I seem to remember hearing something about not recieving that newspaper that lists all the classes anymore. Anyone know if we still do? I used to love flipping through that thing trying to figure out what classes to take :(

    really?!
    i doubt they would do that.. they've been sending those newspapers for years and years.. if they were to change it, im sure we would know it by now

    in the course enrollment email, it doesn't mention it, though it does say somethin about downloading the new course schedule pdf, which leads to a dead link atm

    They're not sending out the newspapers anymore.

    I'm not too happy about that. I used to do all my course planning on the bus on my way to school.

    Even if they aren't mailing them out, perhaps we are still able to get them from the school?

    Or did they stop making them all together?

    I agree that it was nice to be able to highlight a few and be able to look at ALL the courses without doing a specific internet search...

    just got this in my email

    ** Enrollment for Summer term **
    Beginning in Summer 2007, to save paper and postage we will no longer be
    printing and mailing the schedule of classes and exams to all
    undergraduates. You will find everything you need to know for enrollment on
    the Student Services website where you can download a PDF of the current
    schedule. See
    http://students.sfu.ca/enrollment

    Looks there is a PDF version of the class schedules... but it's not a recent version. AND the link is broken. Weird.

    I bet a lot of people will be printing the pdf out (and im sure its pretty big) so its not really going to save paper... it will save them money from printing it though

    I don't think they're concerned with saving paper... probably just postage and time.

    Meh, even if it wasn't their intention it should save a few trees so I'm fine with it, so long as the site is properly updated.

    Wow, really? Because, personally, I used the motion of the ocean and the position of the stars in the sky.

    We all used the paper, duh. But it's hardly that big a deal to use your computer now instead is, you're all ready using the damn thing to post on this board.

    Actually, no. I mostly used the website to find my courses, and I was only flipping through the paper when I had to find a substitute for one that was full or wasn't available. I can make-do without the paper pretty easily...

    And at least go.SFU has been updated so it looks nicer now!
