Lol, yeah... but contact your SRA! Keep on pushing the idea! A better server, a better system! Keep on putting pressure and they will keep on putting pressure. Enough pressure and McMaster will collapse to our wishes!

Guide to making SOLAR amazing:
Step 1: Get a better server that can fit more than 7.2 people online at once.
Step 2: Implement waiting lists for full courses.
Step 3: Profit!

I believe they fill up fast. I don't think I got into English until a couple days before school started. Just keep on checking, people are always switching.

How does that translate into Profit for McMaster?
Lol, it's worth cutting off your hand and throwing it at SOLAR just to get that .2 XD

Profit for the students!

Lol, but that system would mean a loss for McMaster and McMaster can't let that happen! They must suck every penny they can from us!

Wait so I really don't get it here :S First you said expectations are higher for 3rd year classes, then you said 3rd year classes were easier?! :S :S :S
Because I'm thinking of taking a 3rd year religious studies class instead of piling on another class from my two majors(Sociology and Econ). Like right now ALL my classes are either Econ or Sociology(Due to lack of open electives) and I'm soo not looking forward to that :(

I found my third year classes easier in terms of content, yes. But expectations for formatting and the like were higher.

Haha, yeah, you're right.
But it was 3 A.M. when I made that post so I'll blame it on that.
