My current AP lang teacher used to teach at U Toronto in literature and linguistics. Excellent course is excellent agree.Pochsy wrote:

The department has a strange dynamic to it; there are the professors in the 'in' group who work within the Toronto school of literary criticism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Sc … ion_theory) which are normally of a very very high calibre (although some are extremely strange), and then there are the loners who specialize in something so remote that they have become bitter and hate everybody with a passion and try to cram their opinion down your throat.Cybargs wrote:

Where are you spending next year, anyways? I think the admissions are done for most schools already, no?Winston_Churchill wrote:

our engineers get raped. 9-5 days, with a 1 hour lunch is the standard. There's variation depending on the specialization and course selection of the student, but only by a max of 5 hours per week. They do a shit-tonne of homework too...eleven bravo wrote:

I might be mistaken, but from what Ive been told, for every hour you spend in class you should be spending 2 hours at home on homework.Pochsy wrote:

note: a shit-tonne is more than an ass-load, but slightly less than a fuck-load.
I got accepted back, emailed the head of the registrar directly lol.Pochsy wrote:

Yep, pretty much I was in the second hardest course, there was one that maxed out at 35 some weeks, but went down to 20 or something on some weeks. 9-5 was pretty standard, sometimes it was without lunch too.Pochsy wrote:

They do...well most of them, anyways. Weekends and nights are spent studying and writing assignments. I have 4 friends in engineering, and I'm lucky to see any one of them more than once or twice a semester. It's no way to live.eleven bravo wrote:

So do you start in second year, or are they's bein' bitches?Winston_Churchill wrote:

There is nobody from U of T currently in engineering. I guarantee you won't see Stimey or Winston on here come fall, though.eleven bravo wrote:
Its a little hard for me to buy considering how people like to exaggerate a little. Id buy 25 hours, but even that is too much. whats he doing wasting his time on bf2s?!?!? man, youve gotta get to some homework, pronto!
I dropped it since I hated it so much. Ridiculously difficult, no free time and 99% guys. Not how I want to spend 4 years. I took this year off (which is why I'm active, unlike last year) and am going back next year in a different program.eleven bravo wrote:
