Unforgivable.

you guys are such losers, lol

i had a 91 avg in highschool but still chose soc sci because thats where my interests lie, not every 90avg individual goes into ENG or SCI

and arent people aware that humm and soc sci people normally do GRAD SCHOOL?, its not like everyone is done after 4 years

For most of my courses in the life sciences memorization was the only required skill to get a high mark. Commerce on the other hand requires lots of practice, try taking some upper year accounting courses your opinion of the program will change.

Far from easy? I want to blast my brains out because of how easy the courses are. You're just stupid.

Correct me if im wrong but the only third year courses you guys take at 3FA3 and 3MC3? If so i found those 2 to be fairly straightforward, the upper year accounting courses like taxation and 4AA3 are not easy.

If I got owned this badly on dumb internet argument like this Desda girl just did I would probably hate my life too

You're mentioning second semester fourth year courses - of course those aren't going to be dreadfully easy. What did you expect? I could mention organic chem 4oa3, 4th year analytical chemistry (if they even offer that course) and 4th year physics and say "oh those are hard too!!!1!! therefore life science is hard" but a few courses requiring work in your 40 course university career doesn't make the entire program hard.

I've been creeping this thread for entertainment purposes (yeah, that's how I'm spending my Sunday afternoon - what of it?). Every comment for the last few pages has been:

- people defending their own programs
- people commenting on programs they're not in
- Desda making fun of her own program

I haven't seen the original poster in a while. I'm wondering if she's decided to go somewhere else now.

What's up with some of the students in Science (especially here at MacInsiders) thinking that they're so much better off than students in Humanities/Social Science? "Your so stupid, im gunna b a docter, hahaha lolz." Hate to break it to you, but we're all pretty much in the same boat when it comes to future possibilities. How bright your future is really depends on your intelligence, not your faculty. The faculty bashing and holier-than-thou attitude is quite sickening. In my experience, it's actually the Humanities' students who are better at expressing themselves eloquently, making good arguments, and writing well. Humanities' professors are also more passionate about the subject they teach (at least, in my experience so far at Mac). Being in Science, I can't tell you how much it sucks when I have to do a group project and deal with people who can't even write a proper sentence. And these people all achieved 85 and above averages in high school. But what good is that average if you still haven't learned to write a basic argument? The point is, each faculty has its own merits and interesting aspects. Students from different faculties have a wide variety of weaknesses, strengths, and interests. One can never know them all and comment on the difficulty/worth of each field without having fully experienced every program at Mac.

Oh, and I agree with the posters who said that the entrance average of a program is based on the demand. Try getting into humanities/social science at Harvard or any other Ivy League!

Who cares we are all gana die

Apologies for being pedantic, but...

I can't comment on the eloquence (probably true), but Humanities students don't make particularly good arguments - I've taken a fair share of courses in the Humanities, and although the students' arguments have plenty of rhetoric, it's largely empty in terms of logic and reasoning.

Of course, this isn't implying science students are any better - but remember that eloquence, rhetoric, and big words don't necessarily make a good argument. Indeed, in an academic setting, I'd say that sound reasoning and logic take precedence, wouldn't you?
