That... why. Can't they number the seats and assign them that way? Or tell people ahead of time that they have to sit in a certain spot? Or just not care whether they sit with their section? Wtf. They really only do these kinds of exams for the smaller arts courses at my school. XD;
I think each section has a slightly different version of the test. But I don't even know why they do that lol
Is this one of the reasons Triffy's university is constantly the butt of jokes? Even though my boss graduated from there and I probably shouldn't say much about it, lmao.
Probably not. In my experience that only happened with me in a couple of math courses. lol Not often. Mostly, we get compared to the University of Toronto - which is kinda...built into the city and has interesting architecture. York has a more concentrated campus location rather than the more slightly spread out grounds that Toronto has. And our buildings aren't old like Toronto's. So, they go to class in cool old looking castle things and I go to class here: Toronto is downtown proper, so there's also a better social scene. York is on the outskirts of the city. We're also just different and use a strange 9-point grading scale instead of common 3-point scale. It can be converted though, so not a big deal. It has a reputation of taking in not taking in the people exclusively because they have such a high acceptance rate. But they also have a stupidly large number of liberal arts majors and courses, which explains that (also those have giant class sizes) - you don't need to be brilliant for those. But for the courses I've been apart of - Information Technology, Computer Science, Math, Administrative Studies - the classes have been smaller and there are requirements because people get kicked out or they drop out. If you take a basket weaving course, then the steretype probably applies and there are a lot of those kinds of programs here, but if you're not in one of the courses I don't think it applies. We don't specialize in any of it like Waterloo does, but we're not bad at it either - probably on par with Toronto (except for Admin Studies, which is probably better here as there's some shared professors between that faculty and the Schulich school of business which is on campus). If I went to Toronto for the same major I don't think I'd be better or worse off. I'd just be annoyed because it's further away XD Most of my complaints with York have been more about bureaucracy and administration, which has been for the most part as annoying as it was in elementary school and high school - so I don't imagine it is any different elsewhere. I also complain a lot about everything. I'm a curmudgeon lol So don't look too much into it
...I actually think that building looks pretty cool. XD And what kind of college/university actually has a basket weaving course? Seriously?
...not literally a basket weaving course. It's a saying. Like a "Mickey Mouse" course XD The stuff that doesn't really lead to careers most of the time like women's studies
Honestly, I looked into switching to CS at York the other year when I wanted to move back home for a bit and their transfer rates are ridiculous. I would've had better luck trying to transfer to UofT over York which is weird 'cause York was the first university to accept me by months when I applied out of high school. XD; York is pretty huge on liberal arts though, yeah. Most people I know who went there went into arts (either Fine Arts--which iirc York has a good program for) or some random degree. (Not business because York's business school is actually ridiculously top-notch and these people weren't smart enough to qualify for it.) So most people who went there that I knew from high school had crappy marks and went into what I consider a fairly useless degree... though I know a few went for a "useless" degree that they could power through so they could get into med school faster. Mind you, I hated the one person I know who did this so that's not a good example either. XD;
