  • Basically high school accounting, if you did well in hs you will be fine here. Just don't forget to do the weekly assignments

  • Do the homework and assignments and you won't have to go to lecture. Practice is all that matters for this course. Exams + midterm were curved heavy, and if you're DD you're taking it 2nd year which makes it easier. Content is useful for basic things, but you'd probably rather hire an accountant anyways.

Looking for an interesting elective 0 points, 7 comments

“going in 3A ECE next term, struggling to find an elective that I like. Why can't there be a single art course that teaches practical drawing or crafting... sad halp. me.”

u/mujura: “Have you tried looking into some laurier courses? You can cross enroll no problem.”

u/mujura: “… Courses you can take without signing the form are but not limiting to: ECON 120W, ECON 140W, BUS 111W, BUS 127W, BUS 121W and probably more.”
