    Thx vonnie.

    Guys.. i think we need to relate back to the topic of this post and stop bashing 20 year old virgins! Lets get real here:

    What I've come down to is the fact that im in serious need of CAREER counselling by someone here from SFU. I have tried contacting the advising department in SIAT without a response. Does anyone have links to some numbers or live chats' or information pages that I can look at?

    You need:

    English 12
    Math 12
    Biology 12 or Chemistry 12 or Physics 12
    History 12 or Geography 12 or some other Social-Science 12 course (I think Law 12 counts if they teach it at your school)

    And ONE Elective 12. Info Tech 12, Electronics 12, or something else. They have a list of what grade 12 electives you can use depending on the faculty you're trying to get into. But seeing as you want to be a IT teacher, I think you're already taking ICTX12 and acing it.

    Teaching High School level IT is pretty easy if you're even a little bit tech savvy. You only need a minimal amount of programming knowledge to give HS students a taste of what programming is like (I'm basing this off my experience in ICTX12). An intro programming class would be far more than enough for you to know to teach HS kids.

    If you want to be a Graphics teacher, probably SIAT or Emily Carr. Might want to try Emily Carr since its specifically an Arts and Design school.

    I'm not surprised that most Art students failed Math 12. Considering many Art students complain about CMPT 165 (arguably the easiest course at SFU), and consider it a "difficult" course, I'm not surprised that they fail at math. Math is hard no doubt, but if they find an easy course like CMPT 165 hard... then they must find Math a daily anal raping.

    Anyways, you need at least 70% in Math 12 to get in I think. And if its not high enough for you take certain courses, you can take Math 100.

    You might not need Math 12 for Emily Carr since it is specifically arts and design or at least not 70%. At SFU, you need to take a bunch of other courses not related to your major to "diversify" you so they make math course a requirement. Check out Emily Carr.

    On a side note, I taught my IT class in Grade 11 (yes, I taught it lol, because the teacher was too dumb at computers) and got 108% =D

    I don't think most of arts students fail math 12. I didn't..

    Lucky me, I come from a high school where you can't choose the courses you take.. You're required to take all math, history, chemistry, physics, geography, english, and biology in order to graduate..

    Now lucky me I left before we were required to take philosophy and sociology too :omg:

    I remember that you only need a minor in a particular subject area to teach high school stuff. Like one of my eng teachers only had an eng minor.
    I'm a business student - my goal is to make money -lots of it and to take advantage of less capable persons like yourself.
    peter8912 is such a funny guy. I can totally see him being from hk and stuff. As the saying goes "having money won't make you all-powerful, but having no money will make you powerless."

    i thought you could only apply for teaching school if you had a bachelors in something, and only if you went to university (cant apply for teaching school if u only have college edu?)

    Why do you have to try and justify? Your insecurities show how bound you are to a bunch of numbers. Just be. I may seem like a dick but I'm not like this (most of the time) Put my ego to the side and I will tell you that I know that our society would not operate without the contribution from all intellectual perspectives. Nicole: HEY HONEY! HONEY- BUNCHES OF OATS
    You're the one thats trying to justify to us you're on the University honour roll and are in the top 90th percentile, buddy you aren't even worth the time, your logic is awful and not worth my time pointing out the loops in each of your statements.

    Noone will care that you were on the University honour roll, I've never been told by anyone in my professional work place that they were on the honour roll. This is coming from somewhere where everyone has post secondardy degrees.

    Anyway, I'm done, I think we did enough derailing this persons topic. :angel:

    This is the busiest time of the year...give it a week or two, trust me. Advisors go insane during the first few weeks of school. If you want to be a teacher, go take a look on the faculty of educations page within the SFU website, I'm sure youll find some useful information there.

    :/ i just found that the SIAT transfer requirements ( iwould be a transfer) are 24 credits or someting in selected courses.

    does that mean i dont need bio 12?
  • edited September 2008
    You can answer your question by:

    A) What are the required 24 credits of courses
    B) What are the admission requirements to the college you want to apply to

    I don't see why bio / chem / phys would be required for a design and computer program...

    Is there any reason you always make sarcastic asshole comments?

    Instead of making useless assinine comments, try contributing something useful, like:

    They make you take a science course, not necessarily bio, phys or chem. Even then, with some programs like SIAT the requirements are different from traditional four year programs
