Help Me Choose My Elective Please!
Hi. Out of all the courses I took in 1st year, I found Health and Aging 1BB3 to be the most interesting. I know a lot of people found it super dry and boring but I actually thought it was super fun and exciting. Is there anything out there that's similar that I could take? I want this to be a bird course so nothing difficult but I want it to be similar in content to that course but I thought that course was amazing! I tried to sing up for 1AA3 but it full. Thanks in advance!

Read the course descriptions of all the Hth Aging courses and see what you're interested in and have the pre-requisites for: http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /CALEN...12/pg1866.html

If you like numbers but don't wanna do much more than adding and subtracting Econs 1B03 is good. The music courses are also supposed to be SUPER easy

Took Econ 1B03 and absolutely hated it ahah but thanks for the suggestion! I like writing essays and papers and I don't like courses that have a huge weight on the final exam [i'm aware that most courses do]. I'd rather write a paper worth 50% than a final exam.

You should be glad you don't live in the UK then, the universities there have a lot of courses with exams worth 100% of the final mark

if you're in level III and have taken soc work 1a06 you can take soc work 4l03, social work with an aging population if you found 1bb3 easy, if you're going into level II, someone already suggested mental health, or you can take sociol 3g03 sociology of healthcare, even though it's third year you can be in second to take it, i found it easier than my second year sociology classes to be honest.
