need an easy course to catch up on and eventually do well in (serious and urgent) 8 points, 16 comments
“Add period has passed but if a course is still open I may be able to get in. I need one last elective and I was wondering which course would be the easiest to catch up on. …”
[deleted]: “As I said before it comes down to tolerance and BMI but Math 336 should keep you afloat till December.”
What is the maximum no. Of units that I can take in a term? 1 point, 3 comments
[deleted]: “depends on your tolerance and BMI really. i guess technically whether you prefer smoking or smashing matters, and if you plan to take Math 336.”
