you're allowed to take the same course twice, max (unless you have permission to do otherwise).
You may have up to 5 duplicate courses on your SFU transcript, with any one course only being allowed to be duplicated once. Only the better grade is counted into your CGPA at SFU. The lower graded course is still on your transcript, but the grade is not counted. Permission for extra duplicate attempts is obtained from the Dean’s Office (not at School/Department level). |

DO NOT TAKE IT.
it is a complete waste of time. you do not learn anything you couldn't from a simple google search.

you can only apply to drop the course and get a WD instead of an F within the first 4 or 5 weeks of the semester. you get none of your tuition back. after a certain deadline, you can't get a WD, only an F.

Yup! This is correct. I've been hearing a lot of different stories. A lot of my friends had tried to talk to different advisor, but no luck at all. A WD can be only done within the first month of the semester, otherwise an F. I think they're playing strict on this now. Stories from the graduants were a several years ago, it was with more possibilities trying to talk to different advisors to get a WD if you're lucky. But as of now, I don't think so.

hey guys so I'm taking math 157 and the book we using is applied calculus: for the managerial, life, and social sciences .. I was wondering is there like no solution key for this or something ? I'm just wondering because when I took precalc there was a student solution key for odd questions but I didn't find anything like that for this book.

The prof selects EVEN questions for HW, so you won't be getting those.

I worked at Langara and they've been contemplating on only accepting cash, checks or online bank transfers.
SFU only accepts the aforementioned methods. I recommend direct online banking. Keep in mind that it takes a couple days for checks and bank transfers to process.

I know it sucks!
But that course was pretty easy as long as you do your homework BEFORE hand. Practice is key for the midterms and final. Keep doing problem sets and if you ever get too confused ... Google these two guys:
Khan Academy and PatrickJMT ...
They make online videos to explain questions and concepts. More importantly, they're very precise and engaging.
Last thing, I really hope you didn't get Jedwab as your prof. He's an idiot.

Different courses should have different assigned ones. IIRC, all courses will be a lab assigned to them.
