1) You can't consider it an extra course. That implies that the curriculum normally consists of less courses and that you weren't expecting to deal with the course load. Considering you lived on this forum far before university began, you should have been well prepared to handle 6 courses like every other engineer.

2) Did you not realize when you did bad on the midterms that it wasn't going to be a bird course? I knew a good amount of people in the same class as you and they all said it was harder than they had heard, but still easier than their other courses.

3) Have you not realized that this is your fault and that the argument you're making is ridiculously foolish? Get over it and move on instead of trying to justify your own failure by deferring the blame to others.

J. Dorey, temptingf8 all say thanks to RememberTwce for this post.

To OP: It's simple. From now on, you'll have work hard to get what you want. None of this begging for 1 or even 1.4%; that's weaksauce and Grade 3-ish.

just wanted to say, i didnt do bad on my midterms I had around 75% going into the exam,
unfortunately i did bad on the exam

second

I do take advice when people reply
MI actually answered so many questions for me before coming to mac

about my utube thing, I managed to do something better but still with youtube and i get more then 600,000 views a month

ill admit the 200-300 views i get from MI helped me at first

About minor

I might just repeat econ 1b03 and get a 10 in the course to raise my overall gpa
and I want to have some business skills when i graduate from mcmaster, so I think i will stick with it
I am going to try 1 more time with The prof on tuesday and see how it goes

note: I dont mind the hate, has zero affect on me so who ever is reporting the posts, u dont need to its fine

I wish you the best of luck. Just study really hard this term and not the night before the exam! I prepared for ECON 1B03 a week prior to the exam to let all the information settle it.

Goddamn people, just chill. No need to rant if the dude effed up. Whatever happened to the old adage of if you don't have anything to say, just shut up?

It is not possible you had 75% before exam, the max you could have 64.4% before entering exam. Why are you lying to yourself? Another evidence that your are so ignorant and hope you are not one those engineers who don't know how to work with logarithms or finding area for triangle

1) This is the internet
2) This is a forum on the internet
3) You clearly don't understand 1 and 2

probably meant that of the % that had passed, he had 75% of that. so 0.75 x 65 = 48.75 %

but i think perhaps more importantly is that this person realizes that business is 99% how you interact with people and communicate, the actual economics part of it means nothing if nobody wants to work or invest in you. so if you want business skills, why not do one of those entrepreneurial competitions or something. that'll probably look more impressive on a resume than 1 line of "minor in business"

Thanks for explaining the mark thing

Yes I am more interested in business skills

but I would rather have a minor then a competition, because I am already working on something

does mac offer entrepreneurship degree/ minor ? or thats probably more of a collage thing
