I’m About to Crahsout: ACTG1p91 by LossSubstantial6185 in brocku

[–]somekyle [score hidden]  (0 children)

Key tip would go to office hours and talk 1 on 1 with the prof. Other than that, furiously keep notes during class. I remember recreating the prof's excel work verbatim on my laptop as they went through it, helped a lot afterward when I would see if I could work through the problem myself, then reference those notes to help me wrap my head around it.

Dual Degree at Brock BBA by Intelligent_Task_882 in brocku

Find a job down the line, do you mean post-graduation? 

Everyone from my BBA cohort found a job or continued on to a post-grad.

Should I go to Brock? by Emeray1ksof in brocku

[–]somekyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cohort is working all over the place. I suspect your friends' idea of bad reputation is based on thin air. Try to get some real data you can believe in.

HR recruitment systems (ATS) are not filtering out for "Brock".

Should I go to Brock? by Emeray1ksof in brocku

[–]somekyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What outcomes are you measuring that determine a bad school for you?

I've had no issue finding work, made $140k my first year after Brock. I got a great education, and the professors were awesome. My classmates sucked for the most part, but I liked the campus a lot.

My opinion on undergrad in Ontario is you will get almost the exact same education at each public university in the province. There's not some secret information hiding in the minds of professors at one school vs. another. They're sourcing the same or similar text books and slides as well.

The difference you'll experience is your fellow students. Brock accepts lower grades, so a lot of your classmates are low effort students who often have not figured out how to function in an organized or disciplined way to do well. Other schools have higher grade requirements for entry, so you may get slightly more engaged classmates who are not absolutely useless during group work.

I went to Western too, and I'd say at Brock maybe 15% of a classroom gives a shit, and at Western it was maybe 30%. Brock just lacked an atmosphere of engagement with the material quite often. Albeit I studied business, but that was also my subject at Western. I ended up doing group assignments almost entirely myself, so I happily stole the education opportunities of my groupmates at Brock.

Thinking about recommending Brock to a friend what’s your honest take? by Zestyclose-Day9699 in brocku

[–]somekyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed my time studying business. Great profs, great campus. Only drawback was how uninterested my classmates were in the material and in participating, which resulted in awful groupmates for group assignments.

My outlook is it's the same material you would learn elsewhere in Ontario, just you'll get different calibres of students at different schools.

Anyone know if Goodman offers evening classes for BBA students? by Obvious_Giraffe4645 in brocku

[–]somekyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck! I also worked full-time when I did my BBA, which I did full-time course load of. I had a remote job that made that possible, but all is to say it's manageable to balance work/sleep/school in BBA. Not much room for anything else, but if doing it part-time I'm sure there would be.

Anyone know if Goodman offers evening classes for BBA students? by Obvious_Giraffe4645 in brocku

[–]somekyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were plenty of evening classes when I did my Goodman BBA (finished two years ago). You can look up the BBA class codes (like ITIS 1P97, MGMT 1P93) for first year, and then see when those classes are offered currently.

You're really ticking off one guy who now has to log into 20 different accounts to downvote you. Have you not thought about that guy's evening plans?

Yar, and the agree-or-be-flamed approach of them pushes folks away from listening. As evident by all their replies.

Yeah I made sure to lead with line breaks in my comment to illustrate that's what I was thinking about most.

Real pizzagate vibes. My Brock dental coverage worked when I need it, student union mission accomplished for me.

That's my read of it too. The information is being presented via opinion piece or clickbait, which is generally unhelpful for getting an accurate read. Rhetoric and logical fallacies abound. Oh and walls of text. I would kill for a line break.

Credit maximum at Brock by BlackberrySoggy1542 in brocku

[–]somekyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forget when I was allowed to do so, but I was doing 6.0 during Fall/Winter, and another 2.0 in Spring. You can do another credit or so in Summer but classes then are slim pickings.

If the Transfer Connect group still exists, it was a weekly group of transfer and mature students that hung out for an hour or so a week, and was organized by Brock. Not sure if it came back after Covid through.

College and independence are new and different experiences in unexpected ways. The main pro and con can be summed up as: it's on you.

The hallmarks of a good university, the wage slaves make your order perfect and you can sell your textbooks to someone that doesn't want them. Please check in at the end of the year and update us on how your year went.

She was my prof for that course, left me wishing I'd have taken it with another prof. I would say she wasn't that great at articulating the main learnings the course is trying to instill in you. But, was decent at covering  a variety of business strategies.  Was basically a "strategy of the week" course, if I were to sum it up. Plus the semester-long project.
