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.

Oh. Our education systems are very different. Does anyone else just want to tell school to go to hell!? I DO!

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.

yeah all of my classes are 3-4 credit hours. depends on how long you're in the class each week. 120 credit hours gets me my international studies degree.

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 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.
