One major reason I'm moving out is because I want a good relationship with my parents in the long run. But I think, at 22, the longer I stay here, the more difficult it is doing so. I'd say we're a normal family but every little argument automatically makes it hard for me to sleep/focus on schoolwork. Plus, I need to break some habits/attitudes because I think I'm starting to develop some of theirs.

As you can see, I have a reason for moving out, but that's not what I want to tell them. So how do I tell them? "Yo ma, dad, I'm moving out. Peace!"?]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/7598/new-forum-talkvancouver-ca Fri, 13 Aug 2010 16:12:36 +0000 Simon604 7598@/forum/discussions
many of you have been around talksfu long enough to know that it's an ongoing goal of mine for it to be as easy to use as possible. i've tried my best to nurture a supportive and fun environment for everyone to hang out in, without fear of discrimination or prejudice. i'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has used, appreciated, and supported talksfu all these years and enjoyed everything it has to offer. it's all of you that make this place so awesome.

since graduating from sfu in 2008, i've been thinking about starting a new forum that caters to a more diverse audience so i finally came up with talkvancouver.

using what i learned from here, i'm hoping to build a helpful and fun community of people that live, work and play in the lower mainland. i hope you guys will join the new forum and help add some interesting new discussions to the mix. if we work together i think we can make talkvancouver a great community that does a lot of positive things

Whats the percentages required for minimum A-? Im around 80-83 range for all my courses...
Also how is gpa determined? Is it straight up based on your letter grades?
Eg: A+ is a 4.3, A is a 4.0 and A- is a 3.7
Or is it calculated based on the percentage mark for the course?
Meaning gpa = %mark in course * 4.3]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/7632/sfu-people-in-the-news-august-20-2010 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:45:48 +0000 SFU News 7632@/forum/discussions

MATH 157 w/ Stephen Choi
BUEC 232 w/ George Zhang
BUS 237 w/ Kamal Masri
ECON 103 w/ Iryna Dudnyk

Is this term going to be brutal? I mean, I know it probably isn't as intense as most science students doing five classes a term in preparation for med school, or engineering students, but math isn't my strongest subject. I just figured that, if I take these all in the fall, then when October rolls around I can apply for a transfer into Business for Spring 2011 admittance. And if my GPA for some reason doesn't end up being high enough, I can retake a class or two in the Spring and apply for Summer admittance.


Some more stuff now: has anyone taken BUS 207 with Karen Ruckman? I'm probably going to end up doing that in the Spring term, and I've heard from many people that 207 is definitely one of the hardest classes you'll do in Business. Any truth behind this? If I don't need to do any retakes, then I'll probably get 254 over and done with as well.

Also, since it'll take me until the end of the Spring term to reach over 60 credits, what is normally recommended for your first term of UD business courses? I figured that 360W for sure is one, maybe 312 (finance), and 336 (data & decisions 2). What did you end up doing? If it matters, I plan on doing two concentrations, in Marketing and HRM.


Thanks a bunch in advance!]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/7621/pol-101w-vs-bisc-101-which-one-is-easier Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:46:19 +0000 Person 7621@/forum/discussions http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/7623/best-movie-you-ve-seen-lately Sun, 22 Aug 2010 14:53:17 +0000 Simon604 7623@/forum/discussions http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/7620/chem-126 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:52:10 +0000 BSang 7620@/forum/discussions http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/5631/coop-question Tue, 17 Feb 2009 05:34:21 +0000 Agentbob 5631@/forum/discussions
I'm going on a co-op term this summer, and there are very few job postings. From some of the people that I've talked to, this isn't the case (especially during summer) before the economy went down the shitter. I saw tons of postings from EA and they've all been pulled. They had a massive layout recently but I'm hoping that has nothing to do with it.]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/7617/amazing-laptop-tablet-combo Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:27:11 +0000 lazyGUY 7617@/forum/discussions

Thanks guys, if I violated any rules, I'm sorry. If I didn't, please refer people to me for rent =), a little bit about my family, the reason why we prefer female only is because my dad often goes to china long term for business purposes, and I goto the states frequently for my business aswell. So that leaves my mom here by herself, that's why we're looking for decent female tenants who are easy to get along with so my mom doesn't have to stress over the whole thing. Anyways, thanks again.]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/7535/enrolling-in-classes-at-sfu Sat, 10 Jul 2010 22:00:19 +0000 Mango 7535@/forum/discussions
I just got accepted two days ago for behavioural neuroscience program at SFU fall term 2010. I already completed two years of post-secondary education at an university in Ontario, doublemajoring in bio/psych. I know I will sound like a complete noob but I am a bit overwhelemed with SFU's registering system.

1. Is registering for classes done on SIS?
2. When does registering for classes actually begin?
3. Has anyone here transferred from another university? Who did you have to contact for transfer credits?
4. If you are in the behavioural neuroscience program, what is your general thoughts/opinions on the program? I understand that it is a fairly new program offered at SFU...And also, how fast do classes fill up for this program?

On a not-so-academic note, do you recommend living on residence? Or is there better, more affordable housing available elsewhere off-campus in close proximity?

Sorry to bombard you all with these noob-sounding questions, especially this post being my very first! If anyone can answer all, or if not any of the questions, I will be very grateful :)

Thanks again for your time!]]>
