Psychology 1x03 vs. Macroeconomics 1BB3
hi guys i was just wondering if i should take Psychology 1x03 or Macroeconomics 1BB3 as an elective

which class requires the least amount of work b/c my schedule is already so hectic.

also i wanted to do 5 years engineering with management so would i have to take macroeconomics to get into the 5 year engineering management program

but i took microeconomics already for term 2

You only need Microeconomics (1B03) to get into Eng+Management. Source

Both are fairly light in terms of work. Psych has a bit more but its also much more interesting. That being said, take what interests you more.

PSYCH 1X03 lectures are all online. The only class time is the weekly tutorial (1-hour) in which the TA conducts activities to reinforce the ideas presented in that week's lectures.

These are the last days to change your electives. Term 3 = Full-year classes.
Last day for registering (Drop and Add) for Term 2: January 11
Last day for registering (Drop and Add) for Terms 1 & 3: September 16

While I'm saddened by your dislike of biology, you'll be happy to learn that PSYCH 1X03 has very little material related to it.

If you do go into a management program such as Mech. Eng and Management, you will be required to take ECON 1BB3 anyways. Whether you take it now or later is up to you.

If you know what stream of engineering you're considering, you can check the required courses.
