How difficult is Bus-K 201

<p>hello,
so Im going to be attending IU bloomington, and just wanted to hear some opinions about Busk-201. Can anyone tell me how difficult this class is. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>K201 is a time consuming course, but there is a ridiculous amount of help available. There are 21 instructors, 40 TA’s, and 250 peer tutors. At practically any time of the day, one of those instructors is having office hours. There are recap sessions every week to recap what went on in the course, and special sessions a few days before each project is due. </p>

<p>Most people say it’s challenging, but with the resources available, all you have to do is seek out help.</p>

<p>hkem123, thanks for the reply if you dont mind me asking, were the projects group projects, or sole projects, and i was looking at class selection, and for bus-k 201 it says staff as the instructor, can you further deliberate on that. thanks again for the help</p>

<p>The projects are all individual. </p>

<p>I don’t know why they do the staff thing, (probably scheduling flexibility) but you won’t have any way of knowing who your instructor until right before the semester begins. The class is highly regulated, so every instructor uses the same class files, projects, exams, and everything is graded with a computer. Hypothetically, it shouldn’t matter which instructor you have, but of course some are just better at explaining things than others. </p>

<p>Since you have no way of knowing though, I would just recommend not worrying about it.</p>

<p>hkem123, one last question what orientation did you attend when you started, and when you when to orientation did you have any problems getting the classes that you wanted. Thanks again really appreciate the help.</p>

<p>I went the second day and had no problems.</p>

<p>hkem123,when you say the second day, do you mean the second date or group b, because i have the second date, and im worried that i wont get any of the business classes i need, because when i look at the class selection the classes are already starting fill up.</p>

<p>The second day. What business classes are you planning to take that are filling up already?</p>

<p>I wanna take m118, bus-k 201,bus-x 104 or bus-x 204, pretty much alot of the pre icore classes, i tried to get the earliest day but i got june 15th, and first orientation date being june 5th.</p>

<p>You shouldn’t have any problems, I wasn’t able to go until June 30th and still got into M118, K204, A100, and X104 fairly easily.</p>

<p>Well bus-X 204 (now c-204) is probably almost filled up because that class is mostly sophomores. X104 (now c-104) is a prereq, so you will have to take that first anyways. You won’t have a problem getting into any of those courses, and you will have a lot of options for time/professor.</p>

<p>alexmdetweiler, and hkem123, really appreciate the help, Thanks.</p>
