The Ta's should have waited until everyone had one and then started timing from there, or put the exams out on the seats before hand, that's how my math exams were like. Their method of handing out the exams was so slow, I was near the front and I wasn't getting my exam anytime soon until they finally said fuck it.

For BIZ:

You have to apply online. On the application form, you include all your resume references, schedule and the top 4 courses you would like to TA for. I think you need atleast an A- to apply. If they like you, they'll email you back telling you which class you are TAing and how many sections.

Applications ended mid November.

they say the minimum is A- but its pretty rare that they'll accept you with A-. Its usually A or A+

I heard your 254 class had a high average? like 20 percent above the class average was still a B+. :badpokerface:

Here's my experience getting into Beedie through transferring.

BUS 237, BUS 251, BUS 272 = Incredibly easy, just study. 251 is the hardest of the three, but still pretty easy in the grand scheme of things.
100 Level ENGL = Easy if you can write decently. Take advantage of TA office hours.
BUEC 232 = Easy if you actually give a little bit of a shit. Make a good study sheet. I recommend taking it with George Zhang.
MATH 157 = Scaling saves your ass. I should've gotten a C- or a D, but ended up with a C+. I thought the final was brutal, walked out thinking I got like 15 percent, but ended up getting 55. Even if you're lost, try to show ANY work, you'll get part marks.
ECON 103, ECON 105 = Tedious, but mandatory. Insanely boring, and you are either good at it or you aren't. I fell into the latter category.

Then again, that is my experience. Everyone is different. Those who are better at math and stuff will probably do better in ECON/MATH and not as well in BUS 237/272. If you're getting a C- in one or more class, I'd suggest retaking it. You won't get in otherwise, unless you get As in every other course. I got a C+ in all of MATH 157, ECON 103, and ECON 105. Barely made it in without doing retakes (I had a 3.22 in the nine courses I think), only got in because I did well in the other 6 classes. Just be warned that if you suck at quantitative classes, like me, Business isn't always fun. You're forced to take BUS 336 (Data & Decisions 2), BUS 312 (Intro to Finance), BUS 207 (Managerial Econ), and BUS 254 (Managerial Accounting).

I included 254 there, not because it's hardcore on the quantitative stuff, but because the majority of people hate it. I'm in the same boat. I'm probably going to concentrate in Accounting, but managerial acct is so friggin' boring. Not looking forward to the prospect of having to take two more upper division managerial accounting courses.

Just thought I'd lend my two cents. Procrastinating on studying for my BUS 393 final haha.
