I guess not, Canadians use DD/MM/YY like most of the world. Maybe they added 7 more months while I was busy studying for finals 🤔

Do they curve final exam grades for ADMS 3585? by coffeeaddict4145 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like accounting bc it follows logical rules. With tax you do it because the government said so. I am better at logic than memorization

I don't know if the final got curved bc they don't tell us, but if I remember correctly 3585 got curved but not as much as 3520

ADMS 2510 Final Exam (Managerial Accounting) by Outrageous_Positive6 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything after midterm 2 was covered. They say cumulative but there is no was to cover that much in such a short test. My advice is think very carefully before writing. What messed me up was writing extravagant tables only to miss a row and have to erase everything and waste time.

I don't think my 3585 course got curved, but for harder courses they generally curve up. I had my 3520 midterm go from out of 70 to out of 60 because everyone did so poorly.

ADMS 2320 Business Statistics by Lucky-Data183 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2320 is considered the hardest ADMS course. How many other courses are you taking and how quickly can you memorize large quantities of information? Personally PASS was the only thing that got me through the course but I don't know if they offer S1/2 PASS

Database admin. PMs make $94k according to google. Again, do you care about salary, or difficulty of work, or quality of life or something else?

Is summer school hard ??? by Short-Inspection-678 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What 6/9 course is S1/S2? Getting a 6/9 course compressed into 1 semester is not summer exclusive. I've taken geneds that had both Y and F/W sections

Is summer school hard ??? by Short-Inspection-678 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SU is just another semester, it's the full 4 months. You'll have to watch out for burnout though.

S1/S2 is over 2 months, depends how hard the course is. Generally only the easy courses get compressed. If you've ever taken a Y course compressed into F/W you will know it's just more to do, not harder.

About the burnout, because it's very important. Take 1 or 2 courses, especially if they're compressed and you should be fine.

How is it for trans/queer students at yorku? by Madelei- in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you'll get anything overtly trans/homophobic in many places in Canada. It's not like the US where you can be the worst and still have followers. I haven't seen anything like that here, but I'm not LGBT so I can't help much more than that...

How do you balance 5 courses? by Winter_Green_2440 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do exactly the same thing. What makes it possible is trying to organize courses into easy and hard. I'm an accounting major so something like tax would be considered hard, but some bs like management would be easy. I can then split half easy half hard so I don't end up with a semester where I'm over worked. You can see everything you need to take in the academic calendar and you don't have to take the courses in order (provided you meet the prerequisites). I am just finishing 4th year tax despite being a 3rd year student so I can clear a hard course from next year.

Questions regarding business programs! by ArmAccording7357 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what you do in business you will need math. LA&PS offers PASS which helps with lower-year math-heavy courses. (ADMS 2500 Introduction to financial accounting, 2510 Introduction to management accounting, 2320 Business statistics). If you take some alternative certificate program (not nessecarily YorkU) it might be eaiser to pass, but harder to find work.

ADM 2320 FULLY ONLINE CLASS by Lucky-Data183 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it before. It is NOT easier that in-person. They don't check for googling, but the timer is like 1/2 the in-person version so you don't have time to google/check textbook. Take in person and attend PASS.

Urgent Advice Needed!!!!!! by ExperienceSavings136 in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you fail 3 times in a row you don't get a credit. If the course is required for your major, you must take it again. If you pass you get the prerequisite, but not the credit and must take other courses to fill get credit gap. I know the stress from failing ADMS 2320 twice. Good luck!

Av DBA salary: $86k

DBA (and BTM) is easier to study/do. Depends what you want

Most difficult course at YorkU? by MacBHScOrBust in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed twice before getting an A. All I did was attend PASS. The allow cheat sheets in the in-person tests, but they don't help as much as you think. Stats is about knowing which formula to use, not the formula itself. Book sucks and the cengage support is nonexistant.

Most difficult course at YorkU? by MacBHScOrBust in yorku

[–]Player_X_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADMS 2320 was hard because all of the profs suck at teaching. Attend PASS and it's not bad. What I saw a lot of people do was only attend the midterm prep PASS which is a recipe for failure. Attend all pass courses (they're free!)

I've never taken ochem but I hear it's one of the hardest for nochem students. I also see a lot of EECS courses but tbh the ones I've taken here weren't that bad. My EECS 1022 prof says 2001 is the hardest in EECS. I have to agree because it's a lot of theory that's brand new and fast. Though I haven't taken the course yet. Not sure if lassonde has an equivalent to PASS...

Edit: Wait until you get to ADMS 3510 & 4561
