BIRD Courses @ UTSG Campus

Hello, i'm entering my 3rd year of Industrial Engineering at UofT SG and I have a choice of one elective to take in the spring term. I've been looking at courses and have narrowed it down to CLA201 or CLA204. I was wondering if anyone has taken these courses and can comment on their work load / difficulty. I took GGR252 last year and it was a breeze, i'm looking for something like that again .

Engineering departments are also offering several courses
* APS203H1F—Technology in Society and the Biosphere I
* APS302H1F—Engineering, Society and Biosphere II
* HPS280H1F—History of Science
* HPS281H1S—History of Technology and Engineering Pre-Industrial Revolution.

If any1 can give me some feedback id greatly appreciate it!.

I'd suggest you try CLA204 (Mythology). Having done a Classical Civ. major at SG, I can tell you that it is a lot more fun reading and being tested on classical myths (Heracles, Jason, etc.) than it is learning about Latin and Greek in Scientific Terminology. I took CLA204 three summers ago with a newly-minted PhD (Who is now teaching Classics at York U), so the evaluation scheme will probably differ from what you'll be seeing. Overall--not too hard provided you do the readings.

AST101 and stars and galaxies are both real easy

ENG100: Effective Writing

has anyone heard of or taken the intro music course MUS110H or ARC131H1 (Architecture)?

There is a second year math course which is a breaze if you remotely like math. I think it's called "dynamic programming" or something like that. I don't think the course has any prereqs. It's one very very simple math concept which the course is entirely based on. Each week you just add another tweak to the existing concept. A very slow paced course. When I took it, 5 out of the 12 classes were cancelled, which just restates the fact that there isn't much to the course.

Anyone know how is mgt120 - Financial Acctg I ?
Also, can anyone suggest me some full year or fall courses?

Thanks!

They don't let us engineers take math courses as electives because we've done so much math already, I think.

True, but you can still take mgt120. It just needs to be approved by your connsellor.

-> "Enrolment in MGT120H1 must be approved by your Departmental Counsellor."

What about EAS102, have anyone ever taken that course?
I was forced to take that course because engineers are screwed by ROSI,
We get the leftovers

On the topic of bird courses, does anyone know any easy half credits offered in the fall? Thanks. =)

Damn straight.

Here is a website that might be helpful: http://www.birdcourses.com/

EAS102 is an easy course, esp. if you like the content (and as an EAS Specialist I surely do). I know Guisso pretty well, and he's a great Prof.
