It's kinda sad that you did worse the second time around... cause you should've known of the stuff already beforehand.
If this was an elective, this is even more sad cause you just wasted your time, money, and one of your re-takes, retaking an elective and doing worse in it.
The saddest part is that you retook an elective over a C- which was already a passing grade. You should've fulfilled your WQB requirements and forget about it.
If you're majoring in economics and you failed an intro level economics class the second time around, I don't think economics is cut out for you and you should probably drop out and save yourself the time and money.
These guys are normally a-holes with their sarcastic and unhelpful responses, but I think I would have to agree, although you didnt ask, that if you failed a course and did worse the second time around you're in trouble...
I was referring to a group of generic people, as opposed to just people who posted here-- no names mentioned, who tend to troll around giving unhelpful responses.
That sucks about the grade; as far as I know, though, SFU will take the higher grade of the two. Some unis compute an average grade, and will do this to your transfer credit if you transfer. Keep that in mind.
It is always good idea to know more about a course before you take it. Some students can sell you to a course and tell you that it easy. It happened to me. My friends told me that take philosophy 001 course, you will do fine, it is grade booster... Well, according to them, it was easy but it wasn't for me. I didn't do well in that class and it really ruined my GPA (I got C-). I wana take it again. Besides, I heard a student who took Bio101 3 times. So, don't worry take it again and you will do fine. As stated above, SFU will take the higher grade.

I will get rid of that "friend" if I were you. In SFU, friends don't let friends take Philosophy.

If you are that desperate to finish your last Q credit, then take Chemistry 192 in Fall 09.
why? i heard from my friends that phil 100w is hard as hell in this semester is philosophy particularly hard in sfu?
don't listen to them, it's not particularly hard, it's just that most people suck at it.
and if you want to define hard as "the number of people who suck at it" then literally every course at every university is extremely hard, seeing as at least 50% of people in every course suck at it.
Philosophy isn't hard, you just need to learn the art of bullshitting.
As long as you can string together some bullshit and it sounds confusing and philosophical, then you got a C+ at least in the essay (just like any other essay). The deduction/induction part may be hard for arts students but they should ace the essays.
And I agree that in EVERY course, a large percentage of the people just plain fail at it. And there's ALWAYS this one person in EVERY course that gets 95-100 on EVERY ASSIGNMENT AND EVERY EXAM. I begin to wonder if this person really exists or instructors make up this "perfect" person acing every single thing in the course.
i just got another D in macm. looks like attempt #3 next semester.
Hmm...Maybe I did know what I was talking about for the last several semesters (except this past one, when I was on Co-Op) when I told you you had to work your ass off.
Just consider yourself lucky you had Liu in 101 and not Pearce. You'd still be trying to pass that too if you don't do the work.

If I were you, I would rethink rather Econ is really a subject for me. Maybe Economics is not really the subject for him.
but then again...I got a C in econ 103 because i slacked off too much :sad:

lulz fail :sad:
I may be taking 201 along with 2 other heavy math courses (152 and 232) but I am definitely thinking of delaying macm now
