I thought the economics course (101) is a requirement course for first year student
@@selinaliu1106 Yes Economics is a requirement course for Rotman students and Economics students, however other students can also take economics as their electives! So it wouldn't be a requirement course for those students
Can you elaborate more on Human Resource management course? I’m planning to join there in 2023
best prof is Gazzale for Eco101
also CLA204 is a great second year bird course, helps with the 6.0 first year credit limit too
Freshman killer:
MAT137/MAT157: The first course I felt despair, getting really crazy on the 137. 157 is only for math genius.
ECO101 (Gazzale class): I AM BACK, YOU SHALL NOT PASS
LIN100(disputable, online): Became extremely horrible when it is online.
CSC148/CSC165: Even for the programming background students, it is a challenge. Also a lot of pros suffered from it(Most of them select MAT137 to enter the program)
I am an IB student and planning to major in Econ. But now I am doubting my choice !
I find it interesting that you mentioned eco101. I honestly barely studied and ended up with a B-. MAT137 on the other hand was a nightmare
Oh my gosh 😂 I was in Eco101 last semester, I was in professor Ho’s section and I still have PTSD from the course. How has Eco102 been for you? Because I found it wayyyyy better than 101.
I agree and I thought ECO 102 was tough but I think it was better than ECO 101👍👍
The easiest course I ever took was definitely CSC104, it kinds of boring at the same time, but you don't need to spend a lot of time reviewing.
Thank you for this valuable information👍👍!!
I got a 64 in Ho's class years ago, which is a C which was the class average. I'm technically halfway through an economics minor as I also took mat133 but I've long decided to not continue that. My parents made me take those and it was torture!
I'm taking AP microeconomics and there's no way in hell I'm gonna take ECO101 after what I've heard, unless it's required :0
Michael Ho lol. Tons of friend got busted down on that course by Michael Ho. I took Pesando’s Class , and it was still extremely difficult for someone who scored 5 on ap micro. Legit burnt out on one course. Richard, Good luck with finals coming up!
Yes it was a very challenging course indeed, thank you and good luck to you as well with the finals👍👍
Would you recommend doing Political science and Economics as a double major?
Omg good luck with that!!
I want to get into medicine course
Maybe this is obvious but... don't take Kant (PHL314) unless you're really into philosophy!
I am a first-year student this year and I plan to take ECO101 and ECO102 in my second year. Can you give me the names of some books that you recommend to read to be better prepared for these tough courses? Thank you
Great question, I would highly encourage you to read news about economy & business and Econ textbooks. These will help you a lot. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish you the best of luck in your future!
HPS120 boring asf but 1 midterm, 1 essay, 1 mini project. The midterm was also online, highly recommend!
How is the User Experience Design (UXD) course in MI in University of Toronto?
Since I am a business school student I haven't heard much about design courses at uoft. However I am sure design courses are great just like any other courses at uoft. I am sorry that my answer wasn't clear, so I would suggest that you contact the university about this as well. If you have any further questions please let me know and I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Does rotman commerce set up all the time tables for freshman?? I’ve heard that they have their own requirement courses
This is a very good question, so yes Rotman commerce has this program called "First year learning community" and its basically like a club/group in Rotman commerce that groups 20ish students together into one time table. You are also require to attend bi-weekly meetings they hold and they give you tips about Rotman commerce (they also give you snacks). By all means this is not mandatory, and some people really like this program and some people don't. I personally was part of First year learning community and I think the overall experience was positive. For your second question, yes we do have our own requirement courses. MAT 133, ECO 101, ECO 102 and RSM 100 are all required courses and you need to get a minimum of 63% in these courses to get into second year (There are more information about this on Rotman commerce website). Not only we have required courses we also have recommended courses. RSM 230, RSM 250 and RSM 219, these are not required but most students take it anyways in their first year. I hope I was able to answer your question and if you have any further questions please let me know! I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
I was Interested in the Industrial Relations and Human Resources program, but in order to get acceptance I would first need to take eco101 in my first year of uni and math is certainly not my strong suit so I guess I have to find another path 😞
No! please don't be discouraged after watching this video. Please keep pursuing what you really want to study because that will be really rewarding even if it's hard. So good luck and keep studying hard👍👍!
Richard Han okay, thank you, I still don’t think it’s realistic but I’m only entering grade 11 so I have a lot of time to determine what I want to do still 👍
Hey Richard! I’ll be joining U of T this fall hoping to study art history and german and your videos have helped me a lot. Was wondering, is it possible to talk to the college registrar for advice on first year course selection before the term starts? Also, do you know of anyone who has been able to graduate in three years or less? Any advice on if it’s doable considering I have three transfer credits already from hs and will choose to take a maximum course load each semester?
Great question, so I know there are academic advisers (They are the ones who can help you with all the academic problems) at UofT but I am not too sure if you can contact them through your college registrar. However I suggest that you still contact the registrar because they will know who you can talk to for you to reach the academic advisers. I heard of some people graduating early with transfer credits, but to find out how to use your transfer credits well I suggest that you watch my other video "Interviewing the smartest guy at the University of Toronto" (Part #1). I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
@@RichardHan Thank you for your help :)
@J.J. Wang my pleasure👍👍
eco101 is required for the program I want to do. Are there any materials or resources you recommend that could help lighten the difficulty of the course?
Great question, I would recommend you to read news/books on economics and try to read the textbook as well if you can. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish you all the best👍👍!
Hey Richard, great video! Are you able to choose profs? Which prof did you have for eco101? Who would you recommend, easier?
Great question! So yes you can choose your professors for all your classes but classes with good professors tend to fill up quickly. Also some professors are restricted to students that are in certain programs and professors can change the way they teach drastically every year. Which is what happened for me, my professor was known to be less challenging compared to other professors but his class turned out to be the toughest this year. I purposefully didn’t mention any names because in the end it really depends on how the professors want to teach the course in that year. Since the content is pretty hard for eco 101 no matter who you get it will be pretty challenging 😭. I hope I was able to answer your question and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future 👍👍
hey can you please tell about the criminology course at U of T??? i want to take this course but can't find reviews?!! please help if you can
1:02 DAMN!😳 so basically we need to hit dem business books as much as possible and as soon as possible to get a heads up.....*sigh* F#%k!!!
Ps. I appreciate you giving US! a heads up👍🏽, looks like I’ll need to start reading about economics.
LONE WOLF Yes indeed, if you start reading now you will have a much easier time at university !
OMG I just wanna know do u ever attend like any tutorials?? Really scared
Great question, so I attended all my tutorials for my classes. In my opinion tutorials really help a lot and some tutorials have quizzes which counts towards your mark. So make sure to go to these tutorials and don't be so scared. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Can we get scholarships for engineering courses? For international students..
There are many scholarships available for students but I am not sure if there is a scholarship specific for engineering course. For more informations about scholarships visit UofT’s scholarship website (they have a very good website for scholarships). I hope I was able to answer your question and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
First of all, to take engineering courses u have to be an engineering student. There are similar courses to that offered in the engineering department on other departments, but they are not equivalent. So assuming you are going to applied to the engineering school and taking into account you are a girl you should get a decent scholarship (5k per year) with a 3.75 cgpa (applying from hs). I know a person that had a 3.85, wrote really good essays and got 15k a year (she’s also an international student). But anything more than that is almost impossible. It is possible to get a full scholarship but your hs must be recognized by UofT. Every year the recognized HS postulate a candidate and this candidate has to do a separate application. It is only for international students, I think they give 55 Pearson Scholarships per year. My best friend who is currently a freshman studying engineering at UofT got it. But that guy is unbelievable, he had a 4.0 cgpa, the best essays, his interview was amazing and his extracurriculars too. Don’t lose hope tho! Just get the grades first and worry about the rest later!
Can you give your opinion on psychology course for undergrads in uoft?
How can I know whether or not a course is a seminar course( ik this is a dumb question) I’m assuming it says next to the course name that it is?? Also are we required to finish breadth requirements in the first year, what do you recommend for breadth reqs?
Great question (its not dumb at all, I had the exact same question before), so all the seminar courses should be under the category of seminar courses in the academic calendar. If you are unfamiliar with the academic calendar/selecting courses I would highly recommend you to watch my other video "HOW TO CHOOSE COURSES & ELECTIVES | CHOOSING THE RIGHT COURSES AT UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO | U OF T" ( czcams.com/video/77NO-4-cLp4/video.html ). For breadth requirement recommendations, it really depends on the program you are in but I enjoyed psychology (some people find it very challenging so only take psychology if you like it👍👍). I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Is astronomy studied well in u of t ,or is it hard course??
Masters course in psychology, how is it there? Also can we get scholarship for that?
Hello thank you for your question, so since I am studying to get a bachelor's degree I am not quite sure how masters course would look like just yet. So my answer to this question will be very weak and I would like to apologize for that. However for your question asking how UofT is like, I will tell you that it can get very challenging but its also the place where you can learn the most. I don't regret at all for coming to UofT and my experience at the university was very positive so far. If you have any more questions please let me know and I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Hii Richard, great video, I am deciding between going to u of t LifSci psychology and NYU liberal arts in Sept, can you tell me how do the double major system works in u of t? And do choosing these bird courses affect your progress on the second major? Thxxxxxx
Great question, so there are certain number of credits you need in order to get a major/minor in a program. You need to take the appropriate courses they require in the programs you want to major in as well (I am pretty sure you need 8.0 credits to get a major). So I am not too sure if the programs you want to major in will accept the bird courses I talked about but if they do you are good to go. For more information I suggest that you contact the registrar. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Richard Han Yess! Thank u, may I ask which two majors you chose?
@@kikilala8263 Another great question, since I am in Rotman commerce its a little bit different for me. Instead of a major I get a specialist and for now I think I am going a purse a specialist in management.
Richard Han Ah I see, thank you☺️
Hey, I’m a third year in Life Sci (Neuroscience Specialist and a Physiology Major, maybe a Cell and Mol Bio Major or switching to the Physiology Minor...or neither bc I don’t need that much).
To graduate, you need twelve distinct credits toward a Program of Study (PoST). This is usually done with 1 Specialist, 2 Majors, or 1 Major and 2 Minors. You can enroll in up to 3 programs at once. Some programs give you priority in enrolment in certain courses-you might get to enrol first before non-program people can or only people in the program are allowed to enrol.
Some Programs are limited. A Type 1 is open to everyone (and can still give priority enrolment), you can place yourself in the program whenever you want. A Type 2 is Limited, which can mean you need to meet a certain minimum mark in some courses or that only a limited number of people are accepted every year/round of applications, and that’s based on their marks in particular courses. A Type 3 is also limited and includes a special application.
A lot of related programs overlap, making it easier to do them all. Some overlap too much. You can’t double major in human biology programs because of the overlap, but you can specialist-major in them. I can’t do a major in neuroscience plus minors in immunology physiology because they only make 11 distinct credits.
I’d check the recent requirements for Psych. It’s very much it’s own department, especially after first year, and is heavily associated with our psych grad school (and if grad school is your goal, there’s a Research Specialist psych program).
I got accepted into U of T for management (Rotman commerce ). I wanted to know does this programme include a lot of mathematics ? I’m fine with general calculations and maths but I do not like maths much. Guidance would be v helpful
yes it has a lot of math I go to UofT not Rotman tho but i feel like since Rotman is tougher, the course will entail a lot more math and then the pass mark will be higher I believe
Is ECO101 doable if I CR it?
I'm a stats students but would like to know some basic Econ knowledge so considering taking them.
Also, is it doable to pass it or at least understand the contents without prior knowledge on Economics?
I suggest ECO105 if a basic foundation is what you’re after. If you think you wanna study more in-depth, go ahead with ECO101!
Bruhh i was like "Ayy I took IB Econ i should be fine" until u said they ALSO had a hard time.. gg
what did you get in eco101
Haha I will just say that it wasn't a mark that I should be proud of but it wasn't bad as well😂
Hi Richard, Awesome video!
Im a bit confused, could you please tell me if any of the following cources @UofT are a seminar Cource?
1. Ethics, Law & Society - St. George
2. Criminology, law & society - Mississauga
3. Public Law (Co-op & Regular) - Scarborough
Really appreciate your time:)
Thanks a ton dude!
The first one is a one’s course for trinity ones so in order to take it you need to apply for the trinity ones course! (So yes it is a seminar)
@@jeyascott2910 Thanks so much!
@@riddhisahaye1792 no problem! I am going into u of t st George in September for life sci so let me know if u have any questions :)
Hey thank you for the video. When exactly does one start selecting courses and making their timetable ?
Great question, so students will start making their time table after they get accepted to UofT (obviously). Then you will get your University of Toronto ID (we call it UTORid), and you will get a chance to set your password for your account. After that you will be able to access your Acorn account where you will see how much you will have to pay and what courses to choose. Then you will pay some money and the university will allow you to enroll in courses you want to. However these are all done in summer so you won’t have to stress too much right now. I hope I was able to answer your questions and if you have any further questions please let me know. I wish the best of luck to you in the future!
Hi, I have a question. I am currently a grade 10 student with an average of 91%. I want to go to Rotman Commerce program for business courses but I found there were so many courses specifically in business. What course would be most effective to take? I tried to search for marketing but I could not find one on their website. Is there a marketing course? Also, how can I know the required courses to take marketing in the U of T Rotman Commerce program?
The Eco101 ughh
Richard, what easy minors to take?
Ive been thinking a lot about degree in "geophysics" at toronto:( how it is tho??
try taking electrical/computer engineering :)
What courses do I have to take generally for a bachelor of science?
So it really depends on what you want to study in your second year until graduation. However I can tell you some of the popular courses in first year for you. Psychology and Astronomy classes are generally popular and many students find interest in them as well! I hope I was able to answer your question and if you have any further questions please let me know!
@@RichardHan Psychology is definitely popular, I do remember when I did this course in my first year (about to be a third-year), the entire Con Hall was full. But the most interesting thing was after the first midterm, almost 1/3 of them drop the course. I personally don't really recommend this course if you are not interested to get a psychology major.
@@jiaxigui6003 That is a very good point! Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight👍👍
If you have no background in ECO, just don't come to UofT lol
for non eco courses too..?
