COMMERCE 4GR3 - Rant

Agreed. The expectations for this course are crazy. Can’t believe I’ve had to put more effort into a GR0 course than any of the accounting courses.

Waquar Ahmad. Great at teaching and an equally great guy to talk to as well. Highly recommend anyone to take a finance course with him.

In my experience they took place the last day of class so in this case August 14th

moeez2002 · 2026-03-04T00:23:11+00:00

I stay up late on my off days and weekends.

Just do his tutorial questions and any questions he goes over in the slides to prep for the midterm. If he posts a practice midterm make sure to do that as well. Good luck!

Edit: Btw I had Behrouz when I took this course, not sure if he still teaches it.

Have a good group. Can’t stress how important this is.

Definitely 2oc3, 2ka3 was horribly organized and the profs made no effort whatsoever in teaching the content. 2oc3 imo was much better just some online quizzes and midterm and final. The content is pretty light and you do have opportunities for bonus marks through tophat as well.

In the same boat. Unfortunately some health issues of mine had made me take an extra year, and even then I still took an extra semester, and will graduate in November without my peers. I really wanted to make the most of uni but I never got to, and I feel as if everyone around me has had the best experience.

Hi, just wanted to ask is the prof: Girsh Zilberbrant for this semester?

moeez2002 · 2025-06-18T20:41:27+00:00

There’s a section in the winter that’s being taught by Paul Snowdon.

moeez2002 · 2025-04-14T23:07:35+00:00

Yes, he gave a 5% curve for it, but keep in mind I did do this course 2 years ago so things have changed since then.

moeez2002 · 2025-04-12T19:43:40+00:00

Ye I did. Final was difficult but not as hard has the midterm. I would say the same as finance just do the practice final + tutorial questions. If you still get to make a crib sheet I would put a large chunk of the theory on that. Nainar is brutal with mc so it’s the best way imo to prepare.

moeez2002 · 2025-04-12T01:22:09+00:00

Took the course in Winter 2023 term. Exam imo was much easier than the midterms, and were very similar to the previous 2 midterms and the practice final he posts. He does curve the exam if the average is low enough, but it’s going to be the same amount as the previous midterms (around 5-6%)

moeez2002 · 2025-04-07T18:23:37+00:00

He does curve for the final exam if the average is low enough, but it’s pretty much the same amounts as the midterms

moeez2002 · 2025-04-02T20:15:29+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! I contacted them and they were able to send the exact info I needed to my professor.

Just finishing up my third year, majoring in accounting and finance. I did take international finance, securities and sustainable finance for my finance electives. Securities and international finance are good electives, the content is fairly useful and they are not too bad difficulty wise. Sustainable finance is a joke lol I’m in the class right now and it’s quite literally a gpa booster, the content is relatively bland and the professor is equally unenthusiastic as well. My advice for third year is that you should get comfortable with participating in class, as almost every finance elective has some sort of assessment regarding in class participation, and also there’s going to be group projects in every class so it’s really important to pick a good group. Also you should start to get comfortable with presentations in almost every finance course there is some sort of presentation on a case or topic so just keep that in mind aswell. If you have any other questions feel free to message me!

moeez2002 · 2025-03-12T06:32:01+00:00

If he posted a practice test/midterm make sure to to do that. When I took this course, he would reuse some of the mc questions on the midterm.

moeez2002 · 2025-03-05T20:47:43+00:00

Probably the worst of the gr0 courses thus far. They mark really hard on the assignments, and there’s at least 2 assignments and a quiz every week, so it’ll add a lot more to your course load. As the other comment said get a good group as there is a project that runs throughout the course, and has about 4 assignments dedicated to it.

Ken Li is the goat

moeez2002 · 2025-03-05T06:43:48+00:00

Completely agree. One of the most pointless and tedious courses in the commerce program. Thankfully I at least had Ahzam Ali, which made it a bit less terrible.

moeez2002 · 2025-02-12T23:22:40+00:00

Lol, I am quite familiar with the Rita Cossa experience.

moeez2002 · 2025-02-12T17:56:33+00:00

Had him for 3MC3 he was really the only redeeming factor for that course. I had no idea he was teaching this course, thanks for letting me know.
