Does it matter if I take BUS 445 - Analysis of Data for Management first? (before BUS 347 & 442)
Can anyone give me some advise and recommendation for marketing courses and prof as well?

Thanks~]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/4913/econ-105-cox-vs-marshall Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:44:44 +0000 schmoey 4913@/forum/discussions http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/4957/raving Fri, 07 Nov 2008 05:02:55 +0000 Iran1988 4957@/forum/discussions
What if we gathered up a bunch of us, and went to Solid NYE 08 together? Think of it as a meet up, but... not really.. more like a huge party.


For those who havent been to a rave: it's fun!

Can anyone give me some advise or recommendation for other prof?

Also for BUS 361, how is Kamal Masri compare to Drew Parker or Jan Kietzmann?]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/4961/new-king-of-bhutan Sat, 08 Nov 2008 02:51:18 +0000 JayDub 4961@/forum/discussions
He is currently the youngest reigning monarch. I think he will do good things for Bhutan.

This is a few days old, but I haven't had the time to post it. As the title states, cellular provider Fido has relaunched with a new logo, a new look, and all new rate plans that don't have system access fees. I've reviewed a few of their plans...and they don't seem too spectacular, but you certainly get what you pay for.]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/4960/stumping-for-obama Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:40:50 +0000 SFU News 4960@/forum/discussions

=====
The Health Plan Question (subject to typographical and editorial
edits, and additional whereas clauses) passed at board 28 July 2008:

(Three additional questions on the SFSS Facebook group were passed at
Forum 30 July 2008, an additional Ombudsman By-Law change will likely
also be on the ballot)

Are you in favour of a fee increase of NOT MORE THAN $198 per year for
the purpose of offering both an undergraduate extended health plan and
an undergraduate dental plan (inclusive of an undergraduate
health/dental plan reserve fund and committee, broker fees, premium
taxes, the cost of the plan(s), and a 1% service and handling charge
requested by the University); commencing 1 January 2009?"

What it will cost: Everything above included, about $185 a year! The
$198 offers a ceiling in cases costs go up in the second year.

(This includes a small reserve fund of $5 to the SFSS to help mitigate
administrative costs, 1% tax to the University for collecting the new
fee, and the $178 cost to for the plans)

What it will cost for eight months coverage, starting in January 2009
(full year plans starting 1 September 2009) about $125

Who's covered: all undergraduate students will be automatically
enrolled, students with comparable coverage from work, parents or
spouse will be able to take advantage of online opt-out with proof of
insurance.

Network coverage, the health plan broker has arranged for many

nothing or nothing. A list of providers is available on the
studentcare website.

teeth, etc.) Insured up to 80%, +20% network coverage for full 100%

total annual premium includes all insurer costs, premium tax, and all
studentcare.net/works service fees

Broker(Provider): Studentcare (The fastest growing Student Health Plan
Broker in Canada)
http://www.studentcare.net/

This has the potential of being one of the best SFSS Services since the U-Pass!

***It is important to note that the SFSS Extended Health & Dental Plan
is not carved in stone, rather it can be an organic, evolving service
where the key coverage priorities change as students begin using the
Plan. Plan benefits can and should be improved and adjusted in future
years based on further surveys and actual usage data. By starting with
a moderate-to-high level of coverage, and appropriate cost, the SFSS
is in the best position to respond to he specific needs of its
membership over the medium to long term.

Also, you will be able to "opt-in" your spouse and any dependent
children at the same rate.
