Transfering from Cap to SFU

Claire — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:04:39 +0000

I'm a student at Capilano and wanna transfer to Simon Fraser this upcoming fall.

I have a couple of questions regarding this and I appreciate it if anybody could help:

1- What is the minimum GPA required to transfer to Kinesiology at SFU?
2- What is the minimum GPA required to transfer to Psychology at SFU?
3- Can I submit my grades in July? Is there a deadline for submission of transcripts or can I send in grades any time before September for admission for the fall term?

THANKS

Warning: CMPT 165

YOUSUCK — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:40:54 +0000

CMPT 165 is a dangerous/high risk course. Many choose to take it thinking it's a GPA booster (Course name is Intro to World Wide Web).
Extremely difficult exams + whole class is practically 3rd or 4th year students = fail

Taking it online is worse.

I was lucky and got a B+ in that course
but my friends who took it weren't so lucky...

unless you learn super fast or have some sort of experience with programming, you're going to have to study a lot for the midterms & finals (averages are around 50%, final is worth 50%)

The final is worth 50% and many don't even understand half the stuff (python, etc). The content isn't exactly difficult, but the questions are ridiculous.

Just warning those who are taking or considering taking the course, be prepared for easy assignments and exercises, and then exams that are just retarded.

UPass has not arrived yet

FlatTax — Thu, 13 May 2010 13:48:24 +0000

I haven't got my uPass in the mail yet. Can I get it printed off at SFU? Which office do I have to go to?

need input on CHEM 215, CHEM 360, MBB 321

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering about the workload for each of these classes. Paul Li teaches CHEM 215 analytical chem, Joshua Wilkie teaches CHEM 360 thermodynamics and Ingrid Northwood teaches MBB 321 metabolism. Is is true that Northwood is notoroiously unfair in toughness and marking as well?

Thanks in advance
