<p>BUS 101 at Ivy Tech is intro to business; it is not an accounting class. IU would accept it as a replacement for IU’s BUS X100.

<p>So what you mean transfers need to take BUS A-100 also?</p>
<p>Yes, even transfers who have completed A201 and A202 at another school (and get credit for those classes) must still take A 100 at IU.</p>
<p>Kelley used to accept credit for A201 if you took both the financial and managerial intro classes (six credits total) at Ivy Tech and received an “A” for both classes. But within the last two years they changed it so that these classes will not substitute for A201 at all. Now you just get undistributed business credit for these two classes; so they do not transfer for any specific Kelley classes. A100, like maxellis says, is an Icore prerequisite for everybody.</p>

<p>How is the IUPUI A-100’s class compared to IUB’s one? I mean is it easier and less stressful?</p>
<p>A100 at IUPUI is much easier. At IU, they cover financial acct the first four weeks, and managerial acct the second four weeks. My son took A100 at IUPUI in the summer before starting at Bloomington and they did not cover managerial accounting at all. The class met only once a week for six weeks. In the fall and spring, it meets once a week for twelve weeks. He was a direct admit at IUB. I don’t know how they would look at it if you took A100 at IUPUI and then applied to IUB Kelley.</p>
<p>I understand that the Kelley School requires all transfers to spend at least one semester at IUB before applying to them.</p>
<p>So I assume that transfers need to take A-100 during their first semester before applying to the Kelley School right?</p>
<p>You don’t have to take A-100 before applying according to the admissions page. A100 is an I-Core prerequisite, but not necessary to apply to Kelley.</p>

<p>But I could take it right?</p>
<p>Guess what everyone?? I dropped M118 officially today. I guess seeing that big ugly W on my transcript is a lot better than what it probably would have ended up being a C, D, or an F. I kind of hate myself for being in the majority of kids who don’t stick it through, but what can I say… they really do all they can to make this class as irritating and unclear as possible.</p>
<p>Leila, you are a direct admit, right? So it is not a big deal that you dropped it. Not having to take finite at IUB is one of the biggest benefits of being a direct admit. I don’t know why even non-direct admits ever take it, as you only need either finite or calculus your freshman year to apply to Kelley. Finite is the only class my son has dropped; he took it at cc in the summer after dropping. He got and A in calculus with Gerhardt in M119 and an A+ in the E370 equivalent class at IUPUI this summer, though, so not being able to decipher the material in this weird class does not mean much as far as your math abilities go. Some kids come from halfway across the country and pay OOS fees to try to get into Kelley regular admission, get a bad grade in finite, and they are practically finished as far as getting accepted, as there just are not very many slots available with all the direct admits Kelley has the last few years. A big waste of money and time just because of one quirky class.</p>
<p>Has the teacher posted the practice problems yet? If yes, are they the EXCEL files posted in the Calendar section inside OnCourse?</p>
<p>Yeah, there’s every midterm from the past 4 years on the Oncourse calendar. Plus a problem that is due Wed/Thurs.</p>
<p>Just took the midterm today… I did all the practice tests given from previous years and this was definitely the hardest one. I feel like this class gets harder every year.</p>
<p>I thought the midterm was very fair. Doing the practice tests (a lot of them and spread out) definitely is a must if you want to succeed on the exam. When I started taking the practice tests about 10 days ago, (she doesn’t give them to you until then) I was missing about 12 out of the 34 problems. But you start to realize what things are tripping you up consistently-like for me it was forgetting to make the interest a loan an operating cash outflow-and you do much better. </p>
<p>I took two old midterms the day of the exam and only missed one question on each. One of the questions I had missed earlier in the day had the same “trick” as a question on the actual exam, so I was able to catch it that time.</p>
<p>Yeah I did almost all of the practice exams and found out most of the “trick” questions. I got sick in the beginning week of school and had a hard time doing a few of the readings so the first 14-17 questions regarding the readings were sort of hard for me. I checked my grade today and I ended up getting a 91% thank god. We had a 5% curve on this midterm this year.</p>
<p>I got a 73% and now I’m trying to decide if I should Withdrawal or not.</p>
<p>Transfer0- I had planned on dropping if I ended up getting a C- or lower since I’m actually non-direct admit. After reading professor Winston’s email,</p>
<p>“If you will be applying to Kelley, the Undergraduate Office would like to see a grade of B or above the first time you take A100. However, they have said that if, after the midterm exam you feel that you can end the course with at least a C, you should remain in the course. They would rather see a C in A100 the first time through than a W and then a much higher grade later.”</p>
<p>I would strongly suggest staying in class and trying your best to pull off a B since it’s absolutely do-able. I’m not the brightest student and had a 3.4 gpa in high school and ended up with an A- on the midterm. (I did some studying for 5 days straight with about 4-5 hours a day before the exam)</p>
<p>I think if you really try the next four weeks and get an A on the next exam, you can maybe get a B+ since we also have that one homework assignment, quiz ,and participation to help out our grade. It really just comes down to how much you care about the class.</p>
