well, at u of t, all of our classes are worth 1 credit for a class that runs from september to april. and half a credit for classes that run from september-december or january-april. well, except if you take one of those research with a professor dealy classes. those are worth 4.

I don't. I like school.

And my school runs the same as U of T.... 0.5 credits per semester per class.

So I take it that you guys don't need 125-ish credits to get a bachelor's degree?

nope... 20.
4 years of 5 credits for an honours degree. General degrees are 3 years of 5 credits, so 15. It's pretty simple actually. As Lori explained, half year courses are worth .5 credits and full year courses are worth 1 credit. Doesn't matter how many hours you attend or any of that stuff.

yea, you need 20 credits for a honours degree at u of t. not all schools in canada are like that though. i have friends that go to york and their full year classes are worth 6 credits and i think they need 96 credits or so to graduate.

I've always wondered about the difference between regular degrees and honours degrees. If I go to the grad school I want to go to, I can get an MBA in a year if I've graduated with an equivalent to an honours degree. Since my undergrad degree is four years... it should work out.

I have to e-mail some people about this.

hey, if you want an explanation, ask your school.

Some schools in Canada are different. My girlfriend goes to Ryerson where she has to take 7 courses per year in order to get her diploma in Radio and Television Arts. Their school is almost a college only in the sense that they get tons of hands-on work, but it's considered a university because they study theory and such.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

:/

I just switched my Calculus course so that its in the night time for 1h 45m insted of during the day. I don't know if that was wise or not, but my schedual didn't have any breaks in it, and I have already done calc so I think it'll be alright.

Hey, its better then the 8am classes.

I'm basically a marketing major. I like it because things have to be creative and structured at the same time.

Marketing is one of those degrees you can use for almost any job.
