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.

My GOD!!!!! I'm the exact opposite. (well sorta) My first semester just ended and I managed to pull off an A- in math after studying super hard, and a B+ in Econ 103. I'm still waiting on Econ 105 and English. My Econ mark should be pretty good but for English, I did terrible on both my essays ( got a C and C- respectively) and will probably get no higher than a C+ if my final exam mark is decent.
And does anyone have any tips on how I can prep for BUS 251 with Anne Macdonald? Is the whole textbook relevant or can I skip some parts? The textbook is very dull and each chapter is 50 pages long
I heard that accounting can be quite difficult
+ I'm quite worried about the group project for BUS 272... what happens if some of the people in my group don't pull their load ? ):
