Fall semester I don't have a ton of stacked classes but in winter my afternoon is basically just one big block of class after class. Not fun =/

In terms of electives you just need to pick what interests you most off of that list. I personally enjoy the writing so I looked more into the philosophy, sociology and psychology stuff but it really is your decision. More electives open up for second year and beyond so if whatever elective you choose ends up sucking you can switch it up. Alternatively if you ended up loving the elective you take you can choose to take the next level of it as well.


I got classes at 10 and up to as late as 7 with a 3 hour block between 2-5. At school from 10-7 and I'm not even living on campus. That's not fun man. But it's only tuesdays and thursdays.

I know for every school its different but for some people at the UofA or other canadian uni.. what is an ez class for ez gpa boost?? Rember im in engineering so something light will be nice


Personally, I'd recommend grabbing a hold of any economics class you can and avoiding, like the plague, anything that has 'for engineers' in the class description. Arts electives are an awesome opportunity to get around some different types of people (re: non-asian) and it's lame to waste it surrounded by a bunch of boring-ass engineering students. I recommend economics because 1) it's an interesting and practical thing to have an understanding of and 2) your grasp of numerical concepts and how to fudge numbers to make them do what you want will help you do very, very well in the class.

I did a number of economics classes, whatever law classes I could get my hands on, and even took a classics course, a political science course and a sociology course. I love me some electives. Econ was the one I found most useful though. In 3rd and 4th year at UofA you get an opportunity to take some 'management' type engineering classes. I don't know if Dr.Flynn is still teaching there (he was far and away the best prof I've ever had) but having a decent understanding of Econ will help you enjoy and ace his courses.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

Kopo u didnt mention which ones uve heard from all your sources to be, more geared towards mathy and MC exam kind of courses, any others other then econ?

Would u take micro econ [101] or macro [102]?

Edit- Thank for the amazing response flaccid!!! :D I will heed alot of your advice. Which econ class between would u choose from the 100's? How do u find econ to be practicly useful, or is it too difficult to explain? I plan to take as few electives i believe i am required to take between 2and3 depending which eng i choose in 2nd year

I don't know if this has been mentioned as I'm far too lazy to read through six pages, but Vancouver has an absolutely ridiculous Starcraft scene with Local tournaments happening almost once a month as well as a lot of good players.
