These forums are intended to be here students to seek help/gain insight in something regardless of what program/courses their taking. I had a question with regards to three Commerce courses I will be taking. I like to prepare myself ahead of time if possible (which in this case, clearly was possible). I got the help I needed, and sometimes if you didn't notice, people simply need re-assurance. If you want to continue this discussion with me, please feel free to send me a PM. |

Ha yes, studying every night will land you a 12 for sure. I studied maybe 1-2x a week for it, tho it was my lowest mark. I basically signed myself into the tutorials and left, the TA didn't care. If you take that much initiative you will be successful 
For 2FA3, the exam had a few of the practice problems, with some "twists". The midterms had questions taken straight from the practice problems. The exam was also cumulative.. which was painful. |

Ah okay. That's a relief then Andrew. I thought that my mandatory Commerce courses for next years would potentially bring my SA down seeing as I have no prior background in anything remotely close to Commerce, haha.

Does Commerce 2FA3 have in class tests/quizzes? According to my mock I won't have too much time to study for it if it'll occur on a Friday. |

2FA3 had Saturday morning midterms when I took it. Even worse than Friday night midterms IMO :( |

Morning & Saturday? Feels like Econ 1BB3 all over again haha. I think that'd be better for me rather than having it on Friday morning. Cause I'd have all of Friday to prepare for them. Thanks Circa. =D |
