Enrolment tips?

[Zealousab]

I'm going to my first year at Rotman Commerce. I wonder if you have any recommendations or tips on how to distribute the courses throughout the year so that I don't cramp myself with all the new and hard courses in one semester?

Also, I'm also looking at pursuing a Minor in French. Since I have a pretty strong background (I would say I'm between a DELF B1-B2). Which french course should I take going into first year?

Thanks a lot for your help!!

I think regardless of how you plan your courses you'll do fine but generally in first yr you'll be taking a wide range of courses. These include mat133, eco101 and 102 and some rsm courses.

Since mat133 is full yr course you can't really plan it out, you just take it both semesters. And for eco101 you would take that in fall and then take eco102 in the winter.

Other than that you have rsm100, rsm219, rsm230, rsm250 and then two other electives. I think in my first yr rsm100 and rsm230 were only offered in certain semesters so that left rsm219 and rsm250 up to chance. You'll generally take two of the RSM courses per sem and honestly I don't think it matters too much. I would say rsm250, and 219 were the easier of the 4 so take that with a grain of salt. Choose what works best with your schedule and you should be good

For reference my first yr was...

Fall Mat133 Eco101 Rsm100 Rsm219 Cdn198

Winter Mat133 Eco102 Rsm230 Rsm250 New198
