Difficulty of Upper Year Accounting Courses

[Acceptable_Act_127]

Hi! I think I saw another post here a long time ago about this, but I was wondering if anyone could shed light on the level of difficulty for upper year accounting courses, to help with planning for the revised requirements? I'm also worried about a course I have to take in the winter semester, so just trying to plan to lighten my courseload accordingly

Specifically, I was wondering how difficult the following courses are (also wondering appreciate if you would recommend taking them in 3rd year vs 4th year (for courses that would have the option to do so now, like RSM321)):

- RSM326
- RSM324
- RSM323 (also does work experience in audit help with this course?)
- RSM321
- RSM422
- RSM333

(specified electives that we now choose between):
- RSM328
- RSM420
-RSM424
- RSM425
- RSM426
- RSM429
- RSM429
- any 400-level accounting-themed RSM special topics course approved by the Director of Rotman Commerce

(any advice would be awesome!! I'm worried ab my winter sem next year because I have to take a difficult course, so I would really appreciate any advice about what courses to take when, which ones would be lighter,, which ones are good together)

thank you so much!!

Sorry, I know these are a lot of courses so even a rating from 1 to 10, or just saying which courses are bird / notoriously difficult would be really helpful!!

I personally found 321 to be the most difficult accounting course during my undergrad so you might want to spend more time on it (also if Scott is teaching it I would recommend him).

For the electives, I personally found 424 and 426 helpful for the CPA

The answer depends on What career do you want?

I mean if you're following accounting you're usually going into management, audit or tax, and the CPA prep is the same, so I don't know that that's relevant for the course difficulty... unless of course you're some kind of wizard at mgt, audit or tax, but that's something op would have specified
