<p>so the labs don't actually count as a main course? kinda just a supplement to the main? therefore, say i take chem 120, the lab that goes with it, and 3 other courses. that would be considered a 4-course load??</p>
<p>yup :) however chem 120 is considered a 4 credit course, the higher credit rating given because of the mandatory lab.</p>
<p>will decouvrons Montreal en francais teach you to speak french relatively fleuntly, assuming that you have a somewhat good foundation in French already? I do want to take some language courses, and in terms of finding jobs later and so forth, I think it would be a good idea to take a french course or two. Are you allowed to take courses required for second year in first year?</p>
<p>It's a level 200 course, and not a grammar course, so no, it won't teach you how to speak fluently. What it will do is kinda tune you in to the french culture and the Quebecois language :) But to become fluent I'd definitely recommend taking some upper level grammar courses as well. </p>
<p>You can take courses for second year in your first year as long as you meet the prerequisites, I believe :)</p>
<p>another question to current students: hehe, do u recommend taking the "normal" course load of 5 class per term? or should i try keeping it at 4?</p>
<p>if you're in science- 4.
anything else take 5.</p>
<p>science core classes i hear are a bit rough.</p>
<p>I have a question.</p>
<p>I'm in Science, and I will have AP credit for 2 semesters in biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, and computer science. What classes should I take first semester, since I will have credit for the core classes?</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in Computer Science and Economics (might try to transfer into b.a. & b.sc. later).</p>
<p>hey'all...do u think med schools care whether u do a faculty or major program? i mean if u do a faculty program, u still get a bachelor of science degree right? i wanna do the faculty program not because i'm lazy and don't feel like taking more courses, i'd just prefer taking more courses in other subjects and actually have a chance at getting a minor in management and pursue other interests. does it show on ur transcript whether u did a faculty or major program?</p>
<p>what's a faculty program? doesn't everyone have to have a major?</p>
<p>for physiology, the faculty program is only 6 credits (2 classes) less than the major program. i think all the programs is a major? but faculty, major, and honors distinguishes the depth of the major? i donno. i'm pretty confused too</p>
<p>i was checking out some of the class schedules and i noticed that most of the required science freshman courses are almost already full! will they be opening up new sections? also, i wanna take POLI 211 but it only has one section and it conflicts with my schedule, so any chances of mcgill opening up another section?</p>
<p>how soon can we start picking our classes? how are they filling up already? I thought class selection or whatever happens after August 2nd.</p>
<p>i know! that's what i thought! but apparently registration opens early for all the other students who are not U0. so somehow, i donno how, there are U1 students registered in our freshman requirements!</p>
<p>lol, that's funny. I don't think you should worry about it. if there's no space and we have to take those courses as requirements, they'll make room. Most people probably haven't even accepted yet, so I wouldn't worry about it just yet. they have to get us all into a class one way or another. I'm pretty sure registration for courses is august 2nd.</p>
<p>the IB people...we can only start picking courses after our results come out in mid july and then they must be processed by mcgill to give us credit (may take a long time)</p>
<p>IB exams start next week! Good luck you guys!</p>
<p>anyone know the difficulty of FRSL 302: Listening comprehension and oral communication 1?? how hard's the placement test and the course itself?</p>
<p>If they say that in first year you have to take a certain amount of electives, can you take some of the required courses from second year in first year instead and just do the electives later or instead of the electives? When do we get to meet with staff advisors (or whatever they're called) to figure out which courses we can and cannot take, and to make sure that the course load isn't too heavy. Which courses are the bird courses (is that what they're called)? Is there a strategic way to take all of your courses throughout the four years? For example, should you try and finish all the core courses first, or always maintain an equal balance between your major requirements and core requirements, etc.? Do you have to take the courses that they require you to take in the year that is specified, or can you finish it whenever you want? Also, if you do an internship and an exchange program, will you be required to stay an extra year? And finally, economics falls under the humanities, so can you get started on the required courses for an economics major in first year and count it as a humanities credit and one of the required credits?</p>
<p>i got the same questions... i hope therz enough flexibility in choosing the programs...</p>
<p>When are the placement tests and how do we know if we should take them?</p>
