnham, even at peak times I've never seen it packed.
Also I think they got most of the equipment from york, probably at a cheaper price.

Nice, I hate packed gyms! So nobody from York can go in there?

I imagine York has a gym too that's bigger, is that free? I imagine not.

A friend of mine is going to "Practical Nursing" @ Seneca...

She is hearing stuff about ICA, does this program require it? Can anyone shed any light on the first few weeks of the PND program @ Seneca?

She also heard you can get exempted from that course and don't need to buy the PINS if you do a pre-test, is that true?

to get exempted from ICA , you have to schedule an appointment and do all 4 modules and getting 75-80% on all 4 modules in order to be exempted from the course.otherwise if you complete some of the modules but fail others you just take what ever modules when the class is doing them.

Don't do any shortcuts when doing the test. Sometimes the long way is the correct answer. :lol:

[a1cd]

ICA is a useless money grab, most likely it has ZERO implication on your program, its just a way to trap people into paying 80$ for pins. Take the shortest way out.

The first time you do the test it is confusing because you cant click anywhere but the right area, if you make a mistake it just moves to the next question w/o telling you. After you do it once it makes sense but hte first time its confusing.
ICA is use MS Office, Windows Vista, Powerpoint and Excel

Seriously useless class

First semester is basically a blow off, nothing is difficult so long as you keep pace.

Second semester you will have labs in literally every course. Many people also failed things like ASP scripting (INT213) and Linux (OPS235). So watch out.

I'm currently taking the third semester and is literally rape.

hey are you talking about Computer Systems Technology (CTY)?...i'll be taking CTY in september and i think the course shouldnt be too difficult as long as you have the interest to learn.

what do most students do during their breaks in between classes? i've been around the school and theres not much to do. i would think most students just go to the lab and browse the internet?

anyone else here starting 1st year CTY (computer systems technology) seneca@york in september?

[a1cd]

During breaks most people go to the library or hte open lab. My first semester I didnt have very long breaks so I just kinda hung out with friends and just messed around untill my next class.

If you have long breaks you can either go to the library or go to the Open Lab (Tel building 2nd floor). 2nd semester you will spend a LOT of time in the open lab because you need to do work on your own hard drive and only can do it in the open lab or at home if you have the proper setup.

UT2003 is on all computers at school (even the ones in the classrooms) so a lot of people plan LAN games (even during class! although I dont recommenced this... maybe for ios :P)
You will make friends fast, especially because you will sahre you classes with the same people. Most likely you will have the exact same timetables as most of the people in your class


I guess i'll just add some advice I have for CTY
Work hard first semester, really. First semester classes are very easy. With minimal effort you can get 3.9-4.0. If you struggle and get lower than a 3 or have to drop classes you really have to look at how hard you are working, because it gets a LOT harder second semester and VERY hard after that. If you get that 4.0 first semester it will allow you to maybe mess up a class 2nd semester and still have a GPA high enough for co-op.


You will get crib sheets for all your classes (except APC) and a lot of people rely on those way to much, you really have to understand the stuff. I cant tell you how many people I know who just start failing and dropping classes in 2nd semester. When you get to 2nd you will not be allowed to have them in most classes.

And finally, make good friends. I would probably be failing If I didnt have friends that helped me, dont be afraid to ask and make sure you understand your stuff because if you dont it WILL come back and bite you in the ass 2nd semester!



BTW I just finished mentor training today, so if any of you in CS apply for a mentor it may be me! :cheesygri

Hey guys,

Will be moving into the 16th and Kennedy area (Markham) in the next few weeks or so. I'm at Seneca@York full time and was wondering if any of you knew how I might be able to get to and from school using transit.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey guys,

Thanks in advance for your help.

YRT Bus, Route 8. Kennedy South to Highway 7. Then take viva Purple west (To york University, if the bus says "Markham Sotuvile Hospital" its going east and the wrong way, you want the one that says "York University" on it.)

That will take around 45-50 Minutes on Viva Purple from Kennedy/Highway7 + how long it takes you to get to Highway7.

I take viva Purple Everyday, and almost without fail it ends up being just around 50Min from York->Markville Mall Which is right next to Kennedy.

The other way ( Faster, but more expensive) is to get to Markville Mall OR Unionville GO station (Which is on kennedy a bit south of Highway 7, The YRT 8 Kennedy Route also goes here) and take the 54 GO bus which goes on the 407 to york in around 20min. Its a lot faster but its expensive, and you have to pay extra to take the TTC to the go station.

[trisle604]

does anyone know how you would take the bus from the viva station in richmondhill to the king campus?

[a1cd]

From Richmond Hill Center, you take viva Purple West (York U) To Promanade Terminal.

Then take the

88 Finch Station - Seneca College King Campus (Weekdays and Saturdays)

Not 100% sure about the 88 bus.

I'm not really sure, if you go to Student Services they have these cards with bus directions from the campuses. I think you can take a leslie bus from Newnham north but not 100% sure on details.


Also if you live on residence, they are offering a free shuttle service starting in September, might want to look into that.

[trisle604]

yeah im currently trying to figure out a way to get there.the only way that i know of so far that is concrete would be taking a yrt bus to finch station then take the 88 from finch station that brings me directly there , but that is going south then back up north to get there. busing seems complicated ~_~

[a1cd]

Where are you starting from? Newnham?
http://www.senecarez.com/ see on the side, it talks about the free shuttle service if you live at the res.

There is another way, it involves
http://yrt.ca/maps/navigators/90.pdf

Go to
http://tripplanner.yrt.ca/

From the dropdown box select POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION for both and from Newnham to King.

[asaadmq]

I see, i guess the only way to get to King from Newnham is through a YRT Bus pass which Seneca said they will give me, since the shuttle service runs to the markham & york only.

hey i got a question regarding route, i goes to newnham but never taken viva with ttc transfer before ,does anyone know TTC transfers from mccowan southbound "the transfer with holes" works for VIVA? is it consider a YRT fee?

The TTC and YRT Transfers are a bit confusing.

If you live ABOVE Steeles and are CROSSING Steeles you need to pay twice, a YRT fare above steeles and a TTC fare below it.

http://www.yrt.ca/services/ttc-in-york-region.asp

If you are NORTH of steeles, board a TTC Bus and START AND END YOUR TRIP north of steeles you can use that transfer to get onto viva.

The one at Newnham is a bit werid, I am not 100% sure about how that one works, but you can not use the ttc transfer because that would be a TTC fare, only ttc transfers gotten over Steeles work (Punched Zone 3)

Also Viva Green, which is the one at newnham only works 6-9ish AM and 3-5ish PM and only on weekdays.

If you are taking the TTC South to Highway 7 and taking the Viva Green from there. Thats fine, it will work. just make sure you take a transfer and try to make sure the driver punches holes in it (In the little box that says "Zone 3") If he doesnt, its not a HUGE deal, you might get a viva cop who gives you **** but they will usually let you off if you explain that you just took whatever transfer he offered. I know that when I take that TTC bus 70% of the time the drivers dont bother to punch that hole

Probably better to ask in The York U Thread, but the answer is pretty much No. There are plazas near york but your car will get towed or ticketed ( I know cars parked at the Tim Hortons in front get booked). Parking at york is also VERY expensive.

From my experience, you will receive a Seneca College package in your home mailbox. It will include your timetable and information about the College. Then you have the option to change your timetable around mid August on SIRUS.

I believe they mailed you something asking to pay for tuition. If you paid, you're ready to access SIRUS soon (around August) to check your timetable.

So I did my assessment test at Seneca for my CTY program today. I only had to do the English portion which had a 350 word essay and a 20 reading comprehension questions on a computer. I am a little bit worried because I don't think I did that well on the essay. We were given 45 minutes to write a 350 word essay or 3 1/2 pages. The subject I got was the causes and affect of automobiles. I was having an off day so I couldn't really think of something to write so it took my awhile to come up with stuff and so after 45mins I had about 2 1/3 pages. On the computer portion I ended up with 100/120 and the lady said it was good.

So the question I have is given what I did, would you guys think I would go in the EAC150 English class or the other one that does not even worth a credit?

most likely if you really did poorly you will be put in EAC149 and possibly given the opportunity in the first week the prof may ask everyone to write an essay / paragraph and based on that you will either be bumped to EAC150 or remain where you are.thats what my prof did , few students were bumped to EAC150 while others remained.

thanks

[trisle604]

Can you give me some details about the essay/reading and computer test? Hints on question, layout and format? I'm also in CTY this September and will be taking the assessment next week.

i believe the seneca website has an example of the reading questions , its basically using proper grammar and punctuation for the most part.they will use simple ones and then there are a few ones that can be tricky.for instance

that is ______ restaurant .

a) there
b) their
c) they're

somewhere along those lines , others will use semi colons , periods , new sentence etc.

essay is simple just read a short article or topic w/e is given and then write on it.nothing to be worried about no matter what you get accepted to the school.

If there are no more seats left then you need to contact your coordinator asap so they can hopefully get you into the class. Email or call them or even go see them. If you wait then the class might be to full and they cant do anything for you.

Your probably gonna get Andre Bernes for HWD101, hes old and talks endlessly about outdated stuff. He also marks like a ass at times. But the class is open book so its not that bad.
I know Juan Berrious is also teaching HWD this semester, that guy is a VERY bad lecturer, very hard to understand and not clear at all. I was so lost when I had him for DCN.. He is someone I would AVOID, not because of how he marks but because how he lectures. Although Berns isnt much better.


For APC, I only know O.Hodara. She was a pretty good teacher, she was strict and a bit of a hard marker but overall she was good at teaching. We had to do a 50min presentation for her though while the other class got off with a 20min one lol. Shes hot too :D

For IOS, I had Katherine James, she was very very nice, gave easy marks. The class itself is easy and a bit useless. Some other teachers teaching that I know are Danny roy, he was pretty good from what I heard.


For ULI, plenty of teachers for this one, and since this is the one most people drop.... ;D


John Samules-, From what I heard, hes really good.

David Ward- Not good. Stay away if you can lol

Rizen- Easy marker

Joey Perkins- This is who I had, hes one of the heads of IT, and knows a lot. But hes not really a teacher... His lectures were ok but not great. However he was really approachable if you had questions and was very helpful.

His tests were very hard, and he was picky in his marking, but this is GOOD! because you learn stuff so much better. When you get to OPS235, its right or wrong, no half marks EVER.

You need to know this stuff for ops235. If you get joey I recommend you stay in it, hes a really cool guy :)

---------------------------------------

Overall, some teachers I would avoid, but dont just go for easy teachers everywhere because it will come back to bite you in the ass. I cant tell you how many people got easy teachers in ULI, finshed with an A.. and then in OPS235 have no ****ing idea what they are doing and fail badly.

So what exactly am I entitled to for paying this $90 Technology fee?

[mgronqui]

You get a drug plan ( the card is swipe able at drug stores,) its good for one cleaning as well. There is other stuff its covered for stuff too but i'm not sure on details.

Its only for full time AFAIK

Here's info straight from the site:

Health/Dental Insurance Fee

This insurance was instituted by the student government to provide mandatory accident, illness, dental and extended health coverage for students in a group plan format. A lump sum of $77.19 each semester is billed to the student account. This includes the following fees:

* Health and Accident Insurance Fees:
The health insurance fee for single coverage is $22.02 (G.S.T. included) and the accident insurance fee is $0.92 (G.S.T. included). The total $22.94 fee is mandatory and non-refundable. For more information, contact Student Services or visit www.senecac.on.ca/student.
* Dental and Extended Health Insurance Fees:
The dental insurance fee is $41.29 (G.S.T. included) and the extended health insurance fee is $12.96 (G.S.T. included). These fees are refundable. To opt-out of these fees on line by the required deadlines, visit www.senecac.on.ca/student, or for more information, contact Student Services.

[Computer500]

So what exactly am I entitled to for paying this $90 Technology fee?

For using computers on campus.

To use Seneca's IT wireless network resources.

I think it's normal. University is even worse. They charge fees for services that you don't even use such as maintenance of the health center or student center or building fee.

[Jack Bauer]

Just for fun, i was wondering who was your best and worst prof in Seneca?

The best prof i had was Brenda Northey, who taught MRK 320 (Marketing and Sales hybrid). Sometimes her lectures went a little longer than they should but she was a fair marker and i actually learned some sales techniques.

Worst was Sandra Wellman, who taught BUS 400 (Macro Economics). Her tests were incessantly hard and i could not learn the material at all. I studied extremely hard for the final because i knew i was on the bubble and i felt i did great on the exam. She ended up failing me and i had to re-take the course (only course i failed at Seneca).I took it in the summer and actually learned all the material. Whats funny is i basically wrote the summer exam the same i did for Wellmans and i ended up getting a B+ as opposed to an F.

I also was very close to getting Peter Austin and Carlmelo Tropiano this summer, who were teaching EAC 268 (Gothic Horror Story). I switched out and took another course after reading about them on ratemyprofessor.com. Take a read on their pages- i've never seen 2 teachers consistently hated so much.

Hi guys ,
Im going to take the Assessment test tomorrow for Accounting and Payroll . I need to do English and Math . Anyone have experiences for English test ? what's kind of essay ?? My English is not well , so im so worry about it .

Hi guys ,
Im going to take the Assessment test tomorrow for Accounting and Payroll . I need to do English and Math . Anyone have experiences for English test ? what's kind of essay ?? My English is not well , so im so worry about it .

I took the English and Math assessment many years ago. I'm not sure if it's the same but I'll share some of my experience.

The math portion was done on a computer. There was a wide range of math questions from basic algebra (B.E.D.M.A.S, expanding stuff like 3(5x+2X) = ? to geometry stuff (Find x when one side is 5cm and the other side is 5cm) to decimals conversions. All multiple choice. So the answer is there but you have to pick one. It's pretty much common sense. If you took math from grade 9-12, you should be able to do well.

The English portion was done on computer (multiple choice) and I did an essay on paper. The topic was random for everyone and you write an essay out of it. Mine was something about educating students about aids/hiv and its importance. I guess it depends on your program. Just remember to use proper format (intro, body paragraphs, conclusion) and remember to use examples to back it up. Regarding the computer test, it was based on choosing the best grammar sentence and some questions asked about what's the importance of the paragraph.

I didn't do good on the english and i went into EAC149. If you did good, you'll go directly into EAC150.

[winn84]

Thanks Computers 500 . I hope i can do well tmr .

Hey a1cd check out mine, i've been reading a lot of your posts here on this thread, just lurking and reading.. is my schedule going to be the same for other students in the same program??

[a1cd]

I've never heard of you IOS teacher, but ..
http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=41277
Some of those are probably angry studetns though, I wouldnt put TOO much salt into what they say.

IOS is very easy though, you should get an A no problem, the 2 hour class isa lecture and the 3 hour class is a Lab but no one stays for the full 3 hours lol

---------------------------------------------------------
You ULI teacher also I dont know, but he is rated good
http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=12978

Anyways ULI is the same, two hour lecture 3 hour lab, most people leave 1 hour into their lab if they bother to come at all. You can do most of the labs from anywhere in secure shell client
----------------------------------------------------------
You APC teacher I had, she is hot ;) she is like 25 and has a **** load of degrees in pshych..
but a bunch of people thought she was hard. IMO she gave pretty easy tests, she was a bit strict on the group presentation though, you HAD to be in class for audience marks, we had to do a fifty minute presentation.. which is actually easier than it seems lol. She is a very good teacher, great clarity and was a good teacher.

She also didnt post any PowerPoint notes up. But trust me, its worth going to class just to see her, and to see people in the front row try to hit on her :D

--------------------------------------------------------
Your HWD teachers, The classes with Andre Burns are the lecture/lab classes, hes a bit old and not a great teacher. the first day he will go on and on about motherboards and what goes on them without explaining anything properly.

The two hour classes with Andre are labs, every week you have a in class open book + internet quiz worth 1%. the 1 hour class is the lecture.

He also has a habit of talking about stuff for like 20 min, (like token ring network) and then mention that its old technology and no one uses it..

His tests are hard because he marks very hard. but you get a crib sheet PLUS the textbook. What I recommend is buy the textbook and tab the **** out of it with sticky notes so you know where everything is LOL!

The classes with Claudelle grant are the lab classes that you actually work on the computers themselves, she is great and funny lol. she plays Venga boys in class :D



---------------------

you will probably have people who share most of your classes with you, but there are more than one section for each class. There are 5 or 6 sections for each class, more for uli lol

You should be concerned that you are not enrolled in any EAC courses. According to Computer Systems Technology's curriculum you should be in EAC150. If you did bad on the assessment, might be in EAC149.

The question is did you just do the English assessment test recently...if you did it long ago, you should call and check it out before school starts.

[ally12]

hi I would like to add an elective to my timetable im first year do I have to wait till 2nd semester or can i add one in 1st semester? when im adding the elective it says that I should check with the subject load of my program so i wont overload on hours per week and get charged a fee , how do I check that on the seneca website

I did the English assessment 2 weeks ago. At the bottom of the timetable that I had received in the mail, it says "NO ENGLISH ASSESSMENT RESULT" and it was highlighted. This probably means that they haven't looked at my assessment yet?

First of all, what program did you register for?
Find your program name and curriculum on the Seneca College website and that will tell you what you need to take. From my personal experience, I have never added any elective course in my first semester until second semester is approaching. Once your timetable comes out for the 2nd semester (which is around to November/December)...that is when you should see what courses are offered as an elective and time slots....add it to your schedule...then check how much $ you owe on SIRUS...then pay...

I did the English assessment 2 weeks ago. At the bottom of the timetable that I had received in the mail, it says "NO ENGLISH ASSESSMENT RESULT" and it was highlighted. This probably means that they haven't looked at my assessment yet?

This is probably the reason why EAC150/EAC149/ESL wasn't added to your timetable yet. I bet many year 1 students had nice summer and waited until August to write these assessment tests. I believe more than 200 students come in each day to write these tests and on top of that the people who work there have to read like 200 essays and decide if you're suitable for EAC149 or EAC150 or ESL.

I would wait a few more days and see if they add anything to your timetable. If not, give them a call and see what's going on.

Good luck

I'm going to APP too :) are you starting in Sept?

[Computer500]

...

SaNTi iTNaS,

Personally, I think you have a really heavy course load. My timetable was like that in my first semester but I studied really hard and got the marks I wanted.

I met about 70-100 students in my program in the 1st semester. Guess what? half of them disappeared when it got to the 2nd semester. I'm not trying to scare you but these are true facts. I graduated with 30 students when initially about 70-100 students signed up for the program in the beginning.

All I can say is study as hard as you can. You want to get all B's and higher to get into co-op if your program offers it.

You should use www.ratemyprofessors.ca and check it out.

[a1cd]

I agree with computer500, your timetable seems pretty stacked to me but from the seneca site it looks like you are required to take all of that so I wouldnt drop anything or will you be behind and already ineligible for co-op

It is larger because you are in the lower levels of math AND eac, which means extra hours per week.

But the part about people dropping out is 100% true, its true for all programs but for engineering especially.. You should be ok if you just work hard, EAC149 is non-credit so all you need is a 55% in the class and it wont affect your gpa.

Remember, just because its college doesnt mean its a walk in the park ;)

[SaNTi iTNaS]

Yeah... I figured they gave me the stacked timetable for a reason.

Hopefully everything works out.

Thanks! :lol::(

have a question my computer application course sent me a course outline it says you will be work on MS Office and vista. I am used to the MAC platform and its more useful in my other classes. I do have MS office for MAC and have all the programs listed except vista obviously. My questions are how would I work in the class if I have a MAC? has anybody taking computer applications before and also its marked as hybrid so I have to somethings on my own also to do

[a1cd]

Its find of hard to explain ICA because its so werid and also it keeps changing ever damn seemster.. but here is the gist of it.

ICA is sepearted into 4 sections, Powerpoint, Excel, word, and Vista (Or access in computer related programs)

At the start of the semester you are asked to come in and do pretests for each of them, you must get 9/10 to be exempt from the module, if you get exempt you do not have to take it.

For the ones you dont get exempted from, you have to buy a $20 pin code for each, and then register on http://seneca.simnetonline.com where there will be lessons posted online.

The class goes something like this

Week 3ish: Word Module starts for people who arent exempt: Assingment
Week4: Word Test (same as the pretest but with 30questions and most get like 80%+)
Week5: Powerpoint assingment
and so on and so forth.

For the modules you are exempt from you dont go to class and dont have to do it.
Last semester it was a at home TEST but you had to go to school for the assignment. However this seems to keep changing for some reason.
--------------------------

As for how the tests are given.... its all done on simnetonline and its pretty much a pop up simulation of Word/POwerpoint etc. you are asked a question like

"How would you set the margins to Wide?"

And asked to click on the right button to make it work, if you click in the wrong area it counts this as an attempt and moves on ( you can go back but you only have 3 attempts per question)

As you can see, this is ****ing stupid.

thanks very i have a couple more questions, even though you have no previous knowledge you still need to take the tests the first week of class? it says the tests are optional
can I do all this work for the course on my mac since the way you explained it you read a text and answer questions? and if i need to get access is there a version for mac?

The actual tests and lessons are just a large flash program so you should be fine.

The pretests are hard to pass because the interface is really confusing, however after you do the lessons its a piece of cake tbh.

The lessons are the same, just popup flash windows. I see no reason why it wouldnt work on a MAC.

Wow this sounds like a bad reason to take $80 from us

Pass the pretests? :)

I would show you what its like and maybe even show you the lessons for it... but the real stupid thing is that AFTER THE SEMESTER IS OVER THEY TAKE AWAY THE LESSONS THAT YOU PAID FOR

:evil:

[Computer500]

Ac1d is right.

I don't think you will be using your own Microsoft Excel application. It's something that pops up in flash and you work within it. Not on your own Excel program. So whether you have a MAC computer or PC at home. it has no affect.

Week3: Word Test (I believe it's done on Simnet): You have 5 days to work on it. Correct?? Do it at home or at school

Week4: Word Test (Must be in class to do the test. Right Ac1d?

[a1cd]

They change it every semester, I really dont know why they cant just pick one and stick to it

When I did it in Fall 08 it was

Do assingment in class,
DO test in class


Winter 09 was

Do assignment in class
DO test any time during hte week for anywhere (made cheating so easy)

A few years ago you could just do all of them on one day

I did mine in Fall 06. First day we would get an email assignment. Basically answer some questions about the Internet Use Policy and email it to the professor in a few weeks. Took me an hour to do, it was simple. Then we had to take 5 tests for Word, Excel, etc. Had to have 70% minimum. You could do it all in one day. Of course i put it off until the last week.

Course was a huge waste of time and money. Didn't learn anything i didn't already know and wasn't interesting.

If you people are worried about ICA just wait till you get to the other courses that count. ;)

Just do the modules and test/practices and you cannot fail.

Depending on which campus you got accepted into.

If you're going to the Newnham Campus this Sept, I believe you need to bring a few identification (picture ID, timetable, etc) and it's right across the bookstore. Just ask people where is the bookstore and you'll see it if you're in Newnham Campus....

yeah it comes to a complete shock to me how one can fail the finals , when the whole finals for that course was all common sense questions."what is procrastination ? and when have you done it through out this term and what could you have done to avoid procrastination" , "what are three things you have taken from this class that will improve your current academic studies" , and the list goes on.i feel confident that i would have atleast gotten an 80 at the least , although i feel i shouldve gotten in the 90%+.i plan to call my prof tomorrow to make sure those are the correct grades before going into the appeal process.i just cannot fathom me failing that course of all courses...its one thing if i had failed english or my marketing exam , those were tough as nails , but i still feel i did fairly well on those , my math and ssc however i know i aced all of them and would even go as far as saying i got perfect on both.

TV Broadcasting timetable i haven't written my assessment test yet

anyone in any my classes

WOW your Mondays are horrible.

[poonpower]

Hey there,

Anybody here attending a graduate certificate program this year?

[ally12]

WOW your Mondays are horrible.

unfortunatly they are I tried to use that function on Siris to see if i can switch them around to different days but everything is full, my program was on a waitlist so it is quite popular

but c'est la vie

[a1cd]

The worst is you dont even have to go to the ICA class, so you have a monster break lol. Hopefully you like going to the gym or reading :)

[ally12]

i do enjoy reading but i think mostly on my breaks ill do my ica online stuff and some english homework im assuming it probably be on Tuesday once i get that sorted out

For IOS- Katherine James is really really nice, she gave us perfect on the labs without even reading our answers lol.. Most group presentations got above 90%. Very easy A if you put a tiny bit of effort in it.

HWD101- Juan Berrious... he is a very bad lecturer, this guy makes ZERO sense, I had him for DCN this semester and after every class I left even more confused. I had to read the book to understand the class, and the book for HWD isn't reading material lol. However the other guy isnt much better lol. Becasue its Open book it doesnt really matter.

C.Grant, she is the lab teacher and very nice/funny.

Lustmen for APC, I didnt have her but she was a bit easier I guess, she didnt follow the book though which made it harder to study for tests.

ULI teacher I have no idea, and ICA is irrelevant lol

[mgronqui]

Hey there,

Anybody here attending a graduate certificate program this year?

I'm doing Technical Communications. What are you doing?

[treehouse]

I tried to adjust my timetable through SIRIS, but it says "Sorry. DROP window is now closed." & "Sorry. ADD window is closed now." Does it mean I have no more chance to change timetable?

You cant change it through SIRIS first semester, try going to the program coordinator, they might be able to do it.

Hello fellow Seneca students, i thought I would use my first post to ask a question. I'm attending the Newnham campus in Sept and in the mail last week I got a package from Seneca. Inside was my schedule and all the other regular papers. I noticed that in one of the papers it stated that parking at Newham is very difficult to find after 9am. Has this been your experience? I have no problem paying for parking, I just need to know if I have to make an effort get there early every day or not. I plan on getting a parking permit so I don't mind paying for parking I just don't want to be out of luck if I get there just before my 11.30 class.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The first/second week is crazy. Might be really tough to find a parking spot.

Lots of students coming in and out because they need to buy textbooks. So many students because its their first class and they don't want to miss anything out.

After half the semester is gone through, everything will settle down and parking spot will be easier to find.

[malvernrob]

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the prompt response.

Sup,

I'm a bit worried because I haven't received my schedule by mail. I checked it on SIRIS, but shouldn't I have received the mail already?

What should I do?

Dont worry, you don't need the one they send you in the mail. The one on SIRIS is the most up to date, and that is the one you should look at before you go to school because it will have up to date classroom numbers

[michaeljchan]

Just wondering,

Anyone planning on doing Language Classes @ Seneca?

Japanese - 9:00 AM
Mando - 7:00 PM.

[bclark]

I will be taking it and I suck at subnetting... bah its going to be a hard course!

I personally found NDD430 to be a pretty straight forward and easy course. Go to class, do the weekly subnetting quizzes, pay attention when Scott takes up the answers (he always tries to throw in tricks that will surely throw people off). Make a mental note of those "tricks" because I can guarantee you that you will run into similar if not the exact same questions on the mid-term/final exams. If you think NDD430 subnetting is tough then you will have issues with CIS701 VLSM. Believe me, NDD430 is a walk in the park in comparison :)

[White Comet]

I just hate that the fact there's so little electives available for the IAF program...it's like non-existent T.T

Not to be egotistical but how's the workload generally at Seneca? I came from UW so I'm hoping I transition well.

You should have no problems at all...

i think you can be really good at subnetting with lots of practice. Scott Apted can help you out if you ask him. You COULD ask Arthur Bodourian... but that's only if he likes you - that guy has like mood swings.

Taking Civil Engineering Technology, timetable doesn't seem very intimidating but that ENS and all that space in between to EVS.....

Any opinions on the program? I'm thinking of taking it all the way to University.

[Marturbator]

anybody here taking the firefighting program at seneca college? I definetly plan on doing it but I just got out of high school and my student counselor told me they usually dont take students straight out of high school, and I've posted this question on yahooanswers but i didnt really get a good reply, heres the C/P

University or Firefighter's College or Both?
Hi Hello, I am currently in a predicament. I am finished my final year of high school and I dont really know what to do. I've contemplated on it for a while and I've decided that I want to be a firefighter (ultimately). But my parents want me to go to university. It didnt really matter to me so I thought about doing uni first with a course that could supplement my firefighting application and beef it up when I apply to become a firefighter But of course that takes time (approx 4-5 years of uni plus 2 years of college for FF) and by the time that'll be over I am going to be about 25 years old. Is that too old to start becoming a firefighter? I am currently 18 years old.

However, thats only half the problem, Since as long as I can remember I've never really taken school seriously and therefore learned the hard way where it reflected in my marks. Now i am at the end of my high school career, I am beginning to feel the major repercussions to the choices I made in the past limiting the options available to me in the future. I could try to get into uni but it will be very hard, VERY hard, however not impossible. Just wondering if the time is worth it? since i only want to go to uni for the experience and as a supplement.

And in addition, if there are any firefighters here, would you kindly help me out by telling me if life as a FF will be hard being who I am?

-I am of Oriental ethnicity
-18 years of age (Student counselor said FF programs dont usually take anyone straight out of high school, true?)
-Medium body build (weight lifting since I was 15, stopped the past year and did a lot of cardio and lost 30 pounds)
-about 177-179 cm in height (not exact since I only measured at the lego poster in front of Toys R Us where you stand next to a stack of lego and each lego was 1 cm and I measured about 180 lego bricks with shoes on)
-Took all university courses and 3 college prep courses in high school (college courses got me an average of 90%, Uni....<75% or less)
-Dont smoke, stopped burning MJ (never done it a lot in the first place), and no drugs
-And I want to be a FF in Ontario, Canada

So basically that is my predicament, I know what I would like to do, but dont know due to my lack of experience and knowledge, all advice is appreciated, I am also worried about my height since being a FF does require a high level of fitness and the only FF i have seen are giants about 6" tall. As you can tell, I am quite serious about this problem so please answer seriously. All advice is appreciated >=)

thanks for your time

[onecelledbrain]

anybody here taking the firefighting program at seneca college? I definetly plan on doing it but I just got out of high school and my student counselor told me...

I met a couple of firefighters in the making and from what they've experienced they found it VERY stressful in the academics but mostly in the physical part of the program. You have to understand your going to be running around with 80lbs of equipment plus carrying another person at times so they drill you without mercy. Demand for firefighters are much lower now then before but your sure to find a job, I mean they won't turn down someone willing to save lives but having said they make sure to pick the most capable ones. A friend right now got accepted to a program at a college in Oshawa and he's started training long before, at least 2yrs ago before any acceptance. And BTW lots of volunteer experience adds sheen to applications, I met most of the cops/firefighters to be volunteering at Habitat for Humanity in Toronto. And yea they told me the programs are picky about the heights too. But make calls, call the program heads and interrogate them.

Personally, I STRONGLY recommend University if you can or a College even and suggest a program that would closely let you work with firefighters. I'm sure there are programs like that.

And dude I went through the same exact problems with my high school grades. I wasted time in high school because no one explained to me what it was like in the real world. In the real world its not like high school where teachers hold your hand and give you a smile and kiss if your late to class and useless guidance counselors that tell you its OK if you failed you can make it up in no time. Dude out here if you fail your fired, if your late your fired, if you fart in someones air your fired. Its a dog eat dog world out here and your always gonna have someones jaws locked on your crotch trying to rip it off ya. I was ashamed with myself, I saw friends going of to university earning degrees and fancy certificates that mean the world to employers. But I got focused and got that holy slap I needed. It took me almost 2 years fine tuning my grades again through summer schools and alternative schools. But now I'm off to college doing something I want to do because I now know I can do it. Don't deprive yourself of a University, if you can go then GO because its those fancy certificates and Ph.D's and Dr's that make the most money with strokes of pens because they've worked their ass to earn the abc's in front of their names. Your still young and got a bit of time left take a half semester at a high school or an alternative one (A.S.E 1). Clean up the necessary grades if you have to and get your ass to a University. But don't waste your time, take the hard initiative in whatever you have to and gettir done.

There are a couple of firefighter threads in the career forum you should read where several guys currently employed by services post. Ask your questions there for real life answers.

I'm in the same program. Have a friend who graduated from it, said it was fairly easy, informative, but most important he got a job right out of school. Just make sure to qualify for the co-op program, something like a 3.0 or 3.5 GPA first semester.

Also, you guys know any good grocery stores near the Seneca at York area?

It's my first year at Seneca, 18 years old... anyone have any tips/info? Just curious, what's the main age group at seneca? I'm scared its mostly older people lol

26 hours of classes is a lot of time imo. And you have breaks in between classes which extend your schedule as well. That's a lot of time, at least compared to what i went through. I personally never had more than 22 hours. Look at the bright side though- you can get some reading and homework done in between your breaks so when you get home you can relax.

As for students, it ranges. I've seen people in their 60's but the vast majority i've seen seem to be 18-25 ish. But I've never looked specifically at any age group, and some programs may vary. And i studied business administration, it was mostly young people there.

Well no you cant.. but that doesn't stop anyone LOL.

Most people I know just took the battieres out of the smoke detector, but one of my friends got a $~50 fine at the end of a semester because they somehow found out he smoked.


Also you arent allowed glass bottles, like big liqour bottles, have to be cans (And no one listened to this rule etiher LOL)

I don't think I could drop anything to reduce the amount of time tho... and I thought the breaks between classes were for lunch? haha although I'm glad classes start later, back in high school I got to school at 7:50am and had to wake up at 6:30am lol

do u kno what the work load is like?

I'm not entirely sure about your workload. When i took EAC 150, it was a lot of work early on. Lots of reading, lots of small homework assignments, lots of in-class essays and quizzes. It got better as the semester went on but it was a lot of work. Not hard at all, just a lot IMO. So that's what i'd expect.

I didn't take any of your other classes except for ICA001 which seems to change every year. I took it in Fall 2006 so it's probably very different now.

Since it's your first year and first semester i wouldn't expect too much of a heavy workload, but i can't guarantee what your program will be. (Not even sure what program your taking). In my first semester i had some readings and some homework but it was pretty easygoing, but i only had 5 or 6 courses. Looking at your timetable it seems like you have 8 courses so while it might not be a heavy workload for each course, it could just be a lot of small things adding up. I've slacked off and had to work hard to catch up with a workload as small as 4 courses, and you have double that. I wouldn't slack off if i were you lol.

Thanks jack... last question, do you think it would be useful to get one of those mini laptops just for notes? or is there not a lot of not taking?

Well what was the amount of written notes were there for english? (I would assume that class would have the most writing)

thanks

[limpid]

a1cd: congratulations. :) Everyone, if you are an CTY or CNS student, you'd know what a1cd has just done is awesome. Cheers to you, pal. I managed to get 2 A's (one in Win210) and a A- so all in all, not bad for me. (considering I had to drop two courses because of my surgery.) >:(

Can you tell me what I can do to get better in INT213? I learned nothing in those classes. :( All of a sudden we had to do the assignments and what we did in the labs I felt was just not enough (for me). That is the only class I am not looking forward to. :rolleyes:

For notes, it varies from teacher to teacher. A lot of my teachers just used power point slides and basically went off of it verbatim. But there are some teachers who do straight up lecturing without slides in which case you'll need to take notes. But if i had to guess, I'd say most of your teachers will just have power point slides meaning you'll probably just follow along and not have many notes if any. So I'd just recommend a pen and paper, you save money that way.

Personally, i never used a laptop and just had a pen and paper and got along fine for 3 years in Seneca.

For English, there is a lot of writing. Basically we'd read stories and passages from the textbook. After reading a story we might answer some questions and then take it up with the class in a discussion. The teacher would also go over literary concepts and points about stories on the board which we would write down. But i had a different prof than you will have so I'm not sure how your prof will go about things.

Hope that helps.

Do the assignment, thats how I learned.. I was so unprepared for the midterm but after doing the assignment I felt I could have aced it. The exam was a piece of cake though

[limpid]

I heard they made the exam easier because people were doing real bad in INT213. If they did it the way they initially wanted to do it, many people would have failed.

The only downfall about trying to learn through the assignment is they release it in week 4 (the other class had to wait till week 5) and we needed to know the material all the way up to week 5 in order to start. The midterm takes place in week 7. So basically, start as soon as it is released and ask plenty of questions if needed AND have a good partner who will work with you.

Have you heard anything about a R. Lockhart-Thompson as a prof? Is that Ryan Lockhart from Student Services teaching now? haha

The first half teacher, Rhonda wouldnt help us at all.. if you asked her a question about the assignment she would not tell you anything

For example for part one, you had make a button only appear to the admin, I asked her about it and she wouldnt tell me how to do it.

It was something like
If session("asd")= "admin" then
response.write "<input type= 'text'.... etc>

But we never learned that we could mix script and html, it seems simple now but I wouldnt have tired this if my friend hadn't told me how to do it. Not to mention that you had to change the double quotes to single quotes.

A lot of the stuff for me was just trail and error, Harvey on the otherhand for the 2nd part would sit down with you and help you debug if you had problems.

I wanted a second opinion from you guys. Do you think I should get a laptop for computer programming at sence@york or just stick with the old pencil and paper? Also another question how do you get to senece@york using the TTC?

I'm learning about TTC routes as well and from what I gather, you can take the York University express from Finch station. Other can chime in and confirm.

Downsview Station --> 196 York University Rocket (peak hours) or 106 York University (non-peak hours)

Finch Station --> (It works but I don't know which bus #)

You should ask the bus driver before hopping onto the bus. You'll see a lot of students with school bags so you'll know if you're on the right bus.

[kookoo]

My personal opinion on the 106 is takes a while and has a less frequent schedule during class hours. The 196A straight from Downsview is probably the best bust because of the frequency of it. If you miss the bus during rush hour, there is always a 196A or B behind at Downsview.

Now, if you're coming on Yonge, go to Sheppard and take the 196B. It is generally the fastest bus. The Finch 60 bus isn't that bad, but it takes longer and if you fall a sleep on the bus you might miss your stop. I've done that a lot.

When I was living off campus, I usually took the 196B and it was generally on time, so that is my choice. If you're gonna hang around there, the last 196A is around 1:15am where as the last 106 would be around 3 am.

Hope you get a good schedule.

[a1cd]

The bus from Finch Station is 60C, make sure you get C. If you dont get that one the other 60 buses pass york by but dont turn on keele.

As for needing a laptop, its nice to have it in some classes, but the computers in the classes/ open labs are pretty awesome. Huge LCD screens, quad cores etc. They are loaded with high-end Apps as well

Ok guys...

What is the fastest way to get from Newnham to King Campus? :?:

[a1cd]

lol king is a whole seperate problem LOL its pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

Anyways I think you can take something like TTC To Finch Station, then take the 85 Bathurst Bus from there, although you have to pay 2 fares in this method

Anyone taking NDD430, has great Subnetting skills they can share, has great Cisco router knowledge and can help me out and pass the course?

albeit rather late, but I just finished NDD this past summer, and could give you a hand I suppose? Got an A so I guess I can say I know a little bit, lol

Subnetting is stupid easy or at least it should be by now after taking WIN310 and DCN286/386, and pick up the Cisco book (CCNA Portable Command Guide - Second Edition) to help you out with Packet Tracer assignments, course should be a breeze...

In my last semester of CNS and can't wait to graduate. Probably head off to University next fall..

LOL yeah.. a friend of mines got into a "heated conversation" with him in front of the elevators

Bodourian is definitely a teacher you want to become friends with. That is one thing I learned taking one of his classes. Anyone reading this thinking of taking one of his classes, do it and take the advice I just mentioned.

You'll be fine. I missed my student orientation, didn't get my seneca email account until the 2nd or 3rd day of school, and didn't get my seneca card until the 2nd day of school. I managed fine. You might have some difficulty finding your rooms so going on friday is a good deal. If you have your timetable i'd recommend checking out where your rooms are located.

Its not bad at all, just go and make sure you talk to people. Its a bit hard but once you make a few friends its loads of fun. Profs know its your first week and generally they dont really teach anything difficult in the first week. You dont need textbooks till later, dont worry your profs will explain everything lol.


IMO Frosh and Seneca.. sucked. There was some stuff outside but It was really weak.

Going into first year CTY and I haven't got a parking pass yet for seneca@york and school starts tuesday. How much are parking passes for fall 2009/2010? Are there still parking spots left?

[a1cd]

Parking passes at S@Y are from York so they are the ones you need to contact. I would get on that ASAP because there are going to be HUGE lines. and parking a day w/o pass is like $13

[nman123]

thnx, im gonna call them first thing tomorrow. heard parking is pretty expensive hope im not to late

[Insider]

447 after taxes per semester (outer-reserved lot - Pond Road Lot 86), Sep-Dec. Just got mine today, avoided the rush.

You better go Friday or be prepared to wait around 2 or more hours next week; waiting and battling York students who waited until the last minute.

Parking services close @ 2:30pm this Friday (Sep 4).

Go to your first class on tuseday, although you might want to be early if you have never been to the campus before so you can find your room.

Especially if you are going to york, your going to have to find the Seneca Building

[a1cd]

Also make sure you print out a copy of your timetable from SIRIS on monday and use that one, DO NOT use the one mailed to you, there is a chance class rooms have changed. You dont want to be standing outside the wrong class for hours

I believe its on the first floor.. not sure. But there will be HUGE lines on tuseday, try going tmw if you can (pretty sure its open.

[SaNTi iTNaS]

I need some quick help / advice.

I just checked my updated schedule on SIRIS and they added a course at the end of Friday. Which is stupid since I should have been done with class on Friday at around 10AM. Now they expect me to stick around all day for this class?

http://i32.tinypic.com/2z8yih1.jpg

It says online, so I'm guessing I can do it at home? Does it have to be at that time?

Also, if you guys have any suggestions on moving some classes around, let me know. I'm open to suggestions.

If you've never been to the campus before and are taking the bus, might want to get there a bit early so you can find the place :lol:

http://www.yorku.ca/mstars/mirror/york/images/map_small.jpg

If you take the bus you will get dropped off around 24, TTC and Viva on the east side of Harry Arthur commons, and GO on teh west side.

(Assuming North is facing the big building in the middle, Vari Hall And the fountain)
Although from THIS picture, it would be walking south #24


Seneca is building #40 so you walk west from the bus stops. Its on the otehr side of the building that the GO buses stop at.

Kinda confusing lol. I got lost my first time

[onecelledbrain]

Are we allowed to move classes around to different time slots or is that wishful thinking?

Go onto SIRIS (https://siris.senecac.on.ca/) and click on Registration Options. Thats how you change it. However it may be locked for you because you are in first semester.

if its locked then only way to change is to talk to the program coordinator.

I've been searching around for a dedicated Seneca forum, or discussion board of some sort and I found this thread. The one at My.Seneca (Community discussion board) is soo dead, its so inactive - which is a shame.

For example.. my first class is IPC 144 B - RM. S2174


Does that mean its building #21? What building would that be in?

[a1cd]

No Seneca Only has two buildings, 40 and 39 (39 is shared with york)


So with room numbers (This only applies to S@Y)

S2174

First Letter will either be a S or a T. If its S then its in the SEQ Building, which is #40 and the main seneca building. If its T it will be in the TEL building which is 39

The 2nd digit, in this case a 2 means its on the second floor

So for IPC go to Main Seneca Building, #40 to the 2nd floor and look for the room number 2174.( I think its right above the library that room)

T4040

Would be in the TEL building, 4th floor

There is a bridge between SEQ and TEL buildings on the 2nd floor.

[jerico_al]

I'm at Seneca@York. Im going to pickup my osap tomorrow. so i have to go to the SEQ building first floor romm #1157. is that right? i have class at 1:30. how early should i be there?

[a1cd]

Its on the first floor, OSAP Registration and Student Services are all right there, probably going to be long lines so you wont miss it lol.

thanks a lot.

[a1cd]

if you are at Mccowan and Steeles (Where I live too btw :P )

Take the Steeles bus West to Finch station, get off and get on the 60C Steeles West bus to York. Make sure its 60C and not just a 60.


Or you could take the bus north to markville mall and take Viva Purple right to York.


Or you can take the bus to markville and take the GO to york. This way is the most expensive. You have to pay YRT and GO

YZ is just your section, there are loads of sections. each section is at a different time and different profs etc

Personally I take viva.. because its just one bus and a lot less stops. It takes 50min from markville. so if you can get dropped off there its great.

does the senecentre booth for ttc passes accept credit cards

[a1cd]

It turns on younge goes till finch station then the 60C goes north on Younge and turns left on steeles.


You could just get off at younge, walk across the street and catch the bus there rather then sit on the bus while it goes down younge.

Get used to many of your 'profs' coming off like they are joking. I would take them all serious. Try and read between the lines. That is the best advice I can give you. Nothing in CTY/CNS is for 'jokes' sake. You are at school to learn and most teachers (I call them teachers cause none of them have a Ph.D.) take their job seriously for the most part. Don't forget that.

Check out www.ratemyprofessor.ca and look up Seneca College to see how your 'teachers" are rated. ;)

Can you tell me how the hell this course got into the curriculum??? I have some random 22 year old college student monitoring the class sitting on his ass the while time while we screw around on the PC for the 2 hours. How hard are the Powerpoint and Excel tests?

Not gonna happen til next year. My prof told me they'd wait at least a year for bug fixes and all that.

What I am excited about is Chrome OS. :twisted:

I heard some people saying that computer students get access to Vista serial keys. But I can't seem to find it anywhere on ACS. I see XP and a few other server-related keys, no Vista.

[DLFB]

@ Seneca Newnham

If someone had found my sunglasses today...

...or know someone who did....

please let me know. I have a "reward" for you.

...lost my sunglasses today by misplacing/forgetting it somewhere. Either at the benches outside the library,at the caf or at any of the 2 classrooms I went in today. I hate losing stuff because I rarely do so.

I know chances are slim to none but I know somehow there's a good soul out there.

I emailed ACS and they said definitely will have Win 7 oct-november and wil offer both versions 32/64bit. Heres hoping that stays true!

PS. You get your keys by emailing ACS. ACS gives you one key for each thing you want. You cannot get extra keys. Just one. I got my XP + Key, Vista + Key and now waiting for Win 7. Better give me back something for paying for my tuition. And yes its only open for computer studies students.

PS2: You leave a DVD at the ACS office for them to burn. That is why you dont see Vista, etc.

Can you elaborate on how to get the keys? I thought we login on ACS website under MSDNAA License and request a key. Vista is not on there however.

I just noticed that you can request for keys through ACS website. I did not notice that until now, LOL, my bad. I suppose you can use that but...

For all my keys, I requested them through emailing ACS.. I emailed ACS and said I'm a CS student, giving them my student number to verify, and they emailed me back with the key to the OS I requested for.

I got my key for 2003 server, xp, and vista business through emailing ACS. I dropped off my DVD for them to burn Vista (ACS website doesn't have this to download). I went to the ACS office to see if they had Vista available. Then I went out and purchased a DVD.

Just email them and ask for one. Obviously they will verify if you are eligible for it (if you're in one of the CS programs).

Sooo... How would I go about transferring to CTY from ECT? I'm at Newnham and CTY is S@Y.

I'm gonna talk to a coordinator, but do any of you guys have any idea?

I would REALLY appreciate some info.

Thanks,

...it gets only worse with SMS...:lol:

I was really annoyed with both classes. SMS came in as a surprise for me because I didnt know I had to take it.

SMS is actually useful though there isn't enough time to absorb everything since you're bombarded with assignments/in class work all the time. I wish they gave us more time for practice since Excel is very useful.

[a1cd]

You should talk to the coordinator, but the general idea is you have to apply for CTY on OCAS like you did for ECT. then accept the offer and it will trasnfer you.

Also you may want to stick out ECT for a while.. its a bit early to give up already

No but I think the deadline to drop and get money back is coming up very soon, I think its in the first 2 weeks.

The only credits that would transfer would be EAC and ICA. Nothing else would so if you plan on transferring you dont have to or need to take them.

This might **** up things with OSAP and RESP though.


Also you would start in winter semester

Whats RESP? I thought about OSAP issues, hopefully it works out.

[a1cd]

I know a LOT of people who transferred into CTY, one of them dropped withing the first week of ECT and he had to write a letter to OSAP afterwards explaing why he dropped.


But really make sure this is what you want to do, do some research and not just reading forum posts here :P

im so excited! :D

but actually, when you log into ACS and you click "Downloads" , clicks the MSDN link and scroll down to the bottom. Vista Business ISO is under "DVD Downloads. Please use Firefox or Netscape to download the bigger files. " section now along with other various vista software.

to name a few:

2.49 GB Windows Vista Business (32 bit)
3.01 GB Windows Server 2008 (X64 and X86)
5.96 GB (Dual Layer) Windows Vista Business with Service Pack 1 (x86 and X64) , Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Update (DVD-5 ISO) (Multilanguage)

...etc, etc

But yeah when i got my vista business copy i had to go to the ACS office and give them a blank dvd

ACS themselves said September. I have the email to back it up. I also have another colleague who says the same. You sure your teacher was right?

[onecelledbrain]

Anyone know the website to book the ICA pretests?
ALSO,
I'm getting raped by these essay assessment test things that review your proficiency in English. I took one of these at the skills assessment and didn't finish, took another one today at EAC149 and ALSO didn't finish. I have really bad timed test anxieties :cry: So I'm going to have to take/pay for a non-credit qualifying course in order to move to the credited EAC150 course. So my question is, can I drop English this semester and take it next semester because in the 2nd semester I have a General Education Option slot which I am assuming is an open slot for any course?

Either way you have to take 149, and then 150. Cant avoid it now.

And in 150 your entire mark is pretty much bassed on in class essays. You will have 2 in class papers which you will have to write for a mark and the exam will be the same thing... so you better work on that problem.

Right now your not paying for a extra class so dropping 149 is pointless. Next semester you would pay the same amount.

Really? I see. Well, hopefully he's not. lol
He meant it would be at least a year until 7 was installed on the computers at school, ACS doesnt care about bugs of the version they post online. But they just got all the computers up to Vista.. Its a lot of work and they are not going to upgrade to 7 for a long time.

You can't substitute 149 for your Gen Ed...that's a separate course.

If you decide to drop your 149 this semester you would need to take it next sem, and it'll set you back on your studies.

Whats the advantage of EAC150 over EAC149? Do EAC149 students take that course in there first semester, then are forced to take EAC150 the next sem?

Also how significant is EAC150 compared to a first year york (lower tier) English credit? Is it roughly the same or more?

You take 149 if you don't have a satisfactory mark on the English Assessment test. To be honest, they're the same. All you do is read a text book full of stories, prof gives you a topic, then you write an essay about the topic. You might go back into basics in 149 (indep/dependent clause, run-ons, etc), but everything else is the same.

Just think grade 12 university English...and I can even say that was harder. If you're good with writing,organizing and structuring your essay, there shouldn't be any problem with 149 and 150.

Do EAC149 students take that course in there first semester, then are forced to take EAC150 the next sem?

Yes, and you're not really "forced" to take 150 since it's a requirement to everyone.

IF you have Mahadeva in any of these 2 classes start looking for another class (I forgot her 1st name).

[Joker12]

IF you have Mahadeva in any of these 2 classes start looking for another class (I forgot her 1st name).

Lol this prof is still teaching 149? I took her 4 years ago when I was in EAC149.

She isn't a bad prof but she treats her students like kindergarden kids.

The only perk of EAC149 is that there is no GPA when you successfully complete the course. There is only a Pass or Fail. So if you hand in all your work then you're pretty much guaranteed a pass

[onecelledbrain]

Either way you have to take 149, and then 150....

You can't substitute 149 for your Gen Ed....

Thanks guys. I was expecting something like that, I'll just have to bite the bullet on this.

Dude what was it like. I got mine on the 16th.

[houng]

It's a little hard to explain.. you're not using the actual programs, you're using that SIMnet program to do the test. It wasn't too bad in terms of difficulty, but to pass, you'll need to have pretty good knowledge of the programs + Vista. Vista was pretty basic and easy stuff, I don't even have Vista (I use a Mac), and I got 90% on it.

But it was a little annoying because once you click something, they'll assume that's your answer, and you only get 3 tries per question.

I got 90% on Vista and Word, 85% on Powerpoint, and 70% on Excel...

[Computer500]

Dude what was it like. I got mine on the 16th.

You are a lucky man.

Tons of people are refreshing everyday to find an open spot to write the pre-test.

Nobody knows ??:cry::cry::cry:

You were supposed to do the English and Math assessment last month. You did your test last Thursday and it takes two days (48 hours) as you mentioned. So, Friday and Monday. You should see it either today or tomorrow. They are not robots to mark your essay that fast because they have hundreds of paper to look through.

So, if you don't see it on your timetable (SIRUS) within these few days. You give them a call and see what's going on. This is the only advice.

[winn84]

@Computer500: Thanks for your advice .

Do they sell TTC passes anywhere at Seneca?

[a1cd]

The discounted passes are sold at "The Booth" its in the same corridor as the bookstore/one card office. Just a bit before the one card office.

However September passes are sold out probably, but for October they go on sale near the end of September.

If you just want the pass w/o the discount go to york lanes and there is a few stores that sell them AFAIK

[willyxjai]

Yes they do its located at the SeneCentre which is located in building E. October's pass should be coming in two weeks.

[cookie15]

i went to the pretest and it was pretty hard, i finished powerpoint with 85 tho.

The test wasn't that hard. However, I don't like the interface they use to test students.

There's usually more than 1 way of performing the same task in any type of program, however, the interface only lets you do it their way. Any other way is considered wrong. Worst thing is that you don't even know it is wrong so there's no way of gauging how you did in the questions.

I also passed powerpoint with a 95, failed word (70) and excel (80) and didn't do access (I had no background so I didn't even bother). There was 1 question in each section which for sure I did not know the answer. So I question the interface's needed answer and it's grading. There's no use arguing but it's just so silly I don't understand why they would use this.

[meadowvaleSauga]

How hard are those ICA Powerpoint, Word, and Excel tests, which ones should I study hard for?

[a1cd]

If you can pass at least 2 your saving 40 bucks. When I took them I passed vista got 70 on word and power point and didn't even try excel after the 2nd question because I knew I would get most wrong.

Word IMO is easier, just look at some of the finer less used options like Format Painter..

[houng]

Excel was hard for me... otherwise I found the other 3 pretty easy, especially Vista. I got 90% on that even though I own a Mac.

[wayt]

i didn't have to do the vista part because i had IOS, you have to make sure you know how to do it without right click, because it is disabled for some of them

[meadowvaleSauga]

Generally, what tasks did they make you do for each of the major 3? (Excel, Power, Word)

[Akraz]

Spoke to someone at ACS office. Win 7 will be released sometime in October.

2 weeks ago I forgot my jacket either in T4048 or the Open Lab in the Tel building. The jacket wasn't anything special, but I had my 8GB Samsung P2 mp3 player in it. It's all scratched up, has a damaged screen, only plays music out of one side, and uses a proprietary cable for charging/transferring songs. Basically, it's useless for anyone but me.

Yes. It is very hands-on, and less math. It's pretty boring at first, because they have to teach you from the very beginning (since it is an introduction to C language course). But it will get really interesting (well for me, atleast) once you get into functions.

My friend also lives in Mississauga and it takes her 1.5 - 2 hours going to and another going back home. she takes the GO train and to union, subway to Finch then 39

Civil engineering technology at Newnham campus. Damn got to wake up early.

I take the Go Bus/Train usually to Union. Finch is the last stop too. >:( Sigh.

Oh well.

[Havok22]

if youre going from square one then you can take the GO bus from there to finch GO and then take the 39 from there....hour fifteen to hour and a half usually

Thanks :razz:

One more question:

One of my courses is ICA001. I read the description of the course and it does not seem to have an evaluation to it? Is it sort of like a pass/fail mandatory course type?

Can someone fill me in on this.

Its a mandatory course where you they test you on word,access,excel,power point and windows i believe. You must get a minimum of 70% percent on the test in order to pass.

Any good (meaning easy) gen eds at Seneca? My first year gen (3 - 1000 wd essays and a test) is taking wayyyyy too much of my time I need for my other courses. Help?

Your best bet is to take Word + Powerpoint pretests first. You'll have a higher chance of passing those than access or excel. ICA is basically a moneytrap, as they make it impossible to pass all of the pretests (we had ~30 minutes for 40 questions and that's not including the time the monitor explained the exam)

Then you should probably avoid myths and legends...
Go take CAN275 - Social and Political Issues in Canada, CAN473 - Television something.......?, CUL502 - Popular Culture and Media

Well, you're bound to write something for all the classes...

[Havok22]

A quick question to whomever can provide an answer to it:


Are the sporting facilities open to the college students or just the members of the actual sporting teams?

For example: Is the Seneca Ice Rink only to be used by the Seneca Ice hockey team and no one else?

Or is it open for anyone on the campus to go and skate for a bit if they like?

I'm taking EAC 268 (Gothic Horror Stories) as my Eng Lit Gen-ed. Pretty interesting.

Are the sporting facilities open to the college students or just the members of the actual sporting teams?

as long as they're open for other people's use.

if they didn't allow non-athlete's to use the damn rink I'd leave the school. our money goes into maintaining that thing.

Has anyone gotten a ticket from the Seneca parking lot and fought it @ court?

I was so pissed last Friday to find one on my windshield. Somehow the ticket fell from the dash to my pedals the afternoon I got my books from my car, and sure enough some parking enforcer checked my car and didnt see any stub on my dash.

Hey guys,


I just wanted to get some insight on this placement test for first years? I am starting in January and I have my placement test booked for November 3. Is this a test I need to study for?

Overall how was it for you? Was it an easy placement. I know its something that I should not be fretting about but extra information would not hurt the least bit.

you cant study, if youre talking about the assessment test, all you do is write an essay.

If i remember correctly they give you topic to choose from and you write a 5 paragraph essay.

I believe my topic was something on gambling in canada and opening up new casinos in toronto..

hey Jenny,

What's your background in the Pharmaceutical field?

I took Pharmacy Technician @ Humber 2 years ago which I haven't used for anything. What a waste I know, but I got very frustrated when I was trying to look for a job...reason why I'm in Seneca right now (and I can finally see doing what I'm studying for right now).

[zoltron30]

i recently passed my CCNA (640-802) certification after a year of studying. i was thinking of writing a challenge exam for CIS701, advanced cisco training. i'm a part time student and I've already passed Advance Data Communications and WIN310. i also have my MCSA 2003.

is the course very difficult?

[ally12]

hello after much considration i have decided to finish the semester in my program and not return the 2nd semester how do I withdraw from the program is there a letter in writing need to hand in. or i just go about not paying my fees and not attend

thanks

For what program? I know that several computer tutors (including me) are going to for co-op so there will be openings, also some high level chem/bio classes have no tutors. AFAIK they dont hire students as English tutors at S@Y

For an application go to http://www.senecac.on.ca/counselling/learningcentres/tutor-job.html

and give it in.

You may want to give you application closer to the end of the semester..
If you have any questions you can PM me

(BTW you are looking at around 10 hours a week which honestly is not great)

I'm in CTY.

...And I actually meant the library/computing commons. I had my thoughts all messed up when I was writing this. lol
But I guess I could give the tutoring a try too.

I'm assuming the library/computing commons is much harder to get into?

The people who work in the library are part of the Help Desk staff I think, and that is a CO-OP job.

[Koharu]

And in order to work in the library (not the Help Desk) you need to be qualified for the work-study program, meaning a registered Seneca student and be on OSAP. This is for a shelving position.

strike imminent?!?!

dear seneca student:

You will probably have heard by now that contract negotiations with the union representing the faculty at all of ontario’s 24 publicly funded colleges, including seneca, broke off last week.

Let me say first that we are first and foremost committed to making sure that your school year is completed. There is no reason we cannot achieve a negotiated settlement.

However, we have been bargaining with opseu, the faculty union, for more than five months with no settlement in sight. As a result, we decided we did not want to continue to have uncertainty hanging over the students, the faculty and the entire college.

The colleges have implemented improved terms and conditions for our faculty members based on our final offer before talks broke off. We will increase salaries by approximately eight percent over four years for faculty.

At a time when you are reading stories about difficult labour relations situations, it is important to stress that we are not increasing the workload that can be assigned to faculty, and we are not asking for concessions from our faculty. In fact, we are introducing improvements, such as the salary increase.

We have to recognize the reality that the province has a large deficit this year, and is projecting deficits for several more years. Organizations that are funded by government in whole or in part will face serious financial constraints. The union wants an increase in the maximum salary of 13 per cent over three years. That’s simply unaffordable, and is out of line with recent public sector settlements.

We will be working hard to minimize any impact on you, and for now it should be business-as-usual at the college.

Yo anyone else go to Seneca newnham? Looking for carpool/rideshare from RiverdaleCI to school mon-fri, ttc is sooo slowww

[1337rice]

strike imminent?!?!

yes, it's true.

My accounting prof told me that in about 3-4 days, they might receive a memo from the union regarding about this. He says that a strike is unlikely.
He also said that the whole problem lies with the government on how they were giving 3-4% raise on university professors and high school teachers while college professors get only 1.75% raise because of a government deficit and they just had to cut the money off somewhere.

But dayum...right before the final exams?

Yeah, hopefully we'll be able to finish our exams before any sort of strike happens, if it does.

If this strike does happen, it'll be the third strike I've been through since I started post-secondary in 2005. I've already went through 2 strikes at York already...

[sickcars]

The strike will happen and it will happen next semester. They want a strike even if they say they dont. Its all a big show & dance. I was told about this strike at the beginning of this year feb/march time & it would probably happen.

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

Do you go up the yonge line up to finch or do you take the looong

25 bus, haven't tried the subway way yet, looks longer cause of the U shape it forms.

How about you?

[willyxjai]

25 bus, haven't tried the subway way yet, looks longer cause of the U shape it forms.

How about you?

I took that route in my first semester because it looks shorter compared to the U shape, but if you think about all the stop the buses make plus traffic lights its not. It takes me just about a hour to get up there compared to the 25 bus.

wait what? the 25 bus takes like 45 mins from pape to finch
so the subway takes about 1h? to Don Mills station?
so the bus is faster then? no?

[mgronqui]

Where can I see a doctor at S@Y or nearby? I need a damn doctor's note.

[rickyw]

hey, im in seneca's 3 year cty program 1st semester....i was wondering if the third year is worth attending?
im thinking of just doing the cns program (2 years) instead.
it seems as if 3rd year is just learning cisco material but i can learn that on my own by self studying. you also get to choose a bunch of professional options which im not sure will benefit me. and you also get the co-op option but if i can find a placement on my own without the help of school then i'd rather do it that way. the school doesnt guarantee a placement and you dont get a refund if you dont find a employer.

any suggestions of what i should do? thanks.

[willyxjai]

wait what? the 25 bus takes like 45 mins from pape to finch
so the subway takes about 1h? to Don Mills station?
so the bus is faster then? no?

In comparison in both route, i say subway is always faster since it doesn't have to merge with the morning traffic and traffic lights. What program are you taking?

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

In comparison in both route, i say subway is always faster since it doesn't have to merge with the morning traffic and traffic lights. What program are you taking?

Yeah yo, but too much transferring with the subway.
Bus is just straight up and it takes like 45 mins~ from pape so its fast cause when i take the bus there are like 3 25 busses all together so I get a seat and it skips stops!

I am taking BIN. you?

also will post ride needed next semester when I get my timetable up!

This Wednesday SIRIS opens 9am!

[nsX-]

yeah its the ninth inning , but unfortunately for my program we have tests worth 20% all through out next week , and then finals worth 30-35%.i see no point in testing us on the 2nd half literally a week before finals, only to have us take a final exam a few days later.... i really dont get it and personally displeased about the whole situation.

wow...my 4th semester timetable is messed >.>

[DLFB]

this day was a royal pain in the "butt" relating to the time table situation...

how the F does someone get a seat paying partial tuition fee when I paid full+$50 late fee and I don't get seats in my classes?

look, I may sound bitter here, but I think it's very unfair. I'm not asking Seneca to kick out these students, but there has to be a way of opening/giving equal opportunities to those people who paid in full. I'm aware of the financial burdens of a student myself, but you can't just take someone's money w/o guaranteeing their seats.

I only have 1 confirmed class out of the 5 I'm supposed to take. 4 of them are my professional courses+CAP class. Looks like 4th semester is off to a horrible start.

My awesome courses: SSC100 and ICA001

[highvelocity]

Anyone know if the Seneca@York building is open after exam week is over?




My awesome courses: SSC100 and ICA001

These courses are not terrible, just boring. For ICA do the pre-test in the first two weeks of classes.. if you can knock one or more of the modules off you'll save some money and time.
For SSC just come to class, do the in-class work and you can sail through it. No real studying/learning required. It's a bs course but easy.
No final exams for either of the courses so you'll be wrapped up at least a week ahead of exam time.

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

$107? I thought post-secondary students got a deal with TTC for $99.
:cry:

The TTC voted last week to raise the cost of a ride on the Red Rocket by 25 cents for tokens and cash fares, and monthly adult Metropasses to $121 from $109. At the same time, the high-school student and senior Metropasses, which will cost $99 as of Jan. 3, are extended to post-secondary students.
