I know Bus 360 and Bus 207 are the most difficult ones but do I need to allocate a substantial amount of time on those courses to get a B or higher.
I am taking those specific courses since they are all in SFU Surrey campus and Bus 360 has no final or midterm. So 3 Finals I have to deal with.

I did a similar schedule, but with 5 courses while working 2 part time jobs (20-30 hrs / week):
Bus 360
Bus 207
Bus 303
Bus 320 (intermediate accounting)
CMNS 110W
Ended up doing decent (B or higher) in all of them, and it's definitely not easy but not as tough as people say. I'll break down each course according to my experience:
BUS 360 - Shauna Jones - takes effort and quick learning to wrap yourself around business writing, but very manageable. I spent ~3-8 hours per week on this course and was like <0.5% from an A-.
BUS 207 - Karen Ruckman - easy class, just know your supply & demand curve and some of the other concepts from the course. She is very theoretical based teacher and has simple calculations. No homework at all. Spent ~1-3 days studying for the 2 midterms and final.
BUS 303 - Robert/Bob Korth - easy class, 7 written assignments including 3 case essays (i heard its only 3 case essays now). Lecture is completely useless, i only went to 2 of them. Cases are extremely easy to write and take ~2-5 hours each and his grading scheme is easy. The journal assignments (i heard he got rid of em) take a bit more time. No midterm/final, just assignments.
BUS 320 - not relevant but for reference, i spent ~3-4 hours / week on hw
CMNS 110W - not relevant but for reference, i spent ~ 1 hour / week on hw
I still managed some free time while working and taking these 5 courses and I'm no where near smart, so it's very do-able. Go for it.
BUS 393 - Colin Hawes - I didn't do that well in this one, but its not a hard course, spend a few days before MT and Final reading the book (open book) and understanding your terminology and concepts. No HW, but 1 presentation.
