Deciding if I should take Econ 1BB3 or Environ Sci 1A03
After I read the course reviews of both courses, it seems like both are not easy..
which one should I take? Please give me some opinion!

I already have Econ 1B03 next term so maybe it's better to not take econ 1bb3 at the same time?

I'm in Econ 1bb3 right now. I don't mind it, but it sure as hell is not easy.. and Im probably only saying that cause Im in first year so idk. It takes a lot of work, plus you have online tests almost every week, even though they are open book and have no time limit they're pretty hard. 1b03 is easier than 1bb3 (econ). and from what I've heard enviro is easier, so I hope this helps lol.

The Aplia questions were never really hard. Just read the textbook before hand, and you're usually set for them. Besides, you get to attempt questions usually more than once, so if you're careful enough you can land a decent mark on them. I'm not sure if they are worth the same as last year, but if I recall correctly, they weren't much anyway to begin with. |

they're worth 12 percent this year, and yeah they're not too bad I just felt they got harder towards the end. but they're a life saver because they brought up my mark.

They were worth 12% last year as well, so the grading scheme is probably the same. Yeah, I think they didn't really hurt my mark...I just screwed up the first few for not paying close attention to certain things. |

ECON 1BB3 is pretty easy. I have it now and its honestly not bad at all. There are weekly Aplia assignments but again they're pretty simple and you can use your notes and textbook cause you are not timed. The assignments are also good as practice and understanding the material. Hope that helped!
...And you if need the textbook just lemme know I'm selling mine

avoid any enviro sci courses.
I know two people that were in Enviro 1G03. One of them dropped, the other is still in and I'm pretty sure it's his lowest grade in all his courses.
The course average for that class is like 45%. Brutal class and it's not a good class to take if you don't have interest in examining the formation and shape of different kinds of rocks.

Both are quite straightforward but you do need to put time into each course or you will be disappointed with your result.
