taking summer school at stephen lewis for World Issues.. we all thought it was gonna be an easy 90 credit until our teacher came in a told us he expects us to work as hard as day school. he also said that most of us will get 70's and only once has his world issues class had 3 students crack above 90. he also stated that the highest EVER mark in any course he has given out was to a genuis who went to waterloo on a full scholarship.. giving him only a 92.

anyone have any tips who took world issues?

Ahhh, could have sworn I intoduced myself, but apparently not.
Unless I'm blind.

So I've been lurking for months, and finally decided it's time.

I am definitely, 100% an artsy type... anything that's not math or science is probably of interest to me.

I'm random and sarcastic... and that's about it, really. All else falls in these categories.

Good luck with your summer school... I could never do that. I have a hard enough time working during the summer... I like to relax WAY too much. I get two spares anyway, so I'm good... and they are the best things. I had one last semester too.

lol That really sucks

Can't you drop it? or do you have to take it?

Drop family studies, you will forget anything you learned in that class within a week. Religion or World History should also be dropped. Spares are very helpful. Then again since you aren't taking any sciences it may not matter too much.

Also, how are you taking calculus without taking advanced functions?

I can't believe it... we're all grade twelves soon.. weird!! Lol
Anyone thinking of Dalhousie?? Or Guelph??

I'm taking these next year:
English
Advanced Functions
Calculus and Vectors
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
French
and... SPARE! woo!!

I really wanted to take instrumental music, I've been taking it all through high school, it's soo much fun.
But French, Chemistry or Music... one has to go. Conflicts! Aghh!! I can't drop French, because then I won't get an International Languages Certificate.

Did anyone else have conflicts and had to drop a favourite course?

I'm considering Guelph, Dal and UOIT. For biology, or chemistry-ish, so I'm thinking biochemistry.

I am going to a catholic school and I chose philosophy simply because its a U course and the course is supposed to be very interesting.

Greetings and Salutations!

Mhm...I am a major lurker on this site, though I definately will be harrassing everyone with incessant questions very soon....

Grade 12
English
Data Management
Drama
History

Spare
Sociology
Religion
Studies in Literature

...which doesn't sound too bad for me. I think I am also going to be doing some English tutoring. I am hoping to get a B.A. in English!

"Don't tire yourself out[/sarcasm]."

haha no kidding!
I'm thinking of doing something instead of my spare, but not sure what. Philosophy, maybe.

Any suggestions, since you seem so wise and sagely?

Hey guys!
I'm going to be in grade 12 come september as well. Nice to meet you all!
I have to agree I've been lurking this forum for a while now haha.
It's weird now we're actually beginning our final year of high school and we reaallly need to know what we want to do with our lives. :|.
So I'm taking advanced functions in summer school so I'll have that over with before school begins.
And I got my schedule a few weeks ago, I have:
First Sem:
English
Law
World Issues
Data Management

Second Sem:
Intenational Business
History
French
Spare

I want to hopefully attend UWO's Ivey school of business. I'm so scared about not getting in because to be honest, it's my dream school! AHH!!!
